Captured Pacifico Girls on the Block Auc-
toned On to Soldiers.
HAVANA, May ga sale of Cuban
girls has been reported at small town
in Pinar del Rio, where there is gar
rison of 400 troops. The soldiers seized
a pacifico camp recently, capturing
eight men and 15 girls and women.
Seven of the girls, Is to 20 years old,
were put on the block and sold un-
der the most revolving circumstances
to the highest bidder, the soldiers
sacrificing their arms and equipments
to their more fortunate fellow sol
diers for cash to purchase girl. One
of the sergeants acted as auctioneer.
Two of the prettiest girls, one Is, the
other II, were sold to one man, a mule
driver. AS he had no means some
curiosity was expressed as for whom
he was acting. It was discovered after
ward that the girls were in the quar-
tiers of Col Jesus del Monte and Capt.
Arizor, the commanding officers of the
place.
The Havana papers have denounced
this outrage, and say that the palace
officials should put a stop to this prac-
tice. It is stated among the America n
colony that United States Commission
er Calhoun has been informed
of these and similar practices.
and that, much to the worry OF
the Spanish officials, he is collecting
evidence upon this subject. He has
already been given sufficient evidence
to prove the existence of many horri
BILE practices on the part of the Span
ish officers as regards their conduct
toward the Cuban women.
