NEW YORK. Oct. 3O-A copyright dis
patch to the Herald from Havana, says:
The outgoing authorities have struck
heavy blow at autonomy by permitting Ito
use an unprejudiced world the killing of
General Castillo. General Castillo was not
killed In open fight; he was betrayed by a
CUBAN guide, who was captured by the
Spaniards on last Friday and shot on Mon
day morning. 1t was more satisfactory to
shoot Castillo than to treat him as a pris-
oner of war. Castillo commanded Havana
province and was beloved as an able and
brave general by every Cuban under arms
His killing will arouse a desire for revenge
that at the present juncture will tend TO
prevent acceptance of any autonomy by the
rebels With an escort of seven men Castillo
was lying i'll with fever in a secluded spot.
