CUBAN TRADITION CASE.

ton nj la9ue.


ton ut Issue.
NEW ORLEANS August 22.-The case
Of William A. Cox, wanted for embezzle-
ment IN Cuba. and who is resisting the ef-
fort to return him. was to-day postponed
until August GOTH because the govern
ment is awaiting extremely important
papers from General Brooke, Governor
General Of Cuba.
Cox is an American and he prepared a
directory of Habana. He is charged with
having embezzled 81 800, and the case was
taken before one Of the courts Of Habana.
The New Orleans police were asked 10
arrest and hold him, which they did The
necessary papers for his extradition sign
ed by General Brooke, as Governor-Gene-
raj Of Cuba, were forwarded to Washing
ton.
Cox through his attorneys has resisted
all the efforts to send him back to cuba.
The objections raised by him are that
Cuba is an independent nation, under the
resolutions adopted by Congress, and the
terms Of our declaration OF war against
Spain; that It is not a part of the United
States. even il occupied by American
troops, and not bound by the laws Of the
United States; that We have no extradi-
ton treaty with Cuba, and that the mill
tary authorities now administering the
affairs of the island are not the civil gov
eminent.
IL will be seen that the trial calls upon
the United states to explain by what title
the island IS held, and what IS the exac.
status and authority Of the American mil
itary officers in command there. The
United States District Attorney has for
these reasons, interviewed IN the case, and
contends that under present conditions
a criminal captured in Cuba or the United
states can be returned to the place where
he committed the offence.
