sides that at some subsequent time, ut
the instance of Great Britain, n compro-
mise may be effected through amicable
mediation, which would remove any
obstacles that may exist to resumption
of relations between the two countries
as preliminary to arbitration OF the
boundary dispute upon lines suggested
by the United States, such arbitration
to be entirely independent of the high

SPANISH CRUELTY.
Corroboratea Story Of Outrage from
Cuba Almost Beyond Belief,
Soldiers, in Their Thirst for Blood,
Murder a Beautiful Girl, Her
Father and Brother.

New York, March, 10.-A special dis
Patch to the Herald, via Tampa, says:
Refugees from the country are
still bringing in stories of out
RACES and cruelty by the Span
ish troops. Many are doubtless much
exaggerated, but there is one told by
woman who was among the dearest
friends of one of the victims. Her state
ment, moreover, is amply corroborated
from other equally trustworthy
sources.
Don Pedro Rubio was the owner OF
the Cato sugar estate near the town Of
Catalina, in the province of Havana.
On the Cato estate he lived with his
daughter Amelia, girl of 16 years,
an infant son, five servants and his
plantation employees.
During the recent skirmishing Of
Maceo's command in the neighborhood
OF Catalina the insurgent chief had en-
camped on the Cato estate. Hearing
OF strong Spanish column under Col.
Hernandez, however, he left Senior
Rubio's land and went forward. The
Spanish command finally broke up into
small squads and began securing the
neighborhood. One of such parties nd
yanced toward Senior Rubio's house, fir
ing upon it as they moved forward.
The terrified inmates soughtprotection
from the rifle fire behind the portions
Of the house where the walls were
thiokest, The servants and plantation
hands at the first fire abandoned their
huts and rushed for refuge to the more
substantial house of their master,
Shot Down in Cold Blood,
Don Pedro Rubio, believing the troops
must be attacking his home, supposing
1t to be held by rebels, stepped out bold
" upon his porch, carrying his little
boy. He took off his white straw hat,
waved it toward the advancing line Of
troops and shouted to them: "Stop
firing. We are peaceful citizens, the
inmates of the house and none other"
He had hardly spoken when another
yolley of bullets crashed against the
front of the house.
When the smoke cleared away Don
Pedro Rubio lay dead on his own TIRES:
hold and across his body lay his child,
pierced through the thigh by a rifle
ball. The troops still kept advancing
In sort of skirmish line and now they
charged upon the house with fixed
bayonets, as though about to take O
fortress by assault.
Beautiful Girl Ruthlessly Murdered.
Amelia, seeing her father and broth.
er fall pierced through and through,
had given one shrek Of agony and then
desperately flung herself against the
first soldier as he stepped across the
threshold and struck the man SO sharp
u blow full in the face that he reeled.
Just behind him came a comrade, who
lifted his rifle, with it's sword bayonet,
and thrust the knife edged point clear
through the girls arm as she held II
up instinctively to protect herself. In
the moment he pulled the trigger and a
rife ball passed through the young
girls breast, The Ave employees wers
killed after much the same manner.
The little boy, the sole Survivor, may
recover from his wound. In official
reports the deaths were included az
