GIVE "PRoMissoRY JOHN"
A REST.

(W.P. Walton, in Lexington herald)
"Promissory John, as Mr., Lang
ley is known, for his propensity to
promise anybody anything without
the remotest prospect of keeping
his promise has for years been
drawing the Congressional salary
under false pretense of earning it,
In one of his speeches TO his con-
stituents the other day Mr., Langley
said that he had worked night and
day for his district and until he was
so worn out that he was unable to
lift his feet to the street cars to
carry him home. Poor fellow. 1t
is really cruelty to animals to im-
pose so greatly on him, when Tom
Hatcher could do ten times as much
and not half try, without n word of.
complaint. ...,.. 49,. u. II
But let's see if Mr., Langley's,
statement is warranted by the facts.
A heartless individual has been eN-
aiming the records and finds that
he was absent or failed to vote 81
times out of 81 roll calls, showing
that five Fights of the business
transacted in Congress was with
out the representation Of the Tenth
district If that amount of work
makes Mr.. Langley so tired he can't
raise his feet, what would full duty
do to hlm?. 1t is horrible to con-
template. 1t is barbaruus for the
voters to continue to impose on
him. and If they persist IN doing so
they are not the kind OF people we
take them to be. For goodness sake
give "Promissory" John a rest and
add another Democrat to the Ken
lucky delegation in Congress- which
ought TO be solidly Democratic.
Give "Promissory John" a long, lin

FREE PRISONERS
 FROM DUNGEONS Experience of Monte Cristo No Worse Than That of
 Many Mexicans.
INCREDIBLE HORROR
Once Prominent Mexicans Taken by Americans From Underground Cells Where They Were I'm.
 prisOned for Years.

Vera Cruz, April 3O.--Rear Admiral Fletchers decision, announced yes terday, to remove all prisoners from the fortress of San Juan de Uloa, known for centuries as perhaps the foulest prison on the American conti- nent, came after an examination had been made by H o. Stickey, inspec- tor of the port and the customs, who occupied the place, and by officers especially detailed for the work. This prison constructed in the form of an island in the harbor, held more than 400 prisoners, 300 of whom have been released or transferred to other prisons.
 The inspection by the American au- thorities verified tales that had been written and told for generations of the terrible conditions prevailing there. Many dungeons were below the waterline when the tide was run ing in, at which time the inmates, many of whom were half blind on ac- count of their long incarceration in semi-darkness, were drenched. Other dungeons were so constructed that it was impossible for the victims to lie down. Ancient devices of torture were discovered and there was evil dence that these recently had been in use.
 Among those held in confinement were men oLce of prominence but whose names now almost have been forgotten, men who had been there so long that their minds were blank
 
 ment they had received as to insure their transfer to hospitals instead of to prisons
 The appearance of the prisoners was pitiable. Emaciated creatures stumbled forward. to thank the in specting officers for their delivery. Long boards ill many cases were mat ted over dirty countenances on which once the fashionable element of the Federal capital had looked, for many of those imprisoned were once prom inent in society, in politics and in the army.
 Each succeeding administration perpetuates the use of this ancient fortress as prison-a use to which it was put by the Spanards. The late Francisco I. Madero inspected the prison just prior to his taking charge of the government at Mexico City. He was mortified by what he saw and de- clared with much solemnity that his first official act would be the re- moval of the prisoners and the con- version of the fortress into an arsenal He did go so far as nartially to pre- pare military prisons near Vera Cruz to which he talked of removing the prisoners, but his promises to clean out the prison was one which he ne glected or found impossible to keep.
 Commander Stickey yesterday was ordered to take over the prison win it's shops and everything else pertain ing to it. Such ship work as requir- ed by Mexico's navy had been done there.
 The handling of and providing for the poor of Vera Cruz also was taken in hand yesterday, The poor were beginning to suffer slightly for want of food when the American naval forces undertook the task of provid- ing for them. Not desirous, however, of pauperizing them, work of public character has been provided for the majority of the needy ones.

Cuban flag, while passing up the ped by the constituencies and forced to anchor in the vicinity Of Arboltrande.
 Admiral Mayo states that it was apparently necessary to fire upon the boat before she stopped, as the Antilla reported her helmsman wounded and requested medical as- sistance. Admiral Mayo sent boat with his aide and a medical officer on board. Later number of foreign officers, headed by Captain Doughty of the Hermione, called upon the commander of the constitutionalists for an explanation of the incident.
 The constitutionalist commander explained that they could not let the boat proceed to Tampico as it was necessary for them to stop all stores from reaching the federals, and that they will be obliged to stop all merchant vessels in the future.
 Shortly after this, Admiral Mayo states, the federal gunboat Vera Cruz opened fire on the Antilla and set fire to two big oil lighters tied up at the Waters-Pierce refinery.
 Under cover of this fire, the Antilla got under way and proceeded up the river to Tampico, where she discharg- ed her cargo.
 Admiral Mayo further states in his dispatch that the constitutionalists were momentarily expecting heavy re-inforcements and artillery. As the constitutionalists have been handi- capped by a lack of artillery. The federal forces ill the city have been able to hold their positions. It is said that if these achievements are obtained sanguinary b-ttle will ensue.
 There are about 4000 federals and constitutionalists in and around Tam pico.
