Cruelties of bygone Ages Prac

FORTRESS, LIVING GRAVE
Andres Duarte Level, Former Revolu
tionary Officer Describes the Con-
dltlons Captives are Rlvited In 1
Heavy Shackles Two by Two. for !
Life. Beaten and Starved.
From a Venezuelan nrlson. where
had seen scores of his fellows per- j
, Andres Duarte Level, once col
1 in the revolutionary forces of his
ntry, has pained his freedom and
come North to breathe the fr-J
of the I'tilted States, of which he
! soon become a citizen, says the
. w York Herald, and to tell a tale
( .' scarcely credible cruelties prac
ticed with the perml alon and often
with the active participation of Presl
den Castro upon his helpless enemies.
It was due in no small part to his
youth he Is only twenty-seven that
Level was able to escape from the op
pression of the Dictator. His father,
who had been Vice President under
Guzman t31anco, and who afterward
held other ofllces of Importance, left
behind him he Is now In exile
friends who were more fortunate than
he In preserving their balance on the
see-saw of glides In the Siuth
American republic. These friend
put forth their efforts to obtain the
release of the son from the fortreas
of San Carlos, where he had been
confined in irons since the suppres
sion of tho recent rebellion, In which
he had seen active service.
Death was not feared by the prison
ers of San Carlos; It was the great
est boon they asked for. Shackled
one-to another with irons that often
welched fifty pounds, beaten, starved,
denied an ccupatlon, they saw their
fellows drop one by one, and they
counted them lucky, for, with escipe
out of the question and rescue Impos
sible, It meant death or worse in
sanity. Fifteen hundred men, the greater
part of them political prisoners, were
crowded into a space that would have
been taxed by one-third of that num
ber. The cells were in the casements
of the fort, and those facing the sea
were swept by waves, there being
several inches of water In them at
high tide.
On account of the peculiar manner
In which they were Ironed and the
lack of room, these unfortunates were
compelled to assume half sitting, half
'ving postures, the while the heat,
irful during the day, became abso
..ly unbearable at night, with no
;'?r to quench their raging thirst.
Into this living death Level was
.mged not quite two years ago.
.'hen he emerged he was a changed
..Jan.
The son of a wealthy and promi
nent family, Level, who is of pure
Venezuelan blood, derived his name
from a French forebear, was educated
abroad and In this country, being a
graduate of St. Francis' College, in
Brooklyn. He remained in New York
until 1S93, when he returned to his
native laud and was commissioned a
lieutenant.
It was at this time thnt Clpriano
Castro began the revolution that
eventually resulted in tho overthrow
of the administration and the triumph
of his cause.
After he had seen service In the An
des Young Level returned to this
country upon the victory of Castro,
but was unable to join the revolution
Incited by General Nicholas Rolando
In 1900. This was partially siiDnress-
ed, but at the beginning of the follow
ing year It broke out afresh, the cause
having been financed by General M.
A. Matos, a millionaire banker, whose
Interests lay in Paris as well as In
bis own country
Level returned to Venezuela, and
after some difficulty joined the revolu
tionists, being made a captain In the
artillery arm of the service, was cap
tured and brought to Bolivar In chains
a fortnight later. With his compan
ion he was sentenced to be shot, but
the sentence was finally changed to
Imprisonment. Refusing to reveal tho
hiding place of the Insurgents' am
munlon, he and Farreras were strung
up by the arms and weights tied to
their feet, almost pulling the legs
from the sockets. They were relieved
from further torture through the ac
cidental discovery of the contraband
war by soldiers of tho government.
For eight months Level dragged
out his existence with his fellow suf
ferers. Their clothing had been tak
en away from them and they were
left only with their underclothes.
Boon these fell apart and the rags
were pieced together.
When for some real or fancied of
fence a prisoner was ordered to De
whipped, a corporal's guard, of ten
men were detailed and each of these
gave a certain number of lashes to
the victim. When the blows were
not sufficiently severe in the opinion
of the" corporal ho would lash the
soldier twice and then add three to
the number the prisoner was to re
ceive. When Level was finally released It
was upon the understanding that he
was to leave the country at once and
to say nothing and write nothing
against the government. He received
his passport on May 28 and embarked
Jurit in time to escape an officer who
boro a warrant for his rearrest. Cas
tro repenting his decision to give him
his freedom. Level reached this coun
try last (Juue and formally declared
his Intention of becoming an Ameri
can citizen. He has already obtained
hla first papers.

THE OTHER SIDE OF JIU JITOU.
A Baltimore Teacher Says tho System
Can't Hurt a Boxer.
Baltimore. Md. Prof. Charles WI1
llard. one of the ablest physical In
structors in Baltimore, argues that
any man able to box skilfully caa
successfully stand off any exponent of
Jiu-jitsu. Prof. Wllllard In tho New
York Sun says:
"Now that the Government has Is
sued orders to have the naval cadets
at Annapolis Instructed In jiu-jitsu, 1
feel that It will be Interesting to tho
public to learn something of Its
worth. If It Is worth anything. 1 up
hold the merits of the American sys
tem of self-defence.
"I have studied the American,
French and Japanese methods of de
fence and I stand ready to prove that
a man having Borne knowledge of the
American art can easily defend him
self against an opponent using the
jiu-jitsu method. I will not ask for a
weight limit, for 1 won't object to him
If he weighs 200 pounds, though I am
much lighter. I have the science and
strength of arm, shoulder and chest
to make up for the loss of weight.
"Jlti-Jttsu Is a brutal system, for It
aims to break arms, dislocate joints
and disfigure one In the worst man
ner. If the Jiu-jitsu opponent secure
a hold he will break the bones In any
part of the body on which he may se
cure a hold. If ha gets a hold on the
throat, he will choke the wind out of
you or dislocate the larynx, whlci
will paralyzo the vocal cords, and
the victim will be speechless for
weeks. If he can get a hold on the
face tho fingers are stuck Into the
t-yes, and the eyes are pushed from
the sockets.
"Now this may seem very good to
one who might be held up In a dark
street by a murderous highwayman.
To cripple him would do no harm.
But the the very idea of teaching
young men who must be in perfect
physical condition, and In the ser
vice of the Government, an act of de
fence which will disable a comrade
for life if it is used In the way It
should be! Young mtn naturally lose
their tempers In such a contest, and
In an instant, without the slightest
thought of doing Injury, one may
break an opponent's arm.
"It Is different in the American
system of attack and defence, for this
teaches one to be quick, graceful,
strong, honorable, brave and merci
ful. The object the American has in
his defence Is to punish his assailant
as rapidly as possible and yet do him
as little Injury as possible.
"It Is a surprise to me that more
women do not learn the art of self
defence. A blow from a woman's deli
cate hand will hurt a man more than
a blow from the strong hand of a
man. It Is the nervous shock that
does the harm, not tho sting.
"I am not opposed to Americans be
ing progressive, and I am not Jealous
of any method of defence, but I can
not see that America can accomplish
anything by studying Japanese Jiu
jitsu." Or. Manuel Quintans,
Who has been elected President
cf Argentina.
Governor La Follette's College Days.
During his university days young
La Follette's oratorical powers began
to make themselves felt. Born with a
gift for public speaking, he speedily
developed Into an eloquent and con
vincing talker, and was a conspicuous
figure in the literary and debating so
cieties. The interstate oratorical
contest between Ohio, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois
was one of the notable competitor.
The subject of his oration was "Iago,"
and even as Iago's dupe, Othello,
smoothered luckless Desdemona, so
Iago's young analyst and interpreter
smothered his forensic rivals, first in
the University of Wisconsin contest,
second in the broader forum of the
assembled colleges of the Badger
Stato, each of which had sent its best
speaker, and third In the Interstate
competition itself when the six cham
pion orators of as many States were
pitted against each other on the same
platform.
Young La Follette staked every
tiung on the merits of "Iago," used
the same oration in all three contests,
and carried off the interstate cham
pionship with ease. The winning ora
tion, treasured still in scores of Wis
consin scrap-books, although a quar
ter of a century has passed, was print
ed In many Westorn newspapers, was
recited by ambitious schoolboys for
years, and was even said to have giv
en the great Edwin Booth a new con
ception of the character of Iago.

What ex-United States Senatoi
George F. Edmonds Says.
"AMEND CONSTITUTION'
Author of Mormon Act of 1882 Calls
on the Nation to Wipe Out the
Dreadful Evil It Is Spreading In
the West Rapidly, So He De
clares. The following are extracts from
the opinion and recommendations of
ex-United States Senator George F.
Edmunds, on the Mormon question In
the Christian Herald. Mr. Edmunds Is
the author of the Anti-Polygamy Act
of 1SS2. The evidence obtained by
the Senate Committee In the case of
Senator Smoot, disclosed that some
at least, of the chief rulers of the
Mormon Church have deliberately
and continually carried on the prac
tice of polygamy without prosecution
or annoyance. In the face of their
pledges made to two Presidents of
the United States, and have set an
example naturally and almost neces
sarl!y to be followed by their Church
members and adherents, without any
danger of interference by the legisla
tive or any oth r department of the
government of the State of Utah.
They know that Congress has no pow
er, and that tho State has no disposi
tion to Interfere.
The committee investigation has
also developed evidence showing that
the hierarchy continues to control the
government of the State, and that the
choice of offloers, and their official ac
tions, In some degree at least, are sub
ject to its control. It can quite cor
rectly say with the French king, "I
am the State." All this is consist
ent with more than half a century of
its history, and should surprise no
body. The practice of Mormon polygamy
and the political influence of the hier
archy have been gradually and stead
ily expanded into the Territories
of New Mexico, Arizona, and Okla
homa, and into the State of Idaho,
Wyoming. California and Oregon.
This is a condition- of things that ,
should receive the most serious con- 1
slderatlon of the great body of the ,
citizens of our country, to whom both '
the institution of polygamy and the
Interference or the attempted Inter
ference of religious or professed re
ligious organizations with the politi
cal autonomy of any republcan coun
try Is abhorrent.
What then can be done toward de
stroying the evil? Tho National Con
stitution can be so amended as.
First, to prohibit polygamous mar
riages and provide for their punish
ment, and.
Second, to require all persons tak
ing office under the Constitution or
laws of the United States or of any
State to take and subscribe an oath
that he or she Is not and will not be
a member of any organization what
ever, the laws, rules or nature of
which require him or her to disregard j
his or her duty to support tho Con
stitution and laws of the United
States and of the several States.
These two provisions would, it Is
believed, have the effect, substantial
ly, to eradicate the practice of poly
gamy in all the States and Terri
tories alike, and would, likewise, pre
vent office holding, either under Na
tional or State jurisdiction, by per
sons ,who felt that they had any
obligations of a civil or political
character paramount to their obliga
tions to the whole country or to their
States.
The first suggested amendment
would in no wise Interfere with
State sovereignty, unless the State
should desire either to establish or
tolerate polygamous practices, for
each State could prohibit and punish
the same acts against Us sovereignty
If It should (as it ought) choose to
do.
The second suggested amendment
does not in the least Interfere with
the sovereignty of any State, but
rather supports it; and It would be
Inconvenient and troublesome only to
persons really unfaithful to their
whole country or to their State, or (as
it might be), to any State or com
munity which was willing that its
chosen officers should be under oblig
ations paramount to those they owe
to their country, State or community.
Woman Works as Blacksmith.
The town of Prescot, Ariz., claims
to have the only woman blacksmith
In the country She Is Mrs. Mollle
Thompson White, wife of H. B.
White, a prosperous blacksmith. She
Is a good looking woman of less 'than
middle age and seems to enjoy her
work. The pair have no children and
when White ran a shop at Independ
ence, Col., Mrs. White used to take
her sewing and sit in the shop rather
than be alone. Gradually she learned
to do things connected with the work
and is now an expert. Although she
can shape a hoof and set a shoe as
well as her husband she does little
of this work, as he fears she might
get hurt. She does all the wagon
painting that comes in and swings a
sledge as well as her husband. She
also delights to hunt, and boasts that
she is a better shot thin her husband.
He admits It with pride in her abil
ity, but boasts in turn that he is her
superior In the gentle art of cooking
'a beefsteak.
India's Many Political Divisions.
In traveling the 1,900 miles from

political divisions as there are great
divisions of Europe, and differing as
widely in climate and customs.
SAILORS ARE NOW OFFICERS.
Plenty of Room at the Top for Jackles
In the Navy.
That there is plenty of room at the
top for the enlisted man in the Unit
ed States navy was clearly demon
strated by the recent appointment of
nine machinists and gunners to be
ensigns. Whatever the flow of naval
promotion and faithful or distinguish
ed service may bring them before
they reach the retiring age of sixty
two years, these ensigns are now on
an equal basis with graduates of the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis. These ensigns, who began their
naval service by application to the
recruiting officer ate: Walter E.
Whitehead, Frank Rorschbach, Chas.
Webb Densmore, Francis Dominic
Burns, Clarence Sylvester Vander
beck, Joseph Daniels, Owen Hill, Dav
id Lyons and George Charrette. War
rant Machinist E. II. Campbell suc
cessfully passed his professional ex
amination, but was found physically
deficient. He may be appointed later.
These officers will bo known as
"mustangs" as long as they remain In
the service. That is the convenient
designation of an officer who Is not
a graduate of the Naval Academy. It
carries no suggestion of reproach,
however. Some of the finest officers
in the service during recent years
first entered the navy from civil life
during the civil war. One of the fin
eat examples was' Rear Admiral
O'Nell, recently retired, who was
Chief of the Bureau of Naval Ord
nance. In the navy to-day the place of the
warrant officer Is a highly Important
one. He constantly performs duty
above his station. ' There are too few
officers in the navy to man properly
all the ships In commission. Watch
and division duty accordingly falls
upon warrant officers, and as a rule
they discharge these duties In a most
capable fashion.
Nothing could afford more convinc
ing testimony of the worth of these
warrant officers than tho letters of
recommendation from officers under
whom they have served and the "re
ports on fitness" In which these offi
cers give detailed answers to certain
questions about the candidates. Of
these questions the following, "Would
you have any objection to this officer
serving under you In peace or war?"
is Invariably answered with "no."
Sometimes the commanding officer
goes further, as did Captain "Tom"
Perry, who wrote on one candidate's
'report, "On the contrary, I would be
glad to have him."

Commander of Russia's third army
now at tho front.
