Cuban Horror*.
i.
Washington, June s.—The testi
mony of Frederick W. Lawrence, re
ferred to by Mr. Morgan in the Sen
ate, Was taken privately before the
subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations May 30 in re
gard to the situation in Cuba. Law
rence stated that he had gone to Cuba
as a newspaper correspondent and had
been expelled. He had found it im
possible to secure much information
from the Spanish authorities and
learned afterwards that what was
given out was untrue.
Referring to the trial of Laborde
and Milton, captured on board the
Competitor, Lawrence said that
neither the prosecution nor the de
fense asked any questions, that the
five were tried at once and that the
trial, which resulted in the sentence
of death, lasted less than a day.
Asked if there was an interpreter
present, Lawrence said there A-as, but
that he did not make his presence
known to the prisoners until they
were asked whether they had any
thing to say in their own defense.
These long statements were read by
the judge advocate in Spanish. The
evidence was given in Spanish and not
translated in their hearing. "Their
defender did not communicate to them
the substance of it nor utter one sin
gle word to them,'1 said Lawrence.
?‘l have every reason to think
their defending counsel could not
speak English. Then they were asked
What they had to say in defense, but
notin English. The presiding officer of
the court martial—there were ten of
them, what we might call the jury—
the presiding officer of that body said
to Laborde in Spanish, "What have
you to say?” He said a few words and
so it went on till the last man was
reached—William Gildea and the pre
siding officer spoke to him, and he did
not understand him, and then the in
terpreter got up and said: "Do you
wish to say anything?” Gildea arose
and said: ‘All I have to say Is I do not
understand one word that has been
said to-day for or against me, and at
any rate. X appeal to both the British
and American consuls.’ There werd
two prisoners who could not speak
an* understand Spanish—Milton and
Gildea.” •
A LETTER FROM MELTON.
The Young Kansan Mow In a Caban
Prison Wrltss of tbs Horrors.
Key West, Fla., June 8.—A letter
has been received here from Owen
Melton, the young Kansan captured
on the schooner Competitor and sen
tenced to death in Havana, in which
he describes the barbarities practiced
by Spaniards on prisoners confined in
Moro Castle and Fort Cabanas as fol
lows: "The world will never know
the barbarities that are practiced by
the Spaniards on the suepects con
fined in Moro CaBtla and Fort
Cabanas. They are being tortured and
shot without trial almost daily. On
May 3(1 Faustrino Pardone, 16 years
old, was captured in the outskirts of
Havana by Spanish guerillas and
lodged In Cabanas. It was suspected
that the boy had been in communica
tion with the insurgents. To make
Pardone confess he was stripped and
suspended by the arms, while a Span
ish lieutenant whipped the boy on the
bare flesh with a heavy whip Par
done's back, shoulders and breast
were soon a bleeding pulp and he was
shrieking in agony. Then the officer
asked Pardone if he had done certain
things and in his terrible pain the boy
would scream ‘yes. yes.’ This was
written at the boy’s deposition. Such
things are of daily occurrence in the
Cabanas.
“At night volleys of musketry are
frequently heard. The next dav the
prisoners know what these vbllevs
mean when they miss the faces of well
known prisoners and from ten to fif
teen are crowded in one cell.
"There are several Americans in
Cabanas^ among them being the Amer
icans captured with the schooner Com
petitor. Part of these are in one tell
and part ip another. Julio Sanguillv
is also imprisoned here. He is given
a separate cell. Numbers of Cubans
have been found at their homes suffer
ing from wounds and have been
dragged, awfully and thrown in the
dungeons of Fort Cabanas.

THE SENATE INDIGNANT.
Insists on Public Buildings by a Vote of
58 to O—The House Scored.
Washington, June 8.—In the Senate
Sir. Allison reported a partial agree
ment on the sundry civil appropriation
bill. He explained that a number of
items were still open, including those
for new public buildings at Salt Lake
City and at the capitals of the new
states of Idaho, Wyoming and Mon
tana and additions for the public
buildings at Kansas City, Savannah,
Ga.. and Camden, N. J.
Mr. Dubois made a vigorous plea
for public buildings at the new capi
tals. He said that it . was notorious
that the speaker of the house and the
chairman ot the house committee on
public buildings and grounds declined
to approve any new public buildings.
And yet Speaker Reed resided m a
place with 30,000 people with a public
building costing $1,153,000 and the
district represented by Chairman
Milliken of Maine, of the House com
mittee on public buildings, had federal
buildings in five towns. The chairman
of the House committee lived in a
town which would not make a suburb
of one of these Western capitals. The
county seats in some of these new
states were larger than any town in
the districts represented by these gen
tlemen (Reed und Milliken).
Mr. Vest said it was an established
Dolicy to give the new states a public
building at their capital.
After further debate the Senate
conferees were instructed to insist on
all the public buildiug items. To em
phasize the insistence a yea and nay
vote was taken, resulting 58 to 0.

VETO OVERRIDDEN IN THE UP

Fifty-Six Members Oppose and Only F1t<
Stand by President Cleveland—Mr. Test
Makes Another Bitter Attack on the
Chief Magistrate—His Veto Was Se
verely Criticised.
The Rivera BUI ■ Lew.
Washington! June 4.— As soon ns
the Senate met to-day Mr. Vest, who,
in the absence of Mr. Frye, is in
charge of the rivers and harbors bill,
sought to have the President's veto of
that measure brought up. This was
opposed by Mr. Pettigrew, in charge
of the Indian appropriation bill con
ference report.
Vest urged that the suspension
and possible destruction of the work
of improvement of international
water ways was of more moment than
any other one subject, save that of
the national honor. I* was imper
ative that the question be settled now,
so that if the veto was sustained it
could be determined whether any
other rivers and harbors bill' was to
be framed.
The bill and veto were taken up,
yeas 3d, nays 10, the negative vote
«««■ J.v Messrs. Date, (Jhuton,
Harris, Palmer and Vilas, Democrats,
and Brown, Morrill, Pettigrew, Pritch
ard and Teller, Uepublicans.
Mr. Vest said tliut the veto contained
statements which, however much he
might respect the high office of Presi
dent. ought not to go unchallenged.
He did not question the President’s
veto prerogative, but the framers o(
the constitution never had intended
that this power should be used in the
ordinary affairs of the government.
It was to be a power to meet extra
ordinary contingencies when popular
passion had led to hasty legislation
or when a constitutional question was
involved. The early Presidents who
stood nearest to the constitution ex
ercised the veto power but seven
times—twice by Washington, five
times by Madison and never by Jeffer
son or John Adams.
The President had, Mr. Vest said,
stated that the bill made direct ap
propriations of #14,000.000, while in
fact they aggregated $12,008,900, a
difference of $1,391,100. This was
hardly characteristic of the emana
tions of Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Vest took up other items, show
ing that the totals were less than the
President’s statements would indicate.
As to the general charge of extrava
gance, in connection with the vast in
terests involved and the extent of the
country, and the fact that the river
and harbor bill covered two years this
measure was reasonable. There were
items open to question, but in all
legislation this was a result of com
promise. He had addressed a letter
to General Craighill, chief of engineers,
asking for the facts ns to the state
ment of the (’resident that he
had learned from official sources that
the bill contained appropriations in
tended to serve private interests. Gen
eral Craighill made no reply, but in
response to a telegraphic querv
answered that the letter had been
“referred to the secretary of war for
instructions.*’ Up to this date no in
formatfon had been given. “So, for
reasons best known to the administra
tion,” he said bitterly, “it is considered
best not to go into details, but to in
lulge in general and historical declam
ations as to the alleged extravagance
Mid favoritism in it. ”
Mr. Vest said that he believed tliat
me of the present changes applied to
Lhe Brunswick, Ga.. harbor, one of
[.he best and most economical im
provements in the country. He spoke
if cheaper rates of transportation re
sulting from improvements at the Soo.
Mew Orleans. Baltimore, New York,
Boston anri elsewhere. In the plat
form on which Mr. Cleveland was first
lominated was a strong plank for
water improvements, and his early
nessage indorsed these improvements,
rhe speaker prophesied that in the
lear future legislation would be di
•ected to further development Of m
lernational commerce and cheapening
ransportation.

! THE POLITICAL ARENA.
Western States to Be Hade the Battle* ■
Ground of the Campaign.
Washington, June 5.—With free
silver triumphant at Chicago, it is
conceded by politicians generally that
the great fight in the coming cam
paign will be in the West. New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut will be
allowed to take care of themselves.
Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and West
ern mining states heretofore Repub
lican will be the battle-ground. This
being the case. New York is almost
certain to be abandoned as the head
quarters of the campaign committees
Already a movement has been started
to make Chicago the Democratic head
quarters. While the Republicans ex
pect to raise most of their monev ia
the East, good politics suggests that,
they, too, pitch their tent near where
the fight is to be the thickest.
There is a good deal of speculation,
being indulged in at present as to who
will be selected as the chairmen of
the two great parties. Senator Quay
is thought to be the choice of the
McKinleyites to succeed Thomas H.
Carter. If Senator Quay does not
-take the place he will have a good
deal to say about who will receive the
appointment. With a free silver can
didate and a free silver platform, Mr.
Harrity s usefulness as chairman of
the Democratic campaign committee
will bo at an end. Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, is being prominently men
tioned for the place.
Kansas Democratic I'reforenom.
TorEKA, Kan., June 6.—The Kansas
delegation to the naLional Democratic
convention is divided in its prefer
ences for president. There is not one
ot the twenty who will support an.
Eastern candidate, Bland of Missouri
is the choice of in, Botes of Iowa of
4 and Governor Matthews of Indiana.
ot 4. Ex-United States Senator John,
Martin and David Overmyer, the lead
ers in the delegation, are for Eland,
and will make an effort to give him.
the solid vote of the delegation. ■
Senator Quay Likely to Withdraw.
Washington, June 6.—Xo one need!
be surprised if Senator Quay with
draws from the presidential race with
in the next few days und requests his.
supporters to cast their votes for Mc
Kinley. It is understood that lie has.
already written a letter to that effect
to a member of the Pennsylvania del
egation and is withholding it to con
sult friends.
