KEY WEST. FLA, March 4.-The news
of the death of Carlos AugerO spread rap
idly, and was soon the topic of conversa-
tion among all classes, particularly In
Cuban circles, where there seems to have

sorrow by displaying flags at halEmast,
and gathering in groups to discuss in sub
dued tones his many exploits in behalf Of
Cuban independence. In no other city in
the United States Will the announcement
Of his death be read with such sorrow as
here, where he was so well known. His
movements since landing near Car
denas almost a year ago have been
followed with great interest. Here he
subsequently organized his expedition,
and with handful of enthusiastic and
fOolhardy youths, many of them having
barely attained their majority, sailed on
the night of April for Cuba, where, al
most without exception, all have added
their names to the list of martyrs who

PHILADELPHIA, March 6.-Yesterdav
when DR.. Gorson was hanged two con-
victs confined in the prison were terribly
affected by the knowledge of what was
going on. Joseph Barrett, 30 years old,
conhnedin cell near the gallows, showed
intense interest in the hanging, but all
information was denied him. His cell
was sealed during the execution,
but Barrett must have heard
the footsteps of the solemn
procession on its way to the gallows.
When his cell was opened he was found
dead, and his death is attributed to fright.
Joseph Taylor, under sentence OF death
for murder, became delirious with fear.
He heard the noise, as he sat in his
cell few feet from where the scaffold
stood. The echo Of the falling doors had
hardly died away when the murderer was
Writhing in commissions, with his eyes
almost bursting from their sockets, and

residing in the country came into the city last
Saturday TO sell some chickens. He offered
them cheap because he desired to return home
quickly TO a sick child. His anxiety TO dispose
ofthem excited the suspicious of the dealer
that they had been stolen, and calling an officer
he had the man arrested and lodged in the
