Spanish soldiers. The massacre oc-

San lose de Las 7Layas, Havana prov
ince. A detachment of Spanish SOL
diers surprised six insurgents. who,
however, made their escape, which en-
ragged the Spanish. and they began to
raid the houses in the neignborhood,
alleging that the inhabitants were in
sympathy with the rebels.
The Spaniards went to the sugar es-
tate of Frederick L. Craycroft, who
came here from @Indiana about three
years ago. Some of the soldiers entered
the house, and two of them seized Mrs
Cravcroft and assaulted her. The hus-
band in desperation rushed to his wife's
aid, but was struck down by a sword in
the hands of an officer. Two terrible
gashes were made in his back and his
right arm was nearly severed.
The Spaniards looted the house. took
$50 in cash and then raided other
houses on the estate They burned
eight buildings and shot nineteen in
mates, four of whom were women.

at Havana. 1t is understood that the
vice-consul cabled an account of the out
rage to Secretary Olney.
The Spanish authorities in Havana
are greatly disturbed because several
thousand insurgents from Gomez's army
have been entering Matanzas province
So serious does Weyler consider the sit
uation that he has withdrawn 5000
troops from Pinar del Rio and dis
patched them info Matanzas to stay the
advance.
During the siege and subsequent cap
ture of Guayamara city by the insur-
gents, the Spanish lost 200 killed and
wounded. Three hundred and seventy
Spaniards surrendered to Caiixto Gar
cia, commanding the besieging force.
Garcia sent word to Gen. Castellano

Give the Team announcement Rather
Than Roast.
II there was ever a team unjustly roasted
1t is the Philadelphia team. One would
suppose from the rawlings Of the PhIladeI-
phia papers that it had not won a game

OF fact, 1t has increased it's percentage $50.
Nash has done better with the Philadel-
phtas than Irwin did last year, and he has
just the same material, with one or two
exceptions. Nash has introduced team
work, which was never practiced under Ir-
win, and. until several members of the
team were disabled, the team led the
league. But the absence Of Nash, Mailman.
Cross and Clements, owing to injuries re-

FORD'S EXECUTION,
The Murderer Getting Ready to Meet
His Fate.

Irwin Ford, the murderer of Elsie Kreglo
sentenced to be hanged the 18th of this
month at the District pail, is resignedly
awaiting his end. Conscious that there is
no way of escaping the punishment the
man calmly, and even patiently, looks for
ward to the day set for his execution as g
release from suffering. His only visitors
are his counsel, Messrs. Arthur Peter and
r. Newton Donaldson: his spiritual adj
wiser, the Rev. John Roberts, and his wife
and child. From their visits he receives
much consolation and satisfaction. He ap-
pears to have but two thoughts-the well
fare CT his wife and child and that of his
life beyond the grave.
Enable to read, Ford depends upon his
clerical visitor for all religious consolation
ard greatly enjoys his visits, the minister
reading tc him and praying with him daily
Inc murderer processes to feel that he has
or will be forgiven, and that he will cour-
ageously meet his fate. Yet, despite the
mans professions and the fact that he is
veritable physical giant. the Jail officials
are somewhat apprehenSive that he will
when the hour comes, weaken to an alarm
ing degree. for they believe that after all
the brute is coward and will go TO his
death in a cowardly manner.
Shortly after his trial the mans appetite
visibly failed, and it was feared that ne
would break down completely. But In a
few days his animal spirits revived to such
an extent tnat ne reSained his appetite and
has ever since then greatly enjoyed the
extra bill of fare invariably allowed con-
demned men by the prison officials. He has
very little to say and particularly avoids
conversing about his crime.
There has been a great demand upon
Warden Leonard for tickets Of admission
to the execution of Ford, but the warden
will strictly obey the law respecting the
matter, and the rumber of those who viii
witness the hanging will be limited to thoss
authorized to be present by law AT tha
last execution in the District fail the num-
Der of spectators was about thirty in ALL
and Mr.. Leonard is determined that the
number Of these present at Ford's depart
ure shall not exceed that number. If, in
deed, he does not keep it below that figure
Therefore, it is useless for people to apply
for admission. explained the warden to q
