At the Killing by the GarrOte at
Havana.
Spanish Minister Says the Men
We're Negroes and Guilty.
SURPRISES ARMENIA.
A Black Page in the History of
Spain
Is the Horrible Execution of the
Cubans.

Washington. April THE message
from Havana giving the details Of the
killing of five prisoners by the garrote,
raised d cry of horror in Washington
Senior Dupuy de LONE. the Spanish
minister. admitted that the men had
been killed, but declared that the form
of punishment was the one prescribed
by Spanish law. He said the men were
negroes, and had been guilty eff a most
atrociOus crime in hanging a merchant
at Guira 1Ielena, and in killing a small
boy at the same place.
He said the details of the execution
had been exaggerated The reports to
the Cubans in Washington declare that
the horrible execution of the five men
at Havana, is but sample of the afro
cious cruelties of Captain General
Weyler in Cuba They declare that
they have Information indicating that
such crUelties are practiced nearly
every day in Cuba, and that they are
so horrible as TO be beyond comprehen-
sion
Senior Quesada. who represents the
Cuban party in Washington said such
incidents as the one reported today
only gave a vague idea of the reign of
terror that is now in progress on the
island. He continued. Atrocities are
being committed every week in Cuba
that surpass in cruelty the worst of
the Armenian outrages over which
such q storm of popular Indignation
was raised in this country
The cruelties reported in this execu-
ton viii be denied by the Spanish au-
thorities and the denial viii be believed
by the American people because they
cannot conceive how such crimes can
be committed by a civilized nation.
Senior Quesada said he had no doubt
that the five men put to death had been
guilty of some offense against the
Spanish rule and that perhaps. their
ofenses merited the death penalty but
no matter what their Ohense was. they
We're entitled to a reasonably humane
punishment
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 barbarous manner
should arouse the Indignation of all
civilization He continued: 1--WE do not
ask the American people to look to the
events OF the present war to form their
conclusions about Spanish cruelty.
