die, the most terrible torture Of the
many which they inflicted upon him.
The spiked saddle. 1t would seem, is one
Of the most devilish contrivances ever
devised by man. The terrible torture
which 1t caused Is best told In Mr.. Ian
doris own words.
sit was" he said. sin reality the
wooden frame Of very high-backed
saddle, from the back of which some
five or six sharp iron spikes stuck out
horizontally. AS l sat on this instru-
ment of torture the spikes caught me in
the small of the back. My guard hav-
ing been augmented by twenty OF thirty
mounted men, with muskets and
swords, we set off at furious pace.
The horseman riding in front of me led
my pony by means of cord, as my
hands were manacied behind my back,
and thus we Travelled across country for
miles. In order to accelerate our speed
a horseman rode by my side, lashing
my pony to make 1t go its hardest.
Meanwhile the horseman who held the
cord did his utmost to pull me out of the
saddle, no doubt in the hope of seeing
me trampled to death by the cohort be-
hind me. AS leaned my body forward
SO as to maintain my seat, and with my
arms pulled violently backward by the
rope, the flesh was rubbed off my hands
and knuckles by the chain Of the hand
cuffs. In places the bone was exposed,
and every tug brought me into forcible
contact with the spikes and inflicted
deeper wounds. The cord, though
strong. eventually and unexpectedly
gave way. The soldier who was pulling
at the other end was endorsed. and l
was myself all but thrown by the unex-
pected jerk.
Il was then hustled to the execution
ground. On the ground was a long log
Of wood shaped like prism. Upon the
sharp edge of this l was made to sit,
and several men held me by the body
while four or five others, using their
combined strength, stretched my limbs
as far apart as they could pull them.
Then the Pombo approached and for
four or five minutes held red-hot iron
within an inch Of my face"
Then followed other fortunes until,
the executioners becoming impatient,
the last grand act was arranged for.
The elimination was to have been be-
headment, but curious circumstance
caused this most unpleasant ceremony
to be dispensed with. After Mr.. Ian
dor and Man Sing had been placed on
q rack with their feet tied to log and
their hands to post high In the air,
and allowed to remain there for twenty
four hours. 1t was discovered in examin-

In the first installment OF his story
of the "Merrimac" in the Decem Der
Century, which is to be an unusually
attractive number, Lieutenant Hobson
lays no claim to having originated the
idea Of blocking the channel at Santi-
ago. The sinking of the collier had
been ordered by Admiral Sampson, but
the commanding officer off Santiago had
not executed the maneuver when the
flagship arrived, and the working out
of the plan, as we'll as its execution,
was intrusted to Lieutenant Hobson.
The preliminary steps are detailed in
this number of the magazine, and in
later issues the story of the sinking of
the ship and the capture and imprison-
ment of her crew will DO given at first
hand. This is the only account of his
exploit that Mr.. Hobson has written
for publication.

 and Kill Cubans-
 Santiago, Nov. 16.-An incident has occurred at San Luis, about 25 miles north of Santiago, which caused a great deal of Ill feeling among the Cubans and considerable annoyance among the United States military officials there.
 All the colored regiments are encamp- ed in the neighborhood of San Luis. They were sent there virtually to get them out of the way because of the diff ficulty experienced in managing them.
