Not According To Rules OF War.

I Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-The Commercial
iTribunes special from Key West says:
A letter from Matanzas tells of the
cruel butchery Of a camp Of pacificos by
q band of Spanish guerillas, under Ma
jor Constartes. The pacifioos were en-.
camped near a lake. 10 miles south Of
Matanzas. They were afraid to come in
to that city because of smallpox and
other diseases were so prevalent. Major
Consartesi was sent to bring them in.
Surrounding the camp, his soldiers burst
In upon them with wild cheers, shooting
as they advanced. Five fell at the first
FIRE, two being women. Alarmed and
scarcely knowing what to do, the. others
dashed into the shallow waters of the
lake, endeavoring to hide under the
leaves of the big lily and other leaved
plants. The Spanish troops selected
their human targets and coolly began
shooting them and killing at every shot
The screams and agonlzed entreaties Of
the poor frenzied wretches were terrible
Some soldiers threw down their guns
and refused TO fire. The offers OF the
Cubans to surrender were refused with
shouts of derision, and the butcher
ceased when not head was visible.
Major Consartes' official report stated
that his detachment had been attacked
at the lake. At
