CLAIMED CITIZENSHIP
TO ESCAPE PRISON
Man Who TTofited by Spanish Amnesty
Decree Also Made Use of Late
Cuban Document.

HAVANA, June 17.-Considerable stir
has been caused by a trick played by a
man named Peralta, who was accused,
with four others. OF being implicated in
the robbery IF the Spanish Banl. and
Upman & Co. last fall. when the thieves
got away with s162 GOO.
The trial of the accused man had Just
begun when the amnesty decree was
published. Peralta at once claimed that
he was an American citizen. which
brought him under the operation of
the decree, and he and his companions
were released. II now appears that Per-
alta renounced his American citizenship
in 1885 in order to profit by the am
and that after returning to Cuba, he
joined the Spanish forces. His papers
were not examined by the secretary of
government. the fiscal accepting his
s'"crn statements that his papers were
right.
A representative of the audiencia went
erday to Mr.. Squiers. the American
minister. and asked If Peralta could
am American citizenship. II he could
uoj do so the court would order his re-
arrest. Mr. Squiers said that he could
not give an answer until Psralta ap-
ned TO him. whereupon the court Or
iered the rearrest Of all five of the ac-
used.
10 is thought. however, that Peralta
has made good his escape.
