INHUMAN WRETCHES
Dastardly Deeds of Spanish
Soldiers in Cuba.
TALES OF BLOOD AND CARNAGE
Crimen or the Middle Ages Rivaled
Horror Murder nd Violence
Rampant.'
New York, June 3. The World pub
lishes the following special correspond
ence from Macgna, province of Matan
zas, Cuba, dated May 10.
Reports have reached here of a num
ber of unwarranted murders and out
rages by bands of Spanish guerrillas
under Colonel Luis de Oliveras.
Beliasdrio Nodarizo, of this town, re
lates the particulars of a fiendish attack
upon a Cuban woman.
"The guerrillas of Colon," Mr. Noda
rizo says, "while on their way to Cali
mite, stopped at the house of Matto Mar
tines, who bad been forced to enlist in a
body of insargenta under the command
of Juan Pablo Jabo. The officer in com
mand inquired from Senora Martinez the
whereabouts of her husband.
"Indeed, I cannot tell,' she replied, ,
"I'll make you,' said the Spaniard,
and he proceeded to tear off her clothing.
He then questioned her anew, and re
ceiving no answer from the woman, who
was crying hysterically, be unsheathed
bis sword and fell to cutting and slash
ing his victim until her blood covered
the floor and she fainted in a corner.
Her shrieks and entreaties only served
to provoke the brutal . laughter of the
soldiery."
Mr. Nodarizo said he laid th acts in
writing before Colonel Molina. The
chief replied by sending a equad to ar
rest and shoot the complainant. His
brother, Bruno, a tobacconist, beard of
tbe order in time to notify Beliasdria.
The brothers fled and joined the rebel
forces of Teoltide Garcia.
Colonel Molina's force a few days after
ward stopped at the borne of a farmer.
Only a woman and baby were in the
bouse. Molina demanded that she tell
where the men were. She protested she
did not know. He called for a platoon
of soldiers. As the platoon entered tbe
cabin Molina pointed to her and said:
"Pull out that rebel hag and shoot
her."
The mother and child were dragged
some 25 feet from the bat and a squad
moved away a few paces.
" Will vou speak now?" the colonel
demanded.
"For God's sake, I don't know,
cried the woman.
"Then fire," ordered Molina.
Tbe woman tried to shield her baby
with ber body, but merciless bullets did
their work. The baby was not killed
outright, and one of the soldiers, moved
by a sort of barbarous "pity, crushed the
little one's skull with the butt of bis
rifle.. The bugle sounded "fall in
Molina after setting fire to the house
coollv mounted bis borse and gave tbe
word "march."
In one of tbe outskirts ot San Jose de
los Ramos, and about three miles from
tbe village, there is a email house occu
nied bv Frederico Fuentos. Fuentos
bad two large canefields. He com
plained because Spanish soldiers de
etroyed bis cane instead of simply tak
ing tbe fodder. The same command, en
route to protect tbe "Espana" planta
tion a day or so later, stopped at
his home, having sacked a town en
route, and drunk heavily. The com
xnander accused a chief named Maza
Fuentos thought it ueeless to defend
himself. The officers then bade the
soldiers to punish him and his compan
ion as they deserved. A score of roach
etes flashed and in a few moments th
prisoners were a mass of blood and rags
A drunken fancy seized the murderers
Catting off the beads of their victims,
they hung them to the key of the grocer's
door,- while tbe horror-stricken neigh
bors looked on without daring to inter
fere. Only under cover of night were
tbe ghastly remains removed and buried,
A resident of tbe town of Cascajal says
one of Molina's guerrilla Danas was
marching to Beglita, tbe sugar planta
tion of Senor Sardinas for the purpose of
escorting a train of pack mules. As tbe
guerrillas approached tbe town of Cas-
cajal tbey passed tbe farm of a Cuban
named Garcia, whose two brothers were
In the insnrcent forces under Dimas,
which was operating in the district be
tween Becroo and Boque. A portion of
this force occasionally camped near
Garcia's house, and he was then visited
by his brothers. When the guerrilla
band arrived, however, the insurgents
were not in the neighborhood. Garcia
was alone in bis house.
"Where are the insurgents en
camped?'.' the lieutenant demanded of
Garcia.
I really don't know," the man re
plied.
"Tie him to that chair," the officer
commanded, and the soldiers laehed
Garcia securely.
Now will yon tell me where your
brothers are?" the lieutenant angrily
inquired.
"I can't say; I have not seen them,"
Garcia replied.
'Ha, I know they stopped here last
night, but since your eyes seem to be
usoless I will relieve you of tbem."
'Put them out," the officer cried,
turning to his soldiers.
The aergeant thrust the point of bis
bayonet under each of the unfortunate
man's eyes and burst tbem out, despite
the agonizing screams of the victim. As
they left tbe house the lieutenant jok
ingly remarked that the next time
Grcia would be able to say truthfully
oat he had not seen the insurgents.

Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Cbas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a splended medicine it is:
'It is with pleasure 1 tell" you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure tbe
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to tbe lungs.
