Ono of the Havana students has writer
a letter In which he thus speaks of thei'
position. After being sentenced. he says
We were the very next morning taken
to the quarrcs of st. Lazro road aud forced
to break stones and load them into
carts, labor en-. ely everlasting the
strength of the majority of us. Many OF
the stones are so heavy that II requires the
combined strength of several to liit them.
During the first days some of the boys
were struck with the rattan canes OF our
masters and loaded with vile epthets and
insults; but complaints were made, rs we
have been informed, by compassionate
people, and now we receive better treat
ment, and are not forced by blows to over
task ourselves. The food furnished us
we cannot eat and we are Obliged to sub
sist upon what we are allowed to buy.
Our plates are tin, and fork and spoon of
wood no cutting instrument is allowed
us. We sleep on palm mats thrown on
the cold stone floor and, rain or shine, we
are forced into the streets to our tasks.
Such treatment to us who have been ac-
customed to have all our wishes gratifed,
pampered and spoiled by our over-indul
gent parents, las, of course, caused sick
ness to many of US, and if continued our
sutlerings will end in death. Many ofmy
companions are responding, and envy the
fate of our murdered schoolmates. 9th
ers, however-the strongest and eldest,
and among them-keep up our spirits
and hope for the best. 1t is impossible
for us to imagine that we are to be kept
this way for six long years. We are
obliged to arise every morning at four
o'clock, although we do not 60 to our
TASK until six, and work until near sunset,
at which time The ,oli 10 called and we
are marched back to prison after that
we have what we call our dinner; then
Immediately after comes our only time of
pleasure, we are allowed to read until
eight, at that hour We are ordered to lie
down on our mats and go to sleep, or at
any rate remain silent; We are only al
lowed to battle once a week, and also have
a prison barber, who shaves all the boys,
with or without boards he has two razors
for this purpose, one very dull and like
saw, which is the prison razor, and there
is no charge to be shaved with it; but he
has a better one in reserve, which he says
is his own private property and for the
use of which he charges ten cents, which
we are all willing to pay not to undergo
the torture Of the saw razor. 1t is
rulnored that the students re soon TO be
