leader of IA sea-buf1eted fugitives
from Great 1nagua Island related
today how they escaped the terror
Of native uprising only to run the
risk of death by hunger and thirst

by rural Cuban police of being revo-
lutionists themselves because of the
arms they brought to land with them
In disabled motor launch.
The IA were ordered to trial today
at Santiago on charges of unlawful
possession of war materials.
All were said to be United States
citizens. Their leader, DR.. Dudley
Arthur, was described as an official
Of the British Bahamas government.
They reached Cuba yesterday after
five terrifying days at sea without
food or water.
The group carried small arsenal,
police said, including two tear gas
guns and liquid for charging them,
several rifles. shotguns and pistols
and 500 cartridges
DR.. Arthur, physician and head
OF the group, told a reporter they had
fled the island after he ordered the
arrest of native accused OF mis-
treating q child.
Natives blamed Joseph and Douglas
Erickson, also among the fugitives, for
the arrest order, DR.. Arthur said, and
went to their home to kill them
They did kill an Erickson employe,
he related, and then started rioting
over the island to wipe out all
yankees.
