GERMAN STEAMER HELD
BY Colombian Authorities to secure
Arrest of Abel MurriliO.


Now YORK. July 29.-The steam
ship Allegheny, OF the Hamburg-Amer-
lean line. which arrived here to-day,
reported that she was held up in the
harbor of saranilla Colombia, and Abel
Murrillo was seized by the Colombian
authorities and taken from the ship.
The fact that Murrillo claimed to be
entitled to the protection of the German
flag did not receive consideration by
the Colombian authorities. The steam
ship was forcibly detained for eighteen
hours.
According to signed statement made
Dy three of the Allegheny's passengers,
Murrillo left the United States about
four months ago on passport signed
by the Colombian minister in Washing
ton. On his arrival at Savanilla, he was
arrested and taken to Bogota, where he
was released on the. understanding that
he would sail on the first vessel for
the United State. This Murrillo did,
boarding the Allegheny at Savanilla.
He expressed fears that he would be ar
rested at Cartagena, and when the YES
SCI arrived at that port he refused to
go ashore when word was brought that
the governor wanted to see him. His
arrest followed. The statement made
by the passengers then says that Cap
tain Low, of the Allegheny protested
against the arrest, saying 1t was against
international law and at the same time
the captain told the mate to put the
German flag on he gangway so that the
Colombian officers would have to tread
on it if they took Murrillo The ar
rest did not take place at this time, and
the police withdrew on the captains
protest Later, however, the ships
clearance papers were refused, and the
statement was made that they would
not be furnished until Murrillo was
surrendered. A signed statement con-
corning the incident then says:
THE captain then went on land. and
after awhile returned with more police-
men, and we then thought that he was
going to give up the passenger in ex-
change for his papers.
The police went up to Murrillo and.
tearing from him that dirty rag as
they called the flag of Kaiser Will
helm, took the prisoner from the ship."
This statement is signed by Edward
J. White, British subject, Anne Van
Den Bogaerde, Belgian, and Charles
q. Pope, a citizen of the United States
