a statement that if the men struck
without trying arbitration the general
union would not support them in the
issue.

GENERAL BRAGG
STIRS UP WRATH
Venomous Attack Upon the Con-
sui General at Havana.
ScARES CAPITALISTS AWAY
THREATS MADE THAT SOME
THING WILL HAPPEN TO HIM.
Especial to The HeraId.)


WAsHINGToN, Aug. 26--Interest
VI has again been aroused in the
case of Consul General Bragg at
Havana. Late advices state that the
Havana Post, the only American news
paper printed in Cuba, recently printed
a lengthy article making a venomous
attack on General Bragg, charging
that instead of attending to his duties
he is devoting a large part of his time
to running down Cuba and the Cubans
and trying to influence capitalists from
the states not to invest their money In
the island This attack appeared at a
time when the Cuban public had ceased
TO refer to the Bragg incident. and had
apparently forgotten the unpleasant
affair.
The Post asserts that capitalists who
came to Havana recently from the
United States to invest in Cuban prop
critics consulted General Bragg, only to
be discouraged by his gloomy views
of the island and its people, These in
vestors asked for data as TO the lands,
land titles, crops and material re-
sources of the islands, it is asserted,
and were advised by General Bragg to
waste no time in getting out of the
island and to take their money with
them; not invest it there. Two in
stances are then cited of capitalists
who were thus scared away from Cuba
by what ii terms the absurd state
ments of the consul
General Bragg is accused of predict
ing an early revolution, and with
dwelling upon the insecurity of life
and all vested interests in such an
event. The article closes by saying,
IAN exposure that may mean some
thing is threatened unless the consul
general changes his ways"

FRENCH TREATY ATTACKED.
Case Grows Out of the Imprisonment

San Francisco. Aug. 2e.-The United
States courts have been called upon 10

tain provisions of the treaty between
this country and France. proclaimed
on Aug. u, 1883. The issue has arisen
out of the Imprisonment of Francois
Leberne a French sailor, by Chief of
Police Whitman, in compliance with
the request of French Consul General
Henry Dallemagne, who invoked as
authority a clause of the treaty named,
which confers exclusive jurisdiction
over affairs on French merchant yes
sells on French consular officers. Ex-
Governor James H. Budd, at the re-
quest of the Sailors union, applied for
a writ of habeas corpus for Leberne on
the main issue that the treaty under
which he has been arrested and is now
confined is contrary TO the constitution
of the United States The writ was
granted and made returnable tomor-
row morning.
