Horrible Form Of Torture.

New York. Feb. GA special from
Havana to the Sun says: The torture
known as ''componte" In Cuba. and ly
means of which the American citizen,
DIR. Ricardo Ruiz, was assassinated, is
the most barbarous OF all cruel punish
ments invented by the Spanish. A pris-
oner is beaten. sometimes with a cane
and sometimes with 4 large cylindrical
piece of iron. until he faints from pain
or loss of blood. His wounds are htcn
cared for and when he Is better the
awful treatment is repeated. The de-
sign is to kill him by degrees. and when
the climax of cruelty is reached, then
IA powerful blow on the head puts an
end to the victims sufferings
DIR. Ruiz suffered the componte for
days. On the night OF the 18th inst.
the doors of his cell were opened and
the componte began. The other pris-
oners heard the cries OF the victim, his
entreaties for mercy and his despair
ing imprecations. At the door of the
cell while the componte was going on.
stood Major Fonsdeviclia. who several
times addressed the prisoner and the
executioners.
On the 18th the scene was repeated.
Ruiz appears To have made a desperate
effort to overcome his enemies and get

though he had made leap and had at
once received a terrible blow which
felled him. and as he fell he uttered a
loud cry. The door was Immediately

each other the fear Of having killed the
man against oMersr One of them
was plainly seen in the dim light Of the
corridor. He wore the uniform OF a
soldier belonging to the military police
called Order Publico.
On the next day, Sunday. Ruiz was
left alone in his cell and the torture
was not repeated. He passed the day
crying: "Socorro"' (Help. help.) for
hours together. until his strength was
exhausted. During the night, like a
wild beast in its cage. the doctor was
heard scratching the. walls and the
door of his prison.
On Monday night the murderers in
tiicted upon the doctor only one or two
blows. The voice of the unfortunate
man was not heard again that evening.
on Tuesday night. the 10Th, the
struggles and cries were heard again
and also the last tremendous blow
which put an end to Ruiz's life. The
details are now known to all Cubans

her to church, and a little later re-
turned over town when he again fol-
lowed her and overlook her on Court
street near Browns meat market.
Dawes took her by the throat and
attempted to drag her into an alleyway.
Here the struggle with which the
journal readers are familiar took place.
Witness substantiated the report as
published in these columns.
On cross-eXamination. by MI. Walton
that gentleman tried to open up the
past life of the witness. but Mr.. Cover
strenuously objected and the prisoner
broke down and wept like child.

turned and grabbed Dawes who was
then choking his wife. When witness
pulled Dawes away the latter exclaimed
Let me finish her." Witness replied
You'll finish nothing" Witness was
assisted in separating the couple by
Henry Noteau. Henry NOteau was
the next witness and corroborated the
last witness.
