Usual 15c. velvet Feather stitched | | | geon and a Cell Lined With Spikes —At the White House. se Victor Hohenstein, a German, but a nat- uralized citizen of the United States, told @ story at the White House today of hein- ous treatment by the Spaniards which is perhaps as horrible as anything yet made public. Hohenstein went there to see Sec- retary Porter, who gave him a note to B. H. Warner of the Washington Red Cross, to whom the story was repeated. Hohenstein came to this country eight years ago, leaving a position as lieutenant in the German army. He was aiso a mem- ber of the German Red Cross. He had democratic ideas, was soon naturalized and gBtew to love his adopted country. He wears that he can never again have love for his SS Carp because the Ger- man consul at Havana openly si the Spaniards and endeavored ae Sate tS join the Spanish army. Tells a Straight Story. Hohenstein is vouched for by a number of documents in his possession, and his story has nothing in it of an adventurer and a dreamer. Hohenstetn went to Ha- vana in January to aid in Red Cross work for the benefit of the starving reconcen- trados. He can speak 8: he believed that ne. uulaibe Geter te. the Red Cross officials for that reason. Dur- ing his work he had many heated disputes with Spanish officials as to the right of this country to feed the starving Cubans. Because of his tenacity spies were put upon his track. Just before the Maine was blown up Hohenstein was at work in a yellow fever hospital about twenty miles from Havana. After the blowing up of the vessel, and when General Lee advised all Americans to depart, Hohenstein re- mained too long. On the day that he was Packing his clothes to get away he was ar- rested and taken to the f Punta Brava. ‘ortifications at Roosevelt's Rough Riders Restored to Health by This G reatest of All Remedies. | Clark's “O.
