A CUBAN SLICED TO DEATH.
Terrible Spanish Penalty for Refus-
ing 10 Beat His Mother.

Newark, o., Dec. I Charles Kline. IL
young man of Newark, who recently re-
turned from CUBA, told to-day n terrible
story Of Spanish cruelty. While travel
ing in the vicinity of Matanzas he was
arrested by Snanish troops and forced to
accompany detachment of cavalry to
Sagr la Grande, II nearby town, where
all the Inhabitants were driven like sheen
into the alisades for the ''reconcen-
trados.'
To fill the people with fear upon their
entrance to the town the captors shot /;
number Of the Cubans, and one officer,
to pick up % club aud beat an old woman,
evidently his mother, who was standing
nearby.
The young man hesitated, then re-
fused. Promptly one of his fingers was
chopped Off. Again he was ordered but
the second time he refused. Off came
another finger. The third refusal cost
him an arm. and ten minutes later the
poor fellow was put out of his agony by
the sword
The inhabitants Of Sagula Grande ere
marched to Matan2as, and the first night
on the road Kline saw the most sickening
sight of his life
Every woman in the party was forced
TO remove her clothing, and all were
treated to the most brutal assaults. The
slightest resistance on the part Of any
one meant either death or friohtful
wound. Many of the young girls suffered
the severest tOrtures rather than submit
to the demands OF the captors.
At Matanzas Kline gave satisfactory
account of himself and was allowed to
go He saw people dying from starvation
in great numbers, and saw one woman
boiling banana Feelings making soup for
two crying children, and at one time he
saw u won an Rolling shoe with the
hope of getting some nourishment for a
baby.

some--parts of the United States, -recog-
nizing this fact, have controlled by statute
the question of fellow service, upon
which.point hinged the decision in the
case above referred to-
The present statute provides that
