Spanish Barbarity.

Correspondence London Times
A case of most undoubted barbarity on the
part of Spanish troops has come to my notice.
On the plantation of Frenchman, by name
Betharte, the usual work was proceeding in the
sugar factory. Early in the morning a small
detachment of rebels passed through the plan
tation; later on body of troops arrived. Not
finding tho rebels, the soldiers entered the fac
tory where the laborers were at work and then
deliberately shot down IA of these perfectly in.
nocent people, nine of whom were Cinnamon.
The overseer FrenchmaD, by name Duarte,
rushed to the dwelling -house, lock ed the door,
and seized French flag to show his national
ity. The door was burst open and the overseer
killed. The plantation was then set on fire by
the soldiers. Nine eyewitness have testified
to these facts before the French Consul General,
and the matter has been laid before the Gov
eminent in both Cuba and Madrid. Gen. Wey-
Ter has ordered strict investigation of the
circumstances, and promises the summary trial
and punishment of the offenders. 1t is to be
hoped an example will be made of such q ma
ture as effsctualiy to prevent any attempt to
repeat similar actA
