FOR REFORMING BOYS.
Virginia's House Committee Recon-
mends Cages Instead of Shackles.

Virginia's House C1nmittee Recon-
mends Cages Instead of Shackles.
,Richmond. Va, Feb. THE House
Committee which has been investigating
the Laurel Reformatory for Boys, to-
day agreed on a report which eXoner-
ates the Prison Association of Virginia,
the organization conducting the institu-
tion, from charges Of mismanagement.
The report recommends, however, that
on account of the broadness of the pow
ers conferred upon the association, "the
control of the association should be in
the hands of the State"
The report further says, among other
things:
1T is the Judgment CT a majority of
your committee that there has been no
cruelty practiced toward any of the III
mates by any of the officers of the said
association, but the majority of yom
committee are constrained to think that
the punishment in some cases has been
unnecessarily severe, particularly in re-
ference to the application of the system
in lengthening the time of detention of
the boys in the custody of the Prison
Association.
'"Ilhe use of shackles at the association
does not meet with the approval of a
ma jority of your committee, and we feel
that other means could be pursued TO
bring incorrigiblc boys under proper con-
troll, which would be less grating to the
public, and less calculated to carry with
it a feeling of u serse of degradation,
and would at the Same time be equally
as cfficacious. And in this connection,
would suggest that it would perhaps be
well to prepare Il few cages to be used
MS n substitute for shackles."

affair adds that the insurgents after
ward attacked the train but were repuls-
ed by the fire of the escort, until tht
arrival of reinforcements.
According to information from Span
ish sources a column of troops command
cd by Lieutenant Colonel Harvas, has
been engaged with an insurgent force
