MADRID , Feb. 28. ( New York World (
hlegram Special Telegram. ) The Span
government has notified the European po
era and the American republics that It 1
instructed the authorities in Cuba to ex
from the Island hereafter all foreign re
dents suspected or accused of aiding
abetting separatism. This course la adop
to avoid claims and dllllcultles with otl
governments.
Some French , English and Costa Rica (
Izons , whoso cases have been strongly pual
by their governments , have been llbera
nnd expelled already. Others who are m
compromised , like the American restder
will be tried In duo course.
The TIempo reports that frlenda of
government think It possible that the lea
of the Cuban autonomists , the marqnls
Montoro , will bo made minister of the (
onlcs , nnd Marshal Campos will supers' '
General Weyler as soon as Spain lakes
olher step toward establishing homo r
lu the West -Indies.

He was very much agitated as he express
his reeling toward Consul General L >
Aakcd how he wag treated during his cc

polled to recall his experience during t

"Why , " said ho , "I have not been allow-
to read one solitary newspaper except the
published on the Island. When I heard
the death of brave General Maceo , It almt
made me collapse , not because I thoup
the death of any ono man would check t
progress ot the Cuban cause , but because
knew then that the butcher Weyler woi
not be recalled , as Spain would try to pac !
the people by polnllng ta Macco'a death aa
victory for the government. "
Speaking of his plans for the future , Gc
cral Sangullly said : "I do not know tlu
myself , but I am going to Washington to i
tend the Inaugural parade , having been I
vlled by the old veteran boys to parade vl
them. I have been given a place ot honor
ths parade- . After that I shall go to N <
York to see my brother , who has worked
faithfully for my release , and then , I Eh
keep my promise to the people of Key W <
to return and pay them a visit. "

Senor Morote , correspondent of El L

he had been a prisoner of Maximo Gomi
and that while In the camp of the Insurgt
leader he was treated with marked coi
tesy. Ho learned that the reforms pi
posed by Spain would never be accepted

Independence of the Island would brl
about a cessation of hostilities. Scnor J
rote said his study of the Cuban cause h
convinced him that it was a Just one. 1 ;
ferrin'g to General Weyler , In ? said : "A
have a general there who Is causing d ;
astatlon and mill to the whole inland si

With Senor Ui-lnas , Senor Morote ga
thrco ringing cheers for Cuba llbre.
A deputation met General Sangullly at t

by the crowd the moment the stearc

LINCOLN , Fob. 2S. ( Special ! ) ConsMcra-
bio mystery surrounds tbc release of cx-
TrcAourcr IJnrtlcy , who was yesterday after-
noou placed .under arrest on tlio charge ot
embezzlement of state funds. Mr. Hartley la
master of his own actions until Thursday
afternoon and Is walking the streets of the
capital today under no restraint other than
that Imposed by a bond approved at midnight
last night by County Judge Cochran In the
private ofllce of J. H. Ames , one of the at
torneys for the cx-ofllchil. Thu signatures
to that bond are unknown to the public. The
combined efforts of the representatives of the
leading newspapers of the state to secure the
mimes on the lioml were unavailing , although
the effort to learn the fuels was not relaxed
until 2 o'clock this morning.
No one In Lincoln , however , believes that
there Is any danger of ox-Treasurer Hartley
falling to put In au appearance at the ap
pointed time'next Thursday. Judge Cochran ,
Sheriff Trompen and the present state ofll-
L-ials are nil serenely confident that all con-
dltlona of the law have been compiled with
and that there Is nothing In the situation to
warrant any uneasiness. At the aama tlmo
the mystery thrown nbout the men who are
supposed to bo upon the appearance bond of
the ex-treasurer Is severely commented upon
by the people of Lincoln today. The conceal
ment Is the result of iho advlco of the at
torneys representing Mr. Hartley. It Is only
fair to sny that after the details of the bond
were arranged Mr. Hartley and ono of , bin at
torneys , W. S. Summon , were willing and
anxlouii to give the names attached to the
bond , but were deterred by the advlco of the
leading attorncjil In the case.
QUEER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The history of yesterday's events In con
nection wllh the affair forms an Interesting
part ot the record In the case. Attorney
General Smyth visited the olllce ot County
Attorney Munger shortly after 11 o'clock yes
terday forenoon. At noon the warrant for
Mr. Hartley's arrest was formally Issued and
ploccU.vin.tho.hands of Sheriff Trompen , who
delegated J. S. Hoaglaud , Ills deputy , to
notify Hartley that hls.-nrajenco was wanted
at the , court house. Mr. Hoagland niet Hart
ley on the street at 2 o'clock and notified him
ot what had taken place and practically
served the warrant , although Iho proceedings
wore of a perfunctory nature. No formal ar
rest on the street was made. Mr. Hartley
simply Informed the deputy Khorift that ho
would bo at the court house at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Hartley ut once went to the office ol
Ills attorneys , Messrs. Amen & Potties , and at
3 o'clock the thrco proceeded to the court
house. Upon entering the olllce ot the
county Judge Mr. Hartley at once passed
thr/jugh the.court room to the private otllce ,
drew up a chair , placed his feet on the win
dow sill and gazed mooillly Into the stiects.
occupied only with hiii own thoughts for
that wun-occupied with
more than an hour ,
the discussions of his attorneys. At the
legal conference It WHS practically agreed
that formal proceeding ! ) should be postponed
until nrxt Thursday. This would leave the
matter Just where It stood , and Mr. Hartley
would not have been considered under ar
rest. Finally , shorlly after D o'clock , Mr.
Hartley and his attorneys left the court houno
and returned to the otllce of the latter. Just
before C o'clock Mr. Hartley was notlllcd by
telephone that the capo would not be held In
iboyunce until Thursday , but that a bond for
his appearance must bo filed at once. The
notification camu as a surprise to the ex-
treasurer nnd his attorneys , as they had been
led to bellovo that they would have all day
Monday to arrange the appearance bond.
Before any steps were taken , Hartley and hl
Attorneys went to supper.
HUSTLING FOR HAIL.
At 8 o'clock last evening Mr. Hartley anil
Ills attornejs , together with County Judge
Cochran , assembled at the olllce ot Ames &
Pottles , and then began the conference In
Ames' private olllco , which continued until
midnight. The attorneys were In somewhat
Dt a dilemma. Men who hod been expected
to go upon the bond had left for their homes
In other parts of the state on the G o'clock
trains. Several parties In Lincoln were
communicated with by telephone and mes
senger. At 10 o'clock It was given out that
the bond had been practically arranged , but
that some details yet remained to bo set
tled. Tlmo passed on and the conference In
the private olllco continued. At twenty min
utes before midnight County Judge Cochran
; lcpurted for hiii home on A street , und before
leaving Informed the press representatives
that ho had approved the bond , but that
For prlvntn reasons , It had been deemed best
not to makn the names of the sureties pub
lic. Mr , Ames , Hartley's leading counsel ,
ileo declined to glvo the names of the bonds-
rnon. It was only stated that the bond wus
In the sum of $50,000 , tondlllonud upon the
appearance of Mr. Hartley bcforo the county
ludgo next Thursday ,
After the county Judge had departed , Mr.
Ames went hnmo , but Mr. Hartley and Attor
ney Bummers remained In the olllce for some
.Ime , chatting with the representatives of the
press , All were urged to give the particu
lars of the bond , and all felt Inclined to do
jo , but the agreement reached In the secret
conference was finally adhered to. Shortly
before 1 o'clock In the morning Messrs. Hart
ley , Summers and I'ottlcK left thu ofllco and
repaired to the rotunda of the Capital hotel ,
ivhero they remained for an hour , At 2
3'clock the trio left the hotel , took a hack
ini drove away In company. Mr. Hartley
: nado his appearance several times today on
Iho streets , but was alone upon cuch occa
sion ,
Later tonight It wan learned that Hart-
ley'o bond was signed by his attorneys ,
Ames & I'cttles. They practically stand In
