bans in this city say they have reports
of another Spanish butchery. From

Colonel Francisco de Paulo dashed
into San Miguel, Havana province,
Saturday night. The Spanish garrison
consisting of 600 men, withdrew with
out firing shot. The insurgents held
possession of the town for oyer three
hours, looting the stores, public build
ings and many residences. They cap
tured the mayor and forced him to de-
liver the tax money 10 his possession,
amounting to $500. After firing the
business part of the town and several
private houses, the rebels withdrew,
After the insurgents left the iuhabit-
ants busted themselves extinguishing
the flames. While thus engaged the
Spanish forces returned and opened
fire on them. Many of the inhabitants,
in their terror, rushed into burning
houses and were cremated.
The Cuban reports say 40 persons
were killed, IS OF whom were women
and children, and 60 others were

Since Bradshaw has been commit
ted to Jail things have been brought
to light thapprove him to have been
common thief, We announced
last week that Mr.. O. l. Hewes had
found his pair of harnesses at Brad
shaa's house. These were stolen
several weeks before his arrest. A
Mr.. Wright who lives near the top of
the mountain lost a harness some
time ago and found it at the same
time that Hewes' was found. Bad
shaw had been using this harness
every day and Wright had frequently
seen it, but had not recognized 1t
from the fact that the fellow had
wound some parts of it and covered
the buckles with sheepskin. 1t is re-
ported that at the time of his arrest
he was selling barrel Of -four to a
neighbor and had just opened one for
family use and then had six left.
Whether these were stolen or not has
not yet transpired. 1t is told by his
family that he was absent from home
three or four nights in Il week as a
regular thing. Evidently he has at
last got within one door of the right
place-state's prison.
AS to the stories about the chloro-
forming of different parties, that have
been published, and about which the
SITTER was thoroughly advised both
before and after the arrest, it is by
no means certain that this fellow did
it. Suspicion was directed in anoth,
er quarter up to the time of the de.
velopements Of week last. The
bad record then brought out is all the
evidence in the matter. There is nc
question that Bradshaw is guilty OF
enough, if be gets his deserts, to find
an abiding place for life and, under
all the circumstances, it is reason.
able to believe him guilty of this, bit
the proof does not exist. Upon the
theory that man is innocent until
proven guilty let him have the bene.
fit Of any doubt that may be in his
favor.

he was made third secretary Of state.
In 1878 he was sent to Japan as attache
of legation, and two years later he was
promoted to the position of secretary
of the legation at Montevideo. From
this on his fortunes were favored By
his government, which rapidly advanced
his interests. In 1880 he was made Sec
retary of legation at Buenos Ayres, and
one year later was recalled to Europe
to be made secretary of the legation at
Paris. In 1882 Senor de LONE was sent

In 1884 he was transferred as first Sec

among the readers of the SITTER who
cannot testify to this fact as memory

English writer. He had saved, when
a boy, little fortune in three bright
half pence. One day au afflicted beg

continues to attract attention. One
John O'Neil, disolute fellow, liv
lug within a hundred and twenty-five

IS set for next Thursday. The prin-
cipal evidence against him is the fact
that he had a ten dollar bill the rnsxt
day, something that he Was never
known to have had before. This
coupled with his known character and
the fact that Mrs. McCloud had
such a blli forms ground of suspi-
