the authorities had a clear case against
him. having proof that he had brought
reasonable correspondence into the
island. Rappleye says that the only
reasonable correspondence he brought
in was this letter to Gomez and that
the only person in Cuba he told about
having such a letter was Williams
himself The inference Is that Williams
told the Spanish authorities. Now
while there are some newspaper cor
respondents. that would like to create
a disturbance for the sake Of acquiring

What About Our Consul at Havana7

The city editor of the New York
Mail and Express. who as correspon-
dent of that paper was banished from
Cuba by the Spanish captain general,
aas told his side of the story through
the columns of the Mail and Express.
# that story is worthy of the credence
usually placed in articles To which the
columns of the paper are open. Mr.,
Rappleye was banished because he was
send it out of the country despite the
espionage of detectives and censors.
He declares that he told nothing but
the truth; that he was careful to re-
port no barbarity unless he had the
proofs: that the most grewsome tales
which have come from that unhappy
country do not tell half about the in
iiscribable horrors. He says that in
his protest against the Punishment. he
declared that he had only written
what he knew to he true and that
when urged to express it as what he
believed to be true" he adhered to his
original statement He also declares
that the Spanish officers who have
been connected with the outrages and
been responsible for them nave been
promoted by Weyier. Generals that
have suffered defeat have also been
promoted. These latter statements
are easily believed by those at all ac-
luainted with the corruption ana ia
voritism ramifying throughout the
spanish service in Cuba. He says that
while the insurgents release the pris-
oners they capture the Spanish shoot
and garrote the Cuban prisoners. That
part of his charge, which in some as
poets is the most serious part of the
whole is that made against the Amer
lean consul general at Havana, Ramon
o. Williams.
He says that Williams not only did
not treat him as he should have done
and as he had agreed to do, but he
leaves the unavoidable inference that
the consul general connived with the
Spanish authorities to secure the ban
ishment Rappleye says he took along
a letter of introduction to Gen. Gomez,
but being in some doubt as to what to
do with it consulted with Williams,
telling him all about it. Williams said
