General weyIer Uses the Torch on
Cuban Villages.
NEW YORK, Jan. PA special
from Key West, Fla, says: Spanish
guerriIIas surrounded Las Palmeras,
twenty miles south of Artemisa, at
midnight and fired all the dwellings
AS the inmates rushed out they were
shot down, women and children as well
as men. Many persisted in the flames
rather than face the Spanish bullets.
When morning came more than fifty
bodies were seen among the ruins. The
guerrilIas fled after looting the two
stores which the flames had spared.
A Cuban band, attracted by the fir
ing, came up two hours later and start
ed after the Spaniards. Catching up
to them a fight ensued and out OF sew
enty guerriIlas thirty-five only escaped.
General Weyler has burned four VII
lagos since starting out, warning the
people TO move to the larger places,
which are garrisoned.

Terrible Results Follow the Poisoning
or n Well I'm Cuba.
CINCINNATI, Jan. pa special
to the Commercial Tribune from Key
West says: A horrible story comes
from Jumento, province of Santa Clara,
telling of quick retribution to the
Spaniards for their butchery and bar
barous methods of warfare.
A Spanish force under Captain Mar
tell entered the place, which had been
the camp of the insurgents, and before
going away secretly poisoned a well
and a spring noted for affording excel
lent, pure water. That evening a
Spanish band of guerrillas entered the
town after the others had left and
used the water, from which over
twenty-five men died. The guerrilla
charged the Cuban residents with pois
oning his men. He took the princi
pal residents and shot them dead. He
then turned the women over to the
tender mercies Of the men, who shot
young boys who attempted to save
their mother and sisters. He burned
the village.
The next day some of the Spanish
troops told the guerrillas the story of
the trap they had set for the Cubans,
and learned that their own compani
ons in arms had been caught by their
own barbarous plots.
