MURDER OF MASlNS

BY the SpanisIl-Ma assaere OF the
Grand Lodge OF Santiago.
ONEIDA. n Y, July %. Captain
w. Hector Gale. of this place. is .
member of Oneida Lodge, No. 267i
F. and q. NJ. and one Of its Wor-
shipful Past Masters Yesterday
he said:
Now that the day of retrbution
has come to Santiago de Cuba,
every Free Mason in this country
viii rejoice because of the massa-
ere thirty years ago of the Masonic
Grand Lodge of Santiago and the
subsequent treatment of the Wild
ows and orphans of the members.
In 1869 the Grand Lodge met
in Santiago as was its custom If
had never been disturbed by the
eegernnAefat, bet on The night be-
fore the meeting information was
given out that arrests would be
made, and if resistance was offered
the building and everyone in it
would be burned by the troops.
"In view of this threat the meet
ing was held with open doors, yet
the fraternity men were arrested,
and three hours after sunrise next
morning they were all taken out
side of the city and shot.
"Next, the families of these muir
dered Masons were placed on trial
for alleged acts of their husbands
and fathers and brothers. The re-
suit was that their property was
confscated, and they were declared
paupers, and the populace was for
hidden, on pain of imprisonment
to give them any assistance.
These families. deprived of home,
food. and shelter and means of
obtaining them, and forbidden to
leave the jurisdiction of Santiago
de Cuba, sought shelter in the
woods.
"The inhumanities and barbara
ties which these women and child
rem were subjected to pass belief.
They were charged with all sorts
of robberies in order to have them
chased by bIoodhounds. These
chases were followed by a mob,
and when the Yiciim was caught
she was tortured until she either
confessed or died. Their bodies.
after these fiendish tortures, we're
left upon the ground in horrible
mutiIation.
"An attempt was made at the
time to induce our government to
intercede for these helpless suf-
ferers, but it came to nothing. In
1869 there were 300 of them, and
in 1874 thirty or forty still sur
vived. The others died from
starvation or were killed by blood
hounds.
''In 1874, when the crew of the
Virginius was captured and muir
dered. the crew of the Spanish
vessel, the Tornado, made a great
celebration. About m idni g h t,
when they had all been drinking
freely of wine, party was formed
to hunt with bloodhounds the re-
remainder of these survivors of the
grand lodge massacre. The hunt
was described as too terrible to re-
late. After it was over an Ameri-
can consul belonging to the fra
ternity went into the woods and
arranged for the burial of nine who
had been murdered, and found
seven others not yet dead. but
suffering and mutilated.
"There were more murders than
those of the Maine to be avenged
in this war.

Unfair.

The Wayne News is decidedly
unfair in it's criticisms of some of
the Democratic candidates for the
nomination for Congress. Its re-
cent attack upon Hon. Rankin
Wiley, of this city. was uncalled
for and unjustifable, and without
shadow of truth in it. The
News puts itself in a fair way to
have to 4eat crow. and such would
be the case should Mr.. Wiley hap
pen to get the nomination. Be
tween the candidates in our coun-
ty, we are taking no sides, but we
Ike to see our candidates treated
fairly by the Democratic papers of
the District. The Register is dis
posed to treat all the candidates,
in every part of the District, fairly,
and whoever of them gets the
nomination, the Register will sup
port most heartily. and will have
'.no crow to eat, !" after the nomina-
ton is made.

Elopement.
A man named Shaffer eloped
with a 13-year-old girl named
Ethel Curry. from above Charles
ton Wednesday morning, and were
followed by constable from
Charleston, who captured them
at GalIipolis yesterday evening
and-brought them to this place.
Shaffer was lodged in Jail and the
girl kept in the custody of the
constable. Shaffer is about 40
years of age, and it is said the
girls father will prosecute him to
the full extent of the law. His
offense is felony. and will no
doubt land him in the peniten-
tiary. They were taken back to
Charleston this morning.
Some of the papers who think
more of their party than they do of
their country, are still making cap
ital in advance of the position
which they imagine the governs
ment will take regarding the future
of the possessions they have taken
from Spain. The paper which at
this time will endeavor to boost any
political party because of the
blood shed at the front is not
worthy of being read by any
American citizen and should re-
ceive such boycot as will teach
the managers thereof some sense.
