FORMER CUBAN SLAVE
ARRIVES IN WICHITA
John San ears Marks of
Masters Lash.
TELLS PITIFUL STORY
Peculiar Custom of Man TAX
Wife's Name.

John San who was a slave in Cuba for
Spanish rule, is in Wichita. Every
American has heard of the vicious atroc-
tiles of Weyler, and San rehearses the
terrible story just as it has often been
told, only ten-fold worse San was
slave and Weyler held the blacksnake
whip over his body many times. These
infections he never forgot, and he never
will.
San has only been in this country about
three years, but he can talk English
quite plainly. He is about five feet
seven inches in height, and is rather of
dark complexion. He is IS years of
age, and has gray hair. On his body
are many scars which We're inflicted by
the whip. He has on the back of his
head the stamp that was placed there
when he was enslaved. There are deep
marks all over his person that goes to
show that the poor man has been cruelty
treated Spanish rule knew no pity and
the thousands of helpless Cubans who
were compelled to throw away their lives
for the sake of living under such dy-
martyrs of the world.
San is true Cuban, and he does not
feel ashamed of his country. He says
that Cubans are good people and that
they all would like to be under the
American government. Roosevelt, Samp-
son and Schley are all heroes. beloved
and famous, TO the Cuban. Even the
little children speak of the brave Amer
lean soldiers and the hearts of the old
Cuban slaves swell with pride when
the Stars and Stripes are foated over
their humble huts
The fact that there is a Cuban slave
in Wichita is somewhat of a curiosity.
AS a demonstration of how the Spanish
treated him ne showed the holes in his
nostris through which a heavy steel ring
was fastened and to that a weighty
chain. 1t is too horrible to relate and
even San, himself almost weeps as he
talks of the past.
What is still more pitiful than any of
the past of his life is the condition in
which he has been thrown since coming
to Wichita. He is without work and
claims that he cannot find any. He is
willing to work, but cannot stand hard
labor. His infections. done by the Span
ish, have weakened him and he has
grown old much speedier than a person
who has been lree the greater part of
his life.
He has never been married and his rel
atives are mostly dead. His grand
fathers name was Beatte This vas
his fathers father. When asked how it
came that his grandfather's name was
Beattie and his San he explained that
it was on account of marital customs.
1t is the custom in Cuba for a man to
take the name of the woman that he
marries. Thus his name is San.
San will probably go Oh exhibition
during the street fair here this week
His friends are prevailing upon such a
movement, and if he does he will be quite
an attraction. San is a tlrewd man, and
above all things, polite. He is great ad-
mirer of Americanism, and loves to talk
OF the glory of the American navy and
army.
