This I believe to be the smallest lose in
any one year since I assumed charge of
the department, something over twenty
three years ago.
While the fire was raging in Wilton
avenue, I called the ationtiou of our
Water Commissioners to the shortage of
water (for some reason unexplained).
and they promised to remedy the defect
at once, which they have done very
effectually, attaching a six-inch pipe to
the main on Cross street, and running
any 200 feet up Wilton avenue to a point
west of the electric light station, and
placing a large steamer hydrant thereon
This gives fine pressure to that point,
and an extra supply through the cutim
avenue.

Went, Dee. Maintenance is belnmn'euh'
ed. and, remorseleuly, on the people of
Guanabecoa for the raids which the insur-
mohtl have been committing almost with
impunity on this suburb of Barnum-not
farther distant from the capital than
Brooklyn in trons New York.
Foudenviela. the nbvr military com-
mander, has literally terrorized the town.
He had not been here 24 hours before saw
on native Cubans, who were contented of
sympathy with the revolution, were seized
and mwbcted without trial or other fenn-
ality.
The victims of this massacre were: Ps-
dro and Tomas Sotolongo, brothers; Ju-
lio Pastoriza; Julio Morales, belonging to
one of Cuba’s host families: Ramon and
Francisco Ruiz, under-takers, and anacio
Valenzuela.
Arrests have followed arrests since with
startling rapidity. What has been done
with all the prisoners, however, is the
most alarming thing in connection with
Fondcsvioia's work. Many of them are be-
lieved to have suffered the fate of the vic-
tims of the massacre that so quickly fol-
lowed his taking command hero.
The reign of terror has been responsible
for a general exodus of native Cnban‘ fmn»
flies able to got away. Some have trans
ferred their homes to Havana, across the
bay. Others have sacrificed their belong-
ings for a song and are seeking passports
to leave the island.
One of Spain’s Butchers.
Fondceviola has proved more merciless
in town than he has been In the field, and
his reputation as a butcher of moifloos
without regard to age, sex or condition,
only providing that they are native Cu-
bans, is almost equal to Mclquizo's. 30m
dcsvicla. in fact, has already made just
such a reputation for himself here as Woy
lcr did when a youthful subordinate in

soda
There were many executions yesterday;
it is impossible to learn how many.
Luis Taintcro and Jose Arbclo, a coach«
man, are known to have been of the num~
her killed.
The people of the place who are myste-
riously missing and are supposed by their
families and friends to have been summa-
rily and secretly dealt with make a long
list. Among them are Jose Currimo of
Concepcion street, E. Cisnoros of Corral
False street and 12 others, who were uri
rested yesterday; Francisco Hernandez,
Josie do la-L. Herrera and “other real
dents of Cojimar Beach and Pancho Dela-

hlnrique Gulrei, municipal doctor and
fomeriy mayor of Grinnalfacoa, also panic
under the ban. 'Hc Was arrested and his
house ransacked for incriminating evi-
dence. Valuables were taken at the some
imc. and it Is now announced that the
cote: will spend the rest of his days at
one of the dread penal settlements in Al-
rica. _
Another of Fondcsvlcla's startling
crimes was the murder of a grocer of Car-
ral False street, a native Cuban. llis
clerk, seeking revenge, said to the com-
mander that hiecmployer was aiding the
rebels. Fondcsviela unhesitatlngly accept-
ed the [ad's statement, and the next day
the man was taken to data and killed.
Europa Will Not [Kelp Spain.
Lotions, Dec. {it—Tho correspondent of
The Chronicle at Washington in a cubic
dispatch to that paper declares that there
in no doubt that Spain has unofficially,
through Senor Dupuy do Lomc, its minis-
ter, promised to accept the United Statcs‘
mediation directly General Woylor has
cleared the province of Plant do! Rio of
rebels and then to grant anything short
of actual independence for Cuba. This dis-
patch then continues:
“ None of the European powers has
protested against American intervention
in Cuba. 0n the contrary, Mr. ()inoy has
been assured of their approval. England,
however, remaining strictly neutral. The
reports of a Burupcrln protest were inspired
by Mgr. Mortimelll, the pontlflcal delegate
in the United States "
The Chronicle also again asserts that
"the ridiculous statement" of M. de Blow
its, the Paris correspondent of The Times,
that Germany and other European govern-
ments were preparing to protest against
American Intervention in Cuba, is abso-
lutely unfounded."
An otiiforial in The Daily News says:
“if fipain were better informed on for-
eign opinion, they would see that their
«:rnoltica raise the strongest prejudice
against them In the United States. Rizal,
executed at Moniila, may do his captors
more harm (load than alive. " '
The Paris correspondent of The Daily
News, reviewing the news as to Spanish
American relations from various quarters,
says that the trend of circumstances is
toward conwmmlso. “It is stronger than
the stiff necked Spanish pride," ho contin-
ues “’I'hc Spaniards are sick of Cuba, and
those who are behind the sooner say that
Senor Canons Is preparing to forget his
rash vows and to compromise with the re-
bellion. ”
'i'bo Madrid correspondent“ The Stand-
ard says:
“Them In much animation in political
and military circles, where the tide is set
ting against Captain fieneral Woylcr, who,
it In expected, will be speedill recalled an-
ion he gains striking successes.
“’l‘bo gown-amour authorizes General
Polavlela, captain moral of the Philip-
pines, to w several million dollars
from the banks at flanilia and Houston;
to continue the campaign until tbe'oortos
meets.
“Rizal was shot at Nannie yesterday in
the presence of an immense crowd. lie
was first untsnoed under General Poisviev
in new policy of vigorous repression and
summary carryingut of sentences. Gen-
eral Polavlels a uteri himself during

when he fell from his horse his followers
thought him dead. but afterward found
that ho was still alive, but spread the re-

treatment of Drs Fri-min Valdez Dmnln.
guez and Pancho Dominguez, ho is room

now passed. as ho had only one serious
wound, in the stomach. Further details
of the allegations say that the other
wounds, in his jaw and his book, caused
only slight injuries, as no bones were
fractured. It is sold that Marco‘s first

This bequest included the ancestral estate
of 00 acres. worth perhaps 8100.000, and
about $200,000 in other property. The ‘

Brninard, a New York lawyer, came here
a tow weeks ago in the interests of Anson
Pond and Mrs. Porter, with a proposition
for settlement. Secret meetings were held
with the city officials and members of the
park board. As a result, a resolution was
introduced and passed in the common

settlement if they saw fit. A desperate sn-
