TELLS OF SPANISH ATROCITIES.
weyler Edict That Seems Framed to Give
Victims to laughter.

victims To Slaughter.
IF Cuba gained her independence IN
this struggle-and 1 hope and maintain
that she will-she will start afresh
with wonderful possibilities before her.
Spain will soon be forced by lack of
funds to withdraw her troops. The
opinion express is not that of transient
Cuban residents, but of merchants
and landowners, Spanish as well
as Cuban. The Spaniards express this
opinion in private only, as public ex-
preston of it would insure their exc
cution as rebels. Weyler does as he
pleases. His latest edict is that all
persons, men. women and children. who
are found outside of the Spanish lines
shall be considered rebels and shot as
such.
This edict was published only in
the official gazette in Havana. which
circulates among Spanish officers and
officials only. There was no way in
which those outside of these circles
could learn of the edict. There is no
railroad to Pinar del Rio from Havana,
and it is in this province that the edict
has cost the greatest loss of life. Peo-
pie taken under this edict are marched
outside the gates of the city and shot
down by the soldiers. The reports of
prisoners captured by Weyler are only
the capture of these poor devils.
THE former practice of the Spanish
authorities of shooting prisoners in
Moro Castle and throwing the bodies
into the water beneath as food fo..
sharks has been stopped. because not
long ago several bodies drifted into
the bay of Havana. The authorities
explained to inquiring citizens that the
men had probably been drowned. Bull
let holes inthe head. however. dis
proved this. The people would well
come anything to.hasten the end. not
only on account of the loss property
and life. but on account of the

reducing their demand from 10 per

to per cent. on double strength. This
was refused by the manufacturers. Be

fort to have an arbitration board of

In reply to question as to the gen.
eral feeling of people living in Cuba he
said: Today We might say that Spain
holds Cuba by sheer force of arms. The
whole country-Spanish and Cuban
alike-desires peace even at almost any
sacrifice, and although it may seem
strange the Spanish element is quite
as pronounced in this feeling as the
Cuban. anC wish peace and the independ-

again under Spanish rule would be un-
able to pay the enormous war debt al
ready incurred, or to stand the tremen-
dous taxation which would inevitably
be imposed by Spain upon Cuba, and
another uprising would under those
conditions follow. Spain would have to
expend great sums of money to keep
Cuba in submission. The war debt now
is estimated at $500. .OOO. 600. and is ac-
cumulating at the rate of ST., 2,0O0, 900 a
