MANY SPANISH WERE SLAIN.
Rebcls Play IL Questionable
Trick on Their Spanish

Key West, Fla, Oct. G.-rhe insur-
gent leader Nunez of Matanzas, and
Castillo of Havana provinces, played n
trick last week upon some innocent
Spanish officers which resulted in the
slaughter of nearly 100 Spanish SOL
diers and the wounding of double thai
number.
Nunez sent word to Weyler that he
was ready to surrender himself and
entire force if he was assured of a par
don for past otiense. He asked that u
htary escort be sent to receive him
+ and his men, designating a point
just over the Matanzas border for the
surrender. Colonel Aguelle was at
once dispatched by Weylcr with 1000
men and arrived at the Canasi river
last Wednesday. Crossing the Canasi
he was attacked by General Castillo
and his command cut to pieces.
An emphatic denial is made in Ha-
vana, as well as in Santiago de Cuba of
the statements in the imaginative
sketch sent out by a Spanish attache
representing n news association, in
which the Cuban c%onquerors of Las
Innas are represented as burning,
broiling, roasting and eating their
male and female and infant victims.
La Lucia has received an official de-
NAL of this story and the report of the
c%ommandant shows that he received al
the patients who were in the hospital
in Tunas, as well as those injured in
the fight. The only men who were
killed after the Cubans entered the
town were guerillas, who were tried
and sentenced to death for taking part
IN hospital raids.

a great number of farmers are COM

new homes, and with their herds are
compelling the stock companies to
seek larger range for their immense
herds. The state will suffer no LIS !,

there being one hundred stock com
