New York, April 2.-The
Havana correspondent Of the
Mail and Express sends the
following:
"On authority which l be
lieve to be trustworthy, it has
been learned that certain Span
ish officials here are in posses
sion of the key to the cipher
code used in Geographic com
munication between the consul
general and the state depart
msnt at Washington. If this be
true, the nature Of all confiden-
tial dispatches that pass be-
tween the government Of the
United States and its represen-
tative In Cuba ie known not
only in Havana but in Madrid,
for the home government is
kept closely in touch with the
most minute details OF Cuban
affairs. The code used in the
consular service is complicated.
and is believed to be absolutely
secret. 1t could not, it ~ said,
be studied out even if part of it
were known. So if the Span
iards have the key they have
probably obtained it from some
one in Washington.

by wire from Havana to any
point that does not come under
the eye of the censor, except
ing of course, official dispatches

cables are subjected to scrutiny,
and while it is not admitted,
all of General Lees messages
are known about the palace at
ter they are sent. The story is
not vouched for, but the re-
spectability of its author is
such as TO warrant its publica-
ton. The charge is an extIeue-
ly serious one.
"Rumors that DR.. Zertucha,
who was charged with the be-
trayal of Maceo, is dead, are
without fundation. He is still
ia Havana, but is in hiding. The
fact that he has never been ar
rested by the Spanish author

insurgent and is under Spanish
protection, corroborates the as
sertion made months ago that
that he was a spy employed for
the purpose of entrapping the
