CRUELTY IN oHTNNs COURTS.
Prisoners Horribly Tortured to
Force Confessi0ns.

EOECG concessions.
London. oct. 1O.-The Pau Mall Gazette
publishes a second letter from its cores
pondent in Kucheng detailing the diff
culties attending communication with
Foo Chow and describing the trial OF a
prisoner implicated in the outrages upon
the missionaries When the court is
ready, the writer says, the accused man is
brought in handcuffed. He is filthy in
appearance and has the wild and CHASTITY
look of a starved man, which he really Is.
The prisoner opens the proceedings by
swearing that he was nowhere near the
scene OF the massacre and then the tor
ture begins. The man is first compelled
to kneel with his bare knees upon coil
of chain. His head is dragged back and
his pigtail is fastened to a rack high above
his head. A pole is then thrust across his
legs and two soldiers stand on each end
of it, crushing the poor wretch's knees
into the coil of chain.
The British consul could not stand this
method of extracting testimony and in-
sisted that it be stopped This was done
as far as the proceedings In the court
room were concerned, but for an hour af-
terwards the shrieks of tormented priso-
ners could be heard coming from an ada
cent room, where the torture was con-
tinued.
When the maeistrate wanted TO hear
the confessions of a tortured man the lat
ter was brought back into the court room.
II he held back his confession he was
threatened with resumnfion of his tor
ture. This was usually itudicient to cause
the prisoner TO tell an he know rather
than return to the torture chamber
Besides the torture described the prIs-
oners were beaten with bamboo sticks un-
I'll their yells were most horrible to hear.
one prisoner appeared IN the court room
unable to walk from the beating he had
received and another was unable to kneel
because his knees had been broken by
the chain links and his thighs had been
lacerated by the strokes Of the bamboo
rods. In the midst OF snch misery cakes
fruits, tea and wine were served and par
taken of by native officials, who could
not understand why the foreigners pres
ent pushed these delicacies aside, refusing
to touch them.
The correspondent declares that the
powers ought to demand Justice without
torture, reaching the Mandarin as
promptly as the man who works In the
field. The whole business, he saws. lies
at the door of corrupt officials

A CUBAN FOURTH OF JULY.
KEY WEsTERS CELEBRATE 1T
WITH WILD ENTHUSIASM.

The Anniversary in COmmemOratfOn
of the First Attempt for Cuban
Liberty Twenty-Nine Years Ago.
The City and the Vessels i'm the
HarbOr GaiIy Decorated with
Flags and Bunting-A Negroes Head
Blown on by the Bursting of "a
Cannon.
Key West, Fla, Oct. 10-Never in the
history of this city has there been such
enthusiasm as was displayed to-day, the
twenty-ninth anniversary of the first at
tempt for Cuban independence. From one
end of the city to the other business
houses and private residences are gaily
decorated with American and Cuban flags.
Many vessels in the harbor are also deco
rated with all the bunting available As
early as 6 o'clock this morning the people
were startled by the booming of cannon,
which continued at intervals of a few
minutes all day.
Promptly at o'clock this morning the
American and Cuban flags were hoisted
over the city hall. Speeches were made
from the balcony by Messrs. Ben McLen-
don and Francisco Gonzales, the band
played national airs and the spectators
cheered themselves hoarse. At the same
time, but in a different part of the city,
the same scene was enacted. Both Ameri-
can and Cuban flags were hOisted over the
county court house. The various Cuban
clubs met at the San Carlos hall at $3.50
p. m, and were Joined by the several fire
companies, Grand Army Of the Republic
corps and Sons of Veterans. They formed
a procession, headed by the Key West
Cornet band, and marched to the ceme-
terry. Here several patriouc speeches
We're made by Misses Pogo and Padron,
and Messrs. Pogo, Satores and Brinas.
The ceremonies finished, they marched
back to the San Carlos hall, where Ley
dispersed
At the last moment, just as the process
sion arrived at the San Carlos and as the
last gun was fired, It bursted. instantly
killing a colored man named John Frazier,
literally tearing off the top of his head.
His brains were scattered for about
twenty feet beyond the body. Fragments
of the cannon were driven hundred yards
or more, but no other damage was DONE
The supposition is that the cannon, which
was an old one, had been fired too rapidly
and, it being the last charge, was too
heavily loaded. The Cubans have taken
charge of the body and will bury it to-
morrow morning.

FILIBUsTERING FAKES.
The Government Growing Suspicious
of Spanish Reports.

of Spanish Reports.
Washington, Oct 1O.-secretary Car
Isle called on Attorney General Har-
mon this morning and handed him sew
eral kilograms received by him from col
lectors of customs and others regarding
the movement of alleged filibustering
parties along the gulf coast. The two
cabinet officers discussed the situation
at some length. United States collectors
of customs, United States marshals and
United States district attorneys have al
ready received all the necessary instruc-
tions how to deal with intended hlibus-
tering expeditions. 1t was agreed that
no proper means should be left undone
to prevent the violation of the neutrality
laws What constitutes a violation,
however, is not 50 easy to determine, nor
what is an intended violation, but these
matters are put in the hands of the Uni
ted states district attorneys to determine
The fact that so far all proceedings
to detain alleged filibusterlng expeditions
have been thrown out of the United
States courts inclines the administration
to be cautious and thus avoid the possi-
bility of suit for damages. 1t is said
that the Spanish agents along the Flor
ida coast, in their zeal to secure infor-
nation, seize upon rumors as facts and
many of these alleged facts, being for
Warded to federal officials, have been
found, upon investigation, to be un-
founded and incorrect.
A telegram received at the treasury
department from Capt. Brown of the
revenue cutter McLane regarding al
legged flibusters reported on Three Keys,
Fla, reports concerning which were com
municated to the authorities here by the
Spanish minister, indicates that the min
ister's informants were unduly alarmed.
Capt Brown says that there were sew
enty-nine Cubans, without arms or am
munition, on Three Keys, adjacent to
Key West. He found that the steamer
which carried them there had been dis
mantled, her water tanks were empty,
she had no coal aboard, and had been
advertised for sale.

at large were elected by pluralities rang
ing from 1,150 to 1.200 and the democrats
elected eight and the republicans seven
members of the council by wards.
1t Is claimed that, as a result of the elec-
tion, Gen. Harrison will not be able to Sc
cure a solid delegation to the next ma
tional republican convention In Indiana
1t is estimated by the Trusler people that
nearly 1900 friends of Gen. Harrison either
staid at home or refused to declare for
the head of the republican ticket Trus-
ler's friends declare 1t will be impossible
for Harrison to secure any favors in this
city without bitter struggle, and the re-
publican managers are distressed by the
threatened disorganization of the party
here. Democrats are already Suggesting
Taggart as the next democratic candidate

victory here It Is generally believed the
democrats win unite and push him for
