WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 6.-No notice has
yet reached the Department Of State respect
ing the refusal of the Spanish Government
10 grant On exequatur 10 the United States
Consul at Ponape. Caroline Islands. lie was
appointed more than a year ago, but when on
his way TO his post fell III at sea and was
Obliged to remain at Honolulu for many
months. so that IL was not until October last
that he was able TO resume his journey and
reach his destination. Consul Rand is q
brother Of prominent missionary who was
formerly stationed on the Caroline Islands.
and the two brothers met at Honolulu. II Is
surmised at the State Department from know
ledge of Consul Rand's relationship that his
rejection by the Spanish Government has been
brought about through apprehension OF his
support of the American missionaries IN their
controversy with the Spanish Government. 1t
is not an uncommon practice. however for
nations 10 refuse to allow consuls 10 exercise
their offices in certain places. The refusal
in such cases is not based upon objections TO
the personality of the consul, but upon an
indisposition to allow representatives OF for
eign powers to be present officially at places
where they might acquire information
which the Government has reason to
keep secret. So the German Government re-
fuses to grant exequaturs to consuls IN AL
sace-L Lorraine, and the Russian Government
declines TO permit consuls 10 be stationed ut
certain points on the Russo-Austrian frontier.
In the case of Turkey no foreign missionaries
are permitted 10 operate IN certain districts
The right of nations to exercise their pleasure
in such matters has 80 long been recognized
that IL Is improbable that any protest will be
made in the case of Consul Rand at Ponape

Horrible Case of Barbsrity Perpetrated

Among superstitious Natives.
lBy Gable TO The Times.I
CALCUTTA. Nov 6.-The British authorities
of Madras have instituted an investigation
into case of horrible bsrbarity and supersti-
tion reported from Moduro. Rain has been
very much needed in that vicinity. and the
drought was attributed by the superftitious
natives TO malignity of an eyil-minded female
deity. To appease this deity they resolved
upon reyiying al old practice of torture
known as "hook-swinging."
A victim was found who consented 10 un-
dergo the ordeal. The points of iron hooks
were pushed into his back a rope WAS fastened
10 the hooks and the poor wretch was hoisted
into the air. His shrieks OF agony were re-
garded as evidence that the goddess was being
made to hear. and would answer with the long
looked-for rain. After the man had hung for
an hour he was taken down, apparently not
fatally injured although with two deep
wounds in his back. Whether rain followed
is not stated.

grounded belief is entertained by the resi-
