A LETTER FROM MELTON.
The Young kansan Now In u Cuban
Prison Writes of the Horrors.

KEY WEST, Fla, June s.-A letter
has been received here from Owen
Melton, the young Kansan captured
IN the schooner Competitor and SEN.
fenced TO death in Havana, in which
he describes the ~barbaritics practiced
by Spaniards on prisoners confined Ia
Moro Castle and Fort Cabanas as fol-
lows: The world will never know
the barbaritics that are prHcticed by
the Spaniards on the SUSPECTS con
fined in Moro Castle and Fort
tabanaS. They are being tortured and
shot without trial almost daily. On
May 80 Faustrino Pardone, ~ years
old, was captured in the outskirts OF
Havana by Spanish gucrillas and
lodged in Cabanas. 1t was suspected
that the boy had been in communica.
ton witt the insurgents. To make
rarlone confess he was stripped and
suspended by the arms. while q Span
ish lieutenant whipped the boy on tho
bare flesh with u heavy whip Par
doue's back, shoulders and breast
were soon II bleeding pulp and he was
shricking in agony. Then the officer
asked Pardonc il he had done certain
things and in his terrible pain the boy
would scream yes, yes This was
written at the boys deposition. Such
things are of daily occurrence in tho
CabanuS.
AT night vollcys of musketry are
frequently heard. The next day the
prisoners know what these volleys
mean when they miss the faces OF well
known prisoners and from ten to ff.
teen are crowded in one cell.
"There are several Americans in
Cabanas, among them being the Amer
leans captured with the schooner Com
petitor. Part of these are in one cell
and part in another. Julio Sanguilly
is also imprisoned here. lie is given
a separate cell. Numbers of Cubans
have been found at their homes suffer
ing from wounds and have been
dragged awfully and thrown in the
dungeons of Fort tabanas.

will try To run the Republican con.
vcutiOn this year, and II will ~ usual,
fail. Mlior Mckinley is one Of those
men who do no not believe his judg.
mcnt should be taken againstth com.
bined wisdom of his party. Nobody
has spoken for him authoritativcly
on the currency plank, and nobody
will bc able to do 50, because he is
willing to trust the convention and
stand hy It's decision. The best judg-
ment of the whole party must prevail
in this matter.
There are not to exceed our
states which will insist on an IN.
ruuivocal declaration for the gold
standard. Thcsc states are New
Nork. Maine, Massachusetts and prob.
bly, New Jersey. In the same way,
mere are ABOUT " nli1 utScn SILVER

is protection Nou cannot tale the

the great issue, and whatever the Re-
Dublican convention adopts Us its

asserted that life is extinct.
The explanation is as follows: a
