The writer in the Speaker

Key West, Fla, Nov. o.
Advices received from Hava-
ma, per steamer Mascotte, give
details of an outrage upon ali
American citizen and the
butchery of nineteen non-com-

by Spanish soldiers. The
massacre occurred last Thurs
day near the town Of San Jose
de las Lavas, Havana prov
ince. A detachment of Span
ish soldiers surprised six in
surgents, who made their
escape, which angered the
Spaniards, and they began to
raid the houses in the neigh
borhood, alleging that the in
habitants were in sympathy
with the rebels.
The Spaniards went to the
sugar estate Of Frederick L.
Craycroft, who came here from
Indiana about three years ago.
Some Of the soldiers entered
the house and two of them
seized Mrs. (,r9ycroft and as
saulted her. The husband in
desperation rushed to his
wife's side, but was struck
down by a sword in the hands
of an officer, Two terrible
gashes we're made in his back
and his right arm was nearly
severed.
The Spaniards looted the
house, took $3.50 in cash anc
then raided the outhouses or
the estate. They burned eigh
buildings and shot and killec
Inmates, four of whom were
women.

for the cause an interesting II scandal

Aside from the beauties of the concert
halls of Paris, London and Vienna, Leo
pold has had one fad, and that is the
Congo 1t had fascination for him like
the green-covered table has for the gam
bier He regarded it as the gateway to
untold wealth. and to force the golden
doors open he spent all the money that
he could lay his hands on. How many
millions of francs have been buried by
his kingly hands in this miserable sec
ton of Africa is unknown, but the num-
Der can be measured by the hundreds.
He spent his own money first and the
money of others afterward. Some of the
latter regarded the speculation as fair
one, and have themselves to thank for
their losses. Others went into It to
please the king, and they received his
one innocent investor in the Congo who
rjsked more money than any of the 9th

money, and soon he must make 1t good.
This innocent investor was his sister
the insane Carlotta, eX-empress of Mex
leo and widow of the Inflated Maxi

A Vast Fortune.
Thirty years ago, when the unfortunate
Carlotta first showed signs of mental
failure she had :. fortune OF 5O,O0O,000
francs 1t was =. the summer or 1866
that she left Mexico to solicit aid of the
nonarchies of Europe for the unstable
empire established by her husband in
Mexico. When 1t became necessary to
place the unhappy queen under restraint
King Leopold as her eldest brother and
the head of the family, assumed the man
agement of her financial affairs. Upon
her death must account for the 5O,ooO-
0OO francs with compound interest, or
something like 210,000,000 francs, accord
ing to some estimates of the value of the
estate today.
every sou of this has been sunk by
Leopold in Africa. All that he could
borrow went the same way For years
he has been throwing good money after
bad in the hope of recouping dozen
times over when the wheel OF Dame For

Her Death Near.
It is now believed that the physicians
in attendance upon Carlotta have told his
majesty that her life cannot be much
longer preserved Many times within
the past year. or two she has been re-
ported as dying, but the magnificent care
given her has kept her alive when 1T

London March 12.-Rumors have been

Africa. He has jumped from one end of
Europe to the other, has talked with all
the kings and queens and their foreign

each of the powers find that it has all it
can do to take care of it's present slice of
the dark continent.
The Congo Free State, which Leopold
would like to exchange for cash, is sup
posed to have lot of gold. German
East Africa is to the east of it, and the
British South Africa company is to the
south of it. The Congo river runs
through it from end to end. Millions of

Collarettes and Frills.

At first thought it would seem as
though women must submit to the small
tight-fitting sleeve. 1t is a conspicuous
part of all the Paris gowns. But there
are many incidental ways in which it's
unbecoming effect can be disguised The
large collars which frill out over the shout
ders are wonderfully useful in this direc-
ton. They are larger than ever Just
now and give the broad effect at the
shoulders of which women are so fond
When these collars are worn the close
fitting sleeve at the shoulder is invisible
Deep grass linen and linen batiste collars
are to be much the vogue this spring.
They are edged with frill of grass linen
embroidery and will be worn extensively
with cloth as well as silk gowns. White
null collars will also be popular trimmed
with lace or frills of null embroidery
In making a tight-fitting sleeve for a silk
frock a jabot of lace starting from the
shoulder and running to the wrist Will
greatly improve the effect. A cluster of
lace frills at the elbow Is also an inn
proyement. In the new tight-ftting cloth
sleeves buttons will be much used They
will wander down the sleeve in a single
row or be arranged on both sides of a
widely strapped seam.
