NEW YORK, November l9.-Owing TO
the statement contained in a letter from
Havana, that on the night of the elev-
enth instant, when the news Of the cap

the Spanish volunteers, in their fiendish
eNultation over their triumph, visited
the widows of the Masons shot In 1865,
and brutally outraged the helpless
women; that in the struggle four were
killed, seven have since died, and sew
eral are in such a dangerous condition,
that they cannot possibly recover. A
petition is being circulated in this city,
and is being signed generally by the
masters and p&st-masters of the Mason
&c lodges here, calling for an emergent
session Of the grand lodge Of the State,
10 take such action as may be necessary.
Similar action on the part Of the Ma
sonic fraternity is being taken in New
