Especial TO The Post. \

Washington. July 1T,-Though seven
months have passed since the signature OF
the treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain containing this provision.
Spain has taken no action. so far as the
authorities have been advised, looking to
the release Of the Cubans and Fiipinos
imprisoned at Fernando 20 and at other
Spanish penal prisons. Minister Storer. at
Madrid. has been instructed by Secretary
Hay, at the instance of Senior Quesada. the
representative of Cuba in Washington, TO
call the attention OF the Spanish govern
meut to the following provision OF that
treaty:
Spain WILL upon the signature OF the
present treaty. release all prisoners of
war and all persons detained or i'm
prisoned for political oifenses in con-
necton with the insurrection in Cuba
and the Philippines and the war with
the United States.
He is instructed to at once request that
the Cubans and Filipinos still in conflne-
ment be granted their liberty without
further delay. Senior Quesada told me
yesterday that he thinks there are about
twenty Cubans in Spanish prisons.
The number of Flipinos held by Spain
is not known. In some circles here there
is disposition to believe that Spains de-
lay in liberating the prisoners she holds
is due to the delay OF the United States
to secure the release of Spaniards held by
the Filipinos, Immediately upon the Sig
nature OF the treaty Of peace the spies
held by this government were released,
and since, In accordance With the terms OF
the treaty, this government has under
taken t, lure the release Of all Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the insurgents
in Cuba and the Philippines" Under in
structions which, at the resquest of the
Due d'Arcos, were recently repeated, Cen
eral Otis has been cooperating with the
Spanish commissioners at Manila to Sc
cure the reslase Of the Spanish subjects
and soldiers in the possession of the Fill
pinos, and the fact that he has made no
report as to the progress of the negotia
tions leads the authorities 10 believe that
success has not yet crowned them.

DEMAND ON NICARAGUA.
Money Taken from Americans Must

Especial to The Post.)

Especial to The Post.)
Washington. July 17.--secretary Hay is
expected to send instructions this week
10 Minister Merry, under which that OFF,
clal will make representations to the Mic
arsguan government which are expected
to close up the recent Bluefelds incident.
This government will demand that the
money in the possession Of the British
consul at Bluefields be returned to the
American merchants. who were compelled
by force to pay double duties on goods
imported into that port. Since the orig
inal demand OF tine Nicaraguan govern
ment for the money nothing has been heard
from Managua respecting the matter, and
it is presumed here that President Ze-
laya has been waiting for the United
States to take action. Secretary Hay has
consulted with Consul Sorsby, who has
been in Washington on leave of absence,
and Is convinced that the Americans have
been unjustly treated. Tho department
has made a very careful investigation, and
the Nicaraguan government Will be in
formed that II has no right TO the money
Beyond demanding that the funds be re-
turned to the American merchants and
seeing that its demand is complied with.
the state department will take no further
action, as President Zeaya recently re-
moved General Torres, the official who
was responsible for the levying OF double
duties.

Colonel Sehwarzkoppen, being At that time
In Berlin, never saw the bordereau, which
was forged In order to- supply material
proof OF the guilt of Dreyfus.
The statement contains the assertion that
secret agents in Berlin whose testimony 1t
was impossible to use had demonstrated
that leakages had occurred In the war Of
Ace and the fact that treason existed was
unbeatable and everything indicated Drey-
tus as the traitor.
All the war ministers, the statement
further says, knew the facts and thought
the forgery OF the bordereau necessary.
The evidence implicadns Dreyfds were

dereau was forged and that Dreyfus was
