Noted Bandit Captured: "Arroyito" (Ramon Arroyo), one of the most notorious 

 and daring bandits the Island has even known, was captured in Regla, a small town 

 across the Bay from Havana, early in the morning of Friday, the 13th, just as he 

 was about to step aboard a steamer which was to carry him out of the country. The career 

 of "Arroyito" is very reminiscent of the famous Jesse James of many years ago. Since 

 dynamiting his way out of the Matanzas City jail some three months ago he has been 

 leading the rural guards and police of several smaller cities a merry chase which finally 

 resulted in his capture and detention in Havana.
