BENEFITS FOR CUBA.
Legal and Other Reforms Are Gladly
Received by the Natives.


Received by the Natives.
Havana, May 4. - The legal reforms
planned by the military government are
gradually finding their way into the
official gazette. The decree issued
abolishes those features of the criminal
code which clash more harshly with
Anglo-Saxon ideas of personal security.
Judges are forbidden hereafter to
deny to prisoners the right of commune
cation with the outside world or to
shield accusers from publicity. Habeas
corpus is also granted to any prisoner
who thinks himself unlawfully de-
tanned in custody. The examination of
witnesses in criminal cases will be
broadened, but the judgment will be
left, as before, exclusively in the hands
of the court. ---r
Reforms Are Welcomed,
These reforms are applauded by all
elements. A decree is also,in prepara-
ton which will make the civil cere-
mony the legal proof of marriage and
leave optional the further celebration
