Treacherous killing of Gen. Castillo
by the Spanish.
New York, Oct. pa dispatch to the
Herald from Havana from Key West
says: The outgoing authorities have
struck a heavy blow at autonomy by
permitting Ito use an unprecedented
word) the killing of Gen. Castillo. He
was not killed in open fight; he was be-
tra5ed by a Cuban guide and was cap
tured by the spaniards on last Friday
and shot on Monday morning. 1t was
more satisfactory to shoot him than TO
treat him as prisoner of war. Castillo
commanded Havana province and was
beloved as an able and brave general
by every Cuban under arms. His kill
ing will arouse desire for revenge
that at the present juncture will tend
to prevent acceptance of any autonomy
by the rebels. *
