HAVANA, Feb. 26, 1871.
reports that Ygnacio Agramonte has recently
executed six persons who he suspected of
desire to return to Spanish allegiance. One
of these was muatto woman, the wife Of a
soldier named jose Belle, who formerly be-
longed to the corps Of Cornello Pono. She was
accused of trying to persuade her husband to
surrender, and was hung on the lst Of Febru-
ary, near the village Of Las Paiias. A man
named Luis Argilagos was executed at the
same time. Colonel Bobadilla, charged with
their execution by the Cuban Court Martial,
was ordered to bury the woman with her
clothing on out of respect to decency, and her
property was given to her husband.
These events elicit much comment as open
ing up new horrors in the closing days of the
rebellion. The Spaniards have never yet
executed woman for disloyalty, and it is not
the least part of the surprise occasioned by
the event that it occurred 80 soon after the
virtual pardon Of Madame Cespedes.
The Diarao to day, in reviewing the mani
festo published in La Peoolucion, refers to
that papers accusation against Mr.. Pryce as
the author of these dispatches, saying it
knows not whether he is your
special correspondent but the picture
Of insurrection in its last agonies
naturally provokes the charge of his being
bought with Spanish gold. Pryce is well
known here and in New York, and it is due
him to say that he is not answerable for the
HERALD's special news from this place, and
that all the accusations against him are un-
founded.

Tho Chi,dren,s Aid Society.

II Is nearly time that the so-caIled ''investi-
cation" into this excellent charity by the SEN
ate Committee should come to an end. The
animating spirit in the persecution seems to be
Mr.. Michael Norton, Senator from the west side,
who is free-handed kind-hearted politician,
in no way interested in religion himself or in
clined personally to persecute others. Other
Senators on the committee have avowed them
selves heartily sick of an investigation where
there is no evidence and only baseless rumors.
The trustees and officials were first called,
some three weeks since, to appear before the
Committee on Charitable Associations" to
whom the bill appropriating thirty thousand
recommitted on account OF ''charges to be
preferred by Senator Norton" No witness
appeared, but some letters were presented
from German lager beer seller, formerly an
employe of the society, who was disappointed
after leaving his place in not securing it
again. The officials were examined by
Mr. Norton and the committee, with
out knowing the charges, but nothing
appeared against the society. The complaints
ought then and there to have been dismissed.
Another meeting, however, was appointed at
the request of Mr.. Norton, and on this occa-
sion the witness, one Friedgen, appeared. All
reports of his testimony agree that he had
nothing but baseless rumors and mere title
tattle to present against the society, though
he had been in its employ for. eleven years.
His charges related to rumors of the boys sent
West returning to the city, and to scandals
among some girls Of doubtful character against
the superintendent of one of the lodging
houses. Other employees of the society were
examined, who entirely rebutted Friedgen's
charges, and not word was uttered before
the committee by the witnesses against the
financial management of the charity or the
character of its principal executive officer.
With such well known directors at its head as
George Cabot Ward, Howard Potter, Thco-
dore Roosevelt, William A. Booth and J. E.
Williams there could be no doubt Of its
efficient and honest management.
