Generals Toral and Pareja have been on

de Cuba to the United States forces without
having exhausted means of defense, has ac-
quilted both officers. the ground that
they acted upon the orders of their superior

The Judgment severely censures those in
high command in the colonies and in Spain,
as well as the governments representatives,
responsible for the lack of resources for the
defense of the colonies.
1t was rendered by a majority of one vote

LONDON, August THE johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
"A colored American citizen. black
smith, was mistaken for a Kaffr outside
the exchange and was cruelty maltreated
by the police, among whom was a field
cornet for his inability to produce pass.
The United States consul has taken up the
matter"
The negro, who is a blacksmith by trade,
was leading horses from his forge on Fri
day morning, when three mounted police
men appeared and demanded that he show
his pass. They used abusive language The
negro produced paper proving him to be
an American citizen, and protested against
the abusive language. Thereupon the po-
licemen dismounted. knocked him down and
kicked him in the back with their spurs
During the afternoon DIR. Matthews, 20
whom the American consul had sent the
negro for medical treatment, exhibited nine
spur wounds to the crowd that gathered
outside the exchange. A dramatic scene
ensued DR.. Matthews harangued the peo-
pie, appealing for justice, accusing Field
Cornet Lombard of being concerned.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest
of the policemen. Lombard has submitted
an affidavit denying that he was involved in
the assault.
