ties have no conception of the real
situation aside from the bankrupt
stat. of the Havana government.
The rural districts are being depo-
pulated of peaceful citizens as rapidly
as the limited transportation facilities
permit Devastation is the chief oc-
cupation of both rebels and guerilla
volunteers. The country has already
been set back five years and bitter
race hatred has been aroused. The
character OF the warfare overshadows
the property losses and SO shocking
are-the details In many instances that
they are unprintable. A pareilei is
found only in the history of the Congo,
which made King Leopold the most
hated monarch.
Instead of civilized warfare 1t Is
annihilation and a majority of those
being killed are not insurrectos, but
nnarmed blacks who took refuge in
the brush with their families when the
trouble started. pefenseless boys are
being shot down ON the only proveea-
ton that their skin Is black. Several
instances of black women being killed
while fighting to save their honor or
bits of jewlery have been brought to
notice.
All Prisoners Shot.
General Monteagudo has directed
that no prisoners be taken and when
an officer makes the mistake of bring

CHICAGO. June 13.-By way OF

Roosevelt leaders today dropped all

The other proposition is that he will

the Office than Senator Kenyon, Of
