ATROCITIES IN CUBA
Slaughter of Helpless Iuhab
itants Still Continues.
WHOLESALE ASSASSINATIONS
Insurgent General j:ponlble for Many
of tue Murder .V Havana News
paper' Opinion.
Tampa; Flo.., May 26. A tobacco mer
chant, who has just returned here from
Havana, says of the situation in Cuba : '--
"It goes against the grain to credit all
the stories of atrocities which have
reached Havana from the interior of
.Cuba, yet many Of these stories are sub
stantially true. ..'..
'.'Every one who has been able to get
out into the Beld of warfare has brought
back confirmation of the reports which
have crept into the city underground.
Some of these slaughters have been
wholesale. In some instances they have
taken the' form, of . executions without
trial of one or two sympathizer with
the rebellion. In others they have been
.'simple assassinations. .-
"These killings are justified , on the
ground that apparent noncombatants
are not such in fact, but are sympa
thizers with and aiders of the rebellion,
or pillagers and destroyers of property.
It is easy tor justify these" acte. No na
tion has recognized the belligerency , of
the Cuban rebels. It is only just to say I
that it is the volunteers, rather than the
regular Spanish Boldiers who are guilty
of these excesses. It is true, also, thatJ
the shedding of the blood of noncombat
. ants is mt confined to tho Spanish
troopB. In Pinar del Rio there is a
revel of death in which Maceo, as well
as the Spanish volunteers, is a prime
figure. The rebel general dominates in
that province, through fear. His orders
have gone forth, with the penalty of
death attached,' and the violation of
fhnsa erlinta hnWn fallowed with SUin-
' ma'ry . punishments. The insurgents, it
'. is said, hang those whom they condemn,
rather than to put them to death with
'.' the machete.
"This is thecharacterof the war beina
waged in Cuba, and it presents the same

daily. They flaunt the Spanish at their

- men from Spain to enter upon an offen

. COALING OF WABSBirS. '
Bpanlsb. Oonramut Advised t, Pre
. pare for an Kawrue;. '
Havana, May 26. Dlario El Ejercito,
regarded as the organ of the Spanish
array in Cuba, in discussing' the posit'
. biltty ol war with the United States
eays: ' ' " : V
r .' We have a 'greater army than was
ever before - in Spanish . America. ,. Oar
soliiers ; -are invincible. "We have got
together an astonishing amount of war
material.. But, while we have an -Army
more than' sufficient" 'to -deal' with' the
Yankees, our great warships are in
European waters. In case of - the open
-ing of hostilities they ' would have to
pavlgate 3000 miles, and as they must
travel at high speed they would use np
- most of ' the coal possible to be carried
in their bunkers before they could get
here." ; -
The paper then paints out the diffi
culty that would be 'found in coaling
warships and suggests 'the necessity of
Spain bringing to Cuba a sufficient sup
ply of coal and tbe establishment of the
.coaling vessels within reach of the war
" ships. 'At present the United" Slates is
' the only 'source of. coal supply in
America.' .

ceded to .the United States an extension

pleasure by ' Havana tobacco mea and
Spanish politicians. '.They ; Bay the
United States is getting all that is de
manded. The rush of tobacco to the
United States is now so great that-the
Algeria is expected to take nearly 10,000
bales, valued at $1,000,000, to Key West.
Daring the past week folly 30,000 bales
were shipped. ' Shippers here say the
United States stock is fully eqnal to the
demand for 18 months.
ENDEAVORS WILL. MEET.
A Great Gathering to Be Held at Wasb
. lug-ton City.
Washington, May 28. It seems as
sured that the Christian Endeavor con
vention, to. be held in . this city within
two months, will be the greatest gather
ing of the .kind . ever held. It will be
notable for the number of new features
in the program, it is proposed to pay
particular attention to evangelistic work
during the convention.
The delegates will go forth, as they
did at Boston, to the missions and other
evangelistic outposts and hold services
in the remote and dark corners of the
city, as well as in public places where
men congregate. For the first time in
the history of the annual gatherings,
gospel wagons will be need by the dele
gates. - An entirely new feature of the pro
gram will be daily Bible readings in one
of the large churches, conducted by
some student of recognized ability. .
The junior workers' rally, ; Friday
morning with the three-tent sessions,
coincident with the three-tent sessions,
is one more enlargement.' One nnique
feature will- be an open-air demonstra
tion at the foot of the Washington mon
ument. There is room at this place for
tens of thousands of' people to congre
gate. -After this service it is proposed
that the Endeavorers march down Penn
sylvania avenue to the capitol, where,
with added eigniflcAnce, the good citi
zenship demonstration will be contin
ued.' The last novelty, as well aB one of
the greatest, will be the first convention
of - the World's Christian. Endeavor
Union.
Re Is a Woman.
Helena, Mont., May 26. ' Several
years ago there came to this city a young
man who gave his name as Fred Rollins.
Today it turns out that he is a woman,
and , for fourteen .years has been mas
querading as a man. It is stated that
letters addressed to her show that she
comes of respectable people in New
York, who are very wealthy. Since
coming to Helena she has gained the
confidence of prominent merchants, who
set her' np in the oil business here and
at Qreat Falls, but drink caused her the
loss of both. She refuses to give her
real name. At present she is an inmate
of tbe Salvation Army Rescue Home in

A BRIDGE GAVE WAY.
And a
Crowded Street Car Plangee Into
Victoria Haibor.
Victoria, B. C, May 2G.-A terrible
accident occurred here today. - A sham
fight and review was to take place at
Macaulay point, near Esqaimalt, this
afternoon,. and crowds were makiugtheir
way there by every route- All the tram
cars were packed. , Shortly before two
o'clock two cars left Government street
with more than 100 people.. The first
got over Point Ellice bridge, which
crosses Victoria ArnW safely, but when
the other was about half way over the
middle span f the bridge, about 150 feet
in length, gave way, and the car plunged
into the water, some 100 feet below.
The car was completely submerged, and
all on board were drowned, with the ex
ception of some of those who were stand
ing on tbe platforms, and who, escaping
injury from falling timbers, managed to
saye themselves by using the floating
ruina of the bridge, and thus got ashore.
Numbers of the bodies have already been
got up, and the work of identification is
proceeding. It is a difficult . matter, tA
a great many of the bodies are those of '
visitors. . - "'
So far as at present known, there are
over sixty killed. .'..
When the bridge broke down, there
were several carriages on it, and these
also were precipitated into the - water.
Superintendent Wilson was driving one
of these, and had his fire children with
him. He succeeded in saving himself
and four children. The fifth, a little
boy, was wedged between some iron bars
and was drowned.

difference. But take only SIMMONS
