bacoa By the Man Whom
Weyler Honors.

New York, Jan. 7.-Antonio Aguero,
A member of the Havana produce ex-
change, arrived here by the steamer
Orizaba from Havana. He was
resident of Guanabacoa, where, accor-
ding to recent reports from Havana,
atrocities were committed by the
Spanish troops under Col. Fondeviela.
Senior Aguero. when seen last night,
said:
"Phe reports which reached the Uni
ted States of the state of analrS IN
,Guanabacoa are far from telling the
whole truth. Col. Fondevefla has in
stituted a reign of terror at the place.
His name is we'll known to the Amer
lean press as that of the most blood
thirsty officer of. Gen. Weyler's COM
mand.
"He is a favorite of the captain gen
eral, and has been appointed military
commander of Guanabacoa just across
the bay from Havana.
Fully 300 families have left the
town and moved into Havana pro-
vince since his taking office People
are taken from their homes at night
and killed with machetes in the out
skirts of the city. The world is then
made to believe that such people We're
leaving their homes to join the rebels,
who swarm in the neighborhood.
Il know of so persons who have
thus been done away with. Even
honest SpaniardS are shocked at fon-
deveila's acts.
zone of those honest Spaniards
warned me that my name was on the
list with more than 200 more, kept
by Fondeveila, as men marked by
him for secret execution as rebel sym
pathizers. Being a thoroughly neu-
trail man and having good friends
among Cubans and Spaniards alike,
| managed to obtain my passports to
the United States.
Il owe my escape from FOndeveila's
clutches to my Spanish friends, for
whom feel the greatest gratitude.

THE COTTON MARKET.

New York, Jan. 7.-BusineSS on the
cotton exchange this morning was
quiet. Speculative interest was light
and easily satisfied. a decline OF to
1 points on the opening call was due
to disappointing English cables. The
discouraging condition of the print
cloth market at Fall River and the
lack of export interest in spot cotton
in the foreign market all add to the
general depression. Trading up to II
o'clock reached but 25.000 bales. At
that time the market was dull and I'M
changed from the opening.
