ANOTHER CUBAN ROMANCE.
Young Woman Secures a Pardon FOR
Her Husband From Governor
Wood.

NEW YORK. Feb. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Emilio Cashua, who was a rough
rider. has been released from jail by
Governor Wood. He was serving a
three years sentence for having killed
Lieutenant Martiniz, Of the Cuban ar
my last March,
cashua was at the time lieutenant of
police and the shooting occurred in the
progress Of fight in the lnglaterra
hotel over the distribution OF $4,000
to the Cuban veterans.
Cashua was born in Italy but is an
American citizen. Feeling ran high
against him among Cubans, who
threatened lynehing.
A wealthy Cuban girl. Miss Castillo,
became infatuated with Cashua and
married him in Jail about mOath af-
ter his Imprisonment She had given
away fortune to the revolutionists
during the war and after the marriage
appealed to General Gomez TO use his
influence for her husband.
Gomez refused because Cashua is an
American citizen. Since then she has
spent another fortune striving to gain
her husbands release, she pleaded
with Governor General Wood. Govern
or Roosevelt. President Mckinley and
the military authorities here. Nothing
daunted her To gain her purpose she
offered jailers large bribes until orders
were issued denying her entrance TO
the prison.
she disclosed to the military authori-
ties last summer a plot Of Cubans to
blow up the Tacon Theater and an
other municiapl building in Santa
Clara on the night of the Attn Of July.
The information caused alarm in mill
tary circles and for her conduct her
husbands pardon was promised if the
conspirators were arrested.
Havana was put under military
guard that night and a regiment of
soldiers watched the buildings at Santa
Clara. An attempt was made at both
places, exactly according to the de-
tails furnished by Mrs. Cushua. Three
men were caught in the act OF placing
packages of dynamite under the Tacon
Theater
Since Governor General Woods ar
rival he has taken an interest in the
case and considering Cashua's heroism
at Santiago he granted the pardon.
Cashua left Havana secretly alter his
release and will probably go to the
United States with his wife immedi-
ately as he fears death at the hands
of the Cubans.

Washington, May 13,-An order will be issued tomorrow relieving from duty D. G. Rathbone, director-general of posts in Cuba, under whose admins tration the frauds recently disclosed have occurred. He is held responsible for extravagance in the department and for the loose business methods in the conduct of postal affairs on the island. resulting in an embezzlement of funds estimated at $100000. He is not charged with or suspected of any complicity in these frauds, but the postmaster-gen- eral and secretary of war are convinced that his unftness for the highly respon- sible position has been clearly estab- lished. The order relieving him may take the form of suspension, but 1t is the understanding that he will have no further connection with the Cuban gov ernment. A reorganization will follow upon q new basis that, it Is believed. will preclude the possibility of similar frauds in the future.

WIVES NOMINATION..
Ex-Gov. Stone Says It Compitcates tho
 Situation,


 St. Louis May 13.-Ex- Governor w. J. Stone, vice chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, while dis cussing the advisability of MT Towne withdrawing from the race for vice president on the populist ticket said: 1T think the populist convention made a mistake in making a candidate for vice president. Instead of simplifying it complicates the situation. However, am glad Mir Towne is the nominee for the reason that I regard him as a big man and I know him to be fair and patriotic I am satisfied he will do whatever may be thought for the best, having but one end in view, and that the success of the ticket to be nominat- ed at Kansas City If the opinion of the Kansas City convention should be that it would be unwise to nominate him I am confident he would accept that verdict accordingly. I have a high opinion of MT Towne in every way, but at this time I do not care to express an opinion as to what the Kansas City convention should do with reference to nominating a candidate for vice pres- dent. That is something which ought to be thought out carefully and delib- erately after a full comparison of the views of leading men from different sec- tions of the country"
