GENERAL RoLorf ARRESTED.



Corners Right Hand Man Held in hail
for fnibastssins.
NEw YoRK, Sept. is.-Major General
Carlos Roloff, one Of General Gomss's
right hand men In the Cuban war, was
arrested In this city and locked up in Lud
low street jail on q charge Of having been
one of the organizers Of flibustertng ex-
petition that left Philadelphia on Aug.
last. What evidence the authorities have
against Rploff the clerks In the United
States district attorneys office refuse to
say. The arrest was made on the applica.
ton of the spanish consul in this city.
The reason given is that Roloff was about
to start for Cuba.
when Is years old, and In 1854 went to
Cuba. After the ten years. war he re-
turned to this country, but again enlisted
under Gomez about year ago For some
time past the Cuban junta hos wanted
some one from Gomez's army to come here
and help In the organization Of flibuster-
ing expeditions. Roloff left Cuba about
two months ago. He did not come d.
rectly TO this CITY, but travelled about n
while, visiting Philadelphia.
At every turn he succeeded in eluding
the Spanish spies Then he came to this
city, and soon afterwards the steamship
Laurada left Philadelphia with one Of the
finest expeditions that has ever been sent
from this country. The expedition was
landed safely, Now the Spanish spies al
lege that they knew Rolotf was organic
ing the expedition. They postponed ar
resting him, they said, in order to nip ii
the bud a second expedition that was re.
ported to be organizing in Philadelphia.
Rolotf' s friends were very indignant over
his arrest at an hour when bail could not
be procured. Rolod was arrsigned before
United States Commissioner Alexander,
and held under c. 500 bail Denomination.
