nibalistic practices by Voodoo wor-
shippers has resulted in the deaths
of at least three innocent children
in Havana, Cuba. A half-dozen Of
the Voodoos have been killed by ap-
plication of lynch law for the first
time in Cuba's history. Fathers and
mothers are living in constant fear
that their little ones may be spirited
away by superstitious negroes to be
the god of the "Brujos," as they are
varied in the Castillian language.
Voodoos are divided in various
sects, each with it's separate god.
The latter include "Babagueye," god
Of sickness; "Elecua," god Of injury,
"Olorrun," god of misery, and Chan
CO." the terrible god, to whom human
sacrifices are made.

belief, was the son of Quorum and
Anargua. He was slain by Elecua,
