THE OTEIZA CASE.
ExTRADITIoN OF THE CULPRIT FROM NEw'YoRK
HEAVY SENTENCE PASSED ON

HEAVY SENTENCE PASSED ON
HIM AT HAVANA.
The epogue Of the famous international case OF
Luis oteza Cores is fully related in the Spanish
American organ "Las Novedades,' Of New-iork, and
some extracts from that narrative may prove inter
estng. 1t will be remembered that in the summer
Of 1890 Don Luis Oeiza Cortes landed at New-York
from Cuba. Almost Immediately on his arrival the
Consul General of Spain presented request for the
extradition of oelza. The latter was secretary OF
the Board Of the Cuban Debt sitting at Havana, and
he pretended that he had received leave Of absence
He was passing through New-York on his way to
spain he said; but in reality he was going to soma
other country where he expected that all trace Of him
would be lost.
Soon after Otelzas departure from Havana de.alca
tons were discovered there in his accounts ard Captain
General Polavieja telcgaphed to have him arrested
These instructions could not easily be compiled wiH
because the proper official afdav1 could be received
only by mail Still sufficient facts presented by
the attorneys OF the Spanish ConsuateCeneial hero
10 Justify the sending Of oteza to Ludlow Street jail
Later on. his extraditicn was requested and was
finally granted though the funds which the dehulting
secretary was charged with having taken not
found in his possession. But the action OF the State
Department in allowing the extradition was well
advised as proved by the sentence recently passed
upon the eu!prit by the Royal Tribunal Of Havana
Other persons had been implicated with him In the
robbery of the Cuban funds but only one OF those
mon has been pronounced guilty
The sentence of the tribunal was in substance as
follows Heraud, Andrade, MeDdive and Autrau
were discharged. oteiza was sentenced to impdson-
and one day. and to pay e OF ~ 500 pesets about
So 500, tie charge lalvcrsation; TO- suspension
of employ ent for three years, four months and
day, for desertion Of his Office and finally, by reason
OF his civil responsibility as financial agent TO re-
stolen. The Havana Court declared also that Federico
Prado had not been directly OF indirectly participant
and his repeated absence had afforded other persons
the opportunity TO commit the deflcation he was
sentenced b pay fine equivalent to the amount OF
the funds stolen from the Treasury. The Tribunal
decided finally that no forgery had been committed
from that accusation.
