the atrocious method of warfare that more closely resembles that of the
bloodthirsty red Indian, than of a civilized Christian general.

He is openly in favor of ending the rebellion by killing every man, woman,
and child who is in favor of Cuban liberty. This method is called
"Extermination."

The Marquis de Apezteguia has travelled all the way to Madrid, to tell the
Prime Minister of Spain, Señor Canovas, the truth about Weyler, and to beg
that he be recalled.

He has told the Prime Minister how Weyler has been robbing the people, and
how he has made millions of dollars out of the Cuban war; that he is a
disgrace to Spain, and to the Spanish name, and that there is no chance of
the Cubans accepting terms from Spain while he is in command.

Weyler's treatment of the Cuban women is growing still more cruel.

Several Cuban ladies of rank were seized by his secret police, and without
being told what they were arrested for, were taken to prison, and put in a
cell with the lowest female prisoners.

After being kept in jail for twenty days, they were forced to march, with
all the criminals, through the public streets. They had to pass between
files of soldiers, the mob hooting and howling at them.

They were then put in box-cars, which are cars without seats, like those
we use for baggage. They travelled thus for more than twelve hours, packed
closely together with criminals of every kind, and forced to stand up all
the way.
