CT Competitor was seized, writing from
Havana under date of June 3, gives an ac-
count of the treatment of prisoners In
Morro castle and Fort Cabanas He says:
Nightly volleys of musketry are heard.
The next day the prisoners understand
what the volleys meant when they miss
the faces of certain men. The most hor-
rible thing that has come under
my observation occurred on May
30. On that day Faustino Padrone. lo-
year-old boy. who had been captured near
Havana, was brought to the Cabanas.
The boy was suspected of being connect
ed with the insurgents. and to make him
confess he was tortured He was stripped
and tied up by the arms Then Spanish
lieutenant whipped the boy with raw
hide until he was a mass of bleeding pulp
As the whip fell the officer would ask the
boy certain questions. The latter, suf-

STUCK ON HIM.

The more we see Of the Demo
cratic nominee for president the
better we like him. We heard his
grand speech before the State silver
league in New Orleans some months
ago, and had the pleasure Of an in
PRODUCTION 10 him. and to use the
vernacular Of the s'boYs aud girls
OF the period, we have been ''stuck
on him. ever since. He is aplain un.
assuming man, pleasant and affable
in manner and cordial in his greet
ings. and he gives every evidence
Of honest sympathy with the plain
people. He believes in the restor-
alton OF the financial policy inaugu-
rated By the fathers Of the republic,
and in the sLbordination Of the will
Of corporations, trusts and COM
bines to that OF q majority of the
American people. While he would
restore the government to the hands
Vt the popular masses he also would
guarantee to the man Of capital the
protection that justly belongs to
him as . citizen. Wall street
would have to consine itself to the
legitimate business affairs, IS its
dicta:iun OF financial policy Of the
government would be at IN end.
Just such . man as William Jen-
nings Bryan is needed in Washing
ton to restore pure, healthy Demo-
cratic atmosphere for the lungs Of
government to inhale and make it
healthy and vigorous once more
