Ten men were shot at Moro Castle last Sunday. and this morning ten more were shot. Of all that occurs behind those walls the greatest part must be a matter of conjecture. Only a few Spaniards know, and they do not tell. It is supe posed that subterranean passages lead under the waters of the bay from Moro castle to the strong fortification just across in Havans, and that this is made use of to the disposition of prisoners; -
All political prisoners, however, who are se- corded a trial and condemned to die, are publicly exocuted. These affairs are made great occa- ions, and before sunrise the bay is falily swarm- ing with little craft carrying visitors to the bloody scene. Women take their children and go, and all other business is for the time suspended.

The present expedition is led by General Sherdoff who has as bis assistants Captain Sweringin, the Russian explorer of Abyssinia; Lieutenant Kochoval • skilled engineer officer | six assistant surgeons, sixty attendants, one paymaster and three Interpreters. But is more than suspected that the surgeons and their assistants know much more about killing men than they do about healing wounds, and evidence is accumulating in many directions showing that both Russia and France have been smuggling arms and ammunition loto Abyssinia and possibly even lato the Soudan, and the agents of these countries are beginning the work of organising the tribes against the Italians and British.
