London. Sept. 2O.-The Times this

writer points out that though as in the

draws attention to the "fiicultie fac

the advisability that the peace confer

The correspondent relates ltiilpl'
stories of anarchy. and says he Amer

stance. he gives the following story,
which he declares was suppressed by
the censor at Key West:
A band of insurgents attacked recent
" the P"rovidencia sugar factory, near
Guines. one of the richest in Cuba. h
guerrilla force which the proprietor
maintained to defend his property until
the arrival of the Spanish troops. was
obliged TO surrender because the Span

the inclosure. where they found a lot Of
reconcentrados. They stripped the wo-
men naked and. placing them i'm line,
fred from behind them at the guerril-
las. thu making II impossible for the
defenders of the factory to return the

The correspondent declares that the
most irremcdiable effect Of the pro-
