HORRORS OF THE SLAVE SYSTEM.
One OF those occurrences which so fully demon
strate the horrors and evils OF slavery on this island
lately took place ON q tobacco plantation In the
VueitOAbajO, owned by the widow Mendez, and
which has alarmed the entire district 1t appears

to have no overseer over them, and at signal
from one OF them all fell upon and brutally hacked
to pieces with maChetes the young man employed
in that capacity After committing the murder
they presented themselves TO the local authorities,
their machetes still dripping with the blood OF their
victim, and In q body confessed the deod Pending
the determination of the law they were imprisoned
for q day and then conducted to Pinar del Rio
under cavalry escort

In conformity with ancient usages the Chief
Magistrate ofthe Supreme Court has cited all per-

them by him or the authorities representing him,
to appear and substantlate the same within sixty
days or else forever after hold their peace. 1t is
however, not likely that the brothers Aguero,
Goicuria and Ayestaran, who were garr0ted, and
large numbers OF patriots who were shot by his
orders, will make their appearance against him
within the sixty days. The posting OF these cita-

accompanied by officers and detachment OF mill

the walls Of the public buildings.
