1 LONDON, July 1s, 1ss7.-The Globe
commenting on Japan's attitude toward
Hawaii, says
The Japanese know precisely the
strength of the American navy and are
perfectly aware Of their own superiority.
1t does not require the knowledge Of an
expert to foresee that in an ocean con-
fict the United States would make a
poor showing. 1t is morally certain that
the Japanese ships would ravage the
Pacific Coast if the United States once
became involved in hostilities with Japan.
1nsthat event Spain would have an OPP
portunity of which she would hardly fail
to take advantage.

HAVANA, CUBA, May 5-Christina
Herrera, Cuban woman, was living with
her youthful son and two daughters in d
Cuban hospital, near Govea, this province,
where she acted as nurse. The hospital
was established by the Cuban leader, Bal
domero Acosta, for sick and wounded
Cubans. Acosta himself had the fever,
and, concealed between two hills, the
hospital was believed to be safe from the
Spaniards. Under that belief Acosta sent
mis- cousin to attack a Spanish column n,
which, as he was informed. would pass
some six miles from there. Only six
soldiers remained with Acosta in the hos
pital, and besides Christina Herrera and
her children there was another nurse and
about five women more, wives of soldiers.
A spy told the Spaniards OF the exist
ence OF the hospital, and a Spanish
column, 1000 strong, attacked the place on
April 2S Torres and his i've men, firing
rifles to advise Acosta of the proximity of
the enemy, fed 10 the forest.
Acosta, jumping out from his stretcher,
cried to the women to run with the
children, and stood in the door firing at
the advancing SpanIards. Acosta mar
rowly escaped, followed by those strong
enough to run, and four women also
gained the forest.
Marta Corrales was seized by two
Spanish soldiers, but snatched bayonet
from the belt of one and killed him.
Christina Herrera was caught by the
Spanish soldiers and driven back to tho
hospital to witness the fate of twenty sick
and wounded Cubans, who were ruth
lessiy slain. More than twenty periahed
/ in their beds, pierced by Spanish bayo-
nets. A Spanish soldier, a young man
from Ponteyedra. GaIicia. who refused to
join in the assassination and protested
against the crime, was shot dead by a
Lieutenant.
Most cruel in the work were the irreg u
lars of the guerrilla forces-common GRIM
in ais from Spanish penal colonies in Africa.
After the murders ano after the hos pi-
tai had been fired young girl of 10 years
was sold at auction. A captain won her
! for So and assaulted her. The child s
ID other unsuccessfully attempted to kill
herself and swooned. When she recov-
cred she was told that the child had dis
appeared. The mother is now in the
Havana prison for disreputable women.

tina Herrera in prison and published q
