TORE THE GERMAN
FLAG FROM HIS BOD1'
Murrillo Half Wrapped It's Folds
Around Him. 1t Had no Power
to Save.
lBv the Associated Press.l

New York. July 29.-The Hamburg AM
erican Line steamship Allegheny reports
that she was held in the harbor of Car
tagena, Colombia, for IA hours. Passen-
gers on the Allegheny report that Abel
Murrillo was arrested on the ship at Car
tagena and taken ashore by the Colombian
authorities Murllo protested against
his arrest, claiming that he was entitled
to the protection of the German flag.
When the vessel arrived at Cartagena
she was ordered detained by the authorl-
ties there. The captain protested that ne
was sailing under the German flag and
that no official of Colombia had right
to stop the vessel for any purpose what
ever. This protest was unheeded, how
ever, and search was made for Murillo
who was found on deck. He declared he
would not be arrested, and running to
one of the ships masts he seized the
German flag which was found lying there
and wrapped it about him. Then he
cried out, Il am under the protection Of
the German flag and you have no right to
arrest me-
According to the passengers on the Al
legheny the Colombian officers, notwith-
standing the protest, seized the man and
dragged him to the vessel.
According to a signed statement made
by three of the Allegheny's passengers,
Murillo left the United States about four
months ago on a passport signed by the
Colombian Minister in Washington. On
his arrival at Savanville he was arrested
and taken to Bogota where he~was re-
leased on the understanding that heNSould

did. boarded the Allegheny at Savaila.
He expressed fear that he would be ar
rested At Cartagena and when the steam
er reached there he refusd to go ashore
when word was brought that the governor
wanted to see him. His arrest followed.
The statement made by the passengers
then say that Captain Lowe of the Al
legheny protested against the arrest,
saying it was against international law
and at the same time the captain told
the mate to put the German flag on the
gangway so that the Colombian officers
would have to tread on it if they took
the MuriIlo. The arrest did not take
place at this time and the police with
drew However the ships clearance pa
pcrs were refused and the statement was
made that they would not be furnished
until Murillo was surrendered. A sign
cd statement concerning the incident then
saws:
THE captain then went on land, and
after a while returned with more police
men and when they thought that he was
going to give up the passenger in eX-
change for his papers.
The police went up to Murillo and
tearing from him that dirty rag" as they
called the flag of the Kaiser Wilhelm
took the prisoner from the ship"
