the jail he had nothing to do but gather
up the bundles he had made ready in ad-

left his cell. AS he was going the news
of his acquittal spread through the iail
and the prisoners set up a mighty yell.
Inc baron had made himself popular in
the Jail, and cheer after cheer rang
through the gloomy corridors In token of
approval of the verdict. The baron was
flushed as if it We're an unexpected fiat

realizes that certain amount of dis
trust is felt regarding the church In
Cuba, and he may suggest to Rome some
plan to "Cubanize" the church, gradually

element less authority.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-In consid-

authorities have consulted Gonzales
