PRISONERS IN CUBA.
BRITONS AND AMERICANS. NEW YORK, Sept. 23. The Havana correspondent of the New York Times states that the destroyer Hamilton is en route to Cayo Mambi, on the north coast of Cuba, to protect ten American and six British subjects, who are held prisoner by workers who have seized an Americanowned sugar mill. The workers struck for higher wages, and, when they were refused, they resorted to violence. American officials who are negotiating for the removal of women and children said they would not land sailors unless it was absolutely necessary. The British prisoners are from Jamaica.
