Infinitely better would have been his fate had he ioined the insurgent army and been killed on the field of battle. The ordinary! suspect is not executed, but if he be proved guilty of treason the garrote will speedily end his troubles. The garrote is the official form of punishment in Spain. Nearly all of the death sentences are executed in the Pradara de la Ysidro, in Madrid. All executions are; public, and are usually held early in the morning. The criminal is always mounted upon the back of a tiny Spanish donkey, and goes to the place of execution in a procession, which consists of citizens, priests and soldiers. Prior to leaving the prison in which the condemned has been confined mass is celebrated, and the death sentence is read to the guilty wretch. When the prisoner reaches the place of ex-- " edition he mounts a scaffold, a black handkerchief is tied over his face, and he is manacled to a cbalr. Then around his neck is placed the band of the garrote. Two turns of a powerful crushes the neck of the victim and almost severs the head from the body.

The town was built by the Moors about 945, and it is probable that there is no other one place In the world where so many devices of torture are concentrated. Ceuta is a very small place, and the Moors constructed a chain of fortresses around it to gmard against any possible attack. It is In the cellars of thesej ancient and decaying fortresses that the dungeons are located.' They, are hewn out of the solid rock ,and are in tiers to a depth of fifty or sixty feet. The approach to them is made through narrow openings in the stone floors of the' fortress, and when the horri.ble hole is opened the foul odor Is overpoweof filth and decomposition '.-'r 1: ring1.: These dungeons are inhabited almost solely by political prisoners, and many Cubans arrested during the present rebellion are there.
