very quietly and under an assumed
name. because there was a reward or
$4,000 for my capture. l was waking
leisurely along the street one day when
some one caught me by the arm L
turned and saw it was a policeman Inc
policeman said rather sharply: l want
you; come with me- Tne thougnl
flashed into my mind at once that
was recognized and arrested. l was
heavily armed, and, of course, did not
intend to be taken alive under any CIR
cumstances. l remember now very
distinctly that a feeling of pity for the
policeman came over me, for my m1nd
was made up instantly to kill him and
try to escape. But 1 did not lose my
presence of mind. 1 asked him:
What do you want me for?'
:" There's been a murder down the
street. he said.

over it that had to laugh in his face.

told my wife about it, and it made her
so uneasy that she insisted that we
must not stay in Baltimore another
day, and we did not. We went from

on the public receipts. Major General
Ludlow Immediately Issued an order
that receivers Of money for the city must
not disburse 1t except upon the order
OF the governor, thus defeating the de-
sign to sweep the city treasury clean
on account OF Spanish indebtedness.
General Ludlow has also abolished the
bureau of weights and measures. as the
inspectors appointed under the old
regime had been working overtime and
collecting fees from the shoDkeepers In
the most unjust fashion. An issue With
the same functions will be formed.

that the money did not belong to the

only reimburse under compulsion. Gem

reason why Senor de Castro should re-
tain the funds and that repayment must
be made OH or before noon on January
20. This demand was complied with,
Senor de Castro protesting and declaring
that the money did not belong to the
dock department and that the American
authorities had no right TO demand the
money.
