AFFAIRS IN CUBA.-ALLEGED SPAN
ISL ATROCITIEs.-NEw York, July 20.
The Tribune has the following: An
interesting letter relative to the Gu
ban situation has come to light. A
Spanish gentleman went out to Cuba
several months ago to claim an inher-
itance that had been left him. He
says that at Nuevitas he learned that
nine Creoles were going to be pres
emily shot. They passed near him
with firm step, with heads erect and
with look Of brave determination.
Arrived at the fatal spot they seated
themselves upon the fatal bench al
ready prepared for them, and at the
sound of the voice of the officer who
gave the word to fire, cried out "Hur-
rah for Cuba! Hurrah for Cespedes y
After they had fallen the volunteers
stuck bayonet8 into their, bodies. AT
Gibana he saw group of armed meu
marching toward q house of modest
appearance. Wishing to see what
was about to be done, he followed the
soldiers, who arriving before the door
halted while three of the party enter.
ed. The latter cried out at this mo
ment, "Here is the insurgents Here
is the Manbi !" "What do you wish p
said young man. off it is | whom
you search for l am at your service
but do not brighten my father and
mother" Without ceremony the vol
unteers seized the speaker and beat
ing him along before them with the
butts of their muskets until they got
close to the cemetery, and there run
him through with at least twenty bay
onets.
From Santiago de Cuba comes
news of a thousand atrocities, com
mitted by the infamous Francisco Pc
res, to whom Governor in that par
of the island had intrusted the direc
ton of matters in Guantanamo ant
Baracoa. This bad man, wanting il
every sentiment of humanity and eve
ry moral principle, had been robbins
and assassinating every Cuban wht
was believed to be a Liberal. Whole
families in the vicinity of Guanatana
mo had been murdered by this bandit
Young and old persons had beef
butchered by his knife, and his com
Ipanions. Not satisfied with the vii
lainies committed here, they passet
on to Baracoa, where, aided by few
other assassins, they went from hous
to house. Hundreds of persons wer'
in this way murdered and with tn
full consent and knowledge of the au
: thorities.

CRMEs.-Last Tuesday was day
OF horrors in Cincinnati. Early in
the morning, drunken tailor named
Meagher picked up quarrel with
his wife because she refused to give
him money to buy whiskey. fiis
abuse finally became so intolerable
that the wife ordered him to leave
the house, to which he replied with
fearful oath, i will fix you, and at
the same instant raised an axe strik-
ing her terrible blow over the head,
making fearful cash. and laying her
insensible at his feet. The eldest
daughter, seeing that the father was
killing her mother, screamed Murder
murder! which so excited the infuri-
ated wretch that he missed his aim
the second blow, and only made a
deep cash in the side of the face and
severed the left ear. Hearing foot
steps approaching, the would-be MUIR
derer dropped the fatal weapon and
rushed down to the wharf-boat of the
Cincinnati and Louisiana steamers
from which he leaped into the river
and found watery grave. A few
hours afterward, Emil Jaworski shot
himself because of disappointment
in love. And to complete the tale OF
blood, William and Benjamin B. Ry
an, Brothers, engaged in dispute OF
a matter of sufficiently small import
ance. Each wanted to use the wag
on, and the dispute soon became very
warm. AT last the younger seized al
axe which happened to be near a
hand and struck his brother four blow!
upon the head, knocking him sense
less, and, it is, feared, inficting sucl
serious wounds that life cannot b,
saved.
Caroline Evans, a white woman
who has been living in the family OF
James NJ. Denman, in Barlow Coun
ty, Georgia, went into the room where
he was sleeping with his wife ant
child. last Friday morning, kindled
fire, and, taking ali axe, reached owe
his wife and child and struck hin
across the forehead, cutting out on
eye. He rose up in the bed, and ask
ed her why she had cut him. Sh
said she would tell at the proper time
He died Saturday morning. She ha
been arrested, but refuses to give he
reasons for killing him.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--Ata foundry
in Lewiston, Pa, last week, two men
named Junkin and Bearly were re-
pairing some brick work directly IN
der a cupola containing about five
tons Of molten iron. The bottom sup
port was a bar of iron, which sudden
ly broke, letting down the whole mass
of metal and cinder. So far as can
be ascertained, both the men jumped
but unfortunately fell. Bearly was
probably in STOPPING position, his
entire back having been roasted from
the neck down, the flesh in places
hanging in shreds. Mr.. Junkin' s
worst injury was in the left leg, the
metal having nearly filled his boot
but his hands and other parts of his
body were also severely burned, pie.
ces Of iron having been extracted from
his feet, etc, after he was taken home
When the accident was discovered
the injured men were seen running in
to the creek near by to relieve then
agony. Physicians were sent for, but
their efforts were unavailing. Bearly
died in about two hours, but Junkir
fingered on in agony for several days
when he died.

Dear Srs Il ought 10 have acknowledged
long ago the box of Pain Killer you had the
goodness to send us last year. Its coming was
most provdental. l believe hundreds of lives
were saved under God, by it. We resorted at
once tie the Pain Killer, using as directed for
cholera. A list was kept of all TO whom the Pain
Killer was given, and our native assistants as
sure us that eight out of every ten to whom 1t
was prescribed recovered. 1t has, too, been very
useful in various other diseases. 1t has proved
an incalculable blessing to multtudes of poor
people throughout all this region. Our native
preachers are never willing to go out on their eX-
cursions without supply Of Pain Killer 1t gives
them favor in the eyes of the people, and access
TO families and localities by whom otherwise they
would be indifferently received. Believe me,
dear sirS, gratefully and faithfully yours,
]. NJ. JOHNSON, Missionary in China
From Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China,
now visiting his home in Washington, Pennsyl-
vania.
Dear Sirs During residence of some ten
years as a missionary in Siam aud China, 1 found
your Pain Killer most valuable remedy for that
fearful seourge, the cholera. In administering
the medicine found it most effectual to give a
teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water
sweetened with sugar; then after about fifteen
minutes, begin TO give a tablespoonful of the
same mixture every half hour until relief was
obtained. Apply hot water to the extremities.
Battle the stomach with the Pain Killer clear,
and rub the limbs briskly. OF those who had
the cholera and took the medicine faithfully in
the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered
Truly yours,
r. TELFoRD.
If attacked with diarrhea, dysentery, or CT amp

At Newport, KY, last week, Thorn
as Downey was arraigned in court to
answer the charge Of committing a
rape upon Annie McShane. Downey
took a seat at the side of his attorney,
and the first witness for the prosecu.
ton had just been called, when Hugh
McShane, a brother of the young wo-
man, who had accompanied her to the
courtroom, drew a pistol from his
pocket, and, before any one could in
terfere, placed it within a few feet of
Downey's head and fired. The ball
passed entirely through the prisoner
throat, anterior to the windpipe, and
lodged in the wall of the courtroom.
The wound produced is a very severe
one, though not necessarily fatal
McShane made no attempt to escape
but quietly submitted to arrest, and
was lodged in Jail.

AT Burr Oak, Mich, last week, a
woman, aged %, who had been mar
ried about five years, deliberately
went off with her husbands youngest
brother. All was done with the full
knowledge of the injured husband
His wife packed up in his presence
her bed and clothing, which were
placed In a wagon, together with her
self and child, by her paramour, when
they were driven about a mile to the
residence of her husbands father, the
husband and another brother follow
ing on foot. Here the whole matter,
contemplated for over a year, was
freely and deliberately talked over,
the woman declaring that she never
loved her husband as well as she did
his youngest brother. The young
man coolly helped his brothers wife
and child into the wagon, and, getting
in himself they left for parts unknown.
