the island Walter Bett, secretary of the
British consulate at San Juan, after sub

consul general, Mr.. Crawford, has report

are imminent.
The day after the bombardment of San
Juan by the ships of Admiral Sampson,
General Macias caused an extensive sys-
tenn of mines to be installed in the outer
harbor, in anticipation of the return of
the ships and subsequent bombardment.
Although the greatest care and Sc
crecy were observed by the Spanish in
mining the harbor, the details of the
work were conveyed to Consul General
Hanna. He is now making an extern
sive report of the operations to the ma
Wy department.
In some way Gen. Macias learned of
this and as the British consulate has
been guarding American interests in
Porto Rico since the withdrawal of Mr..
Hanna, he at once suspected that Eng
Hshmen had conveyed the news to the
United States official.
He peremptOrily summoned thirty
British subjects before him and put
them through a searching examination,
after which several of them were cast
into prison for twenty-four hours.
Upon Secretary Bett, Gen. Macias
visited most of his wrath. The British
official was practically accused of haV-
ing revealed the military preparations
and he was dragged off to a dungeon.
There he was kept for f1fty-six hours
in face of the protests Of Consul Gen
eral Crawford.
When he was released Mr.. Bett was
presented with his passports.
