A Cuban Judge Wants TO Prosecute

Law.
Havana, April 1O.-Secretary of JUS
tice Lanuza will probably not comply
with the request of Judge 0rtiza of
the Guadeloupe district court, Havana
province, to prosecute Gen. Ludlow, the
military governor, for interfering TO
prevent Jolliffe and Barton, Ameri-
cans, being kept incommunicado as
provided by the Spanish law" Judge
0rtiza bases his request for the prose
cution upon the following paragraph
of the penal code. administrative or
military functionaries who shall
give orders to a judicial au-
thority relative to matters in
controversy whose decision is with
in the exclusive competency of courts
of justice, shall incur the penalties of
suspension and of fines ranging from
625 to $3.50 pesetas."
If the matter is brought to an issue
the question will be whether an Ameri-
can official has right to issue an order
contravening Spanish law unless sup
ported by decree of the governor gen
ernl. Judge 0rtiza insists that the
incommunicado law is in full force, like
all other Spanish laws which Gen.
Brooke's proclamation of January af-
firmed were TO be unchanged. Gen.
Ludlow intervened in the case of Jol-
life and Barton because the Spanish
officials refused to allow the attorneys
and friends of the prisoners 10 have
access to them. 1t was this condition
of things that prompted his written in
structlon TO Judge FOrtiza not to apply
