The KxccutloncrH Nervous ami
Forci the Condeimifd Men to I>ie
Dentin that Cauao tlia UunriU and
Spectutors to Turn Awn; Frum the
Sceue In Utuiuit Horror.
Havana, April 1.—Never iu modern
times has tlioro boon a more sickening
spectacle than that which attended the
execution of livo Cubans li -re yester-
day. The moil had been condemcod to
death by the garroto as murderers, vio-
lators and incendiaries. Troops were
drawn up in a hollow square and in
tlio middle were placed the ohair and
post.
ltuiz, tho public exeoutioner, depu-
tized an assistant to oouduot tho affair.
Tho condemned men, having received
the offices of tho church, were brought
into tho square to meet their fato. One
of them had confee6ed his guilt nnd af-
firmed tho innoeenco of all the others
who also protested that they were guilt-
lass.
Tho first man to die took his seat in
tho ohair calmly; tho iron collar was
fixed about his neck and the cap drawn
over his face. Tho executioner un-
dertook to apply the screw, but was bo
excited that his hand slipped repeatedly,
with tho result that the victim died by
strangulation, emitting tho while tho
most distressing cries.
The executionors, priests, soldiers and
prison officials present turnod their
heads away in horror and became
deadly pale as the stifled sounds came
from the sufferer.
Tho second execution was accom-
plished with even moro distressing awk-
wardness and delay, tho executioner be-
ing almost on tho verge of collapso as
he performed his horrible function.
The protests of the ofl'.cers and the
priests forced Ruiz to undertake tho
third execution, but ho did little hotter
than his assistant had done.
Tho fourth victim of the bungling
garroters was likewise tortured aud
then Ruiz literally tied from his post,
leaving his assistants to put to death
the fifth of the unfortuuato Cubans,
who escaped none of tho agonizing ex-
periences that had attended tho execu-
tion of liis follows.
Tho whole affair has left upon those
who witnessed it and upon tiaoso to
whom it has been described a deling of
tho utmost horror.

Tlint In tiio Opinion of Ki'jert Knpplrye,
Who Han Hccn It:tiiish«-d.
New York, April L.—Aanoug the
passengers on board tha steamer Yuca-
tan, which has just numbed here, was
Etbert Rappleye, the newspaper cor-
respondent, who, after threo months'
stay in Cuba, was banished from the
island by a decree of Captaiu Geuoral
Woyler. Mr. Rappieye in an interview
said:
"I unhesitatingly stato that within
three months tho insurgent cause in
Cuba will triumphant if tho United
States government will grant belliger-
ent rights and give to the Cubans any-
thing resembling a lighting opportun-
ity. Tho Spaniards are now on tho de-
fensive. Every battle fought iu Cm a
in the last threo days has been invited
by the rebels. Tho Cubans now practi-
cally hold tho island of Cuba. Tho
troops of Spain havo been, as they aro
now, entirely on tho defensive.
"When Genoral Macao started on his
western campaign ono-tlr.rd of his men,
16,000 in number, were unarmed. Ilis
forces havo engaged in battle with but
threo cartridges each, depending entire-
ly on tho capturo of tho onomy's train
for the ammunition to continue tho
fight. Theso men fight liko tigers, and
with the supply of arms and ammuni-
tion supplied by tho Bermuda thoy aro
again marching toward Havana. If tho
Cubans h I enough arms they could
put 100,000 men in tho fiold.
"Tho insurgent troops aro well of-
ficered aud aro as perfectly organised as
tho Spanish. Tho Cubans havo boen so
near Havana that tho burning planta-
tions could bo seen from the housetops,
and the C bans have captured plaeos
only a fow miles from the capital. Moro
than this, tho Cubans control all tho
produce of the island. Thou*and* in
Havana ar" suffering for enough to eat,
as they are in all tho seaports, bat they
aro heart and soul with tho Cubans and
aro willing to suffer.
"Spanish cruelty ha? noS been half
described. Execution of prisoners is a
daily occurrence. Spain kills all pris-
oners in Cuba."

St. Lor is, April 1.—"Tho situa-
tion in a nutshell is this: No candidate
will enter tho uational Republican con-
vention with votes enough by about 100
or ir 0 to nomiuato him for president of
the United States on tho first, second,
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,
eighth, ninth or tenth ballot. Tho non i-
nee, thereof, will be a second choice mau.
MeKmley loads today iu tho matter of
instructions and will hold this load.
Alli.-on is tho strongest socond choice
and will gain in strength right along.
I therefore prediot \llison's nomina-
tion."
Tho speaker was Hon. James S.
Clar cson of Iowa, a member of tho
national Republican committee, who
is hero with other members looking af-
ter convention matters. Referriug
again to McKinloy, Mr. Clarkson said:
"His oatnpaigu has bean so couducted
as to uliouate all the second choice
states and for that reason ho is today
the weakest man in the race, conceding
that ho cannot bo nominated on tho
first bailor. I don't know a single
delegate that will go to him when its
candidate is dropped. On the other
hand, Sonator Allison is tho second
eli".. <■ of nearly e very state or district
that has dec tod its delegates. Mr.
lie d will have as much strength in the
south as McKinley."
"I 1 :• e just roturued from a trip
thiouisdi tli! west," continued Mr.
Cla-k-on. "In all the region west of
Nebr.-is . « tho sentiment is yet uniform
as to men. Tho people of tho Pacific
eons* aud mountain states aro discuss-
ing a gr-at :• n • -that of money and
not ne n. T .' y will send to St. Louis
in June, 80 i r 100 delegates instructed
solidly .'or sliver without reference to
the views of any man on this great
question. Chat a vote so masted will
havo to bo reckon" I with and that seri-
ously, nobody with pretentions to po-
litical foresight can doubt.
"It may In that Idaho, Montana, Ne-
vada and Ut:ih will send delegations to
tho convention instructed for some pro-
nounced free silver advocate, such as
Teller or Cameron. In fact I have been
assured that that is what theso states
will do."
The sonator was moro reticent when
his attention wascallod to the latest es-
timate of McKinley's stren^ru made in
Washington by Genoral Grosveuor and
published in a morning paper in which
the Ohioan was given 855 votes on tho
first ballot out of tho total of 1172 dele-
gates elected up to Saturday night.
II1! studied tho figures closely for a long
whiio and then said:
"This shows that they aro still claim-
ing. They can claim all they waut.
What we want aud what we aro going
to havo aro votes."
Senator Thomas Carter, chairman of
the It publican national committe, was
asked: ' Is it truo that you havo dis-
cerned the premonitory rumbling of a
boom for Don Cameron in the north-
west?"
"It's more than a premonitory rum-
ble," Senator Carter answered. "It is a
roaring. I believe that we will get tho
votes, not only of Montana and other
northwest- r ti states, but that tho votes
of tho west generally will come to him
naturally."
"Then yon apprehend some troubfcj
over the silver question in tho Sr. Louis
convention?"
"Now that is an entirely different
matter and one about which I will say
nothing."
Colonel William Ilahu of Ohio pro-
fessed to bo uuablo to see how tho oppo-
sition is to head off McKinley.

Capk Town, April 1. Additional
advices . rom Bulawayo show that the
' vi ; r olucing that town in a state of
- foiee has beon completed so far as
tho means at hand will permit, but
there is a gr at lack of arms aud am-
munition with which to supply the
many settlers who have gathero I thore
from the outlying districts sinoo tho
upri ing commenced. Until arms and
ammunition arrive from England the
British will bo almost helpless and a
combined uprising upon tho part of the
Boers aud natives who could bo bribed
into hostility might bo very disastrous.
Tho lii , rs havo weapons with which to
ai m a powerful auxiliary for. e and they
are av : oof the predicament in which
tho llritis.i find themselves.
Offensive operations against tho Mat-
abclos aro almost at a standstill aud
communication south of Buluwayo is
prar<; ; oat off. Parties of settlers
wdio loft their clearings at tho first
signs of alarm, are still unrelieved and
there seems to be no immediate pros-
1 • of nssistauco being sent them. The
agent of tho Chartered company has
1 eon authorized to raiso au additional
force of 6000 men, but though men are
available, arms, ammunition and homos
are wanting.
Tho whole country outside cf a radius
of abour 12 miles around Buluwayo, is
iu a state of open insurrection, and Mat-
abeles and other natives are llocking to
Matopo hills, whore tho sou of tho late
King Lobengula is said to havo boeu
raised to his father's rank with much
coromony, preparatory to taking com-
mand of tho army. Insurgent natives
are 1! king to tho hills from all parts.
To vicinity of Buluwayo is kept
clc :tr i f rebels by white scouts, but it is
> liev- d tiie natives aro being kept fully
informed of all that is going ou, and
nobody now doubts that tho root of tho
tr« . at Pretoria, and that Berlin
is k- | ! well informed regarding the
progress of tho uprising.
Advices from The Transvaal show
the work of preparing for war is being
continued there night and day. Gangs
of men relieve each other at intorvals
in the! w r . upon urmored forts do-
sigm ! to protect Pretoria, plates for
I o been furnished by the
rks and guns by the great
f Germany. Drilling of
n under German ofli rs goes
very day. Tho foreign lo-
vised almost of Germans,
y entered The Transvaal to
orgat This force will bo mostly in-
fantr\ tnd artillery, tho Boers being re-
lied n; i to furnish all cavalry ueces-
; ty. The general opinion expressed
h . tliat. too company's offiemls and
British home government greatly under
estiinat tho serious state of affairs
which prevails here.
