RsnaarkapI. aud Suspicious Disclosure Shs
Cuban Prisoners.
The following paragraph appears in the leading edi-
torial OF yesterdays Republic
1--WE have yet evidence that the hy prison
sIs were condo mned and exec ed Whout trial We all
know that our consul Mr.. Owen, has stated that they wes
duly tried. We inform our Contemporary that tho
prsows ahof at HaUoaa tried ard condemned the
dss form Of Spanish iaU and that copy OF the complete
record Of The trial is in the hands OF an cat gente
man in the city of Washington"
Upon the above we remark
First. Mr. Owen has made no such statement publicly
here attributed to him. His letter says simply that
the prisoners had been frsdhat they duy" tried
he has not stated He could make no such statement
for. situated the captves were. his presence and
position their favor at least absolutely necessary
their due trial under the treaty The fact to be
that if tried at ALL they were tried in the morning while
he was in bed. The proclamation apparently had put
him to sleep, and he walked up just in time TO 60 and
hear the shooting brave specimen OF an American
consul
Second We say 10 the Republic, LET thai com
pste record" Of the 'ra in due form of Spanish law "
Let 1.-THE official gentleman in Washington city" into
court and bring his papers. We shall then how far
the due and regular forms OF Spanish law. soemny
guaranteed to these hapless by the treaty. OBJ
served in what is alleged 10 be their trial. We shall
what opportunities for regular and legal defence
given them 10 save their lives. We shall see how far
the free and aid Of counsel and other friendly legal
functonsres expressly guaranteed in the treaty to all
American offenders, were allowed in their case. We
hope that these prisoners had what their clear right
to wit, the due and regular forms of Spanish law as
administered by the tribunals having cognizance of
criminal offences but, at present advised, do not
believe any such fact can be shown.
Third But now say to the Republic. IT, you claim,
these men had any sort Of trial whatever, then no
thanks you or your President, his proclamation or
his consul! All Of you together, with solemn treaty to
stand upon and guide YOU have in the of these
men. quitcaimed and renowned Nth might and main,
from the date OF the proclamation up this hour, all

citizens what their own government in your hands. had
not the spirit nor the justice TO claim their right.
What you did for them by solemn proclamation TO
pledge beforehand this government to lift finger, and
ask no question: though Spain or any other ma
lion earth should, before after arrest shoot
them down like mad-dogs And now do you turn round
and say that Concha gave them fair trial in spite of
