BY THE SLOW GARROTB
Sensational Story of Dygert's
Reported Death.
. CRY OF HORROR.
Csused By the Execution Of the Five
Cubans-Much sympathy Being
Excited for the Insurgents
BY the Bungiing Work.

Chicago, April IA special to the
Chronicle from Washington says:
Sensational news in the Dygert case
is brought from Havana to Washing
ton by a prominent Cuban official, who
has returned to this country Here is
the story:
When Dygert was captured the
Spaniards thought they had caught Ell
Inglesite, a man who has bothered the
Spaniards considerably. He was chief
Of one Of the largest Of the guerrilla
bands and the price was set upon his
head. Dygert, unfortunately for him.
could speak no Spanish. No papers es-
tablishing his identity were found up
on him and several Spaniards came
forward to swear that he was lone
other than Ell Inglesite. You can guess
his fate. Dygert, whom the S%paniards
believed was Ell ~Inglesite. was tortured
and finally killed by what the Span
lard know as the slow garrote.' 1t
takes a man two to four hours to die
that way and he suffers greatly.
Whether they ever buried the body l
do not know.
When it became known to the
Spanish authorities hat Ell Inglesite
was still alive and fighting. while the
man they had murdered was none 9TH
err than the American citizen, Dygert,
there was CONSERVATION in Havana.
Consul General Williams was asking
Information at Havana and so was
Senior de Lone from Washington.
Something had to be done to gain time.
A Spanish spy. who was born in the
United States. hit upon a plan. No one
in Havana knew Dygent's handwrit-
ing. The history of the man. however.
was perfectly well known. The. spy
sat down and wrote a letter. signed the
name of Dygert, telling something OF
his family history, relating how he
came to be arrested and stating that he
was imprisoned al Guines. The letter
was dated tile day after the arrest of
the supposed Ell Inglesite. This letter
was allowed to fall into the hands of a
correspondent OF a New York paper,
who promptly cabled it to New York.
and the American public was informed
that Dygert a safe and well. The
date Of the letter seems to have escaped
attention"
This strange story is contradicted by
some facts and supported by others.
The contradictory point is that the
supposed letter from Dygert is said to
have been sent to Consul General WILL
Jams. who is understood to have been
familiar with Dyert's signature. At
the same time the state department de-
mics that it has received any informa-
ton from Consul General Williams
which bears on the Dygert case. He
says he has not received any answer
either. 1t is considered strange in
view OF Dygert's alleged safety that
nothing definite can be learned from
Cuba concerning his fate.

BROOKLYN HORROR.
Ten Lives Lost BY Fire and
Smoke.
ALL ESCAPE CUT OFF.
1 Narrow Escape OF One Family
Wen. women and Children Caught
In she Death Ernp-Etorribic
Details.

New York, April Ten persisted by
suifocation in a Brooklyn tenement
house early today. The names of the
victims are as follows:
AUGUST BUNO, HIS WIFE AND
TWO CHILDREN; SALLY. ) year old,
and JOHANNA. is months.
LENA CALABIA, is years old.
NICOLO TRALIA. so years old: his
daughter, LENA. "a years old.
DOMINICK TRALIA, his son, "a
years old, and an ~lS-days'-old baby.
CORNELIA MARIETTA. 2G years
old.
All met death by sulfocation. The
bodies of some of them were badly
badly burned. BunO and his family
lived on the third floor, the rest of the
u~nfortunates lived on the second floor.
The fourth floor was unoccupied. The
occupants of the first floor escaped
without injury. John Calabia, nus
band of Lena Lalabia. also escaped
from the second floor uninjured. The
ccuse of the fire, which originated in
the hallway of the first floor, is I'M
known.
The fire started in the lower hallway
of the building, which is a four-story
tenement in Union street. and before
of their danger, all escape was cut off.
The flames swept up the stairways, and
the halls and rooms were quickly filled
with smoke. Ten of the tenants were
sr%4focated in their beds.
The section of the city where this
terrible disaster occurred is near the
water front. The majority of the resi-
dents are Italians of the poorer class
and they form the biggest colony of
their race in Brooklyn.
The firemen succeeded in getting the
fire under control after a short time.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated at $4,000.
There were many exciting incidents
connected with the fire. One man, an
Italian, whose name is unknown,
jumped from a window in the third
story and escaped with only a few
burns and bruises
The family of Joseph Estosito, liv-
ing on the second floor. had a narrow
escape. When aroused they found
their way cut off and the flames were
sweeping mo their apartment $. Esto-
sito led his wife ana three children to
the cornice in front of the house and
guided them along it to the building
adjoining, from the roof OF which they
were taken by firemen.
Each floor of the building was di-
vided into five rooms. There was one
large front room with windows open
ing on the street. A hall bedroom ad-
joining, with a window. also opening
on the street. In the rear was another
large room, with W. windows, with a
good-sized kitchen adjoining. The

RACES, over which such a storm of
popular indignation was raised in this
country. The cruelties reported in this
execution will be denied by the Span
ish authorities. and the denial will be
believed by the American people be-
cause they cannot conceive how such
crimes can be committed by a civilized
nation. The Spanish authorities are
conducting in Cuba today exactly the
same sort of warfare that the Apache
Indians in Arizona waged 20 years ago
on the frontier. They are %mutilating
their victims in exactly the same way,
and are using che most barbarous
methods Of warfare"
Senior Quesada said he had no doubt
that the five men put to death had been
guilty of some offense against Spanish
rule, and that perhaps their offenses
merited the death penalty, but no mat
ter what their offense was, they were
entitled to a reasonable humane pun
ishment. The fact that they were put
to death in itself is not revolving, for
they may have deserved it, but that
they were tortured in the most bar
barous manner should arouse the in
dignation of all civilization. He con-
tinued:
I'VE do not ask the American peo-
pie to look to the events of the present
war to form their conclusions about
Spanish cruelty. 1t is a matter of his
tory, and the history that records just
such cruelties was not written by Gu
bans or by Spaniards, but by English
men and Frenchmen. We can well
understand that any reports that Gu
ban may spread in the United States
at this time about Spanish cruelty will
be looked upon as prejudiced and I'M
fair. For hat reason we have not at
tempted to keep the American people
advised of their atrocities. The Span
ish are in control on the island of Gu
ba, and they exercise a censorship over
the telegraph and mail that prevents a
true statement OF the affairs there be-
ing known, but the truth will come out
gradually, and the people of this coun-
try will put a stop to the warfare in
time.
When Spain sent Weyler to Cuba it
was hoped his presence in Cuba would
terrorize the Cuhans. and thai they
-
would put a speedy end to the wal the
minute he put his foot on the island.
He made his reputation in Barcelona,
where he crushed out the anarchists.
His control of Cuba, however, was a
grave mistake. because his methods Of
warfare will become. known in time
and civilized people will not tolerate
him."

THE GARROITNG BUSINESS.
Washington, April 1.-The message
from Havana giving the details of the
killing OF i've prisoners by the garrote
raised a cry Of horror In Washington.
Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish
minister, admitted that the form Of
punishment was the one prescribed by
Spanish law. He said the men were
negroes and had been guilty Of q most
atrocious crime in hanging q merchant

DYGERT'S FATE.

Washington, April 1.-Oficial ad-
vice received by the state department
from the representatives Of the United
States in Cuba show thai Dygert, the
citizen Of Illinois, arrested by the
Spanish authorities. is alive and we'll
treated. that Spaniards have had un-
der consideration the question Of his
release at once. but after an examina-
ton, reached the conclusion that the
circumstances which have come to light
concerning his movements warranted
at least further inquiry before his case
can be disposed Of. The inquiry into
Dygert's case therefore is still proceed
ing and Dygert will be held at least un-
til 1t Is completed.
