THE MOST SICKENING SPEC
TACLE IN MODERN TIMES.
Five Cubsns strangled to Dsath-The Ex-
ecutioner Iortures the Victims by
HIS Distressing Awkwardness

Havana. March 31.-Never In mod
ern times has there been a more sick
ening spectacle than that which to-day
attended the public execution of FIVE
Cubans, condemned to death by the
garrote as "murderers, violators and
incendiaries." The troops were drawn
up in a hollow square and In the mid
die were placed the chair and post.
Ruise. the public executioner. had dep
utized an assistant TO conduct the af-
fair. The condemned men were brought
into the square t0rmeet their fate. one
had confessed his guilt and affirmed
the innocence of all others. who also
protested they were guiltless.
The first man dook his seat I'm the
chair calmly. the iron collar was fixed
about ais neck and the cap drawn over
his face. The executioner undertook
TO apply the screw. but was 50 excited
his hand slipped repeatedly and the vic
tim died by slow s.rangulation. emit
ting the most distressing cries. The
second execution was accompanied with
even more distressing awkwardness,
the executioner being almost on the
verge OF collapse. The protests OF off,
GERS and priests forced Ruise-t TO under
take the third execution. But he did
little better than his assistant had
done. Then Ruise literal y fled from his
post. leaving his assistant to put TO
death the fourth and nth unfortunate
Cubans. who suffered the same agonlz-
ing experiences as their fellows.

Capetown. March 31.-The agent Of
the chartered company has been duly
authorized to raise an additional force
OF 500 men, but though the men are
available, arms, ammunition and horses
are wanting. The whole of the country
outside of a radius of about IL miles
around Buluwayo is in a state of open
insurrection and the Matabeles and
other natives are 1ocking to the Mato-
po hill. where the son of the late King
Lobengula is said to have been raised
to his fathers rank with much cere-
mony. preparatory to taking command
OF the army of insurgent natives flock
inc to the hills from all parts. The
vicinity of Buluwayo is kept clear OF
rebels by the white scouts, but Il is be-
lieved that the natives are being kept
fully Informed of all that is going on
and nobody now doubts that the root
of the trouble is at Pretoria, and that
Berlin is kept well informed regarding
the progress of the uprising. Advices
from the Transvaal show that the
work of preparing for war is being con-
tinued there night and day. Gangs OF
men relieve each other at intervals in
the work upon the armored forts de-
signed TO protect Pretoria. the plates
for which have been furnished by the
Cruesot works and the guns OF the
great Krupp firm OF Germany.
The drilling OF artillery men under
German officers goes on openly every
day. There is no longer any conceal
ment in the preparations being made.
The foreign legion, composed almost
entirely of Germans who have recently
entered the Transvaal. is organized.
This force will be mostly infantry and
artillery. the Beers being relied upon
TO furnish all cavalry necessary. The
general opinion expressed here Is that

mates the serious state Of affairs which

Dupont's Case and the Postoflice Appro
priation BILL the Features.

Washington, March SLATER brief at
tention to routine business the senate
proceeded to the consideration Of the Du-
pont election case and George took The
floor in opposition to the claim of Dupont
for the seat in the senate from Delaware.
The speech was mainly a legal argument.
George had not finished when at 4 o'clock
he yielded and the postoffice appropria
tion bill was taken up.
PETER announced that he would defer
until tomorrow his motion to take up
the resolution for senatorial inquiry as q
the recent bond issue.
In the postoffice appropriation bill the
amendment appropriating sl2,SlS.5S0 Cor
the delivery system had added TO IL the
provision that no part of the sum should
be used for payment OF postoffice inspec-
tors. The amendment giving $4,000 adSi-
tional compensation to the Oceanic
Steamship company for carrying DE
mails from San Francisco to Hawaii AMI
other points aroused opposition from
Villas. Allison explained that the m
crease was required in order to offset the
competition of the subsidized Canadian
line
Villas said the mail subsidy syst-rr Rad
entirely failed an giving mora expeditions
or better mail service and in extending
American shipping. while IL had greatly
increased the cost of the postal service.
The senator said he had special interest
in this subject, because he had resisted,
while he was postmaster general. the IN
auguration of mail subsidies.
Perkins supported the amendment and
spoke of the large subsidies paid Cana
dian lines with view to monopolizing
the trade from the orient. England to-day
is striving to secure complete control of
the commerce of the Pacific. 1T is
shame and a reflection on American pa
triotism," said Perkins, that we stand
idly by while England absorbs this vast
trade"
White said the service could not con-
tinue unless additional compensation was
given. The Oceanic line was the only
American one with ships sailing south of
the equator.
Villas demanded a roll call on the SUBJ
sidy item, but further proceeding was cut
off by adjournment at o'clock
