Spanish Soldiers LO0ting.

An Associated Press dispatch says that
infol nation is being constantly received
which leads to the belief that the Spanish
proposals are simply ruse to gain time.
1t is positively known that the Spaniards
are making preparation to evacuate Santi-
ago. With the customary fine sense of
honor they are sacking the city before it
falls into the hands OF the Americans
Cuban families are not the only sufferers
from the thievish propensities Of the Span
ish soldiery, who are plundering the houses
Of all the families, Spanish and Cuban
alike, who fled from the city when the no.
tice of bombardment was given.
One particularly atrocious crime has
been committed by the soldiers. Sonora
Rosa Chacon de Odis, wealthy resident
of the city, refused to leave because her
fortune, which consisted of gold, silver,
and securities of various kinds, and her
valuable jewels, were kept by her in her
house. She thought that her property
would be safer under the protection Of th !
Spanish soldiers than if she fled with other
refugees to the American lines, taking her
valuables with her. The fact that she had
much property in her house was generally
known to the soldiers, and last night some
OF them went to her residence and assassi-
mated her. Then they looted the house of
everything valuable it contained.
Horrible barbarities of every kind are
being committed by the so-called defend
ers Of the city, the details of which we're
brought to our lines last night by the Gu
bans who arrived at Gen. Garcia's camp.
