SPANISH cRuELrY oHAReEp.
A Cuban Letter Received In Philadel-
phla Alleges Cases of Great
Barbarity.

Philadelphia, May Authorization has
been received here from MatanEas, Cuba,
which alleges barbarity and inhuman
means as employed by the Spanish SOL
diers against the Cubans. The letter con-
tanning the Information was dated May
3. and reached the city through private
sources.
The letter states that sixty-four non
combatants-men, women and children
were met by a Spanish column under
Colonel Aldea, in the town of Savanilla,
near Matanzas, and fired upon by his
orders. Twenty-seven were killed In
stantly and the rest fled into a cane field,
which was set on fire by the troops ana
all perished in the flames, the bodies
being left as food for the buzzards.
Another case has been cited. It was
that of two bodies of white men which
were found on the shores of Matanzas
bay, These bodies were dashed together
and there was unmistakable evidence OF
their having been killed by machetes.
The writer points out that the men were
political prisoners. confined in San Sc
verlno castle, where assassinations OF
this kind are said to be carried on al
most nightly, and bodies cast into the
sea have been found with weights attach
ed to their feet
In the case in point the writer says the
weights must have become loosened and
the bodies tloated ashore. In case
before this It is stated that fishermen
brought up In their nets bodies tied to-
gether with weights, and since ther
fishing has been prohibited any where
near that fort
Atitdavits to all these cases are In pos.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION CANNOT
FIX RATES.

Railway age.
II is again judicially declared that the
Interstate commerce commission has no
power TO tx rates OF transportation.
The latest decision Is that rendered on
the ilth by the United States circuit
court az Philadelphia, Judge Acheson. in
the case brought by the commission, as
long ago as ISIS, against the Lehigh VAL
Icy Railroad Company. Coke Bros &
Co, a firm OF shippers. complained that
the railroad charged them unreasonable
rates. The commission investigated, de-
cided that the rates were unreasonable
and In March. 1891. issued an order hx-
ing certain rate per ton, and on the
failure OF the railroad company to obey
the order the commission applied to the
court for an injunction against turther
violation and for enforcement OF the or
der. The railroad company denied thar
the rates were unreasonable or unjust
and also denied the power OF the COM
mission TO fix rates, and both denials
have been sustained by the decision.
Judge Acheson refers to the fact that
since this case was begun the supreme
court had decided In the case Of the Gin
cinnatl. New orleans 4 Texas Pacific,
where the interstate commission under
took TO iix the rate on the transhorta-
ton OF buggies from Cincinnati to At
lanta. that the act Of congress does not
confer such power. In that decision,
rendered by Judge shlras, the supreme
court said:
Subject to the two leading prohibit
tions that their charges shall not be
unjust or unreasonable, and that they
shall not unjustly discriminate, so as TO
give undue preference or disadvantage
TO persons or traffic similarly circum-
stnnced, tho act to regulate commerce
leaves common carriers as they were at
the common law, free TO make special
contracts looking TO the increase OF their
business, to classify their traffic, to adj
lust and apportion their rates, so as TO
meet the necessities OF commerce, ana
generally to manage their important in
terests upon the same principles which
are regarded as sound and adopted In
other trades and pursuits"
Judge Acheson concludes his opinion
by saying;
"These views OF the supreme court
decislvely show that the Interstate COM
merco commission is not clothed with the
power TO fix rates which II undertook
to exercise in this case. The petition
OF the Interstate commerce commission
must be dismissed"
1t Is to be observed that although con-
gress did not empower the commission
to make rates, the courts do not say that
II might not have exercised that power.
Some OF our state legislatures have as
sumed this authority, but even then the
courts have accorded the railways a
measure OF protection by holding that
the rates fixed must allow reasonable
profit, and refusing TO confirm unreason-
ably low rates. In this case the COM
missions action would have been con-
demned even II Its power had been ad-
mitted

Scene Of Civil Strife.
Saratoga, May 22.-The Presbyterian
General Assembly broke up at 5 O'Clock
this afternoon in confusion in the midst
OF vote on the resolutions OF the spe-
cial committee on the relations OF young
peoples societies TO the church. Reso-
lutions had been adopted that a state
ment OF the relations be sent TO the sep
arate societies to be read by them, af-
iirming the action OF the assembly OF
1884 The former Recommendation was
reached only after long discussion ana
under the operation OF the previous Ques-
tion.
Just at the hour for adjournment
motion was made to strike out the other
recommendations OF the committee and
to discharge it. Action on this motion
was only prevented by the abrupt an
nouncement Of the ce-moderator. DR..
Benjamin L. Agnew. OF Philadelphia,
that the hour for the session had ex-
pired and that the assembly stood ad-
journed. One Recommendation of the
committee was entirely eliminated, after
an animated discussion and division. 1t
related to the formation Of Presbyterian
unions of young peoples societies in all
Presbyteries. The action in this direc-
ton was due to the belief that the plan
as proposed would seriously interfere
with the present interdenominational as
sociatlons and cooperation. rt
