No MERCY FOR ARISTOCRATS
Rock Pile COnyictS in Havana Must be
Treated Ill Alike

Havana, June THE order of Capt.
Pitcher, police magistrate, that men
sentenced to the rock pile shall all be
treated alike, each being compelled to
work, has provoked quite a storm of
hostile comment in the local papers.
The magistrate is accused of being
autogratic and overbearing. 1t has
been the custom for men having money
or friends and influence not to work
when sentenced, the only labor being
done by those without influence with
the guards. Captain Pitcher directs
that every man must work or be con-
fined to a cell with bread and water.
