VIII BE Sentenced to Death.

! Colonel Fernando Fegueredo, the
Cuban loader, OF Tampa, Fla, is in ro- .
coipt of q letter from Havana, giving
details Of atrocities which wore com
mitted by Spaniards in Matanzas pro-
vince.
Colonel Melino, who commands q
Spanish regiment, reoently encounter
cd the advance guard of Comet 8 army
in Matanzas, and was defeated. While
soldiers under Melino were in retreat,
they met group OF women and child
rem near q little town called Cayopino.
AS the soldiers passed, one of the wo-
men made sneering rcmark about
tho Spaniards. The remark was over
heard by the soldiers and Sc enraged
them that they butohered everyone of
the women and children. There were
ten women and about dozen children
in the group.
The letter says that the Spaniards
after shooting down their victims,
stabbed them with bayonets, inflictlng
the moat horrible wounds. One baby
was killed at its mothers broast, and
the bullet that passed through the in
FAINT, also passed through tho mother.
Colonel Melino made no report of tho
butchery, but it happened that two Of
the women murdered were wives Of the
Spaniards engaged in the sawmill bus.
mess at Matanzas.
When they learned how their loved
ones had been slaughtered they sent
De Campos information Of the horrible
affair and demanded that Colonel Me
limo be punished. It is stated that De
Campos has ordered that Melino bo
courtmartialed, and it is thought tho
butchers will bo sentenced to death, as
tho massacre is condemned ne bitterly
by Spaniards as by Cubans.

Although scarcely year in business,

is the Mecca for all shoppers, because
the firm sells as 1t advertises, and ad-
vCTtises nothing that Is not worth the
money of any purchaser. 1t is IA
vorite shopping place of the best peo-
Lle of the city, and the service IS
prompt and courteous. The Fair has a
great sale going on now, I'm order to
make room for necessary alterations.
"Our idea" said Mr.. Friend to lTrib-
une reporter, this morning, "is to make
the Fair the most complete dry goods
establishment in the city. Our trade de-
mands this, and you know our motto is
to be as good as our trade. The base
ment, which for years has been used as
a book store, we will take possession of
shortly, and build large stairway from
the main floor to this part of the build
ing, which will be used for the display
! and sale of certain lines of goods. We
have also obtained control of the upper
floors and will put I'm an elevator to
reach all departments. This will give
us a chance to get our millinery de-
partment properly before the ladies

The workers Bible training class origi-
mated by the association is u unique

Christian work for young men; it's
teachers are not trained theologians,
therefore they leave all doctrinal dis
putes and theological difficulties to the
scholars, and combine themselves to
teaching the fundamental doctrines of
evangelical Chrlstianity-they seek to
train men i'm their use of the Bible in

that hundreds of young men in the
