 Following the arrest of a number of seamen and petit officers of the 1sla de Luzon last night by members of the po- | lice force, 1t develops that one of the prisoners J. J. OBrien, was the cause of the riders for the arrest.
 O'Brien, while the Isla de Luzon was at Singapore, struck a Lieutenant and was placed under arrest in double irons pend- ing trial by court martial. He had been in irons six months and as the case was to be tried three months hence. 1t Is more than likely he will. now that he has been captured, be held in confinement during that period heavily ironed and closely guarded
 His escape, 1t was learned, was pre- arranged affair. well planned and equally well carried out
 OBrien was allowed a few moments exercise Tuesday night. He was accom- panied by detail of guards. his leg irons having been removed. At one portion of the ship two seamen began a racket. The detail leaving OBrien for few moments rushed to see what was up. O'Brien, | walking to the guard rail, jumped ashore. Having been provided with money he made his way to a certain resort, got rid of his hand irons. secured other cloth ing and was preparing to leave when. ow- ing to the order issued, he was appre- l hended. It was at first claimed OBrien l jumped overheard and swam the length of the vessel. but this was incorrect. When O'Brien's escape became known aboardship communication was made with | the police authorities. At the same time the names of six men with descriptions were sent to police headquarters, re- wards of $10 being offered for each. One of these was the chief sergeant at arms, who wears four stripes on his arm in- dicating sixteen years service in the navy. He is a German named Koehler. l When taken to the police station he wept bitterly, saying it was the first time in hs career that he had been placed under arrest. While away from the vessel at the time of OBrien's escape, he is never | theless responsible for it, and with his second, will be court martialed. Another sailor who was captured on this order had left the vessel without permit and he will be placed in irons three months. be- sides having to paw the reward money out of his next wages.
 Some of the seamen who were arrested
 spoke we'll of the commanding officer
 and said they had no excuses to offer fol having overstad their permits on shore
 but felt that the penalty was too great
 for the offense. With the exception ot | Koeher, the seamen took their arres
 without complaint. though all had a
 marked dread for the galleys the iron.
 and bread and water diet The mer
 were turned over to Commander Colwel on board the Isla de Luzon at o'clocl
 this morning and the arresting policemen
 were paid the rewards offered by the gov
 ernment.
