OLD-TIME CRUELTIEs.
The Spanish Not the Only People
Who Have Been Inhuman.

Tne spanish NOT the Ouiy FeOple
Who Have Been Inhuman.
From the Boston Journal.
1t is the fashion now to speak bitterly
concerning the Cruelty" Of the Spaniards.
We received the other day the following
paragraph from God-fearng man in sa-
lem:
A work just published, entitled Am
brolse Pare and His Time" G510- 90) pre-
sents a graphic history OF this distinguish
ed pioneer French surgeon. Recording the
fighting around Metz, where the spaniards
were engaged, Pare denounces the cruelty
IN. de Cjuise sent them all victuals
enough, and ordered me and other sur
geons to go dress and physic them, which
we did with a good will, and think they
would not have done the like for our men.
For the Spaniard Is very cruel, treacher-
Gus in humor, and, so far an enemy TO all
nations, which is proved by Lopez, the
Spaniard, and Benzo, of Milan, and others
who have written the history of America
and the West Indies, VINO have had 10 con-
fess that the cruelty, avarice blasphemes
and wlckedness OF the Spaniards have ut
terly estranged the poor Indians from the
and all write that they are less worthy
sthan the idolatrous Indians, for their cruel
treatment of these Indians"
Yes, Ambrose Pare was an illustrious
Frenchman, and he protested against
Spanish cruelty; but how about bis coun-
trymen? Look for moment at the "Lus
ira Ludovica." by James Howell, Esq,
G4ondon, 1870. On page you viii find
this pleasant reading about the punish
ment Of the assassin Of Henry ":
EVERY one did whet his invention TO
devise some exquisite lasting torment for
Rataillao. The Butchers OF Paris. who are
habituated in bloud, props'd a way 10 fay
him, and the torture Of excoriation should
continues three daies; Others gave the
draught OF an instrument in form Of an
Obelisk where he might be press'd. and
the torment should last a long time; Others
found out a way TO have his body cut
quite off from his hips downward, and his
bowels 20 be ciapd presently upon hot
yron plank, whien should preserve the
other halle of the body IN pangs of ago.
MES long while; but the court of justice
thought It not fit to invent or inflict any
other punishment upon him but what the
laws allowed"
And what was the poor DEVILS fate? He
was first pierced with the knife he used
IN reasonable murder; buskins filed with
boiling OIL were applied to him; he was
pincered in the paps, thighs and Drawn of
the legs. and boiling lead was poured into
the one. burning resin into the other. and
wax melted with sulphur into the third his
body was torn asunder by horses. all his
members burned, reduced 20 cinders AID
thrown into the air; the house where he
was born was RACED to the ground, and
none should presume TO build upon that
piece Of earth; his father and mother were
eziled for life; and his brothers, sisters,
uncles and others should never afterward
bear the name Of Rayaillac under pain of
being hanged and strangled."

TEDDY,s 1'ERRoRs.
Cowboys and Society Leaders Mix
Together at San Antonio.


San Antonio. Tex, May 11.-Three hun
dred and forty cowboys from New Mexico
and thirty-nine society leaders from New
York are the latest acquisitions TO Roose-
velts Riders. Among the men from the
East are Craig Wadsworth, one of the hest
polo players in America; Basil Ricketts,,
son of the late Gen. Ricketts,, who has
served two years apprenticeship on a
Colorado cattle ranch; Hamilton Fish, Jr.,
another noted polo player; Horace Deve-
raux OF Colorado Springs and the Prince
ton foot ball team; William Ticany OF
New York, a social favorite, but who can
boast of a long experience gof Western
ranch and range; Kenneth Robinson of the
Knickerbocker Club Reginald, Ronalds,
half-back of the Yale foot ball team and
HOLSTER, the Harvard Splinter
There will be about fifty of these col
lege and club men in all, but their wealth
and influence will secure them no special
consideration in the regiment. One of
them may get a lieutenancy, and two or
three are likely to be made non-commis-
stoned officers, but the rest will serve as
troopers on a perfect equality with the
rest of the men.

IoE DOYLE TO BE POSTMASTER
,rtN.s NANIE WITHDRAWN AFTER

CoseIy Enough to Discover the
MistRke.
washington. May 11.-Joseph f. Doyle
as To-day appointed postmaster at Sa-
ysonah. The appointment came as a big
sorpris, IN view of what preceded 1T, for
tbe senate had confirmed the appointment
of Henry Blum, Jr., for this Office
Mr.. BUNS appointment was sent in by
t1s President some time ago. On May 3
the appointment was confirmed by the
Senate and it was supposed by those who
we're watching Savannah matters that
This settled all possibility of further con-
troyersy over the office.
But after Mr. Blum had been confirmed
senator's Hanna and Pritchard asked the
Senate 10 reconsider its action on the
ground that the President had sent in Mr..
Bluns name by mistake. Both of these
senator's, who have taken an interest in
Georgia Republican affairs, have favored
the appointment of Mr.. Doyle. On their
aatement that the President had made
mistake in sending in MIR. BUNS name
he Senate reconsidered its action in con-
hming Mr.. Blum.
So far as the reconsideration and with
iawal of Mr.. BUNS name are concerned,
i fthe Senate had refused to reconsider the
resident could simply have declined the
commission, Mr.. Blum and the Senate's re-
hsal would have been of no assistance to
bin
4 This afternoon Mr.. Doyle's name was
sent 10 the Senate for the Office. 1t Is
rooabe that in view of the peculiar af-
hr the Senate committee on posSofIices
viii look pretty carefully into the case
kfore recommending confirmation.
Georgia Republicans here are very reti-
cent concerning the causes for the
change.
senator's Hanna and Pritchard, who
brought il about, will give no further ex-
plantation than that the clerks a the ex-
ecUtive department or postoffice depart
ment made a mistake in sending the APP
pointmenC paper containing the name of
Mr. Blum 10 the President, and that he
signed it without seeing the mistake.
1t IS believed, however. that the reason
Nj Blum is turned down is that he has
been regarded as training with the Lilly
White element of Georgia Republican
politics, and that Senator Hanna sees more
strength in the appointment of Mr.. Doyle
than that of Mr.. Blum.
Al the time the appointment of Col. De-
veaux was agreed upon between Maj.
Hanson, representing the Lilly Whites"
and Judson Lyons, a part of the agree
ment then reached was that Mr.. Blum, as
the representative of the Hanson element,
should get the postoffice. 1t looks very
much as if that last turn means that Maj.
Hanson and the Lilly Whites" have been
thrown down again.

sentativs.

New York, May IA dispatch to the

Dewey and his men will need advocates
one of these days to secure for them the
bounty they have earned by
the destruction of the Spanish

Just how 1t is to be enforced does not

that when the matter is taken up the Sec
rotary Of the Navy will put the facts to
Congress and that an appropriation will
be made to meet the expenditure on ac-
count of the bounty fund" sw
