TORTURED IN CUBA.

HORROR ENACTED AT A PUBLIC EXECUTION. Dread Spanish Inquisition Days Snr- - pasted by the Garrote—Unfortunates Slowly Strangled i:o Death on the Scaffold —Agonizing Fate for Five. Work of Official Bnnglera. A startling exhibition of bungling In the execution by the garrote of five Cuban prisoners took place at Havana. The men, classed as “murderers, violators »nd.irtCfcndiftriea’ , belongiag-to-Caya>abo,. were recently sentenced to be garroted, and at 7 o’clock - Tuesday morning a strong force of infantry was drawn up In the form of a square around the spot where the garrote had been erected. The instrument of execution, a ehair with a I>ost behind it, an iron cbllar and screw behind it, which when turned strangles or breaks the neck of the victim, was set, up by the famous executioner, Valentine Ruiz, who, for some reason not fully explained, acted upon this occasion as the assistant to his own assistant instead of as the principal executioner. The five prisoners in their dungeons received the ministrations, of the priests. One mah confessed himself to be guilty of the crimes charged against him and asserted that his companions were innocent, the latter stoutly maintaining their jnnocence to the last. The man selected to be the first victim quietly ahd coolly mounted the steps leading to the chair and took his seat. The man acting executioner thten twistei} the lever or screw handle controlling the garrote, but he was evidently nervous, and this rendered him so weak that his hands slipped repeatedly from the lever. There were horrible, smothering, choking cries from the scaffold, and it was only after a long period of agony for the condemned man and almost, torture for the spectators that the Cuban was pronounced dead. But this was only a beginning of the terrible performance. The second victim Was brought to the front and led lip the steps to the scaffold by the priests and assistant executioner. Upon reaching the platform the unfortunate man made an effort to say something to the people surrounding him, but the executioner’s hand was plifted over his mouth, he was hastily bundled into the deadly chair and in another moment the iron collar was around his neck. If the executioner was nervous upon the occasion of the first killing he was ten times more so upo'n- this occasion. The result was more slow, fearful strangulation and another horrible experience for the spectators.

By fills time the prison officials, the priests and officers in command of the troops had endured so much that they openly denounced the acting executioner and called upon him to get down from the Ncaffold and ' let another man take his place. Thereupon the acting executioner feverishly called upon the executioner-in-chief, Valentine lluiz, who from long experience is looked upon as being an expert in his line. Ruiz, however, was almost as nervous and excited as his assistant nnd fumbled badly as he handled the third Cuban. But he succeeded in accomplishing the execution in shorter tinaeand with less horror than nia-.nggißtant.- Tbe fourth Cuban was then turned over to Ilniz. By this time Ruiz was shaking all over nnd he was much slower nnd considerably clumsier in sending the unhappy man out of the world. So much so thnt there was renewed murmuring at the official incapacity and Ruiz stumbled away from the death post, insisting in choking tones that his assistant must finish the day’s work. Consequently the assistant executioner again tried his hand at the terrible screw and was as unlucky as before, for there was another scene of horror which nearly caused strong men to faint before the fifth Cuban's life was pronounced extitwt. Horror Caused In Washington. The message from Havana giving the details of the killing of five prisoners by the garrote raised a cr-y of horror in Washington. Senor Divpuy do Lome, the Spanish minister, admitted that the men had been killed, but declared that the form of punishment was tho one prescribed by Spanish law. He said the men were negroes, and had been guilty of a most atrocious crime in hanging a merchant at Guira Helena and in killing a small boy at the same place. He said the details of the execution had been exaggerated to ■nit the Cuban sentiment in the United States. The reports to the Cubans in Washington declare that the horrible execution of the five men at Havana is but a sample of the atrocious cruelties of Captain General We.vler in Cuba. They declare they have information indicating that •uch cruelties nre'practiced nearly every day in Cuba, and that they are so horrible as to be beyond comprehension. ~

HAREO’S EIGHTEEN-FOOT BOAT.

TO ROW ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

Two Darina: Men in an Open Boa,t to Cross the Ocean. Preparations are well under way for tbs most daring attempt that has ever made to cross the Atlantic in an open boat. George Harbo, New York pilot, fisherman and seaman from his earliest youth, proposes to row from New York to England, using an ordinary row boat, built after plans designed by himself, and intended to show the improvement which ‘ he claims may be made in the, lifeboats. now in use. No sailing will be done on this extraordinary trip. Harbo sqjc* tre will pull out Into the Atlantic?' with a companion, about the middle of June, and that from then on they will row to Eu-■r-ope.— The two men will take turns in' rowing the boat, each working about eighteen hours a day. Harbo estimates than an average of about four knots an hour, day and night, can be made in this way. the passage in from forty to forty-five days. „ The boat has been built with a stout piece of oak running along the bottomland separated from the keel. Harbo coolly says that this is for the two men to lash themselves to when the boat is upset and the sea is too rough for them to right her. Each man in very rough weather is to be lashed at the end of a long line, tied about his waist, which will hold him to the boat when he is swept overboard, which Harbo expects will occur as a matter of course. In fact, it would seem that although the trip is to be made in June and July, Harbo looks forward to the roughest kind of a time aiid will only be disappointed if he encounters uniformly mild weather. The boat Is 18 feet long with a 5-foot beam. She is clinker-built, of cedar, with oak timber, and weighs 200 pounds, drawing when light but three inches of water. The load which is to be put into her, however, will increase her draft to seven inches. She has the general appearance of a double-ended sea skiff. Th£re is an air tight compartment in either end of the boat some twenty inches deep and three feet six inches, long. These two tanks will make'lfis boat unsinkable when they are intact. jXext to the forward compartment-dJcere will be. a twenty-gallon sheetiron water tank, which will conform exactly to the shape of the boat. Four other small tanka of a capacity of -ten gaHons-each will occupy the corresponding position at the stern. A canvas cover, under which the men may sleep, will button over the forward end of tho boat. The men will carry extra oars and a large pair of sweeps, using the latter When they work together. These, with the instruments, cooking utensils and other will taka up much of the spare room. The provisions are to consist largely of canned

goods and oatenmeal. The latter will bs especially useful, as sea water may be used in boiling it. The canned goods will be selected so as to resist the great heat ofa calm midsummer day on the ocean. Two spirit compasses will be fixed in the bottom of the boat. When the sea is ao rough that little or no headway can be made by rowing, the men will throw over a sea anchor made of canvas and opening like an umbrella. Harbo claims that two hours of work at the oar will make up for the drift of twenty-four hours in a' storm with the sea anchor out." Changes of clothing for the men will be taken lb a water-tight case. Their underclothing isto--be-]imed~withßllkso“ffs"toavoid chafing. Harbo is 32 years of ’age, and has spent his life upon the sea.

ITALIANS SHOW FIGHT.

Attempt to Break Out of the Depor* tation Pen aL, Kills Island. - Tt was one continuous round of excitement on Ellis island Tuesday. Twice a large body of Italians, held for deportation, made desperate attempts to escape from their place of imprisonment, and but for th 6 courage and alertness of the few keepers nnd inspectors who had them in charge riot and bloodshed might have resulted. It was shortly after 10 o’clock when the-first outbreak occurred. There .were 250 savage looking men, mostly Italians, shut inside the “to be deported” pen oh the second floor of the main building. Suddenly there was a murmur among them. It increased to a growl and to a howl of defiance and rage. Hundreds of sunburnt, dirty hands tried to tear open the wire work of the pen. It began to bend and in a moment more would have given way had not the keepers rushed up and down outside, pounding the protruding fingers. Dr. Senner early in the day realized th« gravity of the situation. He telegraphed to Washington that he must have more heip. Just when all seemed peace the Arizona, the steamer which takes the immigrants from Ellis island to the battery, steamed in. As the released immigrant* ran to board her some of them shouted to the throng of ’’detained.” In a moment all was excitement again. A fierce rush was made. Savage blows were struck at the officials, and more than one knife was drawn in the crowd. The officials went at the undisciplined mob fiercely, and after a few minutes' fighting tbs little knot of breathless oflicers had the crowd subdued.

RHEUMATISM.

Jfam the News. Hutchinson. Kansas, This summer, while a representative of Che Hutchinson, was taking his Vacation he had occasion to visit the thriving little city of Peru, 111. He had hardly %ad time to shake hands with friends in ■die city before he was told of the wonderful cure of Mrs. George Perry of rheumatism. Evefy one that has ever lived in Peru, Ill.,(knows Deactm George Perry and wife. They have lived there forty years, and being active workers iff the church and kind, obliging neighbors,' they areboth well known and universally loved. The News representative being always on the lookout for news and wonderful cures, called on Deacon Perry and wife the second day after his arrival. He was meFaf ■the door by Mrs. Perry, an old lady now over seventy years of age. He told her bluntly that he had heard that she had been recently cured of rheumatfsin and' asked for her story, which she readily gave, expressing a desire that she wished that the world at large should know of her good fortune. She said: 1 ~ “AboUt thTee-years ago I was taken .down with the grip and suffe aH winter. After the grip left me I was taken wiit h the rheumatism. —I could absolutely do no work, and for over a year I was so bad I could not pick a pin off the floor. I had the town physicians doctor me and'r tried many remedies, but none of them seemed to do me any good for any 11 length of time. At last my husba/nd noticed an article" in a paper about a wonderful cure brought about by tne use of Pink Pills for rheumatism, and I determined to try once more. 1 used only six boxes of Pink Pills, and long before I took the last box I waif nearly as well as you see me to-day. I now do all my own housework, although I am over seventy years of age, and I have no words at my command to express my gratitude to the manufacturers of Pink Pills, for without their medicine I am satisfied I would still be laid up w r ith rheumatism, and not only been a sufferer but been unable to do any work.” ' Mrs. Perry’s story can be substantiated by hundreds of citizens of La Salle Co., 111., for. her wonderful cure is one of the nmch-ta!ked-of subjects in that locality. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing gll forms of weakness arising from a watery ‘ condition of the blood or Shattered nerves. Tha pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents -a box or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing Dr. Williams’ Med. Co.,Schenectady,N'.Y.
