SALVADOR oUrRAGes.
Political Prisoners Horribly Tortured Before
Executed-Ladies Banished.

San Francisco, Oct. 13-The steamer
| City of Panama has arrived from
South American ports. The vessel
brings news of executions and horrible
cruelties perpetrated upon political
prisoners in Salvador. Referring to
the execution of prisoners Ell Clarion
says that at Armenia, a small city of
the republic, Los VEGA Da Izalio, a
prominent citizen was shot while Don
Angel Vasquez and Don Delfin Bar
rios died in prison as the result of
cruelties on the part of General Ara
valo. In the police station, Don We
nazio Salazar and Don Jesus Valdes
We're triced up by the thumbs and
Coils. Don Fernando and Don virgilio
valencia were Shot. These officers had
distinguished themselves in the army
under the regime of the president.
The article in Ell Clarion also asserts
that 20 ladies have been expelled from
San Salvador among whom is the wife
OF Don MacaGio Martinez, one of the
most prominent citizens of Salvador
City. Furthermore, under the direc-
ton Of Gen. Villiegas, five persons were
shot in San Pedro, while at San Miguel
many were executed by Gen. Villevan-
clio.
1t appears also that the editor of Ell
Latl]o. journal of Salvador, incurred
the displeasure of the government ow-
ing to a publication in defence of GER
tam students. For his offence he was
publicly whipped, as also was the
judge who rendered the decision in
favor of the students.

DISCUSSING CUBA.
Peace Commission Is Busy
With that Subject.
Spaniards Want More Time in Which
to Evacuate Cuba.
Failing to Agree Debt Question Will Be
Submitted to Arbitration.

Paris, Oct. 13.-The American peace
commissioners held their usual session
OF three hours duration, today. They
assemble again at 5 o'clock, this after
neon.
The Temps, this evening, says: 1--WE
have received from our Madrid CORE
spondent a dispatch dated Oct. IL, as
sorting that a report was circulated in
Madrid, Wednesday, ITO the effect tina,
the commissioners were exclusively oc-
cupied with the Cuban question and
that the commissioners had agreed, ex-
cept upon the evacuation by the Span
ish troops. the surrender of war mate
rial and the question of the Cuban
debt. The respective governments are
now examining these questions. Spain
is said to be willing to surrender the
war material provided the Americans
accord an extension of time for the
evacuation and in spite Of the fact that
the date on which the Americans will
assume the administration of the
island, Dec. /.
An agreement on the debt question
is more difficult, the Americans claim
ing that the question is irrelevant be-
S1usC Lie ClulSu OtdltS is tlOL annex
ing Cuba. The Americans further hold
that a majority of the Cuban debt was
incurred before the Civil War of 1895.
and that the whole of the debt since
contracted has been devoted entirely
to the prevention of Cuban independ-
ence. wherefore the ultimate settlement
of the debt should devolRe upon the
future Cuban government. Thus Spain
would prefer the annexation of Cuba to
the United States.
TT is further affirmed that, failing
an agreement between the commissions
the matter will be submitted to arbi-
tration.'
The Temps adds that the commits
sioners have prepared memoranda in
terchanging their views on the clauses
OF the protocol which are being dis
cussed.

Can We Act at Once.

To our nonresident comrades we wish to
make a statement in regard to the sash, door
and furniture factory. We have chance to
get four working machines, second hand,
but as good as new, run only very short
time and then housed in dry place. All be-
ing necessary to the factory and can now be
got at a total cost of $3.50 for the four ma
chimes. Now, they would cost us more than
double that. Now, some one else may buy
them if we do not, and the point of this re-
mark is, can those who are in position to
do so, make their contributions as soon as
possible so that we may save nearly S400 One
dollar now is worth two dollars if we let this
good bargain slip. little hustling among
your friends, a little sacrifice of the price of
few theater tickets from hundred of our
socialist friends would secure about half of
the machines the factory will need. 1t is
within our reach.-let's reach out and take
Some one make move and stampede will
follow and the first we know those machines
will belong to a lot of socialists and merrily
buzziug away at Equality.

A Good Thing.

Bro. Lewis Brady of National City, Calfor-

upon the members at large the necessity of
more liberal contributions. Why not send
$40 each. We can, if we will. If we had the
will to do. the means would certainly be
found. Think of $4,000 That would equip
the colony with fine planning mill and box
making plant, and perhaps increase the ca
pacity of the single mill. | am Il working
man myself and my employment is spasmodic
at that, but we my wife and l. feel so sure of
the Equality colony that we send in every
cent we can possibly spare, and feel that we
are providing home for the babies and our
selves to which we hope to go before another
year is past. Fraternally yours,

We don't want our friends on the outside
to think the women of Equality are not active
members of this colony. If they would make
us visit of even day or two they would
find us as busy as bees: some in the sewing
room, some washing, some ironing, others
cooking and still others working in the
schools, nursery, preparing vegetables, TAX
ing care of dining rooms, etc. With all of
our work we manage to have plenty of time
for social life, such as lyceum, singing school
literary entertainments and social hop oc-
casionally. At present we are all very busy
getting ready for our Christmas entertain
ment. In short am very well satisfied with

Freed From Some Anxieties.

Dear Sisters-When we. have sickness. we
are not worried like we were tout in the
world as we say. We have a good physi-
clan always at our call, and medicine also.
We are not obliged to be half dead before we
call doctor, for fear of the bills. We re-
port the first symptoms Of sickness to our
doctor, he makes his examination: if there is
competent nurse in the family, they are al
lowed TO nurse them, and if there is not such
nurse, the doctor appoints one. Should it be
a child then the mother is left to care for it.
and is exempt from other duties. Every atten-
ton is shown them, and when all thoughts of
having to pay doctor and druggist bills and
plenty of good wholesome food is provided it
doesn't take person very long to get well.
With best wishes to all readers of Industrial
Freedom, am your sister,
