Africa stopping in it's eastward curve

fore, 1t has been chosen by Spain as a
fit place to send her exiled political
prisoners.
When, not very long ago, the Spanish
ship Larache was reported at the
Canaries bound for Fernando Pc with
300 Filipino prisoners on board, those
who knew of the horrors of the island
shuddered at the thought of the i'm.
prisonment and the almost certain
death which they would be forced to
undergo.

OF these survivors fifteen are fed by
the Government, receiving two cups of
rice and little meat each day. The
others have to get their food the best
way they can.
The 300 Filipinos who have now been
added to the island convicts had been
prisoners in Spain, or in some Of the
islands belonging to her near her coast
before they We're sent out to "Spain's
Little He'll" They were evidently sent
to Fernando Po with the idea that In
that far-off place they would be so lost
to the world that no questions would be
asked as to what had become of them
At Fernando Pc the convicts are
huddled together in a miserable mass
men, women and children being thrown
together rindiscrminately without food
without water, without any ventilation
and with nothing but misery and
squalor staring them in the face. 1t is
small wonder that so many of then
are taken with the fever and die. The
wonder is that any of them escape.
