to teach the people that wheat could

SPAIN'S LATEST MOVE
An Effort to Secure Euro
pean Support.
ALLEGED cRUELTlEs OF cUBANs
Spaniards Hopc to Have the Insurgents
Treated as Pirates-The Case OF
tho Flfbusters.

MADRID, June 1.-The Madrid govern
ment has lately called the attention Of
the other European powers to the al
legged inhuman and cruel warfare adopted
by the Insurgents. Complaint is made
specifically of the use of dynamite to
blow up railroad trains, (those carrying
passengers as well as freight, and sugar
mills, and of the use of explosive bullets
in fights.
The European governments have in
structed their consuls in Cuba, it is
stated authoritively, to inquire promptly
and fully upon these allegations.
Spain hopes that some action will be
taken to declare the Cuban insurgents
pirates and malefactors unworthy the
sympathy of any uncivilized nation.
As soon as the papers in the Com
petitcr case reach Madrid-they are ex-
pected June 4they will be submitted
to the supreme court of naval appeals.
The impression is that the sentence of
the Havana courtmartial is certain to be
annulled, on the ground that it is vio-
lation of the treaty of 1870, and that the
case will be sent to an ordinary court
martial for trial, subject to the stipuIa-
tions of that treaty.

Lessons of Hope.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The st. Louis dis
aster furnished the theme for many OF
the Sunday sermons in Chicago. Few
of the ministers tried to explain the
phenomena beyond natural causes.
They stood appalled, at the loss of life,
but tried to point out lessons of hope
from the terrible slaughter. 1t was the
general verdict that the destruction was
not punishment for wickedness. DR..
Thomas, of the Peoples church, sug-
gested that if punishment was dealt out
in this manner for the violation of NOR
al laws, there would not be large city
in the world out of danger.
Rev. NJ. D. Hill, of the Central church,
DR.. II. w. Thomas, of the Peoples
church, Rev. H. A. Delano, Belden-ave-
nue. Baptist church, and Rev. Johnson
Myers, of Emmanuel Baptist church,
were among the ministers who took for
their subject the st. Louis disester.

KILLING nELPLEss PEOPLE.
Southern Cuba Is the Scene of whole
sale Murder.

BATANABo, Cuba, June l.-More inno-
cent blood has been shed in the fields of
this section OF Southern Cuba, as re-
suit of the struggle between Spain and
her colony, than in any other part of the
island. 1t is in this country that Mel
quoise's men have been raiding, riding
over farms and plantations, occasionally
skirmishing with the enemy, but more
often shooting down peasants in the
felds.
In the early part of this month Colo
mel Landa, at the headaof a column of
Melquiose's men, made reconnaissance
through the region north of Batanabo.
1t is said he was searching for band of
rebels under the command of Mendoza.
The country is hotbed of rebellion.
1t is the very heart OF the insurgent ter
ritory. The Spanish hold the villages
with adobe forts and fortified churches.
They command the railroad stations
with barricades, which shelter small
squads of soldiers under command of
subalterns. But the farming land is
open to the raids of both the rebel and
loyal bands. Through it they roam at
will, sometimes meeting each other with
skirmishes. In this position noncom-
batants pay tribute to the insurgents to-
day, and tomorrow the troops are among
them with the sword of vengeance.
Through this country Landa marched.
Occasionally he would halt his men and
ask a peasant for information as to the
whereabouts of the rebels. If the re-
plies were not satisfactory; if they
aroused in him the suspicion that the
peasant was in league with the enemy,
the countryman was shot down in the
field and the column passed on. This
is the testimony of men who claim to
have personal knowledge of the facts.
They give the names and locations and
the incidents corroborative of their
stories. The victims all lived in the
region above described.

boarding house at 1922 Washington
street, shortly after the Memorial day
parade had passed, ripped down the
famous relic, tore it to shreds, stamped
upon it and turned it over to its owner

as her only defense that the owner had
