haps Vice Consul Silliman received bet
ter information.
The prison fare was hard bread and
water. This was showed al us by guards
or soldiers. The stun could be eaten
only at rare intervals, to stave off ac-
tual starvation.
Il do not know who was responsible
for our arrest. When l left this had not
been ascertained. / do not believe that
Mr.. SiIliman and his clerk ever knew
why they were imprisoned.
Dungeons Mere Pest Holes.
The dungeons of the Saltillo prison
are mere pest holes. They are infested
with vermin; mold is upon the walls
and the floors and the accumulated filth
of prior occupancies is unremoved.
Dampness adds to the sickening smells,
and there is horrible filth all about one.
The cells are barely large enough for
a man TO lie down in, even IL the condi-
tions of the floors permitted this. A
man VINO spends ten days or two weeks
in such a place-if he is a man of feel
ing and refinement-feels that he has
aged years"
The refugee talked guardedly, but au-
thoritatively, of the Saltillo occur
rences. He expects to return TO Mexico
if comparative peace is restored, and
asserting that the facts as related will

Vice Consul Silliman is expected to
leave Mexico City tomorrow. 1t is said
he has been well treated since reaching
the capital, and responsibility has not
yet been placed regarding the terrible
treatment accorded the consul and his
secretary by the federalist authorities
at Saltillo. 1t is probable that Consul
Silliman will make a report to the State
Department next week detailing the in
dignities to which he and the clerk of
the consulate were subjected.
The refugee quoted does not claim to
be in possession of facts concerning ev-
cry mistreatment accorded Silliman, but
asserts shudderingly that every man
| imprisoned at Saltillo, native or Amer
ican, was abused, threatened, humili-
ated, and treated more like an animal
than a human, and that Silliman's rank
gave him no immunity.

experiences of Vice Consul Silliman,- his

the apprehension existing in this coun-
try for two weeks while the State De-
psrtment attempted to locate him was
entirely justified.
SO far as / know, Mr.. Silliman and

It's the same old story. The race
in the Preparatory School Football
League this year is to be interesting
and 1t will doubtless be the last game
to be played which will decide the
winners of the cup.
Two years before the incoming or
the Benedictine College team to the
league the contest was three-corncr-
ed affair between McGuire's Uni
veryity. Richmond Academy. and John
Marshall High School AS 1t was
them. there was warm rivalry between
the teams. but when the Cadets enter
ed an eleven interest in the games
grew more and more. and the TWO
games played this season have been
largely attended.
In the third game Of the season,
which will be played at Broad Street
Park Wednesday afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock between John Marshall High
school an dBenedictine College, there
Ia much interest being displayed.
The first game, which resulted N

The Prince Of Pilsen. the most tune
full and delightful comic opera OF the
last decade. was again with us ysster-
day at the Academy for two perform
ances, but with a cast that by no
means measured up TO those with
which we have been previously enter
tanned. The opera is drawing largely
this season on its reputation. John
W. Ransome Is the Cincinnati brewer
however, and plays the role more eff
fectively than any one since he ap-
peared in the original production.
Edna Won Luke Is mild. but attract
i've, widow" and the Edith of this
cast is good to look upon. But in all
other respects, gone is the gay oper-
eta Of yesteryear, and there remains
only the tuneful score. and a pleasant
haunting memory of what 1t used to
be. Next season, let's hope for a real
big sure enough revival OF q piece that
should not be allowed to die.
