THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, . OCTOBER 7, 18G9. THE ATKOCITIES OF LOPEZ. We qnote tho following from a notion in the Ixindon Alhemtuip of b "Narrutivo of Tersonal Experiences Among the lira miajftiiH," by Oeorge Frederick Masternian,' which hns just been published in London: It appears from the statements Rcattorcd over IHfTMaHterniai's volume, that Lopez niaHRncrod l.MK) to 20(H) prisoners of war in one day; that he shot hi younger brother after having him cut almost to pieces; that be had tho husband of one of his sisters phot in her jucsenro, after the husband of his other sister had diod under torture; and that when his two sisters, whom ho forced to be present at the execution, gavo vent to their feelings, he had them flogged in a manner outraging decency and hum inity. A thou sand, and even two thousand, lashes are said to havo been given to some of tho pri soners. Others were taken to tho front of the army, and then in formed with regret that nomo movement of tho enemy mail a it nocosmry to shoot them. One prisoner was crucified horizon tally under Mr. Mastcrman's window. On tho march an old man happened to fall; ho w.is at once stripped and thrushed by two corporals till he staggered to his feet, and hurriod for ward as fast as his fetters would permit; then when ho stumbled again, an ollhjer, after striking him several times with his sword, stamped on his head till his whito hair was dabbled in blood. Tho torturo to which mo-it of tho prisoners, from Lopez's own brother find his former ministers d nvn to tho 1mm-lik-nt rank, wore subjected, rem in. Is us of passages in Sir. Ainsworth's 'Tower of Lr. d)ii, ' AVo quote tho description given by a friend of Sir. SIftstermaii's: "The torture is as follows, and this is how I differed it: I f:it on the ground with my knees up, niy legs were first tied tightly together, and then liiy hands beliluil inc. with the palms out wards. A musket was then fastened under my knees: fix more of them, lied together in a bun dle, wore then put on my shoulders, and then they were looped together with hide ro;cs at one end: they then made a running loop on Hie other fide, from the lower musket to the ot.ier; and two soldiers hauling on the end of it, forced my face down to my knees, and secured it so. The effect was as follows: First, the feet went to sleep, then a tingling commenced in the toes, gradually extending to the knees, and tho same in the hands avid arms, and increased until tho agony was unbearable. Sly tongue swelled up, and I thought that my jaws would have been displaced; 1 lo.-t all feeling in one siilo of my face lor a fortnight afterwards. The suiteriu was dreadful; I should certainly have confessed if I had had anything to confess, and 1 have m doubt many would acknowledge or invent any thing to escape bearing the horrible agony of this torment. I remained two hours as I liave described, and I com-idered myself fortanate in escaping then; fur many were" put in the urn giianana twice, and others six times, and with eight muskets on the nape of the neck." Sir. SlasUTmau himself was tortured thus till he fainted, and to avoid a repetition of such sufferings, ho mada what professed to be a full confession. As ho knew nothing against the persons wh im ho was required to implicate,' of courso ho had to invent, and any failures of invention were stimulated by the renppearanco of the bundle of ropes and muskets. It may bo a question for moralists whether Sir. Masterman was right in thus giving way, or was bound to rosist to tho ut most. Wo do not feel called upon to express an opinion further than this, namely, that much as we admire the early martyrs, wo can not think that Sir. Masterman was placed in a position at all auilogous. It was merely for the satisfaction of Lopez that ho was called upon to invent. The people whom ho was required to implicate wore either dotl or safely out of the country. Perhaps it was not necessary for him to boast that ho did lio more than was 'actually indispensable, whilo others lied freely. Thereweconio toaqnostion of degree, which is still more likely to involve us in casuistry. It seems, indeed, that one of Mr. Slasterman's fellow-prisoners gave in on the mere threat of torture, invented recklessly, involved everybody else in his confessions, and boasted about it afterwards. "I floated with tho current," says Sir. Slasterm in; "sometimes battling and struggling with my whole strength against it; but lie swam vigorously. Except in saying that I believed in the existence of a plot, that Sir. Washburn was the chief of it, and that I had boon in vited to join it, the whole of my evidence was perfectly true, lie, on tho other hand, in vented exactly in proportion to tho pressure put upon him; and, more than this, with a hardihood scarcely credible, he informed mo that ho had supplied every missing link in tho evidence, not only against Sir. Washburn, but all the accused, excepting myself, then in existence, and, worse than all, was proud of it." We presume he was only proud of it because it saved him from tho muskets, and he thought it was best to act on tho motto pecea fort iter. "Was there any truth in your depositions?" askod Sir. Masterman of another fellow-prisoner. "No, no lies, all lies, from beginning to end," was the answer. "Why did you tell them?" askod Sir. Masterman, as he himself says, rather un necessarily. "That terrible Father Slaiz," was tho reply, "tortured me in the uruyntt una on throe successive days, and then smashed my fingers with a mallet." As Sir. Masterman was only tortured onco, and his fingers were not smashed, this prisonor might have blamed him in turn for yielding too readily. But instead of that, ho told him ho had done well to confess. It was in tho sauia Hpirit that the relations of all who deserted from the Paraguayan army woro forced to publish letters, cursing and disowning thorn. A wife who thus disclaimed her husband was asked by Sir. Masterman how sho could havo written such a letter. "To save my children," fche replied. "It is nil false; you know I love my husband dearly, but, souor, what would you?" The picture of Sir. Masterman gives us of his life in prison is far more cheerful than these scenes of horror. JIo wus confined, indeed, in a dark and damp cell, uud ho could get no sleep at nights, because the sentries bad to cry out at tho top of their voices every quarter of an hour, to show that they were not asleep. The caution was not . unneces sary, as some of tho sentries were mere boys, not more than ten or twelve years old. "On co, "says Mr. Slastoruian, "I saw a chubby, flaxen-haired boy holding his musket liko a pole before him, the tears running down his cheeks, trying to weep silently, but a big sob shook him at intervals. I asked him in a whisper what was the matter. 'I want to go home to my mother,' ho whimpered most iinheroii'ally, 'and I am afraid of the dark.' l'oor little fellow ! I thought; you are even more miserable than I." Sir. Slasterman watched fights between spiders and scorpions with great interest, killed cockroaches that were escaping from scorpions, and then killed the scorpions that were in pursuit, ad mired the industry and resources of spiders, and learned to catch und stroke them till they almost purred with pleasure. It is not in his prison only thut Sir. Masterman is an acute observer. IliH incidental sketches of Para- tho river nnd of the Cordillera, of long rides chmng the day and dances last ing all night, relieve the sombre lints of cruelty and op pression. We S'.;e the Paraguayan grisettes seated on their door steps passing alternately a comb and a candle through their hair, and we know that the candle, which is m id of fresh suet, has been rescued from some cook who would have und it for frying a cutlot. Here is Mr. Slasterman's sketch of the scenery f tho river: "If, when the Paraguay In ascended, it should e at flood, the view is but of endless swamps, covered with caimlole and other aquatic plants, or half-drowned tree-showing their tops above the water, and only upheld by tho twisted cables of lianas which bind ihcm firmly to each other, or else flouting in natural rails, corded and moored by their tangled ftnniK The tepid water between them is almost hidden by while and blue lilies, or the broad leaves and snoivy flowers of their ipiecn, the Victoria Kegia. Flocks of small aquaiie birds arc seen, it la true, fishing amidst the network of creepers anil branches, but they t'ivo no animation to the scene, and utter no sound save a low, warning cry of nlnrni, if we approach them too nearly. It is only at sunset, wheu tho parrots are livid; back after a raid on the orange trees, that' tho death-like silence is . broken. Their harsh screams, softened by distance, as they wing their way far overhead, then sound almost musi cal, and light and li!e seem to fade oi:t together, as tho red disc disappears and the la-t straggler passes." Sir. STnKterman t lis somo Rfrvngo stories of tho ignorance of tho Paraguayan priests, and cf the religious '-ondition of tho people. Home dolls he took out from England as play things for cbildien .cre at onco appropriated by the elders, und made into fashionable saints; whilfl Urn contents of a Noah's ark were arranged on ,n altar to represent tho procession of the Magi, Whom, Hani, and .Irphct in their cyln.lricnl wooden coats doing duty for the three kings themselves. Ono of tho children of Lopez's mistress was playing with his ink in the presence of his mother and her guests, when he began to cry, and being asked what was tho matter, said he could not find Japhel. Sure enough, ono of the three sons was missing, and tho child was scolded. But the Bishop of Paraguay, who was present, nrrest d tho flood of maternal wrath, sajing in his blandest tones, and with an air of paternal correction, "Pardon mi, Senorn, there could wot have been three, for you know that Noah had only two sons, Cain and Abel." The same ecclesiastic, together with Lopez himsel'', was drawn out by Sir. Sla-terniaii on the exhibition of a magio lar.fern: "Many of the slide- represented battle scenes from U'.e recent I'r.iuco-ltatian campaign, but we took the liberty of rechiistening some of them thus: 'Battle i I' Copenhagen, between the Persians and the Ptii'li.' 'Ah 1 that was a terri ble ailair.' said bow, patronizingly, to tho Hit-hop. ' The held '!' Trafalgar after the batHc. Mamelukes reiuovii.g tin; wounded.' 'What Christian humanity, -ire!' softly observed the Pdshop. And so we ac it on. 'Capture of the .Iiuigfrau in the final charge at Magenta,' cried Thompson, with an unsteady voice, and kicking my slims under the table, and 'Death of Gene ral Orders at the moment of victory,' was the title of the next, which sounded very imposing in Spanish, and elo-ed the series. Then cauiu the comic slides, when the Bishop was very nearly the death of us. There was light enough reflected from the screen to fee him distinctly and his contortions, as he tried with handker chief stuffed in his mouth to btitie his laughter, were excruciatingly diverting, lie dared not laugh out, yet his delight at the ligures, espe cially at one, where the nose of a dwarf gra dually reached portentous dimensions, was utterly beyond his control." There must havo been a rather dangerous delight in thus decadving the brutal Dictator whose"word sent thousands to prison and to the rack, and in coupling with him ono of his tools, who had risen by acting tho spy and tho informer. It is possible that this joke was remembered against Sir. Slasterman when ho was arrested for a trivial cause, and wheu ho wos forced to invent confessions under torture. But it would bo idle to speculate on tho mo tives which influenced Lopez. Wo wish Sir. Slasterman had some more vivid uatisfuution than the thought that ho had played a trick on a tiger and a jackal. AWFUL EMTIIMTIOX. The' Ntimnliiir Mimcum of Torture Hor rible Ut-lifM ol .(lie Last Cenl ury Extraor dinary txiiose. A correspondent writes as follows from Nuremburg to tho New York Journal of Commerce: There is hero a collection of memorials of the "good old days," which I believe cannot be matched elsew here in its way. Thoro is no other "iron maiden" that I havo heard of except perhaps one in a private musoum in an out-of-the-way pi ice ' South of Vienna. I could not find any at Batisbon nor at Prague, which cities are supposed to have been blessed with ono each. Certainly such a variety of torturo tools does not exist else where, unless it is hidden somowhoro in Spain. At any rate these are worthy of a special notice, li.der tho llathaus are a number of dungeons, ono of them a torturo chamber, which havo not been used sinco tho early part of this century, and are now pretty much filled with mud and rubbish. Tho smaller inslrumi nts of torturo arc collected in a room of' tho castle, where . they aro hung on the walls, and stand on tho lloor-. It is a formidable collet: ion in number and char acter too many, even, to mention particu larly. There arc all sorts of screws for squeezing fingers. Kaibs, or tho body; whips of knotted cord, of wire, and of cord, to which aro fastened square bits of iron holding sharp points a quarter of an inch in length; frames of wood and iron to confine tho body in un comfortable posturt s; artistic gouges for tak ing out eyes; a claw-shaped thing for tearing women's breasts; inms for burning tho llesli; knives for cuftiiif; masks for compressing the faco and head; uu ingenious instrument called tho ".Spanish pear," which, being put into tho mouth, v.as opened in four'quartors with a spring, and lieM the mouth distended; a machine for smashing thumbs; an execu tioner's sword, sf i light, double-edgod and heavy, which has cut off more than three hun dred heads, and, to finish the exhibition, my conductress opened a box looking liko a violin case and produced a human skull t hrough which was slill thrust the 'ron spike by which it had been fastened to iho city gate. This musoum of artistic Devil's tojls is made up of articles which I was assured were used up to tho pre sent century, in ll:-- council house of tho free, Protestant city of N iremberg and thoso were only the minor av! i' les for light penalties in their code. Following tho wall of the city towards tho west f r a quarter of a milo I came to a grated d- r let into tlm wall. Now let us see what sort of revel tho worthy burghers held in t'u. so secret chambers before the nineteenth cent iry. Wo find down hero a double pillory ( for L wo persons at onco), which formerly stood iu the court of tho llathaus. and somo other thii gs which were used pub licly. There is a "Spanish ass," a thick, up right plank, the upper enu being a smooth, sharp edge, on winch the victim was set astride, and heavy . r i - ' i i weights fastened to thickly studded with blunt spikes. A stout strap confined tlie body, and others fastened tho arms along tho sides of Ihe machine; weights wore suspended from the legs siid laid in tho lap, and a roilw with three shaip fdges was rubbed up, and down tho arms. Sundry other things are ingeni ously contrived to confine tho heal and shouldern and to weigh down tho muscles. Further on, in another room, is a cradle thickly studded on the inside with blunt spikes. In this tho victim was fastened naked and rocked; it w as especially for women, and my guide remembered the lust person ho punished. Then wo como to tho rack, a board on which tho body was strapped; and cords cciiiK'cliiig w ith n windlass at ono end, by which tho limbs were stretched; and the "ladder," tho rounds made of sharp-edged rollers, with ropes through pulleys in tho roof of the upper e nd, so that tho body could be pulled up and down over tho rollers, weights being added to increase tho pressure. Thou our guide led us off through a passago at ritht angles to theso dungeons; then ti.rning sharply to Ihe left und again to tho right, introduced us to the execution room. It is a small room, hewed in tho solid rock, with no outlet but the zigng passage by which wo reached it, and which was closed by six heavy doors. We should bo in total darkness but for our guide's candle, and those sho has left at each turning as wo came in. Hope could not fol low a victim here. Tho executioner's chair and sword standing in a corner of this room were last used in 1K'!. Near tho opposite corner stands tho "F.isener Jnngfrau," tho iron maiden. Outwardly it is tlio figure of a woman darkly clothed in tho oTd costume, with many mil's or collars. Tho figure is hol low mid lined wilh sheet-iron. Two doors opening in front tho whole length of tho woman reveal all tho mystery, but our guido likes to tell her story. This is tho gem of her recollection: "They stood f ho man up in therewith his hands tied behind him: you Ke here, in these doors, the spikes" (thick, sharp iions four inches long); "there aro twenty-three of them one for each eye, and they it'll come above hero" (touching her belt), "and see here wbwu tho back of tho head came, tdl the iron is broken off, and there is hair there now." Sho closed tho doors slowly that wo might see tho points where the spikes would' stick, and stepping back, lifted a long jack-screw, one end of which wos secured to the wall and the other made to fit tho curve of tho figure. "See here, how they made the doors shut. This little handle pushes out tho screw further and further, and the doors' must come together." Then she swung tho doors open again, and, stooping, drew an iron bolt, and tho floor opened under the "Jungfrau." "Look hero" (tLrustiug her caiulle down tho abyss), "you see water down there it is eighteen feet below, and now it is all mud; but there was a canal there, and under here was a machine with, kbives that cut tho man into little bits and they dropped into the canal that was all." Quietly tho woman closes tho trap, placing her candle on tho lloor, adjusts tho doors of tho "Jungfrau," and darts off to tho dark corner where tho executioner's tools stand, lcturniug with something in her hand, and, picking upon tho candle, says: "So here, this fckull was picked up in tho mud down there in the eaurd yon seo where the two spikes went into tho eyes." It is a brown-stained human skull, tho bono about each eye-hole roughly broken. In this room there is a well-worn box made of wood, with four holes on the same line, about half a foot above the bottom. The culprit lay in tho box, his feet and hands thrust through tho holes. The distance betweea tho tw o holes furthest apart is three feet. Tho woman called this Ijox something "Spanish," and said sho sup posed that tho things so called came from (i. c., wero first used by) the Inquisition. Siy guide regretted that her collection was not so complete as sho could wish many things had been carried away for safety when tho French took the city, and some had not been restored and sho referred mo to an ancient book lying on the rack, which appeared to bo an illustrated catalogue of torture tools. Tho cuts represented the mode of securing the victims and operating tho implements, whilo the text contained serviceable explanations and advice. One of the illustrations represented tho figure of an ox being roasted whole; a pretty device. The f oi m of the ox was to bo made of iron, not too thick, and the head of n man pro truding through a hole in the animal's back, tho expression of the countenanco indicating clearly enorgh where the body was, explained the whole thing. All theso instruments aro in first-rate order, and tho larger ones are in tho positions and condition 'in which they were last used. In theso days, when tho cate chisms and primers of history aro boing torn to pieces, and we are taught even that Colum bus did not invent the egg trick, it is, per haps, as well not to sco such things, for having seen them, no amount of historical reconstruction can make us beliovo they wore not used.
