WHAT COUNT CASS!NI SAYS
About the TFans-Siberiau Railway
aud tho TSb5Iinn;poS

New York. June 15.-Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador to this country. at
the Waldorf-AstoTia, said tonight that
he would make the prediction that the
United States would reap great CONNER
cial advantage from the Trans-Siberisn
railway. There are thousands of miles
Of telegraph lines there now and the pref
udice against The innovation mas almost
died away. II will be the same way with
the railway. At present there Is a fierce
preclude eaEainst it, but LEI the natives
once see the benefits and they will not
oppose it. The United States will be a
great gamer by the building Of the new
road. The commerce Of Russian and
eeaster1 Siberia IS very small az the pres
ent time and IT viii take years 70 de-
velop it. The United States, on the oth-
er hand. is already invading eastern CHINA
and Siberia with American manufac-
lures and a soon as the Trans-S oerian
line is running I look TO see you ol@-
tarce all corners.
Speaking Of the American occupancy OF
the Philippines he said: we Russians
are rather glad than otherwise, but you
are not half through with your trouoIe5
over there yet. General Otis needs aoolt
twice as many men a. he is using now.

continuance running Thorough the sstrong
upright post run out past the ends of this
bow, and at the end Of one of the bars
IS a king Of throat-latch, resembling
slightly bent bride bit.
The criminal to be executed is seated in
the chair and his head placed between the
iron bars back against the steel bow with
the knob fitting in the back of his neck.
The bit-shaped bar is brought across the
throat and fastened to the end Of the op-
posite bar with a key which prevents any
possibility Of its getting loose. The mans
head Is thus virtually placed in an iron
collar. His hands are tied in front Of him
and iron anklets at the end Of the chain
are slipped upon him so that he Is firmly
bound to the chair. Nothing is put over
mis- ewes. and ne is left to see and hear
all that goes on around him.
The. Continuance at the back Of the post
connecting with the iron bars passing
each side of the neck and drawing the bit
shaped INSTRUMENT up against the throat
looks like a great auger, except that the
handles are slightly bent backward 70 give
the operator greater leverage. The threats
of this auger-iike continuance are Of brass
and very strong; they run through %he
spiral grooves Of a heavy brass-lned col
lar at the back Of the post, So that when
the handles are turned it draws the throat
ZACH tight up against the steel bow Il
nothing is placed between them, in the
same way that turning the lever OF let
ter press brings the upper and lower parts
together.
This part Of the mechanism Is kept
| highly oiled, and its parts work with per-
feet freedom. One-half of one revolution
Of the handles does the deadly work. A
heavy can was placed in the collar and
given one quick turn to illustrate the
working of the garrote. The can was
! smashed in an instant. In the same
manner a mans neck IS instantly broken,
one or more of the vertebrae being forced
! out of position and the spinal cord crushed
or severed.
The platform on which the garrote is
placed has seven steps, and the black coat
| of the executioner has seven white stripes
representing them.
When public executions took place the
! garrote waa erected in the plaza at the
! side of the prison, and sometimes at Santa
| Cara Battery a priest was always in at
! tendance and gave the signal for the exc
] cutiou. AS soon as the man was killed a
/ black mantle was thrown around him to
! shut off the gaze Of the pubic. The last
execution with this garrote was that OF a
| highwayman, on Jan. a, 1898.
There is nothing in the look Of Valentine
particularly cruel. He goes about the
work in = practical way. When asked how
the men seated in the chair with the steel
collar about their necks acted and whether
| he felt sorry for them or no, he said that
many Of them trembled until the garrote
shook, and sometimes he was sorry and
| sometimes he wasn't

(SpeciaI to the New York WoTld)
Santiago de Cuba, June 16.-On long
ride I took from Cienfuegos to Santiago

cali5re weapon was necessary. No swathy
ruffian or picturesque swashbuckler ap-
preached to demand my money or my

sudden disappearance of this much adver-
tised individual, and he told me he had
himself encountered none nor had he eX-
pected to- feeling that they were all re-
formed or in godd hands, by which latter
remark he meant the tender mercies of
the American soldiers at Moro, and on his
suggestion.

four by right Of birth and church, 'Pru-

''Tren Con-" burly negro, with muscles

with no little pride does he enlarge upon
the several and original methods which he
has employed. The right 10 exercise his

Admiral Villamils name was among those
rescued, although claims have been made
that he was received on board one of the
American auxiliary craft and made prisoner.
At the embassy it has been understood that
the admiral among the lost, and in view
of reports that his remains have been found
and identified it is expected that request
