KEY WEST, Fla, June ga letter
has been received here from Owen
Melton, the young American captured
on the schooner Competitor, in which
he described the barbarities practiced
by Spaniards on prisoners confined in
Moro castle and Fort Cabanas. Elk
tracts from the letter, which is dated
Havana, June 8, follow:
The world will never know The bar
barities that are perpetrated by the
Spaniards on the suspects confined in
Moro castle and Fort Cabanas. They
are being tortured and shot without
trial almost daily On May 80 Faus-
trino Pardone, 16 years of age, was
captured in the outskirts of Havana
by Spanish guerillos and lodged in Ca
banaS. 1t was suspected that the
bay had bene in communication with
insurgents; to make Pardone confess
he was stripped and suspended by the
arms while Spanish lieutenant whtpp
ed the boy on the bare flesh with a
heavy whip. Pardone's back, shoulders
and breast were soon in a pulp and
he was shrieking in agony. Then the
officer asked Pardone if he had done
certain things, and in his terrible pain
the boy would scream yes, yes" This
was then written as the boys deposit
ton, to be read before the court when
he shall be tried for rebellion. 1t is
not likely that the boy will ever be
tried, as death will prevent Such
things are of daily occurrence in the
Cabanas prison, and at night volleys
of musketry are frequently heard. The

these volleys mean when they miss
the faces of well known prisoners and
from ten to fifteen are crowded in a
cell. There are several Americans in
Cabanas, among them being the Amer
leans captured with the schooner Com
petitor. Part of these are in one cell
and part in another. Julio Sanguilly
is also imprisoned there. He is given
a separate cell Numbers of Cubans
have been found al their homes suffer-
ing from wounds and have been
dragged away and thrown into the
dungeons of Fort Cabanas. The peo-
pie in Moro are mostly pacific
that is, people who were captured at
their homes on suspicion of sympathiz-
ing with insurgents. These prisoners
are kept in six large vaulted cells.
There are from rs to 115 in a cell. The
cells are filthy and damp and the
prisoners are given nothing to sleep
upon, so that unless they are fortu-
nate enough to have money or friends
they are compelled to sleep on the
damp, filthy stone floor There are
some men of note in Moro. among them
being Ascua who was Maceo's guide
in western Cuba; also Rafael Castro,
known as FL Inglesito, or 1.-The Little
Englishman," whom the Spaniards
would have shot had it not been for
consuls interfering.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 6.--The fact that

1t Bids Fair to Be Drawn Finely at
st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, June 6.-Much indigna-
ton has been expressed by the manag-
ers and owners Of the leading hotels
of st. Louis today over a circular sent
out by the business mems league, re-
garding the entertainment of negro
delegates to the national convention.
1t was agreed by the league when it
bid for the convention that the colored
delegates would be treated the same
as their white brothers. The leading
hotels, however, have taken care not
to make any contracts with state dele
cations that contained negroes for
rooms. Today the league officers learn
ed of this fact and sent out circular
letters requesting the negro delegates
ito make complaint if any of them
failed to be accommodated at any ho-
tel where they applied for rooms. The
hotels consider this as an incentive to
the negroes to prosecute them for dam
ages and say they will hold the league
responsible should any trouble arise.

of Puerto Principe on May 26 and on
