Il was surprised on the following
Wednesday morning 10 near shots, as
Of several yolleys Of muskery. About
300 soldiers. infantry and cavalry,
were in fact out, having surrounded
my house. Soon ny son appeared,
and, under command Of Captain Cerezo
Martinez, in most brutal and vulgar
terms, the captain ordered all in the
house 20 60 outside. The soldiers
rushed in and dragged me out BY the
collar. Ny wife, with her baby, was
taken out, rife being pointed at her
breast. 4 negro servant, who was
badly frightened, tried TO hide. He
was pulled 10 the front, and before
my eyes soldier struck him heavy
blow with mis- machette, cutting him
deep in the head, leaving a pool of
blood on the floor. An order was then
given to take into custody all the men
on the estate. Near a tree beyond a
hill, a hundred yards form the house,
l stopped about forty PAGES from the
others, TO talk 10 the captain who had
been at the house the week before. At
that moment young negro, Manuel
taoets, made dash TO escape. Some
cavalrymen rushed after him. firing.
He fell, and they mutilated his BODY.
taking out his eyes. The officer. en-.
ragged at the negroes fight, pulled out
MS sabre and shouted TO the others of
the party, Get down on your knees
They Obeyed, and he had them bound
and Kept in that position for a quarter
Of an hour. While l was talking TO
the captain my wife and 5.year.old
child were begging for mercy for me,
The cavalrymen helped themselves 70
corn for their horses, and finally
started. The officers told me that nv
nephew life and my own were spared
because We were Americans and thev
DID not want to get into trouble with
the United States. They ordered me
to San Miguel without waiting q
moment. Their explanation of the
raid was that the rebels fred upon the
troops and that they saw one man run
as ne hred, into my house, and, under
the majors instructions the whole
family should have been killed. An
ohcer OF high rank in the Spanish
army who passed my house after l left
came to me here and said: L know
"nat has happened. The man in com.
mand is unit to be an officer of Spain.
| heard that my men had been taken
INTO the Spanish camp and shot while
eating breakfast"
A struggle Imminent.
