REAL NICE PEOPLE.
A Fair Illustration of Present Life in
Cuba.

A dispatch from Key West says: A
L ,cent massacre by General Melquizo's
troops IN the western part of Cuba Is
described in a letter received here
today from a Cuban leader, in little
hamlet forty miles north of Pinar Del
Rio. There were about 70 people who
lived in the town. They lived from
hand to mouth, having few cattle and
some small cane fields and truck farms
Spanish guerrillas. commanded by
Pierronto, visited the place fortnight
ago. All of the people were arrested
and searched for valuables, two men
and some girls being subjected to in
dignities. Not finding as much as
they wanted. the guerrillas shot two
young men, pretending they were
Spanish deserters. Six of them were
tied to trees and horribly whipped,
being accused of sending Information
to the insurgents. Some of the older
men were beaten and otherwise NAL
treated. Two young men were tied
to trees, their backs were
barred and the lash applied
numerically because they resisted the
soldiers dishOnOrable advances. The
screams caused the others to attack the
guerrillas with clubs. The guerrillas
easily beat them off and fired indis-
crjminately among them, killing fifteen
or twenty old men and women and two
children. The others escaped, though
the Spanish guerrillas fred on them as
long as they were in sight. The guer-
rillas fired the houses, throwing the
dead bodies into the burning buildings,
drove off the cattle, destroyed the
crops and tramped their horses over
the potato patches so that nothing in
the way of food could be had. The
women who were whipped, wero left
tied to the trees. Had not several of
the fugitives returned after the guer-
rillas had gone and liberated them, they
would have died of exhaustion. Those
poor people left without food or shelter
took up their abode in the foot hills,
building themselves huts of branches
and leaves. Some have died from ey-
posture and not more than thirty of the
seVeDty-fve now survive.

HOW POPULISM HURTS.

Senator Allen, of Nebraska, tries to
make the country believe that the pop
ulist party of his state is composed of
men who understand quite we'll the in
volatility of all contracts as well as the
sacredness of public and private prop
erty and the rights of citizens. In fact,
he says, that party twas not born to
destroy, but to build up and make more
secure the rights of all. and to give to
all that full measure of justice which
their position as members of society
entities them to"
This is very nice talk, but 1t will not
deceive anybody. Everybody believes
the rank and file of the populists are
honest people, who really, though fool
ishly think that their party, if permit
ted to gain control of the government,
would "build up and make more secure
the rights of all, " but sensible persons
know that no good can come from any
such source. They see that the popu-
list leaders are, almost without
exception, shifty, narrow and scrupul-
Gus persons, and, of course, they know
that these tricky bosses and not their
honest but visionary and fanatical
followers are going to run any conmu-
nifty which comes under the blight of
populist sway. In the. entire history of
the United States no other party has
ever arisen which has had anything
like the number OF squabbles among
its leaders which have occurred among

YEsTERDAYsRALLY AT BETHANY

I'D EllDA > uAl-l1l Al DE- nan
Special rally services were held at
Bethany Baptist Church yesterday
morning, and were largely attended.
The church was beautifully and pro-
fusely decorated with chrysanthemums,
clematis and potted plants, by the
flower committee of the Young Peoples
Union The special object in view was
the raising of a $500 floating indebt-
edness, an accumulation of two or three
years Of hard times. On the platform
and resting on easels were four neat
frames, each inclOsing $50 squares al
together representing $500. in 1000
shares of so per cent. each. After a few
Introductory remarks by the pastor in
which he said that this was the first
time in a period of twelve years it had
been necessary to make any special aD-
peal to raise money for a deficit on cur
rent expenses, subscriptions were taken
and as they were secured the corre-
spending number of shares for each sub
scriber was erased from the frames. In
a short time about $500 was raised and
sufficiently added to it in the evening
to give encouragement that the whole
amount will be raised by personal So
/ licitation of the members and friends
not present at the services. At the
Bible day exercises i'm the Sunday
school in the afternoon about S62

coon WORDS FROM JUDGE TRF

GOOD WORDS FROM JUDGE TREE.
Ex-Judge Lambert Tree, of Chicago,
who has Just returned from am extern
sive trip through Europe has given oul
a statement which will bring JOY to the
heart of every friend of struggling
Cuba. lie says he is thoroughly com
WINGED of the justness OF Cuba's cause
and OF the moral obligation resting
upon the United States TO recognize its
independence. His travels have given
him an opportunity of looking upon
the matter from the standpoint OF an
observer belonging to a country that
can have no possible interest in the
subject except one of right and human
ity He, therefore, speaks with the
greatest freedom for the liberty OF
Cuba. He is convinced that the island
can never be subdued by Spain, and
that there Is NO possibility of war
against the United States in Spain's
present financial condition. Moreover,
Judge Tree is convinced that the
United States has done its full duty by
Its treaty obligations in placing all the
resources OF its government at It's dis
posal to punish those even Of Ameri-
cas- own citizens who offend against a
friendly nation in time OF peace Now
no course is open, in his opinion, but
for the United States to recognize the
independence of Cuba.
Ex-Judge Tree is in no sense an en-
thuslast, but his sound sense and i'm
partial observation have convinced
him that Cuba must be free.
