HAVANA, Oct 8, via Tampa. Fla.
Oct. 5.-Since September 25 the rebels
remain in the outskirts of GuanabacO
ana the VibOra (beyond Jesus del Monte.
Havana SIburbs) firing at the forts of
both places. This is reported by span
lsh officers, but not published In the pa
pels. No news whatever of the rebels
can be published Only the reports Civ
en- by the censor can be published. The
censorship is stricter than ever, proof
that things ar0 not favorable to the gov
eminent.
The office Of chief of police, CORES
ponding to colonel of the army. has
been given to Commander LaBerra. be-
cause no colonel of the army has been
willing to accept the Office under the
conditions of dishonesty and cruelty i'm
posed by Captain General Weyler. Awful
crimes are committed every night by order
OF LaBarera and Gov, Porrua, who is
the same type as LaBarrera.
Every night at the police headquarters
some prisoners are taken out and put on
the books as released. These Individu-
ais are guarded by one ''celador" (police
delegate) and two policemen and taken
between ! and O'Clock a. m. to land
ing place at the entrance of the 2arbor
two blocks from the police headquarters
Once there, the prisoners and the three
policemen step in boat and start off:
they don't land anywhere, but after
awhile the officers come back without
the prisoners. This action has been
watched night after night.
From September l to September 26
slxty-three prisoners have disappeared
IN this way, drowned outside the Morrow
Castle.

been sold to Cohen & Co., of New York,

$4,000, or over $500 to the acre.-Q~iuoy
