Jiminez, the leader of the revoluI tionary expedition which recently landed J In Monte Cristi, San Domingo, was arEj rested by the British authorities for a violation of the navigation laws In flying a Clyde line flag. The Fanita, the vessel ; in which the expedition sailed, was sold. . by the Clyde line company six mouths before. Chris Roberts, the pilot of the expedition, made a complaint mi the foregoing grounds. The American consul also , -prosecuted Jiminez, alleging that the ex- | pedition was illegal, inasmuch as the Fall nita’s papers were ostensibly for service | in Cuban waters. The Fanita has arrivI ed at Kej’ West, where her captain refusI ed to make any statement regarding the s trip. When Moirte Cristi was reached [and anchor cast the captain was surprised I to see Gen. Jiminez come on deck in unift form and fully armed, followed by Gen. Morrillo and two officers, similarly equipK ped. They ordered rifles and ammunition to be put aboard the long boat that was K to row them ashore, and then command- ■ ed their ten alleged laborers to take their II seats in the boat. No sooner had they a. reached the wharf where Gen. Jiminez ■ and his party lauded than a volley of musjjft ketry was hoard and three of the party fell wounded. The first to fall was Gen, ® Morrillo. Troops were seen advancing ■ la large numbers and the sailors in the. ■ Fauita's boat were seized with terror and ■ whoved off from the wharf amid a rain of ■ bullets. Gen. Jiminez jumped into the ■ txiat just in time and, seeing an oar, joined ■ the crew in pulling for the steamer, which ■promptly pulled out.
