CUBAN TROUBLES IN KEY WEST.
A Consul Gets Himself Into q Tangle
Over q Highwayman.

A Key West special says: Three officers ar
rived from Cuba last week for the purpose Of
taking there. should he be extradited, Cuban
named Mariana Samos, who is held on extradi-
ton charges as bandit for highway robbery
kidnapping and other offenses committed in
Matanzas nearly year ago. The policemen
on their arrival were cavilled at. hooted and
threatened by mob Of reckless Cubans led by
Emilio Garcias and Perique Torez, the former
of whom with others was tried and acquitted
in the circuit court here on a charge Of black
mailing. They assembled around the Spanish
consulate and jeered the consul and called his
attention to revolvers, which the leaders held
in their hands. hoisted Cuban colors opposite
the Spanish flag on the consular Office, besides
their indignities offered to the consul. Senior
Oswaldo A. CARR For these offeuses they
we're arrested and taken before the
mayor, who sentenced Garcias and Torez to
sixty days imprisonment in the county jail,
from which they appealed through Attorney
JEFF. Brown. The consul's residence has been
guarded day and night for the past week by
order of the mayor. Senior Carr, the consul, is
a Cuban, and was secretary to NJ. Torojo during
the past year. and was appointed consul on the
removal to Europe Of the latter about a month
ago. Hence some Cubans think that he ought
to shield rather than arrest Samos Carr has
reported his treatment to the Spanish minister
at Washington, the governor of Cuba and 10
the consul general at New York, who has sent
Antonio Cuijas an attache at New York to
Key West to look into the matter and render
assistance, If needed, to the consul Cuijas
assistance and protection rendered the consul.
Neither of them anticipate any further moles-
tation. Samos will get hearing on Thursday
before Commissioner Z. o. Locke.

once more rampant in certain parts of the

tried for brigandage and murder at Trapani,
one of whom, having been found guilty, WIS
sentenced to thirty years imprisonment Mr..
Carroll relates the capture and Imprisonment
by the brigands on the 25th ultimo of one
Philip Arrigo, wealthy merchant of Ter
mini, place near Palermo, while on a visit to
one of his villas. The particulars of Mr..
Arrigo's capture created great CONSERVATION
among all classes, including the authorities.
Mr. Arrigo was subsequently set atiiberty after
his family had paid ransom Of 100, 900 lire
Since his release his captors have been ar
rested, together with several prominent men
of Termini and vicinity, who are said to have
been the persons who employed the brigands
to capture him. Besides the above cases Mr..
Carroll says others have occurred near Rome
