SPANISH BARBARITY
Aroused a Feeling of Horror
at Washington.
SENOR DE LOME'S EXPLANATION
Of tlie Execution of .Cuban Frlsonen at
IIilrMl TuesdayThis Is But
a Single Inatanos. '
Washington, April 1. The message
from Havana giving the details of the
killing of five prisoners by the garrote
raised a cry of horror in Washington.
Senor Dupuy de Lome, the - Spanish
rcinister, admitted that the men., had
been killed, but declared that the form
of punishment was the one prescribed
by Spanish law. He said the men were
negroes, and had been guilty of a most
atrocious crime in hanging a merchant
at Guira Helena and in killing a small
boy at the same place. He said 'the de
tails of the execution had been exag
gerated. '
The reports to the Cubans in Wash
ington declare that the horrible execu
tion of the five men at Havana 19 but a
sample of the atrocious cruelties of Cap
tain General Weyler in Cuba; They de
clare they have information indicating
that such cruelties are practiced nearly
every day in Cuba, and that they are so
horrible as to be beyond comprehension.
Senor Quesada, who represents the
Cuban party in Washington, said such
incidents as the one reported today only
gave a vague idea of the reign of terror
In the island. He continued:
"Atrocities are being committed every
wek in Cuba that surpass in cruelty the
worst of the Armenian outrages over
which such a b tor in of popular indigna
tion was raised in" this country. The
cruelties reported in this execution will
be denied by the Spanish authorities,
and the denial will be believed by the
American people because they cannot
conceive how such crimes can be com
mitted by a civilized nation. The Span
ish authorities are conducting in Cuba
today exactly the same sort of warfare
that the Apache Indiadsfin Arizona
waged 20 years ago on the frontier.
They are mutilating tbeir victims in ex
actly the same way, and using the most
barbarous methods of warfare."- '
Senor Qaeeada said he had no doubt
that the five men put to death had been
guilty of eome offense against the Span
ish, and that perhaps their offense
merited the death penalty, but no mat
ter what their offense was, they were en
titled to a reasonably humane punish
ment. The fact that they were put to
death in itself is not revolting, for they
may have deserved it, but that they
were tortured in the most barbarous
manner should arouse the indignation of
all civilization.
Kotorluoi Outlaw Killed.
Guthrie, O. T., April 1. The notori
ous outlaw Carl Thorn, alias "Diamond
Point," who led the raid at Coffeyville,
Kan., and who, while a member of the
Dalton gang, killed four men, was killed
this morning by Deputy Marshal George
Richards at Dover. The outlaw and of
ficer exchanged 10 shots.- Richards will
get the $3500 reward.
INSTANTLY KILLED.
The Traced v 'Which Occurred
Kear
' - Jiattevllle Tuesday.
Woodbcrn, Or., April 1. James I.
Dozier, a farmer, shot and killed Frank
Kelly yesterday mornint: on the farm of
A- E. Laroque, near Butteville, the
farm being leased by Dozier.
Immediately after the shooting Dozier
went to Aurora and gave himself up to
the constable. At the coroner's inquest
in the afternoon Duzier testified that
Kelly had interfered with his business
and threatened his life nntil it was un
bearable; that he had taken the .horses
Highest of all la Leavening Power.
mm
out of his. barn, transferred his hogs
from one field to another, chased his boy
around the place with a pitchfork and
had done all sorA of devilment.
Dozier said that yesterday morning
Kelly came through his yard and seeing
him commenced to abuse him. Dozier
ordered him off the place, and told him
be musjt let his business and family
alone. Kelly replied that be would do
as be pleased, and, with an an oatb, told
Dozier be would do him up, at the same
time putting his hand to bis pocket as if
to draw a revolver. Dozier, thinking
his life was in danger, fired, the ball bit
ting Kelly in the breast, killing him al
most instantly.
A number of .witnesses corroborated
Dozier's story regarding the threats
made against his life by Kelly, and the
jury, after a few minutes deliberation,
returned a verdict that the shooting had
been done in slf-defenee. The verdict
gave general satisfaction to Dozier's
neighbors, who regard him as a quiet,
reputable citizen. ' '
At Oregon City, where both ; parties
were known, the shooting is. believed to
be the outgrowth of an A. P. A. -Catholic
clash. It is said that Dozier is a mem
ber of the A. P. A. and an active worker
in the order, whe Laroque, became
aware of Dozier's A. P. A. affilia
tions be and Kelly set about making it
disagreeable for Dozier, so that he would
abandon his lease and leave the. farm.
To this end they annoyed Dozier in end
less ways, but Dozier persisted in re
maining. Kelly, who was formerly catcher for
the Oregon City baseball team, was
buried at Butteville today.
OUTLAWS SWKAIl VENGEANCE.
It la Directed Against the City . of
Wichita, Falls.
WicniTA Falls, Tex., April 1. Sev
eral farmers who live on the Texas side
of the Red river, just across from Fort
Sill county, were in town today. ' They
claim there is a gang of outlaws in the
territory o, posite them. Occasionally
one or more come over for supplies and
ammunition, and spend a portion of
their time target-shooting with Winches
ters and six shooters. They say that
Qrawford and Lewie, who .robbed the
City Rational bank here February 25,
and killed Cashier Dorsey, and were sub
sequently lynched by the citizens, were
a part of this gang.
The criminals tell these settlers that
J. A. Kemp, bank president and whole'
sale merchant, and Burke Burnett, the
cattle king, are responsible for the lynch
ing of Crawford arid Lewis, and they
have sworn vengeance against them and
the city of W ichita Falls. These settlers
have been slow to inform these gentle
men of tbeir impending danger, as, ow
ing to their -proximity, their lives and
property would be at the mercy .of the
outlaws. Before Crawford and Lewis
raided the City bank and killed Dorsey,
the bank officials were notified of the in'
tended raid, but they made light of- it
and failed to take warning. They will,
however, heed the . notice that has now
been given them and be on their guard.
