AN ORDER BY CAMPOS
ALL TREES AND HUTs ALONG RAIL
WAY TRACKS TO DE REMOVED.
Effort to Tut n Stop to Bomb Throw
ing mt Trains by Cuban Insur-
gents-Pardons for Rebels.

OF railroad is causing the authorities grave
uneasiness, and it has been considered
necessary ito employ some special measures
to suppress the practice. 1t will be recalled
that on several occasions dynamite bombs
have been hurled at railroad trains con-
tanning passengers and details of troops,
and dynamite has also been found placed
upon the tracks. Considerable damage has
been done In this manner and fears are felt
that greater harm may come from the
practice. With a view to checking it and
of preventing further attempts Captain
General Martinez de Campos has published
an order that all trees and bushes shall be
cut down and all huts shall be removed
within a distance OF two hundred yards of
the railroad track on both Sides 1t is
further ordered that no one shall be al
lowed to approach the trains. Violators OF
these orders are to be summarily court
martialed. 81
Captain General De Campos also publishes
an order which proclaims that he will con-
tinue his practice of pardoning all the
rebels who lay down their arms and sur
render themselves to the authorities, ex-
cept the chiefs. These latter are TO be
subject to the decision of the Captain Gem
eral who will investigate to ascertain
whether any Of them have been guilty Of
outrage in the conduct Of the insurrection.
AS a further warning against the use OF
dynamite severe Spanish laws enacted In
Spain in 1894 as a result Of the attempt Of
the Anarchist Liceo at Barcelona are to be
published here. General De Campos and
Brighter General Gonzales Munoz have ar
