niningoes.

Already a petition, signed by all the

Americans in Havana, has been ad- dressed to the United States Ev rcuation Commission. asking them to demand bat the Spanish authorities re-arre; Jthe naniugoe-i and return them lt) it e I-la of Pines and the African penal est- tlemonts whence they came. All this has taken place since the signing of the Protocol. _

The only reason assigned for the re-

leasg of the naningoes is that the Span- iants still wish to make Cuba as un- .mmfortable as possible for Americans utter the evacuation. Meanwhile, the l 700 naningoes will be a constant men- ace, to order and safety.

Naningio is afname familiar only to

.I students of West Indian laws and cus- toms. Nsningism is simply another name for organized crime. Ntiningism is the Mafia of the West Indies. In Italy a. member of the Mafia is not more dreaded than is the Naningo in Cuba.

The applicant for membership in

one of the secret naningo societies must be a villain of the most ferocious sort- my, the word 0’ mouth villain of _ the stage, but a ferocious blood-lusting, cg rn;-diy, skulktng, murderous vilta.:n. His record must be shown that he _ has been in prison, at least, once for crime. The crime may be anything varying from petit larceny to homicide. ln other words, no amateurs, but only pro- fesionals, are admitted-nien who have already adop‘ed thieving and mu_'- dering as a career. They must be du- reputable characters, desperate reck- . less foes of order, destroyers of pros- perity, born vtnd-ils, violatcrs or all that is good ard virtuous. It they have thf-ss qu ilificatious they are eligible to membership in the brotherhcod of nan- inoges-a brotheih od that for years has been a. terror to the individuals on the li ghways of Cuba and of Havana in pa~ticular.

Fomtnian ni' AFRICAN Snitvi-:s.

The original naningoes andthe found-

ers ot the present societies were Ai- .rigan slaves. Ol these not much was lknowu ot the purpose of the original societies, or of the proceedings of their meetings. As soon as l tl:e`r existence was discovered the white slives iorbede these black lodge meetings; so that fear alone be~ camea sufficient motive for secrecy. It is supposed that when the slaves gathered in some obscure canebrake or forest nook, it was to revive memories t of their African homes. to practice the `rites of their savage religion, and to sympathize with one another in their grievances against their masters.

Up to the first year of the recent war,

the nauingo societies were recruited chiefly from the 'ranks ef Cuha’s Span- ish-negro population. Now, however, ltho naningoes are not all blacks. Since
