THE HAVANA POLICE.
Grave Charge Against Two Ofiicer ~ .
Prominent Citizen.
Havana Special


Havana Special
A scandalous affair, in which two men,
bers of the Government Police are i'm
plicated, is the talk of the town. AT the
end of the month of March, a ellknowt
citizen was at O late hour Of the night &C
costed in solitary street by two men be
longing to the Government Police, which,
as if Havana or the island were in q state Of
siege, is vested with certain discretionary
powers similar to those extended to senti'
nels. The citizen, according to his tale.
was bound, kicked, and robbed of all tho
valuables he had on his person, inclodina
q revolver, by these two worthless, who
be alleges, then deliberated as to the man
ner in which they should kill him. Finally
they decided hat they would dispatch him
with his own revolver, which they would
place beside him, and the inference wouls
naturally 10 that he had committed sui
eide. Luckily for the citizen, at that mo
ment a fire alarm was sounded, and TIA
guarismen, afraid of discovery by tn
people it would bring In the street, release
their prisoner after warning him not TO di
vulge what had happened.
He, however, reported the Occurrences
the authorities, and it was naturally e1
pected that the guar dsmen would be shot,
but they were only condemned 70 a COM
paratively light punishment, the court
martial having given credence to the story
as related by them, that they found the
gentleman scaling Q balcony and arrested
him, but released him when he gave them
his valuables in recompense. The court
furthermore made ont a case against the
complainant for bribery OF the public
force. In consequence OF this he has
caused to be printed for distribution a mar
ration Of the whole occurrence, in which
b. charges the court with having put into
the mouths Of the accused gnardsmen the
answers they should give, and msinustes
that jus ice is denied him on account q
