Down In Cold Blood.
Story OF Horrors Rivaling Arme-

TAMPA, Fla. May 5-Thc Rev. Alberto
Diaz. the missionary Of the Southern Zap

appalling account of the atrocities COM
nltted hy the Spanish soldicry.
I'm the three weeks prior 10 my dcporta-
ton from the island" SAYS Mr.. Dia2, "more
than one hundred innocent Cubans were
butchered in Havana province alone. Ap-
palllng as this statement may seem, it is
strictly true. for myself saw the mutilated
corpses Of many of the victims.
1.-The butchcries were perpetrated in the
rural districts of Miguel Del Padron and
MinaS, not far from Havana. The officer in
command of those districts is colonel Fonde-
vile, who is Il bosom friend of captan-gen-
eral Weyler
"ln every case the Spanish official reports
say that these people were killed in battle.
That these reports are false is proven 10y the
fact that many women and children were
among the slain.
"The most horrible affair occurred in the
MinaS district shortly before | left the
island Col.Fondeville's column came upon
Il gathering of 'ubans. composed Of men,
women and children. Al the Spaniards APP
preached the Cuhans fled, and the troops
opened fire on the fngitiNes, killing eighteen
outright and.wounding many more. Among
the killed were four women and five children,
the ages Of the latter ranging from 5 to II
years. The Spanards left the corpses where
they fell and they were buried secretly al
night by Cuhans."

lucky enough to be out OF sight and
hearing when that scrimmage took
place in his committee room, with the
attendant exchange OF glass and cut
lery. According to Boutelles story
he was born under II strange red star.
1t has been his fortune always to be
on hand when anything ont of the
ordinary was on the point of taking
place. He is somewhat inclined to
aggressiveness himself, as is shown by
the courage and intepidity of some OF
his rhetorical assaults in the
House; but this would not
account for his entirely innocent
and passive connection with exciting
episodes. SO well-defined is Boutelle's
propensity for being found in the i'm

happen that he Inns made it rule of

smother his curiosity and get out of
the way. But even, this does not work
always. When Taulbee was shot
down by Kincaid on the marble steps
of the capitol six years ago, Boutellc
was the first to reach the side OF the
wounded congressman. 1t was his
strong bnt kindly arm that supported
the injured man, and it vas he who
took the first steps toward securing
relief. When Carl Brown was arrested
by the Washington police for walk
ing on the grass of the capitol
grounds, Boutelle stepped off cable
car right into the midst of the bowling
mob which surrounded the victim Of
Coxey's agitation for good roads. The
congressman was forced by the crowd
right mp against Brown and his es-
cort, and thought for the moment
that he was in danger himself of being
run in. When Breckinridge and Heard
of Missouri had their row ON the floor
Of the House in the Fiftv-third Con-
gress, and almost came to blows,
Boutelle was within five feet of the

than anybody else, prevented blood.

and implored them to give their consent to
their marriage, but they would not consent
believing that she was too young, and after
trying in vain to~chunge their minds she
went to her room.
A pistol shot was heard not long after, and
her parents on going to her room found her
on the floor with Il wound over her left lung
about an inch above the heart- DR., ,SeWton
was summoned and he called DR.. Chisholm
from Bennington in consultation. The
wound was probed and the bullet was To-
Gated, and the next day it was removed.
As soon as the patient was able young
Stanley was called and a minister married
them. DIR. Newton said that although the
wound was serious one he had hopes of
the recovery of his patient, who was rapidly
improving since her marriage.
