discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to

been rescued. The disaster was caused
by workmen engaged in laying the foun-
dation for another building undermining
the walls.
Five bodies have been recovered and II

GEN. LEE ON THE CUBAN QUESTION

Washington, June 22.-The Post tomor-

a very interesting letter was received
today by a relative from General Lee.
It deals pretty fully with Cuban affairs.
The Spanish troops, he says, are fairly
well drilled but under system OF tao
ties different from anything the general
had ever seen. AS TO the insurgents they
practically had control Of the island. ~
to the inhunanity of the Spanish com
mandcr, General Lee expresses himself
in the plainest terms:
'"They do not regard the laws or mod
ern warfare nor the usages customary
among civilized nations at all"
He says: "TTrOm either quarter there
is the same testimony concerning the bar
barities of the Spanish soldiers. Some
Of the evidence | have heard would pc
beyond belief did I not know it to be
most relia bic. Violations Of women, the
plundering of inoffensive citizens, murder
and every form Of rapine have been m
fliceted on the natives of the island ana
it takes very little indeed TO place you
under suspicion.'
General Lee doubts if peace could be
made short of basis of absolute in1e-
pendence and freedom from Spanish con-

pALousE's SENSATIONAL STORY
Claim Made That A. S. Tays Had Not

Palouse June 23.-Quite a sensation was
created in town yesterday by the appear
ance of six men from Rebel fiat, near Col
fax. who made known their intention to
disinter the body of A. S. Tays from the
city cemetery and remove it to ColfaX for
burial.
The story had gained credence that the
body had not been buried at all, but had
been disposed of to medical students at
Pullman, and these parties were bent on
proving the truth Of the falsity of the
charge. In short time a dozen men
were in the cemetery and the grave had
given up it's dead The body was there.
not having been molested. Late last night
the men signed this statement, and left
for Cofax with the body about o'clock

whom concerned, this is to certify that
we, the undersigned citizens of Rebel
fiat, Whitman county. Washington, have
this day opened the grave of A. S. Tays
in the Palouse cemetery, and have found
the body Of said Tays. The body has been

On the 25th day Of May last, Tays killed
himself and his wife at a country house
south of town, while a circus was in the
city. At that time everything went to
show plain case of murder and suicide.
However, no inquest was held, and soon
reports were circulated and an
was begun. Ever since the
tragedy interest has increased, with the
and knowing ones said the
body was not buried. This led to the dis
interment yesterday, and a thorough post
mortem examination will be held at Col
fax today, where further developments
are expected This case now promises
to be one of the most interesting and
as the parties working on it
gave out the information that there is
evidence of a double murder and the
guilty party may yet be found.
