ANOTHER AMERICAN CITIZEN RE
LEASED.

More American prisoners have already
been released by the Spaniards in Cuba
since the advent Of the present admins
tration than during the whole of Mr..
Cleveland's term, and the fact that Gen
eral Lee was largely instrumental in
bringing about this change of policy on
the part of Spain proves that he has al
ways been ready to do his duty, but was
held I'm restraint by the Democratic Press
ident and his Secretary of State.
Advices from Havana are to the effect
that another American citizen, who has
been held under arrest in Cuba, has been
released. His name is Francis Cazanzas
and he was arrested at Sagua on the 18th
of February last The arrest was de-
nounced by Consul General Lee ut the
time rs gseat outrage, whereupon the
State Department began Mt once To move
in behalf of the man, with the result that
he was set at liberty Sunday. Cazanzas
