Reutor. MONTREAL, June 7. A protest against the arrest of the Spanish Consul, Senor Miguel Maluquer, at his office on a charge of conspiracy to defraud ithe Canadian customs by smuggling alcohol into Canada, has been made to Judge Cusson by the Norwegian Consul. Other Consuls have taken up the matter with their Home Governments. The question at issue is whether a duly accredited Consul in .a foreign land can be arrested by the police in the sanctity of his domicile. Senor Maluquer is in gaol, having failed to raise the 5000 dollars bail fixed for his release pending his trial.
