GREAT is PENNSYLVANIA.
Will Leave New York With the
Largest Load Ever Known.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE new twin
screw freight and passenger steamer
Pennsylvania, of the Hamburg Ameri-
can line, will be placed in commission
tomorrow on the regular service be-
tween New York and Hamburg. She
will leave tomorrow with a full cargo.
carrying a total of 1880 tons measure
ment. This is the largest cargo that
was ever taken out of New York oil
one ship, or for that matter the great
est that any ship in any part Of the
world carries. To form an idea of the
enormous quantity which this amount
of freight represents. il is interesting
to note that it would take 617 ordinary
freight cars or about IS freight trains
TO transport it.
Among the miscellaneous cargo the
Pennsylvania carries 294, 069 bushels of
grain, equalling 6S, 457 tons, which is in
itself more than the average freight
steamer can take if completely filled.
The Pennsylvania, however, is con-
structed not only for the transporta-
ton of freight, but also of passengers.

There Seems to Be Nothing Too
Fiendish For the Men Who Are
Supposed to Uphold "Spain's
Honor and Chivalry."

Buffalo, Feb. 17.-Manuel Martinez, a
arrived from Pinar del Rio. Six months
ago he was a prosperous and well-to-
do merchant. Now he is almost pen
niless; nearly all of his family, peace
able people, have been killed by the
Spanish troops in cold blood. He, his
brother a sister, his cousins wife and
four little children escaped from the
island on Jan. q, through the kindness
of the American consul general, F'itZ-
hugh Lee.
on Jan. Is, without provocation, his
plantation was set on fire by the Span
iardS.
He says: 1.-THE houses in our neigh
borhood were surrounded by troops.
The fire was started in the rear. so
that the inmates of the house had to
choose between death by fire or by
bullets. If they tried to escape by the
street, the Spanish soldiers would shoot
them. Rather than be shot by a Span
ish bullet many remained in their
houses and were burned to a crisp.
My youngest sister, Maria, only 10
years of age, jumped from the third
story and was instantly killed. My
other sister, Louisa, 26 years of age,
tried to escape by leaping from a side
window on the second floor. She died
II days afterward from internal in
juries. Seven other families suffered
as did ours.
LAS soon as my brothers and heard
of the atrocity, we came at once from
Pinar del Rio. We had scarcely reached
the street when a volley was fired at
US. My brother FREDERICK and my
cousin were pierced through Sae heart.
Ruiz my youngest brother, and l sue
ceeded in making our escape unin-
jured. We went at once to Consul
General Lee, and through his kindness
and protection 1 succeeded in getting
my cousins wife, her four little chill
dren and my brother and sister to
Tampa, where they are now The day
my brother was shot, ten little children
were taken separately by the SDanish
guards held up in the air by two 9TH
ers, while a third came along with
machete and cut the little things in
two. Mothers, knowing that they, too,
would be killed. begged their deaths
should come before that of their chill
dren, but the brutes would not listen
to their entreaties. They cut the chill
dren to pieces.
The feeling in Cuba toward the peo-
pie of the United States is very kindly,
but the Cubans are not pleased with
the course taken by the present ad-

be powerless to avert, besides bringing
about a dynastic revolution in Greece.

Washington, Feb. IA favorable
report was ordered today by the house
labor committee on the Lorimer bill,
ITO prevent conspiracies to blacklist"
The fun text of the bill is herewith
given:
THAT any combination between two
or more persons or corporations. or any
person or persons with any corporation
running or operating any railroad,
steamboat or other transportation line
engaged in commerce between any of
the several states, or between this ma
ton and any foreign nation, or any
person or persons in the service Of any
such person or corporation so con-
cerned in such commerce, to prevent
the employment of any person or per
sons on such railroad or steamboat or
transportation line, by reason of par
ticipation in any strike or labor trouble
or membership in any lawful labor
union or organization, except in case
such person shall have been guilty of
some illegal act in connection with

an unlawful conspiracy against the

Section 2. That any person injured

ton hereof may sue in the district

States, or any state court of general
jurisdiction, and recover of any persons
or corporations concerned in such con-

ages may be recovered
The bill has received the Endorsement
of a number of chiefs of labor organ
iZations
MIR. p. NJ. Arthur, the chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
writing of the measure, says:
The great difficulty will be to prove
conspiracy, as there are so many ways
whereby general managers can pre-
vent men from obtaining employment
without being detected. However, if
the bill becomes a law, if it does
nothing more it will tend to make them
more careful in the future than they
have been in the past in following
men from one road to another
