   PORT-AU-PRINCE, May 10 (AP) -- Police have arrested an American man on
charges of importing arms to Haiti illegally, a government spokesman said
Saturday.
   James White Glenn was arrested Friday in the coastal city of Gonaives,
60 miles northwest of Port-au-Prince, in possession of army uniforms,
assault weapons, munitions, and grenade launchers, spokesman Mario Dupuy
said.
   The U.S. Embassy said it was looking into the arrest but was not
immediately able to confirm it. More details about Glenn and where he was
from were not available.
   Glenn "had imported the material under cover of the Protestant mission
he works for," Dupuy said, although he could not name the mission or
Glenn's occupation.
   The material was seized, and Glenn was taken Saturday to the national
prison in the capital, Port-au-Prince, Dupuy said.
