SWEET VENGEANCE
Upon the Inhuman Governor of
the Province Of BeIIanona.
THE BLOODY RAMIASATRHS
Aud His Brother Put to Death for
the Recent Butchery of Innocent
subJects..Govcrnment of Mad.
aEasear Acts Promtiy.

PARIS, March 23-Prompt vengeance
has fallen upon Ramiasatras, Governor
of the Province OF Belanona, Madagas-
car, who, according to news received
here March 4, masaacred 27S persons, in
cludiDg men, women and children be-
longing to the leading families. Dis.
patches just received state that Ramias-
atras, together with his brother, who is
supposed to have inBtigated the massa-
ere, have been executed on the spot
where the wholesale killing took place
under the cruel Governors directions.
The cause Of Ramiasatras' sapguinary
conduct originated in the fact that he
fercely resented q petition from the pop
ulace addressed TO the Government, AK
ing protection from his repeated acts of
cruelty. This so enraged the Governor
that he commenced to slaughter men,
women and children, and continued 60
doing for several days. In many cases
the agonies Of the. victims were perpe-
trated by the Governors orders causing
their limbs to be gradually dismemhered,
their heads to be slowly sawed od and
by eubjectiug them to other acts Of tor.
ture. During the course Of the massacre
many OF the women who were put to
death were first outraged. In.the casa
Of all the victims their bodies were
thrown to the dogs.
In addition TO these atrocities, the sur
Vivors were compelled to erect trophy
composed Of the heads OF the murdered
people upon a spot near the scene Of the
butGhery. Tb Jury Of the .populRce waa
aroused TO such an extent by Ramiasa-
tras' inhuman conduct that the Govern.
ment Of Madagascar was compelled 10
take notice OF the Governors blood thirs-
tiuess and promised to investigate the
whole affair and to punish the offenders
II they were found TO bs guilty. This,
thanks to the moral pressure brought to
bear on the Government by the foreign
residents, has actually been done and
Governor Ramiasatras and his equally
ferocious brother have met the fate
which they SO richly deserved.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March o4.-The
President to-day appointed Ivory G..
Kimball, Of the District Of Columbia, to
be United States Judge OF the Police
Court Of the District OF Columbia, to act
until end OF the next session Of the
United States Senate. This appeint-
ment is made under the provision OF the
local police court act, approved March 8,
1901, and is significant inasmuch as 1t
indicates that the President feels legally
authorized to fill a newly created Ptesi.

having reference to the forcible break
ing on the fourteenth Of this month Of
the jail in this city and the killing Of
eleven persons confined therein under
indictments found in the criminal dis.
trict courts for tho Parish OF Orleans.
You stated to me that 1t had been
represeuted to the President by the
Minister OF Italy accredited to the Gov
ernment Of the United States that
among the killed on that occasion were
three or four subjects Of the King Of
Italy. The telegram disclosed an appre.'
hension on the part ot the Minister, evi-
IDENTIFY shared In by the President, that
the disturbance was continuous and
swelling disturbance, which might In.
volye the Italian subjects in New Or

hope expressed bv the President that |
would cooperate with him in maintain
ing the obligations OF the United States
toward Italian subjects who might be
within peril OF tho excitement and that
further violence and blQ9dshed might
be prevented was based upon that be;
lief. The President further expressed
the hope that all offenders might be
promptly brought TO justice.
On the 16.h inst. l telegraphed you
that there was no exCitementin the city

anticipate further trouble. also stated
that the action taken was directed

then entertained as to the termination
OF the trouble has proved to have been
well founded. The men killed, as !
have stated, we're confined in prison
