JUSTICE AT LAST.
Cubans Lynch one of General
Weyler's Minions.

Havana, June 5.-A dispatch
from San Antonio de Los Banos
says that Jose Labregat, a noto-
rious agent of General Weyler,
who outraged defenceless women
and killed children, arrived here
yesterday. His appearance was
the signal for Il gathering of rela>
tives and friends of those whom
he formerly prosecuted. The ex~
citement continued throughout
the day and into last night.
About midnight a crowd sur
rounded the house where he was
and began to threaten him. He
attempted to escape and on meet
ing the demonstrators, emptied
his revolver, wounding two per-
sons.
The crowd closed in and cap
tured him, and he was lynched on
the public square. The anxiety
following the excitement caused
committee of Spaniar Is to come
to Havana yesterday to ask the
interference of General Brooke.
He could not receive them before
a late hour of the evening, but he
readily offered to send a detach-
ment of American soldiers to the
town. The committee, which left
San Antonio before the lynching,
returned to find Labregat dead.
Many burglaries have been COM
mitted recently in the hotels,
stores and private houses here
and the police believe an organiz>
ed band of American crooks is at
work.
General Fitzhugh Lee has sent
three troups of the Seventh eaval>
ry to scour the provinces OF Ha-
vana and Pinar do Rio and squads
of ten, fifteen and twenty men,
with provisions for ten days, are
visiting the small towns at night.
