at the Presidio.

CSpecIal TO Ine Hera4dJ
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 11.-Word was
received here late tonight of the death
at the Preside, California, of Captain
G. r. Palmer, battery A, Wyoming
volunteer artillery. The telegram did
not state the. cause of death, but it is
believed here it was due to a general
collapse. The Wyoming artillery,
called the Alger light battery, left here
for California last July, and was sta
toned at the Presidio until last Tues
day, when the command sailed on the
Newport for Manila. Early in Sep
tember Captain Palmer's mind became
deranged and he was relieved tenn
porarily from command and came here
to recuperate When the Wyoming
battery was ordered to Manila, Cap
tain Palmer, against the wishes of his
physician, went to California to take
charge of the battery. A military
board inquired into his condition, and
last Monday adjudged the officer in
sane. The remains will be brought
here for burial

THEIR ONLY CRIME.
Death of Two Boys for Shouting

Death of Two Boys for Shouting
"Cuba Libre.-
MT stephen Bonsal, in his "The Real
Condition of Cuba To-day" describes
the execution of two little Cuban boys,
whose only sin had been that they al
ways shouted Long Live Free Cuba. /"
An Old sergeant tells him the story.
They had been kept imprisoned, but
they were very much pleased when
the lieutenant said they would die to-
gether; he would not separate them.
Then the oldest lost his courage a lit
tie, whispered imploringly to the cap
tain, and we thought he was going to
give way, poor little worm, and I
would not have blamed him He
should have been at home with his
mother, curled up in her lap. But
then the captain answered, loud and
sharp, and we knew he had not been
weavering. The captain said: What
you ask is impossible. l cannot have
your arms unbound. l must obey or
ders. and you must be shot just as you
are. and like all the other prisoners,
sentenced to death for rebellion Then
the little chap, who was not year
older than his brother, blew out his
chest like the little game cock he was.
and said: I only asked because Carli-
to is SO young; because l wanted to
put my arms around him when you
fired to save him all I could when the
bullets came; but Carlito is Cuban;
he will be brave Then the sergeant
made them kneel down, three feet
apart, on the ground, with their backs
to the firing platoon. 1t was hardly a
second. The file was drawn up, and
the lieutenant cried, 'Apuntar!' (aim).
But, you know, these little fellows had
edged toward each other, working on
their knees hard, and were kneeling
shoulder touching shoulder, and with
cheek to cheek Then the volley came,
and the bullets lifted the poor little
feather-weights, that they were, off
the ground and blew them against the
wall. You know, paisano, have not
been at alNeasy in my mind about the
rights of these things which see, and
sometimes think that you and I, who
sit here and see these things done
without trying to stop them, are sin

spnin'a Tortured PRISONERS.

The latest Madrid papers say that
the inquiry which the Government is
conducting into the stories of tortured
prisoners hat-come5from Montjuich is
likely to last for some time. Over
123 alleged Anarchists who were#held1
without trial at the Montjuich fortress
have been released. Many of the
tortured prisoners have been examin-.
ed, and it is SEMI officially announced
that officials high in authority who
have countenanced the shameful mis-
There remain twenty prisoners to be
examined by the Minister Of Justice
and the two physicians; one Is serving
life sentence at hard labor and the
remainder are in for eighteen or
twenty years. On those prisoners al
ready examined traces of the most hor-
rible maltreatment have been found.
All we're %ndemned almost entirely
on the evidence Of Tomas Ascheri, who
before he was shot wrote a statement
that he was compelled to lie by the
agony of his tortures. This statement
many Of the Madrid and Barcelona
journals have printed, and almost the
entire press speak about the affair as
the "reasonless result Of the panic Of
anarchism," and urge a retrial OF the
prisoners. This sentiment was second
ed by meeting OF Representatives Of
the College Of Physicians. the Bar, and
the National Union of Commerce held
In Barcelona the other day.
