full statement of the case General
Sanguilly considers that the Cuban
army has been insulted in his person.
General LudiOW'S letter to Sanguilly
dated Jan. ., was a personal letter. not
an official communication, and was
courteously phrased. In it General Lud-
low expressed surprise that a man of
Sanguilly's rank should take part in
such a scene as that which occurred
at the Albisu theatre, and it contained
a direct suggestion as to the propriety

Major Russell =. Harrison, provost

written a letter to Major General Lee.
protesting against the treatment of sol
diers arrested in the city without
passes. The Havana patrol arrest any
prIvates or n-commissioned officers
whom they find without a written leave
in their possession, and the prisoners
are taken to the guard house. where
they are held until next morning, and
sent back to camp on the 10 O'Clock
train.
Major Harrison calls attention to the
fact that no arrangement is made to
feed the prisoners during their deten-
ton IN the guard house, and that con-
sequently they have nothing to eat un-
til they reach camp. In come instances
the soldiers thus taken into custody
have been without food for twenty-four
hours AS most of the arrests are made
at night, the prisoners are obliged to
go without their breakfast unless they
buy 1t for themselves or are voluntar-
lily fed by other soldiers in the guard
house. The authorities though hereto
fore not officially cognizant of this Gus
tom, are said to consider it a proper
punishment that the culpritS should be
deprived of a square meal. Other per-
sons, however, say that it is injurious
in this climate for a person to miss his
meals, especially breakfast.

the fact that Senior de Castro insisted
upon the mention of several articles in
