 Whatever dismal forbodings the actual leaders of the Virginius expedi- ton may have entertained amid all these public demonstrations. it does not aD- pear that the purely American portion of the crew looked forward with any serious apprehension to the outcome Of their enterprise. While it is true that the Spanish authorities had good req son to suspect hostile intentions on their part, not a seintilla of evidence had been obtained which would warrant prosecution; for, as already stated, eYeTy object of a suspicious nature had been thrown overheard before the sur render and when the Spaniards boarded the Virginius she was to all outward appearances peaeeable emerehantman, duly documented, with the American flag flying at her stern. Capt. Fry and his men therefore expected. at the worst, short imprisonment, and an early return to the United States. But the poor fellows had not lecioned on the bloodthirsty temper of Gov. Bur- rel and the Spanish volunteers, and their intense hatred for this country.

The theatrical element enters so largely into the composition of the Latin races that even their atrocities are enacted with a due regard to scenic effect, Ar rived at the place of doom. the process sion halted and formed a hollow square, with the victims i'll the midst. The line of marines against the slaughter-house wall next opened, and the prisoners were placed kneeling on the edge of the trench. bound but not blindfolded, their faces turned toward the wall. What followed is best told in the words of Franklin Coffin, an American eye witness of the tragedy:
 After they had knelt down. he says. "the captain walked along the line and bade each one good-by separately. No one was sighted, not even the col ored men who sailed among the crew. The last sounds they heard on earth. apart from the roar of muskets that belched forth their death, were the kind words spoken by the heroic Fry. When this act of gentleness was done. he knelt down with the rest. The men were formed in line about three feet

PARALYSIS FOLLOWS BLOOD LESSNEsS AND NERVOUS

A Patient Woman Afflicted for

She Tells How at Last She Was Per-

T7,ola ibe Pgegs. Nelo Fork CitY.

For mu-e than fifteen years, Mrs. A. Mather who lives ut No. 43 East One-hun- dred-aud-twelfth Street, New York was sufferer from anGemia, which, in spite of the treatment o< physicians, gradually devel- oped into nervous prostration until finally marked symptoms ot paralysls set ln. Mrs. Mather gladly gave the reporter her eX- pelience.

 When Mrs. Mather talked with the re- porter, she was dressed for tue street, in- tending to go out for walk. She looked the picture of health, far different than she did before taking the Pink Pills.
 Mrs Mather's daughter, Miss Anna, cor roborated her mothers account, and told how she herself had been cured of chronic indigestion by these pills; and, too, how her cousin had been cured Of auRmia 1n same way.

and the surrender of the Virginius. to- gether with the survivors of the ill-fated expedition, are matters that do not come within the scope of this article. One little incident. however, l cannot pass over in silence since it emphasizes the absolutely deyilish cruelty mani fested by the officials on this occasion. The day before the survivors Of the Yirginius, 102 in number. were taken from Morro castle, Havana, to be turned over to the United States authorities they were informed by their jailors that their walk on the morrow would be from the cell to the grave. To enhance their sufferings priest entered the castle and began to shrive them. All night this inhuman torture was in- dulged in; and when in the morning light streamed in over the frowning walls. they all thought 1t the dawn Of their last day on earth. Sadly they fell into line ndmarched out into the town, All this while the United States vessel Junata was lying in the harbor await ing them: and their feelings can be bet ter imagined than described when the welcome ruth finally forced itself upon them. This episode was fitting eli max to one of the most hideous chapters in the long story of Spanish oppression and cruelty. V GRIBAGEDPyT.

from the wall Three paces back of them were the marines. with their muslyets at the shoulder Just before the yoIley was fired, Capt. Fry took off his hat and turned his face upward, as if in prayer. There was one brief moment of pause; then came the fame the smoke and the roar. As the cloudy curtain lifted, 36 Of the 37 men were seen writhing in the agonies of par tial death. Poor Fry lay stone dead, a bullet in his heart. his calm face up turned towards the beautiful tropical sky"
 According to several eye-witnesses, the scene that ensued was hideous be- yond description. The marines rushed upon the wounded men. and began dis patching them with horrible brutality. Thrusting the muzzles of their muskets into the eyes and ears of the dying. these fends literally blew their heads off.
 But still greater horror was at hand. Presently some cavalry appeared, and in order to accelerate the eXtermina- ton of their victims, the horse-soldiers were ordered to ride their steeds over the reelling mass of dying men. This was repeated several times until the last breath of life had been crushed ou: of the sufferers. After this the troops withdrew, and the rabble were let loose

The charge was piracy on the high seas; and four leaders, Ryan. Narona. Cespedes and Del Sol, were promptly found guilty and sentenced to be shot. Early at dawn on the morning of No vember the unfortunate men were led from their prison to the slaughter house outside of the towns limits, and to the cry of "Caba forever. they fell beneath d hail of bullets.
 But this was only a foretaste of Span ish vengeance. The first four victims, though executed in violation of all in- ternational law, were at least open and recognized enemies of Spain and had figured prominently in the war Not so the captain and the crew of the Yir- ginius many of whom had even been ignorant of the purposes and destina- tion of the ill5fated vessel. These men appeared before their judges few hours after the distant rattle of mus ketry had told them of the fate of their eEstwhile companions, and before dusk the captain and his men-many of them youths under age-had learned that their last moments were at hand. Thir- ty-seven of them, including Capt. Err, were told off for execution the next day. The scene of this horrible tragedy was the same as that of the frst--the city slaughter house, an adobe. structure with steep tiled roof, encireled by a shallow trench half filled with stag nant water.
 Half mile separated the jail from the

on the human shambles, with the re- suit that for the rest of the day the streets were paraded by processions bearing the heads of the victims on long bikes Thus ended the bloody orgy of November 4. 1873.
 It must not be supposed that this sec ond butchery had quenehed Gov. Bur riels thirst for blood. On the contrary, orders were issued by him for the shoot ing Of 50 more of the prisoners-the ma iority being boys ranging from 16 to 20 years of age-and three o'clock on the afternoon of the 5th was the hour set for their execution. At ten o'clock on the morning of that day, however a gallant British man-of-war, H. NJ. s. NiObe. steamed into the harbor of San tiago. As soon as her commander, Sir Lambton Lorraine. heard of the govern or's intentions, he quietly trained his guns on the town, and sent word shore that in view of the probability that some of the crew of the Virginius were Brit ish subjects, he must insist upon post ponement of the execution until the re- spective governments had been com municated with. Burriel demurred at first; but a second look at the pcrthoes of the Niobe and her decks cleared for action, caused him to acquies.e to the demand. and the remainder of the crew and passengers were saved.
