American Engineer, whose impfisonmentin in
Cuba has been the subject of so much
comment, has been released. He WasinS s
prisoned in September last, for being en-.
gineer of train which ran :of the track. s
The Matanzas Courts piled up fines, COSTS
and charges upon him at SO. round q rate :,
that he abandoned all idea of ever REGAIN
ing liberty. An appeal was taken e, the Z,
Superior Court at Havana, where the sem
tence below was mitigated, so far as to- J.
order the discharge of the prisoner us soon

had been paid, bu, the fines, for lack of
means, had not, when Q, sudden mandate s
arrived from Government, commanding the
immediate release of the prisoner. SIS
