Secretary Oh remains silent. George Scott has been < ? ut of "incommunicado , " but has not -b < released. Mr. Olney Is truthful when he says t General Lee has not lewlgned. Hut t Is only half Iho truth. General Leo cab February 20 that ho had denundnd the lease of Sqott , an American citizen , llleg : kept "Incommunicado" eleven days , hoped Mr. Olncy would appreciate emergency and get ready to send him i Dhlps promptly , if they should bo neoJ Ho asked how many gunboats there w along the Florida coast and If Secret Olney would sustain him ; for , he added , could not and would nc-t stand anot nulz murder. To Gracral Lee's amazeim Mr. Olncy replied that the consul gene appeared to have exceeded his author doubt about Ru even wore Ihere not some citizenship , It would have becu better have coilpuHed the State department i asked lm > truclona before making any mand. This exasperated General Lee. was quibbling when another American U was In danger. General Lee had been to Dr. Ilulz's builsed and beaten corpJo i Scott'B wife v as pleading for the protect of her huaband , who was In the same k of dark cell where ho had been kept so lo General Leo cabled to Secretary Olney t Ruiz was a American and hud bjcn in dered ; that ho had demanded Seott'a lease , and It ho was not sustained ho wa leave the Island. Still Mr. Olney quibb He wntited proof of Ruiz's citizenship , lectured General Leo for daring to m a demand without Instructions. Not a w was said about sustaining him.

He told Mr. Olney that e since he has been here the Spanish authorl have Ignored Iho trca.ty In this resp that every Aanerlcan prisoner has been V in a dark cell 'Incommunicado" from ter fourteen days , Instead It three ; that he protested , and protested In vain , that It culminated In the death of HuU , and Si may bo killed. The general , reiterated I her would stand It no longer. The Si department must support him or ho we quit Hnvan'a. Then Scott was allowed to his friends. Ills release should have t obtained , and General Leo would have mnndcd It with a fleet , on account ol prisoner's Illegal treatment and .suffering , It was evident that President Cleveland wt not Eland by him , and Scott simply go changeof cell. He Is accused of ha\ had Cuban postage stamps In his collectlo General Leu will not be interviewed , it is evident that li-a U disgusted wltil cowardice , trpachcry and quibbling of State * department. Mr. Olnoy Is raid blame General Leg for making such a I juit aa the administration was going i and Mr. Cleveland , In nil unsigned dtspi to General Lee , | y ald to have rcproac him for not waiting longer. If thfcy hud the murder of Dr. Ruiz postponed , Gem Lea might have done so. U has been thu most humiliating exh tlon of an administration's weakness and fusal to protect American citizens In lory. No amount of statements from Olney can let-sen the guilt. I have given facts just ns they came out. When congi asks for and gets the dispatcher of the few days , John Sherman will not be i lo elt still while he reads General L cable dispatch to Secretary Olney of a wage ago Saturday. The country will hear Olney'a reply with shame , SPANIARDS ENJOY THEIR TRIUM1 Mr. Olney hua left the question we than open. Thu State department code known at the palaco. The. Spanish authi ties are fully aware that General Leola sustained In his claim that they have right to and muet nut keep an Amcrl prisoner shut up in a solitary dark i longer than three days. They also know U not sustained in his contention that one shall ho searched on an American \ 1 in this harbor. The next American t arrest they will keep "Incommunicado" long as they choose , and they will sea any one aboard any American vessel If tl choose , They say BO. They laugh at Q oral Lee now and Mr. Olnoy U directly eponslble for thin jkRradatlou of Amerl honor , and fur thcTXutposuro of Amrrlc entitled to government protection , Un ! John Sherman changes this policy Gen- Leo will resign the first time any Amerl Is Illegally imprUoncd In a dark cell.

( 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.
