THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- TUESDAY. APRIL 12. 1898. - 3 V OFFICIAL EVIDENCE OF SPAIJTS INFAMY 'Concluded from l'ngo l.J poses, selling for SO cents nplcce. It Is a fnlr Inference to draw from existing conditions that It Is not possible for tho governor general to relievo I he present situation with tho inenns at his disposal. AUTONOMY A FAIM'Itl2. Dec. 13 came tho following. Tho contest for and against auton omy inmost unequal. For, there uro llXfcor six of tho head otllccrs at the palace, and twmty or thirty other persons here In the city. Against It. Ilrst. are tho Insurgents with or with out arms, and the I'uliun non-comb:tt-ants. Second, the gnnt mass of the Spaniards bearing or non-bearing arms, the latter desiring If there must bo n change, annexation to tho United States. Indeed, there Is tho greatest apathy concerning autonomy In any form. I do not see how It could bo even put Into operation by force, be cause us lorg as the Insurgents de cline to ocrtpt It so long, tho Span ish authoritlns say, the war must con tinue. December 14th, (lenernl Leo sends another communication saying that the total number of reconccntrndos In Hnb uiip province will reach 150,000 nnd that tho death rate from starvation alone would be over CO per cent. For the relief of these people he says J12.G0O In silver has been set aside, so that If every dollar appropriated reaches thorn the distribution will average about 1" cnts to a Derson. MORE SPANISH PLOTS. December iS, General Leo makes tho first enmmunlcatlon about the new pchemo nf autonomy. He says thnt he has been informed that the authorities (ife encased in formltiR an iititonomls tie cabinet, arranging for the members to take the required oath on Jnnuary 1. fti.d niso for an election thirty days thereafter. Hondlh. My present Information Is that mist of the Spaniards will refral'i from voting and nearly all the Cubans. Tho feeling In" Havana and I hear In other parts of the Island, s strong against It, (he Cubans desiring an in dependent republic and tho Kpinlards preferring annexation to tho Tolled States rather than autonomy. On the night of Mth Inst, thero seems to have been a concerted plan o 'er the Maud to testify to the disapprobation of the people to the proposed autonomists plan of tlic Spanish government. Ho goes on to describe how It culmp.nte-l about 2 o'clnek on the mnrnlni; of the 2.1th when a mob assembled in the principal square with cries of "Dtatli to autonomy," and "Viva W'eyler." lie bays the men in the mob had stones in their pockets nnd some of them were armed with weapons. "They made n demonstration, too, against the oipco of Dlr.rin do La Mnrlna, a paper published In this town favoring ;tu trnomy; but were ilspersod by thf niilltaiy police and soldiers." 1 HE'S THKSE SUMMARY. Jim. V General Lee makes the follow ing repot t: I have the honor to state as a mat ter of public interest that the rceon ceptrado order of General WVjier. for merly governor general of this island, tiarsformed about 100.000 self-supporting peopie.prlncipally women and chil dren. Into a multitude to be sustained by the contributions or die o. starva tion or of fevers, resulting from a low physical condition and being massed In large bodies without change of clothing and without food. Their homes were burned, their Holds nnd plant beds destroyed and their llvo slock driven away or killed, t esti mate that LIW.ihn) of the rural popula tion in the provinces of Pillar Uel Hlo, Havana, Matanzus and Santa Clara have riled of starvation or from re sultant causes.and tho deaths of whole families almost simultaneously, or within a few days nf each other and of mothers praying for their children to be relieved of their horrible sufferings by death, are not the least of the many pitiable scenes which were ever present. In the provinces of Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba, where the reconcentrado order could not bo enforced, the great mass of people nre self-sustaining. A daily average of ten cents worth of food to 200,000 people would be an expenditure of S20.000 per day and of course the most humane efforts upon the part of our citizens ennnot hope to accomplish such a gigantic relief ami a great portion of these people will have to bo abandoned to their fate. General Lef -nelosed In this com munlcaMon an Itorinl from El Diario ile La rlna lileh vigorously de nounced i sedlt. -s tumult of the day before ns i -Ictory for Gomez and tho enemies of ...pain. Jan. 12. 13, 14 and 13, General Lee sent brief cablegrams to the depart ment with regard to this rioting and the demonstrations against autonomy and Dlanro and tho newspaper offices. Jan. 17. he said some nf the rioters threatened to go to tho United States consulate. "Ships," he said, "are not needed but may be later. If Ameri cans are in danger, ships should move promptly for Hnvana Uncertainty nnd excitement widespread." The rioting ceased the next day and je.-ui-Hi jee reported all quiet. CONFIDENTIAL ADVICES. On the 18th, General Lee sent a de spatch marked "Confidential" regard Inst the rlotlnp. It follows: The recent disorders In this city are to bo primarily attributed to a group of Spanish officers who wero Incensed at nrtlcles appearing In threo of the newspapers of Habana II Re concentrado, Discussion and El Diario do La Marina. The first was very pronounced against Woyler and his methods; tho next. Discussion, hud been suppressed by Weyler. but Its publication was permitted to bo re sumed by Blanco and tho last had been an ultra-Spanish organ but hnd been converted by the present authori ties to autonomy. It Is probable that Spanish ofUccrs were first provoked bsi tho denunciation of Weyler In the columns of one of these papers und de termined to stop It and afterwards being supported by tho mob.turned the demonstration Into un antl-autonomls-tie affair. Tho Intelligent Spaniards see no prosperity in tho future, but rather other wars and more confusion, in the same old attempts to make the waters of commorco llow In unnatural chan nels. Tho lower Spanish classes have nothing in mind when autonomy Is mentioned, except Cuban local rule, henco their opposition. I1LANCO RAFFLED. Fobruary 10 he telegraphed tho state deportment at) follows: Captain general returned yesterday, met with no bucccsh of nny sort. Spaniards everywhere unfriendly, tu mors of coming demonrtratlon against him here. I think him an excellent nan but In unfortunate position: rhreo serious combats reported within a week, In each Insurgents victorious. The name day ho sent to the utate department a statement of the condi tion In tho towns of the nolehborhood Of thft cltV nf Tlflvana ..,.1 1 - ' ""ii HVM TlprKOIl I ho hart (icnt to thoso places for the pur pose of Inspecting the number and con dition of tho starving. The statement covers four towns In fho neighborhood of Havana nnd Is largely n repetition of the awful talcs of sufferlnc which came from the other portions of the ! land. It says: There arc oilier towns In tho samo condition, for exnmple. Catallnn nnd Nadruga, whose situation could bo In some degree relieved If tha country peoplo were nllowed to leavo tho town freely In search of food. In some towns this Is entirely prohibited, In others they nre obliged to pay a tax. Not having anything to eat how can they pay n tax? In even town tho Ilrst thing noticed Is the unhealthy condition of tho men and their total lack of physical strength. In these districts tho relief given to the recon cfntrudos by General lllanco Is a fi.rci!. The land near the town comprised in the zone for cultivation, tho state ment soys, has been rented by four Spaniards who'have wealth and Influ ence nnd they employ the few recon centrados who aro ablo to work nt 30 or J cents per day, but nobody can lenrc the town without a pass good for n month and wliloh costs 20 cents. The men nre obliged to work until 6 In the evening without food. Tho wo men who leave In search of vegetables arc sometimes deprived of them on their way back by guerrillas, In 15 duys 200 reconccntrados have died In Guinea from starvation. A LETTER FROM GOMEZ. On February 15 General Lee trans mitted to tho department n letter with Its translation signed by tho Insurgent commandor-ln-chlef, General Gomez, addressed to President McKlnley. Gen eral Leo snys the letter was delivered by a messenger who nt once departed before he saw or had nnv communi cation with him. The literal transla tion Is ns follows: To William McKlnley, president of tho United Slates Sir: Tho poor Cu ban people possess ns a characteristic quality of Its moral being and devel oped to a high degree, one of tho most nohle sentiments, namely, gratitude; whoever has done well for Cuba wins for himself forever the lively recogni tion of the sons of the Cuban soil. Your great people have given to the whole world an example of lofty vir tue and to the shame and stain of Spain not only has It shown compas sion before tho great misfortunes brought on Cuba by the ferocious Spanish policy, but has extended a helping hand to the unhappy victims of the warfare carried on by the army of that nation. Tho gratitude of this people must be on u par with that groat and gener ous Impulse, and If Cuba by Its geo graphical situation and tho necessity of Its commercial existence Is called to maintain, once that It Is free and for the mutual benefit of both coun tries, closer relations with your great republic than with any other nation whatever, from this day forward, Cuba will consider herself bound by a closer tie In the affection It bears for the noble American magnanimity. However true and minute may be the reports that you have heard, never will you bo able to form a Just con ception of all the bloodshed, the mis ery, the ruin and the sorrow caused to the ullllcted Cubans, to obtain her Independence, nnd how the despotic spirit of Spain, Irritated to the laBt degree before the most just of all rec ollection, has revelled In the most Im placable destruction of everything, lives nnd property. The nation which nt one time adopted the Inquisition and Invented Its tortures lastly con ceived the reconcentratlon scheme.the most horrible of all means to martyr ize and then to annihilate an entire people, and If It has stopped In tho path of destruction It Is due In a great measure to tho cry of Indignation which the knowlcdgo of such horrors unanimously drew from tho states over which you govern. Tho peoplo who aro saved from ex tinction and whose evils your gifts nssuiige. Is the peoplo for whose liber ty we dally shed our blood on tho ilelds of battle: the country whose Inde pendence we now conquer at the point of the sword for them ns also for us; blood of our blood and flesh of our flesh; we must rejoice with them In their Joys ns we weep and sympa thize with them In their sorrow nnd griefs. He not surprised, then, that as the .general In chief of this Cuban army, I nm so deeply moved at the wave of compassion which agitates your noblo country that I accede to the request of the patriots I com mand to appear before you, the repre sentative of the great nation, as tho exponent of our immense gratitude. 1 have therefore, sir. to fulfill a con scientious duty by setting forth a fact which I beg you will please transmit to the knowledge of the persons to whom Is recommended the philan thropic mission of succoring tho un happy, destitute Cubans, In order thnt Ighorance of certain antecedents may not deprive many needy ones of the enjoyment of that noble American chnrlty. The revolution, ns absolute master of the country, has never proscribed nny citizen, whatever his nationality, from earning his living and It hns happened that as soon ns the barbar ousconcentrutiondegree was proclaim ed Innumerable families have left and still leave the city for the Ilelds, Im pelled by hunger to wrest from tho fruitful Cuban vegetation the means of relieving the most pressing needs of life. ..Thoso unhappy beings Ignore the fact that If tho Spaniards by steel nmt privation have shrouded their hearts in mourning, so also it may be said that the flora of Cuba was In mournlng.dovnstnted by the bullet and torch. Wherefore being In the samo circumstances theso unfortunates havo the same moral right to.nartlci. pate In the relief furnished to needy uuuiin uy your generous people. Many a widow, many n mother, many nn orphan do we meet In our way who asks of us succor that we are not ablo to give but most sparingly and there fore upon pointing out to them tho charity awakened In their behalf In your noblo nation. I desire to honor myself by offering my services to co operato In tho noble work with all tho power and means within the reach of tho forces I command. I am sir. with tho most distinguished consideration, (Signed; m. Gomez. March 1, General Lee reports that tho distribution of food, medicines nnd clothing to the destitute is proceeding satisfactorily under the supervision and direction of Miss Clnra Uarton of the Red Cross, He says that the num ber of poor and destitute Is so largo that It Is Impossible to relievo large numbers In each locality. SPANISH HELLISHNESS. Mnrch 14, ho encloses a letter from Consul Barker, of Sagua, who requests him to transmit tho following letter which Is nddressed to him (General Lee) : "Dear Sir: I will thank you to com munlcnto to the department as quick ly as possible tho fact that tho mili tary commander and other military officers positively refuse to allow the reconccntrados to whom I nm IssuIh.t wm, l1! ,raw 8,tat? t0 nroc'lre " with which to cook tho food.

MORE HELLISHNESS. March 26 General Lee reports that "Instructions have been given by tho civil government of Havana that Al oades nnd other officers shall not give out any facts nbout the reconcentrndos and If any of the American relief com mittees should make Inquiries concern ing them all such Inquiries must bo referred to him." General 'Lee's dispatch concludes with a dispatch under date of April 1, transmitting the decree of the gover nor general terminating the reconcen tratlon order. THE MAINE DISASTER. The consular correspondence also In part was devoted to the Maine disaster and In this some Important and Inter esting points are developed. The cor respondence consists largely of cable grams exchanged by Assistant Secre tary of State Day and Consul General Lee. Tho first of the telegrams Is dated In Havana, January 12, and relates to the riots which were then occurring In the city. This and the subsequent tele grams on the same subject have been published either In whole or In part. On January 21 General Lee was noti fied by tho state department that the Maine would call at Havana in n day or two and was directed to make ar rangements for an Interchange of friendly calls between officers and au thorities. Under the same date Gen eral Lee advised a postponement of tho Maine's visit for six or seven days, THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS. A Contented Wotnnn. Ono of Hoyt's best comedies "A Con tented Woman" was produced at tho Ly ceum yesterday afternoon and evening by a company headed by Miss Belle Arch er, a graceful young woman who has many friends In this city. The play was written by Hoyt as a medium for his beautiful wife, Caroline Mlskel Hoyt, to star In. Miss Archer Is almost as beau tiful as Mrs. Hoyt and a somewhat bet ter actress.

There was a good sized audience at the Academy of Music last night at tho open ing of tho engagement of the repertoire cempany headed by Miss Alma Chester. The drama presented waB "Wife for Wife," one of intense human Interest that Is filled with exciting Incidents and situations. Tho company presenting tho drama Is composed of excellent material. Miss Chester Is pretty, graceful and a finished actress. She Invested the role of Edith Walton, the much-wronged wife, with a naturalness that brought her sorrow vividly before tho audience. Irv ing White made a fine Impression by his Interpretation of the character of Ed ward Walton, who Is -turned against his wife by the perfidy of a slave who seeks revenge. Other clever members of the company are: Frederick Hensll. J. P. Rutlldge, Frank H. Fey, Emma Do Weale, Goldlo Cleveland and Eva Rut ledge.

Theso aro realistically, dramat ically and artistically portrayed after sketches mado at the last production of this Scriptural drama given at Obcram mcrgau nnd are said to be by those who should know, very effective and Impres sive.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED IN JENNINGS CASE Dollar Verdict Set Anldc by Jud(e Searlc on Qrouad of Error. PART OP CIIAROB MISLEADING In the Cniio of John C. Jennlng Against Lehigh Vnllor Itnllrond Compnny Tor Ditmngai lor Loss of Services ol Ills Hon, Judb'e Senrlo Admits Thnt a Portion of Ills In structtous to the Jury Was JHUIed Ine Uscnuie It Was Inoomploto. On the ground that error was com mitted In charging the Jury that the plaintiff was entitled to recover only for the net earnings of his son, Judge D. W. Searle, of Montrose, yesterday granted a new trial In the case of John G. Jennings against the Lehigh Valley Itallroad company, which was asked for by the defendant after securing a ver dict of $1. Judge Searle was called here to specially preside at tho trial of the case. The opinion Is as fol lows: Rule to show ccuso why a new trial shall not be granted: This Is an action In trespass by John G. Jennings vs. the Lehigh Valley Railroad company to lecover damage which ho claims ho has sustutned by reason of his minor son, Jumps Jennings, having been Injured while a passenger upon tho rnh road of defendant, through tho negll genco of the defendant. The verdict of tho Jury was for tho plaintiff in the sum of one dollar, ren dered September 25, 1897. The plaintiff, September 29, 1M7, filed reasons for a new trial as follows: REASONS CITED BY PLAINTIFF. First Tho court erred In rejecting the plaintiff's offer to prove the verdict and Judgment In the case of James Jennings by his next friend, John G. Jennings, vs. tho Lehigh Valley Railroad company. Second Also In charging tho Jury that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover for the services of his wife and daugh ter In nursing the injured party. Third Also charging tho Jury that the plaintiff was entitled only to recover the net earnings of his minor son. Fourth Also in affirming tho defend ant's second, third, fifth and sixth points. Fifth The verdict is against the law and tho evidence and tho churge of the court. Sixth The verdict is unlawful, Incon sistent, und ubsurd in this; It finds that tho plaintiff suffered damage, and allows him only nominal damage. Seventh The court erred In pel mining evidence to be read to the Jury In the ab sence of tho court and tho plaintiff and and the plaintiff's counsel. Upon theso reasons the above rule was granted. Dec. 17. 1697, the following ad ditional reason was filed; The court erred in charging that Dr. Gibbons in a short time nfter the acci dent visited the boy and found him suf fering from inflammatory rheumatism. On the question of the measure of dam age, the Jury was Instructed inter ullu, as follows: MEASURE OF DAMAGES. "The services of the boy belonged to the father, therefore he is entitled to what he would naturally earn from time of tho accident up to his arrival at the age of twenty-one years, less the ex penditures ho would have to make for his care and maintenance. In other words the father could not charge as an item of damage In a caso of this kind for what tho boy could earn without giving credit for what ho would naturally have to pay out for the support and maintenance of the boy. The net earnings of tho boy Is the loss to tho father, for which he Is entitled to recover." The above Instructions In Its applica tion to tho undisputed facts In this case was misleading and wrong. A father Is entitled to all the earnings of his minor son, and Is obliged to care for and main tain him; In tho case of tho death of the son, or probable earnings, less the prob able cost of his maintenance, in other words the net earnings of the son. but in the case of nn injury to the son not rosultlng in death, the obligation to maintain the son still exists upon the father, and tho pecuniary loss to the father would be all the earnings of the son, which wero lost to tho fnther by reason of the Injury, together with such additional expenso as would be conse quent upon tho Injury. The undisputed facts In this case are that James Jennings was supported by his father, John G. Jennings, the plain tiff in this case, from tho time of the ac cident until his arrival at tho age of twenty-one years. INJUNCTION WRONG. Tho Instruction complained of was wrong and calculated to mislead the Jury In their deliberations as to the amount of tho damage plaintiff sustained, and un doubtedly did mislead them. This error Is such as to require the granting of n new trial, and renders un necessary the discussion of any of tho other reasons assigned, nnd, regarding which, as the caso has to bo retried, I had better express no opinion. Rulo to show cause why a new trial should not bo granted Is hereby made ab solute. DR. HALBERSTADT APPOINTED. Ilns Been Appointed Third llrigndo Surgeon by Grnernl Onliin.
