BARBAROUs SOLDIERS MURDER
MEN, WOMEN AND BABES.
Non OOmbattants Are Regarded as Rebels,
Same as Insurgents in Arms,
and Shot as Found.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The fol-
lowing letter was received at the
headquarters OF the Cuban junta,
in this city, last night:
In the San Pedro district, town.
ship of Canox, Havana province,
the column commanded by Col.
Landa and the Principe lancers
had murdered several persons, who
were non-combattants. They also
killed poor colored boy, about II
years of age, and also man named
Martinez, father of ten children,
who was cut down for the crime Of
having a son in the insurgent
ranks. The troops would not even
allow the burial of the bodies.
A poor and feeble octogenerian
was slashed with q machette~ and
died from the wounds received.
Names are not given, because facts
can only be whispered and we fear
even to retain them on our mem.
ory. 1 get these facts from resi-.
dents of the section and relatives
of the victims.
These murderers are proud OF
their atrocity. They say the non
combattants are as much rebels as
those they meet armed In the field,
and as they aid the insurgents and
are all spies they intend to get all
Of them they can see. In the San
Hernandez district the same col
umn and the same Principe lancers
murdered twenty-eight non-com-
bsttants without sparing women,
old men or children.
The man who fred at Maxine
Gomez VIII IN the rebel general.in-
chief was in Bejucal, was Bomsni
Cuidjaro, a policeman. 1t was he,
who acted as messenger for Gomez
In demanding the surrender OF the
fort at the railway station here.
The royslists insisted that he
should be killed for this lack OF
patriotism, but they hold that he
has redeemed himself by his at
tempt on Gomez's life.
1t is a common thing for people
who are passing along a road to be
fired at by soldiers. When inof.
fensive men are killed in this way
the authorities invariably give de.

As a means of increasing the de-

sanctioned the establishment of q
regular postal system, upon the
English model, al over the empire
which he has placed under the con.

general Of custom. This is nothing
new, but the revival Of an old and
much discussed scheme in China,
the adoption of which is said to be
due to the recent translation OF the

Britain last year earned q net
profit of more than f5,000,0OO out
Of posts and telegraphs, and the

The Ottoman Empire.

In the beginning Of the thirteenth CEN
tury the annual revenue of the Byzantine
empire amounted to 30,000,0 600. Yet
at that time not only was the eastern
empire greatly impoverished by the
rayages Of the crusades, but the chief
part of Asia Minor, with its Furnishing
cities, had been wrested from her by the
arms Of Islam. Today the revenue OF the
Ottoman empire is less than ELS, 900, :
600. The silence of desolation now
broods over vast regions which were once
thickly peopled. well cultivated, abound
ing in fiourishing cities and rejoicing in
an advanced civilization. Territories
which formerly supported the capitals OF
ancient ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Sardis,
Cyzicus, Prusium, Troy, Nicomedia and
many more-have been reduced under
Islam to cherries solitudes, broken at
intervals by Kurds or wandering Turko-
mans.
According to Ubicini, who spent 20
years in the civil administration OF the
porte and wrote in defense OF Turkey Az
years ago, the annual produce of corn in
Asia Minor was then estimated at S5,'
OOO, 900 Turkish kiles, which, he thinks,
might easily be increased tenfold IF the
great productiveness Of the soil were
turned to account. "The same re-
mark, he adds, "applies to all Other
productions which serve for local con
sumption or for expectation. ~ But i'll
stead Of increasing during the last AZ
years there has been al accelerated de-
crease. The decay Of every kind OF man
ufacture has kept pace with the decline
