search of the Sweeney residence, in which
Police Sergeant James Plunkett and Patrol
driver Fitzgerald captured the burglar
yesterday afternoon, has resulted in the

iards. Three columns were ordered to
leave ManzaniIlo, Guantanamo ana San

general to concentrate on a certain point
near Santiago and attack in force. Cuban
spies in Santiago managed to convey in

enemy and defeat them before juncture
