The from CUBA the outlines of which we gave yes

FROM THE N. Z. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER SATURDAY.
We grieved than surprised to find that some Of
contemporaries persist in alleging that and
human atrocities were ppeated the dead bodies the
executed at Havana in the face Of the direct and nds
putabe testimony of Americans who eye-wtnesses
the execuonmen of undeabe veracy and unquestioned
patrotsm-and who declare that Immediately after they
shot the bodies removed in respectable funeral
the cemetery for nermen Such persistence statement
known to be false destroys the confidence any pub
lished in the columns Of such journals.
This and other attempts to excite spirit of vengeance
the people have failed The meeting in the Park last
evening was failure Reflective, law-abiding men kept

others Meetings where such are prominent have but
little influence and the moral effect of the resolutions passed
