Spanish Atrocities in Cuba.
(The Morning Advertiser

Nlhe Morning AdvertiSer)
rms extract from the Heralds cable
from Havana under date of the 4tb
gives some idea of the butcherics that
Spain is committing in Cuba and call
ing 1t war. while refusing to recognize
tne technical belligerency of the army
that IS actually fighting 1er:
Among the pacificos killed hy the
spanish troops under General Mel
nuizo. on March 90. on the Garridn es-
tate, near Bainoa We're Crescence
Noble and his wife, Rita Fermin Telle-
ciea, Andres Perozo. thirteen wears
oiu' Euseblo Gonzalez. Pedro Portril-
ier, eighty years: cooper employed
on the plantation, Nicholas Castro and
ms stepson. six years old. All except
castro and his stepson we're mulatto
or negro colonos on the Garrido estate.
PEDRO Portriller. the octogenarian. was
taken to the railroad station bv Mel
qulzos guide and there bcheaded with
the machete in cold blood. Castro's
little child was found in n hut by a
soldier. who said: This is a Young
rebel, too; better nip him in the bud"
He then beheaded the child. This
Garrido exploit was the affair for
which the Queen has cabled consratu-
'atlng Melquizo upon his deed of
arms. OF course nobody supposes
that the Queen was permitted to know
the true nature of the exploit. Noble
and his wife. their friends say. were
American citizens, but cannot find
record of them in the consulate.
After the Spanish butchers begin to
behead octogenarians and infants in
the cradle it ought not to be long until
the United States or some other nation
interferes in the interest of humanity

A contest that has been in progress
Tor some months past, and in which
widespread interest has been taken
throughout the State. has been brought
to close by the appointment by the
Governor. of Hon. Leroy T. Carleton OF
winthrop. as Commissioner of Inland
Fisheries and Game for the State of

The canvass. although marked by
spirited rivalry has been conducted
along friendly lines. and on the part of
the several candidates has been free
from aught that would be unworthy of
gentlemen honorably striving for the
desired goal. Each of the candidates
received creditable support and as nee
essarily blanks must be drawn by
some, those so favored will endeayor
10 acquiesce gracefully in the result.
AS indicative of the interest shown
throughout the State in the canvass
now terminated the Executive has been

dence perhaps never equalled in the
history of the commonwealth.

Washington, March 19.-The regular
weekly meeting of the Venezuelan boun-

government. and mass of matter coll
lected directly by the commission through
the state department. the librarian of con,
gress and several expert geOgraphers, who
have been engaged in that work. The
matter has necessarily been parcelled out
among the individual members of the com
mission for study, and at the session to-
| day' there was comparison of results sc
| far obtained. This work is expected te

court here today, The court was
crowded in the expectation that there
would be sensational developments.
Millikcn pleaded not guilty and there

lined their course.
District Attorney Bierney said that he
would prove that Milliken called at Judge
Phillips house on the night of July last;
that Miss Phillips refused to see him and
sent him down Il number of gifts he had
presented to her.
Milliken went away, and about l
O'Clock the next mornihg Miss Philips
was awakened by II slight noise and an
odor of what she thought was chlOro-
form.
The government contendcd that rs the
door was locked Milliken must have en-
tered the room early. The screams of
his daughter aroused Judge Phillips and
he found Millikcn on the roof of Il rear
shed.

counsel for the defense, cOntcndcd that
Millikcn was not III mental or physical
condition to have committed the olfense
charged. There was no intention, he
said, to reflect ON Miss Phillips charac-
