SPANISH TREATMENT OF MAsoNs

SPANISH TREATMENT OF MASONS
IN CUBA.
The New York Journal of Commerce
has received inquiries from Masons in the
United States regarding the treatment of
Cuban members of the fraternity resid-
ing within Spanish jurisdiction. The
facts have been difficult to obtain but,
as nearly as that paper can get at them
from special sources of information,
they are as follows: Some months ago
Cuban lodge was meeting in a secret
place near st. Jago de Cuba, when some of
Gen. Valmaseda's troops made a descent
upon them and captured them, eighteen
in number. The object of their meeting,
the Masons insisted, was only the transac-
ton of ordinary business. But Valma
soda had, or professed to have, belief
that they were assembled to promote the
cause of Cuban independence. They
were, therefore, turned over to one of
his ieutenants, Gonzales Boet, and march
ed off into the country, under charge of
a detachment of soldiers. On reaching
secluded spot, Boet ordered the captives
to be shot down, and they were thus as
sassinaled without trial or preliminary
inquiry of any kind. 1t is believed that
Valmaseda had given Boet verbal order
to do this deed Of butchery. The muir
dered Masons were all Cubans, gentlemen
of high responsibility, and, their friends
assert, were innocent of any completely
in the Cuban revolution; 'hough there is
no question that their Ir,vate sympathies,
as those of nearly all Cubans-born, living
within the Spanish lines, were with their
struggling fellow countrymen. The
Spanish government in Cuba foresaw that
this piece of inhuman slaughter might
give rise to demands of explanation
from the American or English govern
ment, and Gonzales Boet was arrested and
detained in some prison unknown to our
informant, to be produced in case an in
quiry was instituted at the instance of
foreign power. But neithor the Ameri-
can nor the English Government meddled
in the affair-it is doubted whether either
of them were ever accurately advised of
the circumstances-and the murderer of
the eighteen Masons remains UNPUBLISHED
and unrebuked by the Spanish authorities
of Cuba to this day. Whether he is still
nominally incarcerated or is free, we are
unable to say. Soon after hearing of this
horrible occurrence, lodge of Cuban

THE Detroit Free Press says that
every little while the Radicals have a
spasmodic attack of selecting a Presi-
Dental candidate for the Democracy in
1872. They run through a long list of
names as of those among whom is likely
to be found the successful man as the
Democratic standard bearer in that fight.
And it is remarkable that in all this mat
ter, in no case do they mention man as
likely to be nominated who is not in
every way the superior of Grant. 1t in
dicates desire for improvement in the
standard of executive ability, coupled
with the additional fact that for the i'm
provement they are compelled to Look to
the Democratic party. The Democratic
party do not intend to disappOint the peo-
pie in this particular. They intend to
present man who will be vast i'm
provement upon the standard of executive
ability now erected, and they intend to
elect him.

CHICAGO contains some very mean as
well as wicked men, if we may credit the
papers published IN that progressive town.
One of these tells of Thriving" business
firm there that deals in womens under
garments. This firm advertises to sell a
sewing machine for $40 in cash, the re-
mainder 10 be paid in sewing. Purcha-
ser asks about the work and prices
thereof, and is told this: ''We wish you
TO make skirts. We do not exactly know
what we can pay until the work is laid
out, but we will pay you as much as any
body else The girl scrapes together $40,
and the machine is sent to her home.
What is the work required to be done
1t is on "underskirts." There are over
sixty yards of stitching on each skirt.
The price at which the sewing girl who
buys machine is expected to do this
work as Sirteen cents q skirt, and find
her own thread. She must either work
at this rate or lose her machine and her
$40. The regular price for making these
skirts is 5 cents a yard, or s. per skirt.
We have heard of ''skinflints,n but
Chicago is certainly entitled to claim the
championship in this line.
