GENERAL JIMMIE
The Revolutionist Says His Arrest at
Cienfuegos Was Unwarranted

Havana August 22.-General Juan Isidri
Jiminez arrived at Manzanillo this morn
ing on board the Polaria. On learning that
he had missed connections with Santiago
de Cuba and that the Polaria was not
going there, he decided to wait for the
next steamer and telegraphed his son here
to bring the family by Thursdays boat
from Batabano, reaching Manzapillo Sat-
urday night and Santiago de CUBA Monday
morning.
He is still greatly annoyed over what
he calls his unwarranted arrest at Cienfue-
COS, as this will delay his arrival in Sam
tiago for more than a week. His wife will
reside temporarily at Santiago while Gen.
eral Jiminez and his son will go to Santo
Domingo on yacht that is now en- route
for Kingston, Jamaica, to coal.
