shores of Cuba In the middle Of the
seventeenth century.
From the start the illiterate Span
lard and the illiterate white Cuban
became fascinated by the wonderful
doings Of the African fanatics, and
to-day voodooism is almost as preva-
lent among the West Indian whites
as 1t Is among the negroes. Indeed,
the white fanatic Is said to be even
more hopeless than his negro CO.
worshipper.
During the years the revolving be-
lief has fourished in the Western
continent 1t has undergone many
superficial changes, although the
foundation Of the sacrifice has re-
NAMED unchanged. Many sects
have developed. and to one Of these
called the "Bembe," the two pris-
oners belonged.
The sect Of the "Rembe" makes q
strong point Of pyrotechnlc displays
at it's ceremonials, and is the lead
ing Curative" faction Of the wor-
ship. That is, where other sects
specialize on the satisfaction of re-
venge, Of hatred, unsatisfed love
and so on, the "Bembe" are the
medicine men Of voodoo.
The temple and abode OF Jose,
where the child was killed, is long,
narrow, low rooted hut on the out
skirts Of the town. Religious meet
ings were regularly held there twice
a week. Both Jose and Cardenas
are full blooded negroes, as all the
priests Of voodoo must be.
What actually occurred at this
meeting Is involved In q mass OF con-
Trajectory stories, but the following
authoritative account furnished by
well-informed Cuban Of the usual pro-
gramme followed. at orgies Of this
kind Is enlightening:

girls-the best-looking ones, as q
rule.
These girls strip to the waist, pick
up their skirts and tie them in a
manner that leaves them bare thigh
and leg. and the dance Is on. They
perspire, they snort, the stamping of
their feet goes on with ever ipcreas-
ing fury; the priest hits them now
and then with the sacred stick, to
urge them on; he watches them with
a keen eye, notices that one of them
is near the point OF exhaustion and
then gives the word that the saint
Is coming.
