Key West. March s.-Mrs. Conception
Agramonte was a passenger on board
the Mascotte from Havana when the
vessel touched here Saturday night en-
route for Tampa She was accompanied
by her daughter. Mrs. Agramonte Is
a widow, 50 years old lives at Puerto
Principe. and has five sons now fight
ing in the Cuban army.
She informed the correspondent of
the Associated Press that the chief of
police of Puerto Principe called upon
her. told her the government had or
dered her arrested, and conducted her
to prison, where she was confined In a
small cell with II other prisoners.
Her relatives, fearing on account Of
her advanced age, she would not be
able to endure this severe treatment,
offered TO pay the authorities for bet
ter accommodations for her. These Of
fers were received with sneers. Her
relatives We're told that anything was
good enough for a Cuban, and they
were asked why Mrs. Agramonte
should get any better treatment than
the rest. Her daughters appeal to be
allowed to see her was refused.
MY sunerings," said Mrs Agra
monte, were intense. After remain
ing in prison 20 days 1 was sent to Ha-
vana, and there confined in a house of
refuge for women Of all classes. The
crowded condition Of this jail made it
worse than the Puerto Principe prison.
After three days confinement there l
was released, and, having been vaccin-
mated and after undergoing the quar-
antine regulations, I was permitted to
leave on the Mascotte. There was no
charges preferred against me, and I
can think of no reason Sor my arrest
except that my sons are fighting for
free Cuba"

Guadalajara, Mex, March s. - Flu
neral ceremonies took place yesterday
over the remains of a man who claim
ed, and backed up his claims with all
most indisputable proof, to have been
born i'm Spain 1854 years ago. Jesus
Camprehe died on Friday He was
living with his great-great-g -greatgrand-
son. and had copies of the church reg
lister at Valadolid, Spain, showing the
date of his birth and baptism Dec. y,
1742. Camprehe was in fun possession
of his mental faculties to the last, and
this fact led many persons to doubt his
veracity. He frequently related Incl
dents which occurred in the last cen
tury. A priest in the church which he
attended who is now 84 years old, says
he remembers Camprehe as being an
old man when he was a little boy.

son of Mr.. Charles Noil, who lives
about four miles from this city, on
the Dry Run road, was accidentally
shot on Saturday afternoon while
hunting. Stuart, with his young
x.year old brother, had gone
hunting, and had stopped not far
from home for some purpose or
other and dropped the gun on the
ground. When they started Stuart
picked up the gun by the muzzle
dragging it over the ground. In
some manner it was discharged, the
shot entering the boys right
side, going in the direction of the
heart, where the charge is supposed
to have lodged. The younger boy
ran to the house and as best be
could, told his parents of the catas.
