NEWS FROM HAVANA
How Matters Progress Unds- Ameri-
can Rule.

Havana, Jan. 7.-Gen. Ludlow is de-
termined to form a rural mounted po-
lice of 300 men and to patrol the sub
urbs with Cuban soldiers. About 1900
Cuhans are now working on the new
branch Of the railroad from the gov
eminent dock to connect with Que
mados camp; some 500 CuDans are
handling quartermaster's stores at the
wharves and elsewhere; 200 Cubans
are cleaning the streets and 200 more
are cleaning the public buildings.
Gen. Brooke, as soon as the customs
receipts permit il, will employ more
Cubans, thereby hoping TO largely re-
duce the number Of the restless class
Of unemployed ~indigents. A drinking
place at San LaZaro was closed last
night by the United States patrol for
having sold liquor to the American sol
diers. Gen. Julio Sanguilly is offended
because some municipal policemen on
Albesu street failed TO salute him.
SanSuilly's aide-de~camp thereupon
raised q disturbance and q crowd gath
cred, but it was easily dispersed by a
United States patrol. Carlos Cadalso,
a carpenter of Vedado, declares that
the so-called torture chamber discov-
cred i'm the late residence Of the Span
ish military governor, was prepared by
him to preserve meats during the
blockade.

A TORTURE
One Said to Have Deen Discovered In
Havana.

Havana, Jan. 6. The afternoon pa
pers sent a thrill through the city with
a report that a torture and execution
chamber had been found at the resi-
dence of the Spanish military governor
adjoining the palace. The papers de-
clare that there the Spanish officials
questioned and murdered political pris-
oners. According TO their accounts
the floor of the chamber was covered
with dried blood and its walls were
indented with machete strokes. An eX-
cited crowd gathered outside the
house, which was last occupied by
Gen. Pando. The report says the
chamber is "A ROOF eight feet square,
lust off the dining room. As a matter
Of fact it was probably used as a
pantry. In the wall there is a dirty
iron bar. evidently used to hang meat
on. and a piece Of discolored rope is
suspended from IL. 1t is ~inconceivable
that Gen. Pando practiced torture next
to his dining room.
