MAY FORCIBLY DETAINED.
GUATEMALA HOLDS AMERICAN
CITIZEN PRISONER.
Action Due to the Fact That May
Won Claim Against Guatemala
for $4,000.

New Orleans. December 4.-The steam
ship Saltwater arrived here today from
Port Barros, Guatemala. Her officers
taken before notary and made state
ments relative to an outrage upon an
American citizen.
Mr.. r. II. May, who once served the
government of Guatemala as the con-
tractor for the Guatemala Northern rail-
road, was arrested at the gangway OF
the steamer and thrown in prison upon
the charge of attempting to leave the
republic without having paid his debts.
The animosity of the officials of the lit
tie republic against May is probably at
tributable to the fact that Mr. Kenner
the British umpire in the arbitration Of
the case of II. III. May. an American citi-
zen. against the government Of Guate-
mala. recently rendered a judgment in ia
vOr of the claimant to the amount OF
$4,000 American gold on a contract which
May had with the government to operate
and improve the railroad.
The Saltwater arrived at Port Barrios,
the chief eastern seaport of the republic.

ed That afternoon. Mr.. Mays health for
some time has been anything but good.
and he arranged to make visit to this
country for the necessary medical treat
ment. Acting under the requirements OF
the law OF that country. he made the
necessary arrangements for powers of at
torney. ana these documents were to be
turned over to Mr.. T. w. Fuqua, who was
to represent Mr.. May and stand RESPONSE
BILE Tor the debts Of the railroad con-
tractor. All these papers had been Sc
cured. together with a passport from
the commanding of the port, but word
was doubtless sent to the capital that
May was about to leave and orders came
from the president TO detain him.
As May walked oGt the wharf to the
gangplank and started up to the ship a
man in citizens clothes stopped him. An
officer Of the army then came up and in
formed Mr.. May that orders had been
issued Il detain him. May exhibited his
papers. explaining that he had the docu-
mentS according to the law of the land
and had a right to go. The officer was
firm and May was marched off. The ship
sailed ana Mr.. Fuqua came as a passen-
ger. He viii go to Washington and lay
