Slaughter of Cubans
KEY WEST, April 12.-News has
reached Havana of TIE massacre 81
fifty -econcentrados at Escambra. Z ,r-
mission wss Given qthe reconca ntrados
quartered at Santa Clara last Wednes-
dav to return to their devastated
homes. They issued from the city in
great nun bers and camped at Escam-
bra, erecting palm huts. Trusting to
what they supposed to be the good
will of the Span ards they began anew
their struggle for existence. To es-
cape starvation the fugitives killed
several head of cattle which the Spau-
iards had never been able to take into
the town. This was made a preteXt
for massacre, and Thursday night q
troop .of Spaniards dashed into the
camp and rode dow the fleeing men
and women, slashiug them to death. A
few escaped into the woods, but fifty
were killed and many more wounded.
The reconcentrsdoes are now without
the faintest ray of hope. They believe
that the promises of the Spaniards
were but plOs to inveigle them into
the open fields, SO that they might be
slaughtered.
