,. WEYLllll’lllllltlllllllllS Shocking Crimes Against Civilization Committed Daily. - PRISONERS FED T0 SHARKS. More Than Threescore Disposed of“ In' That Manner \Vithin a Month—Sugar Plantations Destroyed by Both Sides—Deaths In Havana. TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 7.—Advices received here today from Havana under date of Oct. 3 say: Since Sept. 25 the rebels have remained in the outskirts of Guanabaco and the Vibora, beyond Jesus del Monte (Havana suburbs), firing at the forts of both places. This is reported by Spanish Officers, but not published in the papers.» The censor- ship is stricter than ever, a proof that things are not favorable to the govorno ment. The office of chief of police, correspond- ing'to colonel of the army, has been given ' to Commander La Barrera, because no colonel of the army has been willing to accept the office under the conditions of dishonesty and cruelty imposed by Weyler. Horrible crimes are committed every night by order of La Barrera and Govern- or Porrua, who is of the same type as La Barrera. Every night at the police head- quarters some prisoners are taken out and put on the books as released. These indi- viduals are guarded by one celador (police delegate) and two policemen and taken betwoen 1 and 3 a. m. to a landing .place at the entrance of the harbor, two blocks from the police headquarters. Once there the prisoners and the three policemen“ step into a boat and start off. They don’t land anywhere, but after awhile the ofi‘icers come back without the .prlsdners. This action has been watched night after night. From Sept. 1 to Sept. 26, 63 prisoners 'have disappeared in this way, drowned outside of the Morro. The last two vic- tims were drowned on Sept. 26. They were an old man and a young man. On stepping in the boat the Old man asked where they were bound to. The young man said: “Why, don’tyou know? We are going to be murdered.” ‘ Prisoners are taken out from Cabanas and Morro and drowned in the same way. The families of officers living in Morro castle and the Cabanas have made a com- . plaint of the lamentations and cries they hear late in the night; The cries are at- tributed to prisoners ill treated and taken out. 'On Sept. 23 a fisherman netifled the police of the presence of two. dead bodies lying on the seashore next to Morrc. These bodies Were those of countrymen, one about 50 years of age and the other about 20. Both Men Butchered. The elder one showed two bullet wounds in the back, five bayonet wounds .in the stomach and chest and threat. The young man had a bullet wound in the loin and several bayonet wounds in. the body and throat. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and pieces of rope were tied to their necks. The bodies seemed to have been in the water for some time, and pu- trefaction had begun. The bodies were seen by a number of persons, who Were driven away by Spanish soldiers. The wounds Were made by mauser bullets. Three men—Brombin, Cara de Guaya and Soon—confined as suspects, were taken ' from prison last Thursday night, carried a few miles outside of Havana and shot to death. These men were noted on the po- lice books as released. ' The story of the bomb loaded with 14 pounds of dynamite found under a gas main was a lie. It was a trick of Chief of Police La Barrera, so stupidly managed that the truth was soon discovered, and every one made fun of it. Two men have been arrested as having placed La Barrera’s dynamite bomb. They are kept at the police station and tortured to make them confess. ' The torture con- sists of feeding them with dry ccdfish and not allowing ,them any drink. No other food is allowed, and they die of starvation if they refuse to eat the salted fish. Both parties—Spanish and insurgents— are burning sugar mills. Two weeks ago 19 were burned in Matanzas province. In Havana province all are being burned. In Tapaste, near Havana, 30 ”Spaniards were overpowered and killed by the insur- gents. Troops came too late to the rescue, but entered the town [and killed peaceful and unarmed men, among them the may- or, a Spaniard. The Cuban leader Laso recently took the town of Les Canas and burned most of it. Havana's Death Rate. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Dr.Burgess, san- itary inspector of the marine hospital service at Havana, reports to Surgeon Gen- eral Wyman 224 deaths in that city during the week ended Sept. 24. Thirty-nine of these deaths were caused by yellow fever, with '42 new cases approximately. Thirty- two were caused by smallpox, with ap- proximately 210 new cases. Thirty-five of the 39 deaths during the week from yellow fever occurred in the military hospital, with 30 new cases. The remaining 4 deaths, with 12 new cases, were among civilians in the city. All of the 32 deaths from smallpox, except one, as well as the new cases, Were among civilians. An Engagement Reported. HAVANA. Oct. 7. —News has just been received here of an engagement which took place on Monday near Guamo, in the west- ern part of the province of Pinar del Rio, between the Spanish troops under General Bernal and Colonel Gromedos and the in- surgents under Antonio Maceo. The latter is reported to have lost 80 men killed and to have retired with many wounded. The troops lost over 100 men. No further de- tails of the fight have been received.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-—-At the request of the interior department the secretary of war has sent troops to Tuskaboma, in the Choctaw country,to guard against trouble which is apprehended by Agent Wisdom when the new chief of the tribe is installed. The order was sent ' to General Merritt at Chicago, and the troops sent forward were two troops of cavalry who were at the practice camp, Swan lake, near Pond creek, just west oflthe Oklahoma line.

' ' HE EZAE EEEEES EOE T The Emperor of Russia Enters Paris Amid Wild Acclaim. AN EN THUSIASTIC WELCOME The French Capital Wild \Vith Excite- ment—A Procession to the Embassy Between Lines of TrOops and , Cheering Multitndos. PARIS, Oct. 7. —The czar and czarina arrived here safely. at Ranelagh station from Cherbourg today. The weatherwas fine, and the countless decorations showed splendidly in the sunlight The czar and czarina were accorded a rapturous popular reception and reached the Russian em- bassy, where they will remain during their visit’ to this city, at 11 o’clock. The crowds began asé'embling along the route of the procession soon after daylight, and by 8 a. m. the streets were thronged with enthusiastic spectators. A double line of troops held the route from the rail- road station to the embassy from 7 o’clock, and the soldiers were re-enforced by lines of gendarmes, sergents de ville and detect- ives, the last including a number of agents of the Russian secret police and picked men from the nihilist detective corps. Among the many decorations Russian and French flags, intwined or floating side by side, predominated. The trees, balconies, roofs, lampposts and statues were all orna- mented tastefully, and the paper flowers on the trees and the columns painted to imitate stone and surmounted by Russian double headed eagles which lined the Champs Elysees and the various other fea— tures of street decoration presented a unique and beautiful appearance. The special train with President Faure; the president of thesenate, M. Loubet; the president of the chamber of deputies, M. Brisson; the premier, M. Meline, and the cabinet ministers and others on board ar- rived at Versailles at 8:30 a. m., and it was soon afterward followed by the im- perial train. The czar and czarina were re- ceived at Versailles by President Faure, after which they entered the president’s train and the party started for the Bane- lagh station. . At Ranelagh the czar and czarina were met by the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies, all the cabinet min- isters, General Saussier, the military "gov- ernor of Paris; Cardinal Richard, arch- bishop of Paris; the civil and municipal authorities and other high Oflficials. The arrival of the-party was signaled to the ex- pectant multitudes by a flourish of trum- pets, after which there was _a long“ roll from the drum corps, the guard of honor presented arms, and the troops were called to attention from one end of the route to the other, causing the crowds to begin cheering from the station to the embassy. Enthusiasm of the Crowds. _ About the station the air was rent with roars of “Viva le czar!” .“,Vive l’em- pereur'!” and ‘tVive la republlquel” Hats, sticks, umbrellas, handkerchiefs, etc., were waved wildly in the air. The czar wore the uniform of a colonel of Russian rifles, and across his breast was the scarf of the grand cordon of the Legion of Hon.- Or. He replied with a military salute to the presented arms of the guard of honor, and the czarina bowed in response to the welcoming shouts of the populace. President Faure, in saluting the imperi- al couple, removed his' hat, and at the' same moment a battery at Mont Valerian fired the first shot of a’salute of 101 guns. The usual formal presentations then took place, after which President Faure offered his arm to the czarina, and, with the czar on his right, returned to the platform of the railroad station. The czar then re- viewed the detachment of the Garde Re- publicaine on duty. - When this ceremony was concluded, the imperial party and President Faure and their suits entered the state carriages in waiting, and the ceremonious entry of Paris was begun. The scene outside the station at that time was one of wild en- thusiasm. Shout after shout arose from the multitude of spectators. The proces- sion passed the Arc de Triomphe and was wildly cheered by the immense crowds fill- ing the avenues'surrounding it. As the carriages passed down the Champs Elysees there was one continuous roar of mingled shout-s for the czar, the president and the republic. The crowd formed a tumultuous sea of waving hats and arms, etc., kept in bounds by the long lines of brilliantly uniformed troops with glitter- ing swords and bayonets. The rest of the route to the Russian em- bassy was equally thronged, and the ap- plause from the windows and balconies, let long in advance at high prices, was as enthusiastic as that which they received from the crowds below. The rbofs of the houses were also crowded with applauding people. A Picturesque Escort. There were 15 carriages in all in the pro-. cession, and they were escorted by detach- ments from the French-African cavalry regiments, the spahis, with their turbans and long white cloaks, lined with red or blue, and the gallant Chasseursd’Afrique, whose light blue uniforms, baggy red trousers and splendid Arabian horses were much admired by all. The cuirassiers, with glittering steel breastplates and hel- mets, long, trailing horsehair plumes and strong, prancing horses, also furnished a detachment to the escort. as did also the fine cavalry of the Republican guard. The horses of the carriages were ridden by postilions. The first contained the czar and czarina and President Faure, the lat- ter sitting with his back to the horses. The president, after reaching the Rus- sian embassy, remained with the czar for a quarter of an hour, during which the czar expressed to him how deeply he and the czarina were aflected by the heartiness of the welcome accorded them by the citi- zens of Paris and their representatives. According to the programme, .after lunching at the embassy the czar and cza- rina drove to the Russian church in the Rue Daru, Where a “Te Deum” was sung. They proceeded to the Elysee palace in or- der to call on the president of the republic. There was also a state dinner at the Elysee, and the day’s ceremonies ended with a demi gala performance at the Comedic Francoise. _ The imperial party tomorrow will visit the most important public buildings, in- cluding the Louvre,’ the Invalides, the Salute Chapelle, Notre Dame, the Hotel de Ville, the Pantheon, the mint, the Sar- bonne, etc., and in the evening they will be present at a gala performance at the opera. .. The czar will also lay the first étone of the new Alexander III bridge, which will also serve as the stone laying of the exhibi- tion of 1900, for which“; will be used. . v UNIQUE CELEBRATION.
