HORRIBLE CONDITIONS
IN MEXICAN PRISONS
Military Authorities Release the
Wretches Confined in For.
tress at Vera Cruz.

Vera Cruz, May 5.-Rear Admiral
r1etcher's decision TO emove all pris-
oners from the fortress Of San Juan
de Clua was reached after an inspec-
ton had been made by Commander H.
u. Suckney, commander of the port
and the customs, and by officers de-
tailed for that work.
The inspection by the American au-
thorities verified the tales that had
been written and told for generations
OF the terrible conditions prevailing.
Many dungeons were below the water
line when the tide was running in, nj
which times the inmates, many Of
whom were half blind on account of
their long Incarceration in semi dark
ness, were drenched. Other dungeons
were so constructed that it was i'm
possible for the victims to lie down.
ancient devices Of torture were dis
covered and there was evidence that
these recently had been in use.
Among those held in confinement
Were men once of prominence; men
who had been there so long that their
minds were blank and men so enfeebled
by the treatment they had received as
to insure, their transfer to hospitals in
stead OF to prisons. The appearance
OF the prisoners was pitiable.
Each succeeding administration per-
petuated the use OF this ancient fort

cisco /. Madero inspected the prison
Just prior to his taking charge O tho
government at Mexico City. He was
Mortified, and asserted with . much
solemnity that his first official act
would be the removal of the prisoners
and the conversion of the fortress into
an arsenal.
Commander Stickney was ordered to
take over the prison with its shops

MOUNTAIN JEWELLERS

Rome, May 4.-Measures have beer
taken this spring t. combat the Hitter
acy Of the population In the mountain
Gus regions of Romano Campagnia with
renewed vigor. The socalled ambulant
schools, which are moved from place to
place and which are held in the open
air before the huts of the shepherds
will be increased in number. One
of these schools Is at an altitude OF
over $4,000 feet. The teachers, usually
women, reside at the nearest village,
which Is often a great distance away.
Many of these hard working people
drive out from Rome many times q
week in rough carts, at a great sacri-
flee Of strength and comfort, but they
declare they are sufficiently rewarded
by the enthusiasm shown by their pu-
pills.

situation. Afr working at fill

fCl high-priced sugar, they fT2d thas
there is no such demand. Although
the sugar is offered at six cents per
pound, wholesale, sales are slow. The
jobbers and wholesalers, it seems,
stocked up heavily when the war
broke out and, with warehouses load
ed to the rafters, they are not eager
to put more. money into the product.
So the sugar is going begging at six
cents. How long this condition will
last is question, The consumer,
however, as long as he uses the usual
quantity of sugar may rest assured
that he will not profit The retail
price of sugar has been advanced to
about eight cents q pound and it IS
likely that it will be kept there, in
definitely. The old 'law' of supply
and demand appears to have been re
pealed in this century. The only way

the pocket. A lack of demand or a
falling off in demand is likely to re-
suit in reduction in price, for the
iobbers will not care to carry big
