went into the sub-basement, where there
is a pile of firewood, and hid
the eighteen silver dollars among
the sticks. As soon as he had
left the cellar the light was turned on
and the money discovered The case was
put into the hands of Chief Hazen of the

New York, Aug. Cotton is said to be

HuGxnT's CLAIM AGAINST SPAIN.
The Facts Called For ny Congress
just Compiled.

Washington Aug. 5.-The papers in the
case of Alfredo H. Hugnet, an American
citizen imprisoned in Cuba, which were
called for from the state department prior
to the adjournment of congress, have just
been printed. The case is a claim for S75.-
600 for damages for Imprisonment and
some important points are involved.
Hugnet resided in Havana ana was ar
rested on Sept 6. 1896. on the suspicion
that he was connected with the revolu-
tonary junta at New York. 1t is ASSERT
ed on behalf of Hugnet that no evidence
was found in the house against him, but
that the Spanish police, in order to make
a charge, slipped an iusurgent paper upon
a center table in his residence, doing the
work so awkwardly as to be detected by
Hugnets daughter He was taken to
prison and kept in close confinement for
seventeen days when he was eX-
PEELED from the island, coming
to the United States His lib-
Grafton was the direct result OF
a protest on the part of Consul General
Lee. Replying, Gen. Weyler made the
point that the Imprisonment was justin
able as an act of war regardless OF
treaties. The captain generals language
on this point Is as follows: THE country
being in a state of war, and therefore all
constitutional securities suspended. there
has been no violation Of any precept of
the Spanish fundamental code nor of the
law of criminal procedure in proceeding
to make the arrest and prolonged incom-
municadO said person"
After he landed in Florida, Mr.. Hugnet
filed his claim for damages, his attorneys
asserting that Il Is more urgent than an
ordinary claim for the loss of property.
The last of the documents was dated
July II, and it did not appear that the
state department had then decided to
Dress the claim upon Spain.
