Ho In an Omcinl letter 70 Lee,
That y state or War EXists-
WASHINGTON, July 27.-The correspondence
in the case of Alfredo Hernandez Hugnet, an
American citizen, who was arrested at Havana
on Sept. 6 last, which was called for by q Senate
resolution, was made public to-day. From q
letter addressed to Captain-General Weyler on
Sept. 8 by Consul-General Lee, 1t Is shown that
Hugnet. who WAS a lawyer practising In
Havana. was arrested by the Spanish po-
lice under circumstances which Gen. Lee
pronounces peculiar" 1t was shown by tho
testimony of Hugnct's family that the police
after a search lasting five hours, but revealing
nothing incriminating. placed a proclamation
issued by the insurgents among a pile OF news-
papers in Hugnet's pocket. and upon that evil
dence took him Into custody. Gen. Leo pro-
tested against the arrest, and asked for an In
vestigation of the circumstances. He received
no reply, and on Sept. Is sent a second note TO
the Captain General. telling him that Hugnet
had been combined in~communtcddo for ZIG
hours, in violation OF the Spanish Constitution
and tho law of criminal procedure. Gen. Leo
ended tho note with a second protest, moro en-
phatic than the first.
II any doubt existed that q state of war pre-
vailed in Cuba 1t was disposed Of by the official
utterance OF Gen. Weyler in his reply to Gen
Lee on Sept. 10.
Tho country being in a state Of war. and
therefore all constitutional guarantees sus-
pended, he said, there has boon no violation
Of the precepts of the Spanish Fundamental
code nor OF tho law of criminal procedure in
proceeding to make the arrest and In the pro-
longed accommodation OF Hugnct-"
Investigation had shown. Weyler contended,
that Hugnct was In tho Junta In Havana and
was n delegate of the New York Junta. For
these reasons the Government had decided to
expel him from the island forthwith. Hugnet
was expelled. and last month he filed b claim In
tho State Department against Spain for $4,000
for false Imprisonment and loss of practice and
damage to his estate. His naturalization In
New York & in 1875 and his register at tho Amor
can Consulate at Havana as an American were
set forth. He made oath that the cell In which
he was confined was small. dark. wet, and filthy,
the stencil being almost unbearable.
Gen. Lee had requested an extension Of time
to allow Hugnet to arrange his affairs before his
EXPULSION, but Gen. Weyler refused to modify
his order that Hugnet should take the nrst
steamer. The correspondence concludes with
an acknowledgment by the state Department
Of the receipt Of the claim

Ing Increased and Centinueus business.
OMAHA, Neb., July 27.-In tho forty-eight
hours ending this morning the Burlington road
hauled S13 cars of grain through this city bound
east, and other roads 1,6oo cars. This grain
movement, together with tho immense amount
Of coal that is being called for from Western
miners, threatens a box-car famine.
All tho shops on the entire Burlington system
began this morning to work full time. ten hours,
which indicates that the road expects an In
crease in business and one that will continue.
Other roads in the West have also started their
shops full time for the same reason.
A week ago the new wheat started to market
from Nebraska. and since hat time It has been
pouring in from q thousand wheat fields and
has blocked other kinds Of trafic in largo meas
uro. Tho rush TO market would be worse, but
thrashers are not to be had. What makes tho
situation worse Ia that some OF last years crop
of corn 10 just beginning to move, 1t having boon
held until the present 10 that the farmers might
DO certain of having plenty Of corn this year.
Since this has been assured the farmers have be-
gun to release that part Of the old crop held
over, and estimates at 200. 900 bushels.
The demand for grain cars exceeds all tho
hopes Of tho railroad mon. All foreign cars In
the State have been seized by the Nebraska line
to DO utilized for tho grain carrying trade, In
many cases in direct violation Of contracts with
other lines. They think the urgency Of tho 90
casion ~justifes the proceeding.
Then the coal carrying capacity ofthe Western
roads is being taxed to the utmost. Coal can DO
