WEYLER,s RECORD OF BLOOD.



WASHINGTON, May 2L-Rev Alberto j.
Diaz, the American citizen, Baptist mis-
sionary and a member of the White Cross,
who with his family and brother were ex-
PEELED from Cuba after having been ar
rested and incarcerated in prison there, had
n hearing yesterday before n sub-commit-
tee on foreign relations, consisting of Sena-
tors Morgan and Davis Mr. Daz made a
statement under oath to the sub-commit-
tee, in which he declares that while Gen
eral Campos was in command the rules OF
civilized warfare were strictly enforced by
his orders, but after Weyler assumed com
mand he and others were summoned be-
fore him and instructed not TO treat or
otherwise care for the sick and wounded
among the soldiers of the insurgents.
He had seen Gomez order directly that
all prisoners captured from tho Spaniards
should be treated with proper considera-
ton, and that the Spanish prisoners either
sick or wounded should be nursed and
carefully treated until we'll. Gomez also
directed that no women should be mo-
losted. These orders have been enforced.
He declared that Weylers record is one
of cruelty AND blood, and gave several
incidents which had come under his OBJ
servation, and which he declared he could
substantiate. On Feb. 22, after killing six
or seven non-combattants at Guatao, Span
ish soldiers went into houses and dragged
out seventeen men. These were tied to-
gether, compelled TO kneel on the street,
and shot to death
The sworn statement tells of the shoot
ing of two children in their mothers arms,

using explosive bullets DR.. Diaz men,
