TORTURED IN CUBA. HORROR ENACTED AT A PUBLIC EXECUTION. Dread Spanish Inquisition Days Snrpasaed by the Garrote—Unfortunates Slowly Strangled to Death on the Scaffold— Agonizing Fate for Five. Work of Official Bunglers. 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 and incendiaries” belonging to Cayajabo, 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 chair with a post behind it, an iron collar 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 man confessed himself to be guilty of the crimes charged against him and asserted that his companions were innocent, the latter stoutly maintaining their innocence to the last. । The man selected to be the first victim quietly and coolly mounted the steps lead- < ing to the chair and took his seat. The i man acting as executioner then twisted ’ the lever or screw handle controlling the < garrote, but he was evidently nervous, ] and this rendered him so weak that his i hands slipped repeatedly from the lever. 1 There were horrible, smothering, choking < cries from the scaffold, and it was only < after a long period of agony for the con- i detuned man and almost torture for the i spectators that the Cuban was pronounc- i cu dead. 1 But this was only a beginning of the 1 terrible performance. The second victim was brought to the front and led up the steps to the scaffold by the priests and assistant executioner. Upon reaching the i platform the unfortunate man made an , effort to say something to the people sur- i rounding him, but the executioner’s hand : was placed over his mouth, he was hastily j bundled into the deadly chair and in an- I : other 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 upon this occasion. ' The result was more slow, fearful strangulation and another horrible experience for the spectators.

TIA RI O'S EIGHTEEN-FOOT BOAT.

By this time the prison officials, the priests and officers iu command of the troops had endured so much that they openly denounced the acting executioner and called upon him to get down from the •caffold and let another man take his place. Thereupon the acting executioner feverishly- called upon the executioncr-in chief, Valentine Ruiz, w ho from long experience is looked upon as being an expert In his line. Ruiz, however, was almost ns nervous and excited as his assistant and fumbled bad'.;- ' he succeeded in accomplishing the execution in shorter time and w ith less horror than his assistant. The fourth Cuban was then turned over to Ruiz. Ry this time Ruiz was shaking all over and he was much slower and considerably clumsier in sending the unhappy man out of the world. So much so that 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 rhe terrible screw and was as unlucky as before, for there was another scene of horror w hich nearly caused strong men to faint before the fifth Cuban's life was pronounced extinct. Horror Caused in Washington. The message from Havana giving the details of the killing of live prisoners by the garrote raised a cry of horror in Washington. Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, admitted that the men had been killed, but declared that the form of punishment was the 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 suit 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 Weyler in Cuba. They declare they have information indicating that «uch cruelties are practiced nearly every day in Cuba, and that they are so horrible as to be beyond comprehension. SLAIN AT ADOWA. Gen.

TO ROW ACROSS THE ATLANTA 1 — Two Darins Men in an Open Boat to Cross the Ocean. ' Preparations arc well under way for most daring attempt that has ever “ made to cross the Atlantic in an °P boat. George Harbo’ Ntfw York P* a ’ fisherman and seaman from his eat n youth, proposes to row from New 1° to England, using an ordinary rov ^ built after plans designed by himself,s intended to show the improvement wBl z he claims may be made in the liteboa now in use. No sailing will be done o this extraordinary trip, llarbo sajs will pull out into the Atlantic with » companion, about the middle of June, an that from then on they will row to Ku rope. The two men will take turns in rowing the boat, each working abou eighteen hours u day. llarbo estimates than an average of about four- knots an hour, day and night, can be made in this way. According to this they would^mak® the passage in from forty to forty-five days. The boat has been built with a stout piece of oak running along the bottom and separated from the keel. Harbo coolly sa>s 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 tb«t although the trip is to be made in Juns and July, Harbo looks foxward to the roughest kind of a time and 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 la to bo put into her, however, will increase her draft to seven inches. She has the general appearance of a double-ended sea skiff. There 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 the boat unsinkable when they are Intact. Next to the forward compartment there will be a twenty-gallon shoetiron water tank, which will conform exactly to tfh« shape of the boat. Four other small tanka of a capacity of ten gallons each will occupy the corresponding position at the stern. A canvas corer, 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 nereesitiea, will taka up much of the spare room. The pro visions are to consist largely of canned

goods and oatcnmcal. The latter will b« especially useful, a. tea water may b« used m boiling it. The canned goods will be selected so ns to resist the great" heat i of a cttltn midsummer day on the ocean. Two spirit eompa-M-s will be fixed in th« | bottom of the boat. When the sea is »e rough that little or no headway can b. 1 made by rowing, the men will throw orei a sea anchor made of canvas and opening j like an umbrella. Harbo claims rhat two hours of work at rhe oar will make up for i the drift of twenty four hours in a storm with the sea anchor out. Changes of j clothing for the men will be taken in a water-tight case. I heir underclothing is to be lined with silk so as to avoid chafing. Harbo is 32 years of age, and has spent his life upon the sea. ITALIANS SHOW FIGHT. Attempt to Brcuk Out of the Deportation Pen nt Ellis Inland. It wa» one continuous round of excitei num on Lilis island Tuesday. Twice a large body of Italians, held for deportai tion, made desperate attempts to escape from their place of imprisonment, and ; but for the courage and alertness of the I few keepers and inspectors who had them । in charge not and bloodshed might have resulted. It was shortly after 10 o'clock when 1 the first outbreak occurred. There wera . • 250 savage looking men. mostly Italian*, shut inside the "to be deported” pen on । rhe-secoud floor if the main building. , Suddenly there was a murmur among 1 them. It increased to a growl and to a howl of defiance and rage. Hundreds o f sunburnt, dirty hands tried to tear opea 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 the gravity oi the situation. He telegraphed to Washington that he must have more help. Just when all seemed peace the Arizona, the steamer which takes the immigrants from Ellis island to the battery, steamed in. As the released immigrants tan to board her seme of them shouted to the throng of “detained.” In a moment all was excitement again. A fierce rush was made. Savage blows were 1 struck at the officials, and more than one knife was drawn in the crowd. The officials went at the und.sc.phned mob fierce^ ly. and after a few minutes' lighting th« little knot of breathless officers had the crowd subdued. Sparks from the XX ires.

Mr. Xeno W.

Then I was interested, and proceeded to interview him. ‘What do I take ’em fur?' he answered my query. ‘See here, young fellow, what do ye take yer swag fur? Fun, ain't it? Yer see, when a fellow’s liver and stomach is out er whack ther ain’t much fun in my biz; so I gets these here pills and then I have fun. A felloxx- can have lots o’ fun trampin’ If ’is stomach’s in good order. So that’s what I takes ’em fur; just fun. Where do I live? Usualy about where I happen ter be. Yer see, I live there because I haiu't happened ter die there yet. thanks ter these little fellows,' holding up Jhe vial. Partly in a spirit of jest I told him it might be considerably to bis advantage to give some address where he might be reached. ‘I don't take no advantages,’ he answered sagely, 'I just take those ’er pills an’ travel.'
