Key West, Fla, April 27.-(By mail
from Havana, April 25)-While Del
gado, the American, is slowly con-
valescfng from wounds inflicted on
him by Spanish soldiers under Gen,
Melqui2o's bidding, several weeks ago,
the brutal Spanish officers are stiu
butchering people in Havana province.
Although official investigation shows
that Melquizo is guilty of all charges
against him, he has not been suspend,
ed from his command. He is said to
possess enough influence in Madrid to
make it exceedingly uncomfortable for
any superior officer who might en-
deavor to bring him to punishment.
News received here tells of his con-
duct during the past 2 weeks. Near
Camp Florido, so the information runs,
Melquizo arrested nine peaceable coun-
trymen and by his orders they were
killed. At Mines, nineteen "Pacifcos"
fell into his clutches and were shot
near Bainoa. He razed ten farms and
gathered in forty laborers, who were
killed in cold blood.
The most horrible phase of the last
butchery is the fact that women and
children were among those massacred.
In the vicinity of JarucO, Melquizo or
dered the slaughter of forty-seyen
persons who were taken from fields
where they were at work.
In Melquizo's territory the people are
flocking to Havana to escape him.
