CUBAN CRUELTIES.
BOTH SIDES GUILTY OF OOwARDLY
ASSASSINATION.
1t Was on This Account Grant Favored
Intervention -Weyler Loses Ground.
More Troops Must Come.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The World
this morning says:
TAMPA, Fla, May pa tobac-
co merchant, who has just returned
from Havana, says of the condi-
ton in Cuba: at goes against the
grain to credit all the stories that
have reached Havana OF the cruel
ties in the interior, yet many OF
these stories are true. Anyone who
has been able to get out into the field
of warfare has brought back con-
firmation OF the reports which
have crept into the city under
ground.
"Some OF these slaughters have
been wholesale. In some instances
they have taken the form Of execu-
tions without trial of one or two
sympathizers OF the rebellion. In
other cases they have been single
assassinations. These killings are
justified on the ground that al
legged non-combattants are not
such, but in fact are pillagers, de.
stroyers or actual participants with
the rebels. No nation has recog-
nized the belligerency of the Gu
ban rebels.
sit is only just to say that it is
the volunteers rather than the reg
ular Spanish soldiers who are
guilty of these excuses. 1t Is true,
also, that the shedding Of blood Of
non-combatants is not confined to
the Spanish troops. In Pinar del
Rio there is a revel Of death in
which Maceo's troops as we'll as
the Spanish volunteers are prime
figures. The rebel chief dominates
in that province through fear. His
edicts have gone forth with the
penalty of death attached, and vio-
lation of these edicts have been fol-
lowed with full fiedged punish
ment. The insurgents, it is said,
hang those whom they condemn
rather than put them to the ma
Ghetto. This is the character Of
the war now being waged in Cuba.
1t presents the same questions OF
humanity which led Gen. Grant to
propose Intervention in the revo-
luton of 1868. The Cubans show
no signs OF yielding, Indeed they
gain strength daily. They flaunt
the Spanish at their very defence
along the troacha. Confessedly,
Gen. Weyler must bring more men
from Spain to enter upon an often.

Mr.. Richardson says: "We have

right here we are daily finding the
large and small fragments OF old

OXFORD, Mich, May 26.-From
reports that continue to come in
from adjacent points the full force
of the fierce wind that swept this
part OF Oakland county is begin
ming to be apprehended. There is
everywhere devastation and vii
lagos desolated. The death roll in
this vicinity may run to the loo
mark. At lakewood, hamlet 81
miles north of Oxford, having a
population of about 200, not a
house is left standing. The path
of the storm is between one-half
and three-fourths OF mile wide,
and it extended in nearly a straight
course eastward for over distance
of 80 miles.

THE LAURIDA'S CRUISE.

New YORK, May 26.-The Her.

Laurida's trip to Cuba, from Its
special correspondent, who accom-
panied the expedition. 1t is dated
May l6.
"On board the Laurids, of the
coast Of Cuba: The Cuban filibus-
tering expedition which left the

of May 9th on the British steamer
Lsurida, has just reached its des-
tination. The men and munitions

we were steaming down Long

ammunition, and the other carry.
ing 900 pounds of dynamite. A
tug followed us as far as He'll Gate
aud then dropped out Of the chase.
She was thought to be chartered
by Spanish officials or their detec-
tives.
"Capt. Jonny was in charge OF
our tug. When we were just inside
Montauk steamer bore down on
US. By 2 o'clock in the afternoon
she was alongside Of us and in
very little more than an hour,
the cargo of arms and ammunition
was transferred to the steamer.
Several of the party had been on
board the Inflated Hawkins which
went down last winter, and on the
Bermuda when she made her first
unsuccessful attempt as a fillibust-
er. Among these was Captain
Bueno. Ninety-two Cubans had
been gathered and with a few
black servants we numbered about
100 men. Most Of them are, Of
course, Cubans. A few are old
veterans of the last revolution, but
the majority are young men who
have been educated in, or escaped
to, the United States for the pur.
pose Of joining the expedition.
"The Laurida's cargo consists OF
800 rifles with $4,000 rounds OF
ammunition, 1000 pounds Of dyna'
mite, two electric batteries and a
quantity of insulated wire, saddles,
medicine chests, etc. Gen. Roiz
was in command.

Western senatorial District
Topeka, Kan. May 3O.-A dispatch
from Larned last night says:
The senatorial convention which COM
pleted its labors here yesterday by the
nomination of John S. Simmons as the
Republican candidte for state senator
In the Thirty-eighth district, presented
several peculiar features not often de-
veloped in any kind OF a convention. In
the first place, the vote was more even

for the nomination than was ever be-
fore known in this state. the vote stand

kins and % for Simmons.
From the very start it was evident
the Hopkins strength could not be
swung 10 Watson, and il was equally
evident that Watson could not deliver
any considera bic portion OF his strength
10 Hopkins. 1t thus developed that the
Simmons delegation must be broken up.
and the managers of both the other
candidates combined for that purpose
with the knowledge that neither of
their men could be nominated unless
this was ACCOMPLISH ed, each trusting TO
fortune for the nomination Of their fay-
brite when Simmons forces broke.
But after many hours of hard work
the Watson and Hopkins managers
found that simmons strength could not
be induced 10 leave him, and being I'M
able TO combined their own forces and
form wtnn'bS combination each Of his
opponents managers began 10 dicker
with Simmons on the sly for the deliv-
~
nomination OF the gentleman from Lane

and a district judgeship kept the bal

about 5 o'clock Thursday morning.
