DEAD IN A BOX CAR.
HORRIBLE DISCOVERY MADE BY A
SECTION FOREMAN.
Were Probably SuYocated BY the
Gas From Common Timers
Stove, By Which the Car Was
Warmed.

Denver. Colo, March PA special to
the News from Trinidad, Colo, says:
This morning Section Foreman Norman,
for the A, 7. & S. F. railroad, at Spring
er, n. NJ, while inspecting cars, made
the horrible discovery of three dead men
in a box car standing on the side track at
that station. The men were seen last
night about the depot, and carried with
them common timers stove.
1t is supposed that they took up quar-
ters in the car for the night and started
a fire with charcoal in the stove. The
doors were closed and probably the men
were suffocated by the gas.
When found the bodies were Just be-
coming cold, and had been dead but
short time. On one of the bodies were
letters addressed to George Curtis, who
had relatives living at Maricopa, n. NJ.
He had 81 in money. On another body
were papers which showed that the de-
ceased's name was James Murphy, but
nothing more that might establish fur
ther Identification. The other body had
nothing whatever that would lead to its
identity. They were all fairly well
dressed men of about 30 10 80 years old.
and were probably on the hunt for work
The bodies were taken in charge by the
coroner, and an inquest will be held to-
morrow.

On the Defensive Merely.

Pampa. Fla, March 22-Incoming
passengers from Havana report that
the sympathizers with the Cuban re-
bellion arrested recently during the
disturbances have been released. They
are watched, and should they be re-
arrested will be confined at Matanaz.
This release is believed to clear the
prisons of Havana so that no evidence
of the rebellion can be observed by
visitors. 1t is reported the insurrec-
tionists have discovered that General
Sanquilly, who was expected to lead
the rebels but who was arrested be-
fore the uprising came, has been re-
ceiving $500 a month from the Spanish
government for eight years past
to keep it advised of plots against the
government by the Cubans.
General Guillerino is reported near
Satiago with 1900 men divided into
five companies. For the next two
months it is stated there will be no
great progress, as the Cubans do not
intend to assume the aggressive.
Early in June. the opening of the rainy
season, the Spanish troops not ac-
climated will be exposed to the ele-
ments. and yellow fever is relied upon
to kill more troops than the Cubans
might with rifles.

Omaha, March PA special to the
Bee from Lincoln says: Testimony
taken by the joint committee appointed
by the House and Senate to investi-
gate the condition and management of
the state penitentiary, was submitted
today 1t covers about fifty pages of
typewriter manuscript. The fact
seems to have been pretty clearly
established that some forms of punish
ment inflicted at the penitentiary is
unnecessarily harsh. The Investigation
also brought out the fact that the
favorite form Of torture at the state
penitentiary consisted of placing the
convict in the hole or the dark cell
lar with his hands handcuffed and
drawn up toward the back of his neck
with a rope first passed around his neck
in such a manner that every effort
made by the man undergoing punish
ment to lower his hands from the
painful elevation drew the rope so
tightly behind his neck that suffoca-
ton would ensue.
The committee then recommended
that this form of punishment be dis
penSed with.
This recommendation seems to have
been neglected to some extent, but a
new mode of torture has been brought
into prominence.
The convicts are handcuffed to a
rope. The other end OF the rope Is
passed over a pulley in the ceiling and
the convict hauled up until he can
barely touch the floor with his toes.
He is left in this position until he is
either sufficiently punished or faints
dead away. In the latter case, he is
let down, a bucket of water thrown
over him to revive him and he is then
conducted back to his cell or cot In
the hospital. Many persons testified
to these facts and the committee re-
ported in favor of a system of leasing
the penitentiary, which will probably
be adopted.

New York, March 22.-The sensa-
tional story was afoat today to the
effect that an attempt was being made
in this city to fit out a large American
schooner for the insurgents of Cuba.
1t is stated that the name of the
vessel and the addresses of the men
who have organized the filibustering
expedition are in the hands of the
Spanish consul.
1t is said that about two weeks ago
the Spanish consul was informed that
a suspiciously large number of men
had been employed to go to Cuba. 1t
was necessary that these men should
be citizens of America, otherwise their
employers had no work for them. The
men were to be given free passes to
and from the island, food supplied
them and were to be paid a salary of
$50 per month. OF those who were
hired, the ones who appeared to be en-
tirely trustworthy and likely to keep
the secret, were told the real nature
of the. expedition. The plan was
changed, it was said, and it was ar
ranged to send the men to Cuba on a
steamer of one of the regular lines
running to Colon, instead of the
chartered steamer. The latter was
then to be loaded with munitions of
war and. if possible, the cargo was to
be landed on the east end of Cuba, at
the scene of the present disturbances.
The details of this plan, it was claimed,
were learned through a detective who
had formerly been in the employ of
the Haytien government during the
late revolution on that island.
Arturo Baldasano, the consul-gen-
eral. when told of the story this
evening, said very decidly that there
was not word Of truth in the story.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Sugar Said to Be ut the Bottom OF
IT.

1t.
New York. March PA special dis
patch to the World from Atlanta, Ca,
says:
A gentleman at Mantanzas, Cuba,
whose reliability as business man is
above question, has written the follow
ing letter on the Cuban rebellion:
For three years past the planters,
hitherto loyal, have been put to a Sc
we're test Owing to the free sugar
clause in the Mckinley bill there was
great boom in the sugar industry of
Cuba. The planters not only largely
increased their capacity, but invested
to the extent Of many millions in new
mills and machinery.
'eThen like crash came the an
nounced policy Of the United States to
cripple the very market upon which
Cuba had built her hopes. Spain blum
dered in clumsy forms or retaliation,
instead of having at heart the inter-
ests of those who had been so true to
her heretofore. Last November the
planters Of Cuba held a meeting in
Havana, at which they adopted pite-
Gus appeal to the home government
Captain General Gallo promised to
forward it with a personal endorse
ment. 1t is doubtful if he ever did so,
but be that as it may, the next thing
the planters heard of it in January
was an intimation that further meet
ings for any purpose whatever would
be displeasing to the government.
'1Thus deprived of even the right of
petition, the planters have been brood
ing at their homes, giving quiet aid
and support to the rebels / have been
through a considerable part Of the is
land and everywhere men are rowing
around in small groups, avoiding the
military, but keeping them in constant
pursuit while the planters are nom
committal, remaining just quiet
enough to prevent confiscation. AS
soon as the troops leave any given
point it swarms again with the advo-
Gates of revolution. The harmony be-
tween the planters and the discomfort
ed is plainly to be- seen, as is the fact
that their traders have superior means
of information.
There is really no we'll formed at
tempt at mobilization as yet. The rur-
pose of the rebels is to keep in small
bands, to attract as little attention as
possible, and avoid conflicts with the
troops.
.sThis plan of having the,-whole is
land a camp without any point of
strategy for the Spaniards to attack,
it is believed, will weary the Span
iards and by lengthening the period of
disturbance will attract outside aid
after a while. There is not a day but
every Spanish garrison on the island
is rushed out on a wild goose chase
after an enemy that dissolves into
nothing and escapes"
