IN A RUSSIAN PRISON.


John Ambro, a naturalized SRussian
Pole, is at present confined in a prison
In Bialostok. Russia, the facts of the
case having been communicated TO his
friend. John Engel of this city. by
means OF letter. Ambro lived i'm OIL
NEVILLE, on Julian street, and last fall
he took out his first naturalization pa
pers through James McGuiggan. a no.
tary public, VINO keeps q store at 147
Manton avenue.
Ambro had served five years in the
Russian army, according 10 the law of
the country, and after receiving bis dis
charge he came TO this country, after
obtaining a passport He was subject
To the call OF the cZar in case of riot,
rebellion or invasion. but as the same
law applied to all the subjects Of the
czar, there was nothing unlawful in the
fact that Ambro left the country. In
fact, his passport gave him that per-
mission. A short time ago Ambro
made a trip 10 Europe, but did not in
tend to visit Russia, but he met some
friends who induced him to go with
them.
Ambro had no passport. and when
the line that divides the Russian and
German empires was reached Ambro
found that he was in need of something
more than his assurance that he was an
American citizen. The officer who had
charge OF the inspection o fall comers
at this point of the cars domains
placed Ambro under arrest. and now he
is languishing i'm prison white his
friends here are bestirring themselves
to rescue him. The state department
has been notified OF the case.
