RATHBONE TO BE BAILED.
Delays Thrown in Path but Sympathy
Is With Rathbone.

Havana, April 1S.-At a late hour,
this afternoon, the Audiencia court ac-
cepted the bond of 100000 offered by
the Fidelity Co. for the appearance of
Estes G. Rathbone. The court requires,
however, that this bond be drawn be-
fore a notary. This involves much
time and expense. as the notary's fees
and a state tax must be paid.
Rathbone's attorneys insist that the
habeas corpus proceedings be contin-
ued and claim that the bond should be
drawn before the court, as is Gus
tomary. without further delay or fur
Their expenses.
In the habeaS corpus petition Rath-
bones attorneys declare the courts de-
lay to be Illegal and intimate that the
court may be impeached for such ac-
ton. The habeas corpus petition will
be heard. tomorrow.
A number of Cuban senators and
representatives select have sent tele-
gram to President elect Estrada Palma
at Gibara, petitioning him to ask the
United States to pardon all Americans
now under arrest in Cuba. Rathbone's
case seems to have stirred Cuban SEN
timent strongly in his favor, and the
movement to ask for a general pardon
is prompted by this sentiment.

THEl l. e N. DEAL.
Belmont Owned the Corn and Then a
Settlement Was Easx.

New York, April 1S.-The Evening
Post printed a statement, today, that
light had been thrown on the motive
which led to settlement of the I,ouis
Vile & Nashville situation. The Post
said:
The Gates pool appeared to have
secured majority of the SEQ no, OoO Of
Louisville stock, and if it saw fit it
could have squeezed the shorts" as the
operation is generally STYLED in Wall
street Mr. Gates walked into the
offices of j. +. Morgan & Co. and ex-
planned the situation, intimating that
the pool was ready to sell out TO the
bankers at a reasonable profit. The
bankers realized the seriousness If the
case and invited August Belmont.
chairman of the Louisville &. Nashville
board of directors, to attend a confer
ence. Mr. Gates was there and briefly
explained that ne and his friends had
bought the road. Mr.. Belmont did not
seem at all disturbed.
You have got control, there is no
doubt about that" Mr.. Belmont is said
to have remarked to Gates, land |
guess there is no doubt about some
body being badly cornered, from the
looks of things"
But am afraid there is a mistake
somewhere, Mr.. Belmont is alleged to
have continued.
Perhaps the gentleman does not
know whom he has caught short; / am
not short and never have been. That
$5o.0oo,6oo OF new stock was sold for the
company. You and your friends have
got control Of the company-you are
the company. The higher the price is
put up on the shorts the more it will
cost the COMPREHENSIVE that is"
After Mr.. Belmont's explanation of
the stock sale of new Louisville stock,
it is said that the chances of a settle
ment promptly improved.
