ers went to their death without &c
shudder and neither made any state

to keep the crowd away from the en-
frances. The house tops and tele-
graph poles in the vicinity were
crowded with people eager to witness
the execution.

Mr.. Dotty said:

decided that would not put the usual
regulations I'm force untn sow some
reason ia do SO. However, as the
summer set in and warm weather pre-
vailed with the possibility of unrecog-
nizad cases of disease appearing. de-
termined IL a proper precaution to
place a quarantine against non-im-
mune persons from Cuba commencing
July /. thus deferring the time two
months. Now. the restrictions have
been removed. one month earlier than
usual. From official reports to me
