GLAD TO BE BACK
CANADIANS WHO FOUGHT FOR LOYALISTS. HINTS OF TREACHERY. Received Feb. 5, 6.30 p.m. HALIFAX, Feb. 3. Almost penniless, ill-clothed and wholly glad to be back, 300 Canadians who fought with the loyalists, many being wounded, arrived from Spain today. A number hinted at treachery in the loyalist retreat from Barcelona, where the Canadians, who were awaiting repatriation, barely escaped being trapped and taken prisoner. They fled from Barcelona during the night with whatever clothing could be grabbed.
