PROMPTLY ARRESTED AND PUT
IN PRISON

at Liberty

by the Associated Press.) Mr.. knight, the
correspondent of the London Times. who
is imprisoned in Cabanas fortress, says
he intended to land at Havana some time
ago when he came on board the American
vessel which brought the first propositions
for an exchange of prisoners. Suisse
quently, in company with Mr.. Beck, a
German merchant, he tried to reach Ha-
vana on board the German ship Polaris.
Disappointed in this, he says he finally
bought boat and was lowed by an Amer
lean dispatch boat to a point about eight
miles off the coast, when he was lowered
and started for shore. Owing to the strong
Surf his small boat was upset. but he man
aged to right her and eventually succeed
ed in reaching shore in about twenty-eight
hours. The Spanish forces captured him
near Jaruco, Havana province. He will
probably soon be set at liberty and treated
with great consideration.
On Saturday May %, two persons landed
at Matanzas who gave the names Of Philip
Robinson and H. J. Whigham, claiming
to be Englishmen. According to their
statement they left Key West on a British
vessel ana arrived IN s1gnt OF CaruenaS on
Wednesday, May Is. They were observed
by American warships and fired at, but
without result. On the 2Sth of May, in the
morning, they approached Matanzas,
where no American warship was in sight.
A small boat was lowered and in 1t they
effe cted landing near Matanzas harbor.
They carried four British flags and one
white flag when they were taken, as well
as the oars of the boat which brought them
ashore.
About midnight on Saturday they were
arrested at the Louvre hotel and taken to
San Severino castle, where they will be
put on triI, as it is believed they are
American spies.
On Sunday the supposed spies were
brought here to Cabanas fortress.
