Cincinnati. Feb. 1.-THE Commercial.
Tribune's special from Key West says:
A letter from Matanxas tells Of the
cruel butchery of camp of pacificos by
q band of Spanish guerillas, under Ma.
jor Constartes. The pacificos were en-
camped near lake. 10 miles south. Of
Natanzas. They were afraid to come in
to that city because of smallpox and
other diseases were so prevalent. Major
Consartes was sent to bring them in.
Surrounding the camp, his soldiers burst
In upon, them Nth wild cheers, shooting
as they advanced. Five fell at the first
fire. two being women. Alarmed and
scarcely knowing what to do. the others
dashed into the shallow waters Of the
lake. endeavoring to hide under the
leaves of the big lily and other leaved
plants. The Spanish troops selected
their human targets and coolly began
shooting them and killing at every shot.
The screams and agonized entreaties Of
the poor frenxied wretches were terrible.
Some soldiers threw down their guns
and refused to fire. The offers OF the
Cubans to surrender were refused with
shouts OF derision, and the butchery
ceased when not q head was visible.
Major Consartes' official report stated
that his detachment had been attacked
at the lake.

of an ordinary description, last evening,
and. aside from a few drives from the
rear of the hall. which landed nowhere in
particular. he was not very wonderful.

But Lewiston. braced. and it was any

no let-up. Even in. those last few minutes
Augusta had the best of it.
1t wasn't that Lewiston played the
worse game by amy manner of means, for
they were all there, and made a hard
fight for It, all through. Broadbent hud

brilliant stops to his credit.
With Augusta two and for the most
part three goals ahead the game was,
notwithstanding. an exciting one and no
man could tell what was going to come.
Dawson as first rusher not only got the
majority of PUSHES from the able Tarrant
but kept the entire Lewiston team busy
looking out for his drives. He Gagged all
the goals for his side. and his defensive
work as usual was all there.
Turner was at his best. and again and
again worried around the big Furbush.

business, and got off easily with only one
foul. Perry carried the ball n number

passing with Barlow. was all right.
For Lewiston, Tarrant and Murphy
did the best work. and were active
enough. Connolly also played the game
for all he was worth. They simply
couldn't win that's all there was to it.
