tested in vain against the traffic in human
flesh. On learning this the bishop went
to the palace and protested so strongly
that he secured an order for the mayor
of Artemsa to recover the girls and de-
liver them to the Catholic authorities. The
bishop also demanded that Col. Estruch
be removed from command, but this was
refused. Col. Estruch, IL Will be remem-

ago, ordered the butchery of over 200 wo-

THE FLORIDA sES4ToRsHIr.
Some of the Features of the Fight
Against Gail.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE sena-
torial situation in Florida remains un-
changed, and, in spite of the rose-col-
ored reports sent out by certain enthusi-
astic correspondents, the defeat of Sena-
tor Wilkinson Call is by no means GER
tain. Too much stress has been laid upon
the alleged disorganization OF the Call
contingent; too little upon the condition
to which personal ambition and ill-con-
cealed Jealousy has reduced the party OF
the other part"
To the outsider--the political amateur
and casual observer-nothing seems clearer
than the leading position suddenly at

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS ON THE BLOCK
Cuban Maidens AuctiOned OF by the
spaniards at Artemisia.

From the Jacksonville Csla.) Times Union.
Key West, Fla. Feb. 12.-Even the news
papers of Havana are now admitting that
unparalleled atrocities are being perpe-
trated by the Spanish troops, the vic
tins in most cases being Cuban women
and children. According to La Lucha,
copy of which was received here by the
last Havana steamer, young Cuban girls.
taken prisoner by the spaniards. are being
auctioned off in various towns throughout
the island. the purchasers in nearly ev-
cry case being women of ill-repute and
notorious debauchees.
In the issue of la Lucha received here
the papers correspondent at Artemisia
gives an account of one of these sales at
that place. on Feb. 8, 1t is stated, that
the Spanish column commanded by Col.
Estruch returned TO Artemisia, after raid
ing a Cuban settlement near Cayatabos.
The settlement was destroyed, the houses
being put TO the torch and eighteen men
and five women killed. Eight women and
sixteen children were taken prisoners, and
tenisia. Ten of the children were girls,
ranging from 10 to IA years, and wen de-
veloped, as Cuban girls usually are at
AS soon as the troops reached Artemisia
il was announced that the girls would be
sold at auction on the next day. The sale
took place, as advertised. in the main
plaza of Artemisia, and a great crowd was
present. One of Col. Estruchs officers
acted as auctioneer, and he described the
good points of the girls as glibly as any
crer IN the slave mart of Constantinople
could have done, The bidding was of the
liveliost character, the women of Hire
pute and notorious debauchees contesting
for possession of the girls.
Nine OF the gir.s were knocked down
10 these characters, at prices ranging
from SIS TO $50, and then the tenth pris-
oner, who was about IA years Old and very
beautiful was put on tho slave block and
her good points narrated IN the most
shameless language by the auctioneer. The
bidding for this girl was most spirited,
but soon narrowed down to "A contest be-
tween one OF Col Estrueh's sergeants and

and soon the sergeant offered 500 for the

and the latter offered $40. This was too
much for tho demi-mondane and the girl

IL was known the latter had no money
