MIGUEL DE ALBANIA.
The Central Figure of the Cuban
Revolution of '68.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The Alexandra
Line steamer City of Washington arrived
from Havana last night, having on board the
body of Senior Don Miguel de ALBANIA, who
died recently at Havana. He was for many
years the representative of the Cuban revo-
luton in this country. His father, an intel
ligent and liberal-minded Spaniard, emigrat-
ed to Cuba while young, and amassed an
enormous fortune in the sugar business. He
determined that his son should not depend
solely upon his wealth for position, and
sent him to the best European colleges that
he might aequite sound and broad educa-
tion. For time, young de Aldama was en-
ployed in great banking house at Hamburg
to learn the routine of commercial transac-
actions. After extensive travels he returned
to Havana in 1910, and entered into partner
ship with his father. Two years later he
married distinguished and beautiful Cuban
lady, Hilario Font.
He soon began to play an active part in
politics, and though the Spanish government
to secure his sympathies and influence on
the side of Spain, offered him the title OF
marquis de Santa Rosa," he refused 10 ac-
cept it, and became the chief figure OF the
Cuban revolutionary party. HIS patriotism lla
the soldiers one night broke into his house,
completely demolished the furniture and the
treasures with which the Aldama palace was
stocked. From the safe in Mr.. de Aldama's
private office, $500, 900 was stolen, which has
not been accounted for to this day. FOrtu-
nately the Aldamas had been apprised of the
attack. and had taken refuge in friends
house, A few days later they left the island
and the Spanish government contiscated his
lands and property, valued at S7,OOO,O0O, and
his 5000 slaves. ~
Aldama was among the first to give aid. and
in the following year he was named its rep
resentative in this country, with the title OF
President of the Revolutionary Committee,
In which capacity he yielded great service to
the cause by his Influence and the enormous
snms of money he contributed to the revolu-
tiOn. When the war ended he established a
sugar refinery, bu: it did not succeed, and al
ter sinking nearly half million dollars in 1t
he abandoned it. The Spanish government
subsequently returned to hlm part OF the
confscafed property, and in 1885 he returned
to Havana TO retrieve his lost fortunes. But
it was too late; the island was ruined and
business was stagnant. Accomplished ILL
ness nrostrated him, and after a few days of
agony. the leader of the Cuban Revolution,
and perhaps its greatest figure, passed away
at the house of his lifelong friend, Senior
| Don de Zayas, of Havana.
Mr.. de Aldama's wife died In 1871, in this
city. They had six children, OF whom four
| daughters are alive lone Of them being Mrs.
L. del Monte, of No. 81 West Forty-seventh
street, well known in society here, MT. de
| Aldama's body was embalmed, and will be
nut in the family vault at Greenwood. The
| Cuban Republican papers have appeared in
/ m for their lost leader.

petectIye Davis In Court.

In the Somerset Supreme Judicial Court
Thursday, was heard an action Of trespass
brought by Ola Gordon Of Starks, against
Detective Robert A. Davis Of Portland. The
plaintiff seeks to recover $1,000 for false i'm
prisonment. This is the first of three cases
brought against Davis, in which the total
sum sued for is $4,000.
The circumstances of the case, as alleged,
were as follows: In October, 1885, Lewis
Kershner of King6eld, was robbed of $3.50.
Not being able to find the guilty party him-
self, he procured Detective Robert A. Davis
Of Portland, to work up the case. He went
to Kingfeld and in short time arrested one,
Charles Young. Young confessed the crime
and said he was instigated to do it by the
Gordons, /. e., Benjamin s. Gordon and his
son and daughter, John f., and Ola Cor
don. Acting on this Davis arrested the Cor
dons. They were tried before Justice 1. IL.
Buswell and bound over in the sum OF $4,000.
The case came up before the Grand Jury
and no Indictment was found against them.
Now one Of the plaintiffs, Ola Gordon,
comes into court and claims damages for in
iuries to health while in duress. She pleads
that Davis had no reasonable ground to be-
lieve that she stole the money and that, If he
had such grounds of belief, he had no au-
thority to make the arrest, and says the de-
fendant took her away from her home when
she was sick, in cold rain storm, i'll treated
and abused her.
The defendant pleads not guilty; that he
did not make the arrest, but that the arrest
was made by Deputy Sheriff Sawyer, and
whatever he did was done under the diree-
tion Of said officer, also If evidence should
show that the defendant made the arrest
that he had reasonable grounds for so doing.
The case is pending. w. l.. Whitcomb
for plaintiff, Wilbur +. Lunt of Portland.
and Walton & Walton of Skowhegan, for
defendants.

LEwIsToNs RAILROAD STATIONS.
Considering the Rebuilding Of the
Grand Trunk Terminus There.
Especial to the Press,

lcptCldi 10 tnt lICoo.l
LEWISTON, March 29-Hon. A. A. Strout
of Portland, arrived here this noon. He
was accompanied by leading representatives
of the Grand Trunk railroad. A conference
was held with number of influential citi-
zens of the two cities ON the feasibility of
extending the Grand Trunk from its present
terminus on Lincoln street to Main street, in
Lewiston, and the erection of depot at the
Lewiston end Of the Maine street bridge 1t
Is understood that the company desires the
cities of Lewiston and Auburn to bear the
burden of expense. in other words, they
want the same persons who own the present
road to own the proposed extension. and
will issue securities for its payment, with
sinking fund attachment, guaranteeing suffi-
cient rental to pay the interest. This pro-
ject ahas been considerably talked of and
recommended in the past, but this meeting
gives the movement some Importance, and it
is thought the change will be made.
An informal meeting of some of the lead
ing citizens was held at the Board of Trade
rooms. and ex-Gov. Garcelon introduced the
following resolution. which was unanimous
ly adopted:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the gentlemen
present. the highest interests OF the cities OF
Lewiston and Auburn, and OF the Grand Trunk
RAILWAY as lessee of the Lewiston and Auburn
Railroad would be unmeasurably benefited by
the erection of a new station at the easterly END
OF the Main street bridge.
