WHOLESALE KIDNAPPING.
A Party of Boys Carried to Puerto bar.
sios and Brutally Treated-The Story
Of One OF Their Numper.

CHICAGO, Nav 20.
Richard Hugist, l6-years-old boy Of this
CITY. fully corroborates the story told by
anita Rosa of the kidnapping of Americans
to work on the railroad at Puarto Barrios.
hugist still bears bad scar on the face from
the effects of fall when weak from fever
and obliged to work. He saws he was sp-
proached at New Orleans by the pnrser Of
the steamer Ella Knight, who told him and
several of his friends that he would take them
to Florida, where they were loading bananas
About Ia boys went with the steamer. and
at the trst port they touched in Florida the
captain put guard on the steamer and re-
fused to allow any of the lads to land. Here
they shipped several Jamaica negroes for
banana work. From this point they went to
Pureto Barrios, where the party landed and
was counted and searched by the soldiers,
who took away any valuables they had. The
next morning they took the gang to = swamp
and sent them to work, cutting brush, max
ing ties and other labor, and made them
work, even though sick from fever, and re-
fused to give them food unless they did the
work. Hugist was taken i'll after working
IL or 20 days, and had to take shelter in
ruinoas hut or ''stack," merely covered by
palm leaves. in which he had to lie in the
water with lizards and other reptiles and in
sects crawling about him. He managed to
communicate with his brother in Chicago,
and after about three weeks got letter con-
tainiLg S25. After time the U. S. naval
authorities made the railroad people remove
the sick back to the States. During the re-
moval most OF them were half dead. Hugist
reached New Orleans on the 22d of JAM
uary.
When the sick were landed at New Or
leaus they were thrown out on the dock and
told to do the best they could. 1t was rain
ing in torrents, and they we're all too weak to
walk. They crept on all fours into a box car
for shelter and then into an empty ware
house. During the voyage from Puerto Bar
rios they were huddled together among the
bananas and experienced terrible discomfort.
The only food they got was hard tack bad
salt pork and bad coffee
After remaining in the warehouse several
hours. some charitable people notified the
hospital authorities and the sufferers were
eventually taken to the Hospital. Hugist is
still suffering from the weakness produced by
the fever and is unable to work.

LONDON. MAY 20.

LONDON. May ~.
The Marquis Of Salisbury, speaking this
evening at dinner Of the Middlesex tories,
said it was now quite evident that the diplo-
macy was useless to stop the advance of Rus
sia toward India. The right policy now was
to mass all available troops in the north of
India and to fortify the India frontier. He
upbraided the liberal administration for its
waste of lives and money in the Soudan
campaign, which had resulted only in humil.
iating failures.
Parnell will contest the south of Tyrone
against Dickson, and O'Brien will contest
another division.
The Daily news this morning says, the
statement that Russia demands to have an
agent at Cabul and complete the neutrality Of
Afghanistan is not true
Sr. PETERSBURG, May 20.
Rumors are currecnt here to the effect that
the Anglo-Russian negotiations haye col
lapsed. 1t is believed, however, that the ru-
mors originated with the war party.

AN ARREST MADE
Ofthe AccOmplice Of Prof. Odlum, in His
Fatal Jump from the Brooklyn
Bridge.

New YORK, May 20.
Today, James Haggard. who accompanied
Odlum on his mission to take the fatal jump,
was arraigned in the Brooklyn police court on
the charge of aiding Odlum to commit an act
endangering the latter's life. Another charge
against him is outraging public decency in
aiding the act.
The accused was committed to Jail without
bail. An autopsy was made this afternoon
on Odlum's body. The spleen, liver and kid
neys were found badly ruptured from the
shock in striking the water. There was
deposit of tuberculosis at the base of the left
lung. The right kidney was full of cystic
cavities and the left lung gave evidences of
slight fatty degeneration. The fret, third
and fifth ribs were broken. The doctors said
his death was due to the conclusion. The
marks on his body were similar to those
found on bodies of men crushed by the cav.
ing of earth.
Odlum had fine physique and would have
doubtless lived many years, had he not taken
the foolhardy jump.
The body was taken to Washington this
evening and will be buried in the Mount
Vernon cemetery.
