this case will soon be accepted As
soon as this Is accomplished the neces-
sary legal formalities will be quickly
complied with and the prisoner
granted his freedom.
The fact that the President of the
court has consulted with Governor
Wood respecting the matter without
being able to make a decision in favor
of accepting the bail has caused con-
siderable comment here. 1t was learn
ed at the War Department today that
the testimony given by Reeves upon
which Rathbone and Nicely were con-
victed has not yet reached there. As
soon as 1t arrives 1t will be legally re-
viewed for the purpose OF ascertaing
its force and weight from a legal view
point, friends OF Major Rathbone hav-
ing serious doubts about Its being OF a
character to ,,stfy the action taken in
his case. As soon as the papers in the
case are receivea the President viii
order their review by the legal au-
thorities In Washington pending the
action OF the case In the higher courts.
II seems to be well understood here
that Secretary Root will arrange the
release of Rathbone, before he returns
to this country.
II is also well understood that Rath-
bone will never return to Cuba, but
that Hanna will run the chaace o.
