SANTIAGO, Cuba. June 1s.-Ross f
Holiday, United States consul here, re-
ceived letter today from General Es-
tenoz, the rebel leader, protesting in the
name Of humanity against the conduct
Of the government troops. He says that
at Ramon de Las Yaguas, a. suburb o.
Ell Caney, four miles to the northeast of
Santiago, the government troops burned
130 houses belonging to negroes who were
totally unconcerned in the revolution. AT
the same place they killed father and
his two children, both under 10, and NAL
treated a number of young girls.
He declares that IL the atrocities of the

compelled, much against his will to start
real race war, although he originally
had no such intention
The conviction is becoming general here
that only Intervention can secure the
peace of the country, especially in the
province Of Oriente. where the negroes
enormously outnumber the whites.
