OUTRAGE BY IMMUNES.

LIEUT.. FERRARA ONE OF KILLED.
He Died Fighting Nobly--Other People

diers Dead Negroes Moved From San
tiago Because Unruiy.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 16.-An an
noying incident occurred at San Luis,
about 20 miles north of Santiago.
All the colored regiments are en-
camped III the neighborhood of San
Luis. They were sent there virtually to
get them out of the way because of the
difficulty experienced in managing
them.
The trouble began in an attempt to
arrest two soldiers for abusing Cuban
workman and stealing his hog. The
outrage was committed Oh the Normas
sugar plantation Lieutenant jose Fer
rera, a chief of General Woods gem
darmerie in that district, d Spaniard,
but Cuban sympathizer, attempted to
make the arrests.
The soldiers, who belonged to the
Ninth immunes, escaped. soon after
30 coiored men, wearing the uniform of
the United States army, attacked the
house where Lieutenant Ferrera was
and kept up a regular fusilade, killing
Lieutenant ferrera, Antonio Roman, an
old man, Emilio Bettran. boy of II,
and a baby, and wounding several
Others. Two soldiers were killed in the
affray.
When the news reached Santiago,
General Wood went to the signal office.
For four hours dispatches were sent and
received. The colored officers all de-
MED that their men were implicated i'll
the affair, in spite of all the evidence to
the contrary.
General Wood adjourned his inquiry
until morning, when he left on 9 special
train for San Luis.
General Wood returned, reporting
that after long investigation he had
come to the conclusion that all the col
ored regiments were more or less mixed
up IN the ARRAY. He has offered 81 900
reward for the names of the men who
did the shooting, and before leaving San
Luis he read the colored officers severe
lecture for denying that their men were
implicated.
Eyewltnesses of the affair, who ar
rived here during the day. say that two
gendarmes who were wounded are ex.
pected to die
Lieutenant Ferrera behaved most
plucaily, and even when dying, ordered
his men TO defend themselves. He was
shot While outside the house and trying
TO persuade the crowd to dispense. It
seems that the soldiers had been drink
ing III the town, and that a crowd of
them was easily gotten together to
make the attack

MADRID, Nov. 16.-According to semi
official statements here, the Spanish
peace commissioners will maintain their
present attitude in regard to the Philip
pine islands and will certainly not ac-
cept the conditions OF the United States
Further, ii the discussion does not re-
turn to the limits of the protocol, as
viewed by the Spaniards, the Spanish
commissioners have decided, in spite of
contrary reports not to sign treaty of
peace.
1t is also learned from the same
sources that complete accord prevails
between the Spanish government and
its peace commissioners.
PARIS, Nov. 16.-The Spaniards de-
clare that their refusal to sign treaty
based ON any Philippine terms thus far
suggested by the United States is ir-
revoeable. They say that they do not
and cannot view the taking of the
Philippines as anything else than wan
ton ravishment Of their possessions.
unless it is accompanied by financial
consideration of appreciable size.
A Spaniard who is posted as to the
exact status OF affairs informed the cor
respondent of The Associated Press that

sioners would take their final stand at
today's session, although he thought it
possible that they might finally decline
to continue the discussion except within

This is another way of saying that
Spain may cease her contentious.
Should this be so, she would make an
open protest to the world against

In regard to industrial enterprise, Mr..

Dealing with the railway system of
Cuba, the facts gathered on this subject
by Commissioner Porter he reports
point to the advisability of Immediately
constructing a trunk railway from end

laborers are scarce in other places or too

Bombastic Nonsense.

Could anything be more childish
than the Spanish talk Of sending a
"relief expedition to the Philip.
pines, and the announcement that
instructions have been sent to
Gen August to hold out as long
S possible-forty days being re-
quired for an exp dition going by
way OF Suez Canl and the Red
Scar"
In the first place, the Philippine
end Of the cable is not in Manila
but in the bay-or on one OF
Dewey's ships. So that the terri
bic procla nation warrior August
cannot get any instructions from
Madrid.
In the next place, Fitzhugh Lee
will without much doubt be
ministering the provisional gov
eminent Of Cuba, preparatory to
the organization OF the republic,
before halt OF the forty days re-
quired to reach the Philippines
have passed. Besides, Admiral
Dewey could whip any force which
Spain can send against him.
Equally chimerical Is the talk in
the Spanish Cor es as to why pro-
visions and munitions are not sent
to Gen. Blanco. The lack of
money is a good reason, but bet
ter one still is the drum-tight block
ade OF Havana by our feet.
The Spaniard is a funny creature.
His attitude in the present extrem
ity justi6es the words used some
days ago: when the war is over
when Cuba is lost and Porto
Rico is lost and the Philippines
are lost and the Spanish navy is
gone and the Spanish army is hu.
inflated, and when the Spanish
hnanciers are hustling around
kurope's money markets for the
indemnity-the naughty Spanish
Dons will be found twisting their
mustaches, striking ferocious atti-
tudes, uttering strange oaths, pro-
claiming themselves the terrible
fighters that they are not and still
refusing either to tell or to believe
the truth"

DEMOCRATS WITHOUT DEMOC-
RACN.
''Lucus a non Iucendo." d"

'LuCus non lucendO.
We are not satisfied with our
Democrats IN Congress. Though
in a minority they could have done
more than they have for the peo-
pie and the Democracy.
They have permitted the Re-
plbhcans to burden the people by
foistinG upon them higher taxes
than they bore during the last
war. One tax Of that war, for in
stance the beer tax. they have
suffered even to oe doubled.
During the civil war they
taxed the rich as well as
the poor. Then they had an IN
come tax! Now they have no in
come tax, and, indeed, have made
no earnest attempt to establish
one. No revenue bill should have
received their votes unless it en-
bodied a just income tax, and did
not overtax the poor by doubling
one Of the items they chiefly pay.
The Treasury is full. It is over
flowing with gold-not to speak Of
silver And nobody can say how
long the war will last, whether two
weeks more or two months. Ger
tainly no longer, il the Admins
tration gives up its passive resist
ance. its peaceful blockade, and
lets our navy and army get at the
S 2aniavds, without the possibility
Of assisting the Spanish bond
holders.
And yet that enormous taxation
which will for years continue to
Cypress the people! There was no
nect ssity for it!
AS an old Democrat we cannot
he.p Expressing our profound
chagun at the inehiciency, ifnot
imbecility, and want Of spirit and
courage ofthe Democratic leaders.
The revenue bill might not have
passed in so much hurry. There
was money enough in the Treasury
to carry on the war for some time,
and Congress could have waited
without overtaxing the people by
doubling and increasing the in.
ternal revenues. II necessary =
couple OF hundreds Of millions
could easily have bee obtained.
No limit has been given to the con.
rinuatiOn Of the new taxes. They
will probably stand for years 10
come, and our people will during
the present hard times be com.
pelled to pay the costs Of the war,
instead Of giving them time to pay,
as was the case after the late war.
But worse than all that is the
failure to use the war to pass an
income tax, which would have
been, even with that adverse de-
cision Of the Supreme Court, as
constitutional as in the sixties.
That opportunity is lost and we
probably will never have an in
come tax, and the poor people will
have to pay the taxes, without
molestiug the millionaires.
