Washington, May 3, A letter writ ten to tho consul at Managua, Nica ragua, by Nsrclso Arellano, a citizen of NInrngun, detailing Incidents of cru elties in tho ropublle, has boon for warded hero to Sonor Castrlllo, repre sentative of tho Estrada forces In Washington. In his letter Mr. Arel lano says: "I think it best you should know Uicso pooplo arc at their work again. They nro torturing men and even boys at Msndalmo and at Granada, whip ping them, suspending them from tho thumbs with cords, all this to wrench out confessions from them as to who carried provisions to Calaxto Talavcr as' guerillas beyond Mandaimo. "1 will clto as an czamplo cose tho coso of Ortnvio Marenco, a young man owning a ranch a few miles north of Mandaimo, who was dealt 200 lashes with a stick a midnight on April 0, at tho jail at Granada. Ho Is now at tho penitentiary In this town (Mana gua), and as It is a matter of common knowledge you must bavo heard the story from another source. "They have also burned property and wrought damago to an Incalculable dogrco, but this Jwo will pass lightly out of mind. It Is tho rest I lay stress on. I 'am ashamed that such cruelties should bo committced by men who profess to bo Christians and arc Nlcuraguans. Such ferocity is more tho work of fiends than human beings. "We wish tho State department and tho American public to be acquainted with these facts, as it might help mat ters a bit. It is a real sham? that such work is going on with your war ships a few miles off Corlnto harbor, when just a word from Admiral Kim ball would atop this devil's work. Should tho American admiral send an other mission to investigate, no will disclose a situation of tilings unparal leled, even in tho Congo Free State." Under date of April 10 from Mana gua, a subsequent note to tho Ameri can consul at Managua from Arellano states that tho author has received reliablo information of 17 cases In which men havo been hung up by their thumb. Ho gives tho names of 17 victims and tho namo of ono man who was shot and two who were lashed. Another document detailing those al leged cruelties and mentioning specific Instances of insults to women by offi cers, alleging In one case that a wo man was shot because she restated a government officer who tried to kiss her, has been submitted to tho State department by Scnor Castrlllo.
