SEVEN WE'RE KILLED. -
FriehtfuI Result ~ the Explosion OF a
Tram Engine Boiler.

AFblh N4hfAht h'ittfs
WooDvuLE, Tex, June 23.--At Dou-
cote, three miles north OF Woodville, tho
tram engine boiler of the Nebraska Lum-
Der company exploded, killing seven men
outright and seriously If not fatally injur-
ing three others. It seems that the engi
neer was just ready to start for the log
camp when the explosion took place, some
xix or eight men being in the cab. Six Of
the seven victims had their heads entirely
torn from their bodies and were otherwise
mutilated beyond recognition. The fol-
lowing is list Of the killed:
A. l.. Doucette, president of the Nebras-
ka Lumber company.
Grant Hammerly, engineer.
Charles Walworth foreman.
Charles Smith, section hand.
Wylie Sargent, millhand.
A man known about the mill as
Frenchy, but whose right name could not
be ascertained
Another unknown man.
The wounded are; Dan A. Harman,
fireman, arms terribly lacerated and pain
fully scalded lout the face and neck; d.
O. Sullivan, section hand, badly scalded
- Bowling, scaded abott the face and
neck
The reports of just how the accident
happened are somewhat conflicting. One
report Is that the engine had just left Dou
cette and had jumped the track. The mon
crowded around to get the engine back,
when the explosion occurred Another re-
port says the men were in the cab when
the accident occurred. The engine was
what is known rs shay" with the ma
ohinery on one side and the drivers pro-
PEELED by cogwheels. just what caused
the explosion will probably never be
known. The water which supplied the en-
gine has been low and muddy. and the
sediment is supposed to Have caked In the
bottom Of the boiler until it became dan
gorous Another reason given is that the
engineer let his water get low, with a hot
Gre, and turned on the injector An eye.
witness says he heard the noise and squat
ted between the ties and looked. Iron flew
! through the sky like shot and carried ev-
erything in its path. The men who met
death Devor knew what killed them. A
sharp report, a rainlike patter Of iron, and
It was all over Six Of tho dead were bur-
led near the scene Of their death, and the
remains OF Mr.. Doucotto were brought
here and forwarded TO Orange.

Of annexation the great majority regard
such thing as ono practical and desirable

that hostilities between the Spanish and

insurgents, he says. expect the yellow fe-

Spanish troops during the next two
months. Whom asked about his friends,
General Bitz Hugh Lee. the Amerinan cone
sui general to Cuba, Mr. Ryan said that
he left him in excellent health and spirits
and very busy; that he was making a
thorough ana impartial study of the situa-
ton, and that he was just now at work on
a report to she state department
Being a thorough soldier and man Of
affairs, General Lee was admirably adapt.
ed for the difficult task which he had un-
dertaken. General Lee, he said, was ex-
oeedingly popular, both the Spanish OIL
cials and tho Cubans showing him utinost
respect and consideration. He had received
many invitations to dine out, but owing
to pressing official duties he had declined
most of them.
'Will General Lees report lean to the
Cuban or tho Spanish sideT' asked the re-
porter.
when his report is completed and sent
to Washington replied Mr.. Ryan, ''it
will be full of important information and
will be a valuable state paper" As to the
bias of General Lees report, he could not
say.
"Will General Lee remain at his post al
summer, or will he return home on leave
OF absence?' was asked.
"He expects to remain In Havana
throughout the summer"

Ivy From General Lees Grave Planted on
Yale Campus.
NEW HAVEN, June 90 There was a
tremendous sensation on the Yale campus.
caused by an unexpected remark made by
Rev. DR.. Joseph Twitchell of Hartford
during his oration at the dedication Of the
Woolsey memorial statue
1t arose from the fact that the ivy
planted at the class day exercises was
from the grave of General Robert h. Lee.
The fact that this ivy was to be used
has Occasioned some little comment out
side the college the past few days Rev.
Mr.. Twitchell holds "a position among the
Yale alumni second only to that of Chaun-
oey NJ. Depew, and his words are always
given great weight
In the course Of his speech referring to
Professor Woolsey, Dr. Twitohell said
- lie was a Union man, heart and SOUL
and it would make this bronze statue
avert its head were he TO know that the
graduating cluss of Yale were to plant on
the walls Of building on tho campus an
ivy from the grave OF General Robert E.
Lee. General Lee was a good man, but
he was loyal TO an infamous cause.
This utterance came like thunder clap
from clear sky, but there was no demon
stration until he had finished, and then
the condemnatory words were freely ortiz
cised, the consensus of opinion among the
professors and seniors being that the re-
marks were at least i'll advised
Immediately after tho dedicatory exer-
cises the ivy committee held a meeting,
and the proposition was made to change
the ivy, but it WAS voted down, and it
was planted with the usual ceremonies.

MADRID June 28.-The profoundest
sensation has been caused hore by the
nows of the alleged purport of a report by
United States Consul General Lee to Pres
ident Cleveland oa the state Of affairs in
Cuba, which report is said 10 be on this
way from Havana to Washington.
The effect of the intelligence is difficult
TO exaggernte.
All classes of the community are greatly
wrought mp, but the commotion Is espe-
cially great in parliamentary and political
circles.
The Hobbies Of the senate were extreme
ly animated just before Senator Comas be-
gan an energetic anti-American speech on
moving an amendment to the address in
reply to the speech from the throne asking
the government 60 annul, all treaties be-
tween Spain and the United States.
The impression is general among poll
ticians and military men that the govern
ment will be requested to Withdraw Con

has expressed opinions as uDfavorable to
Spanish rule in Cuba as rumor credits
him with having done.

ernment TO expend In the war in Cuba as
much or the colonial and imperial reve-
nnes MS may be necessary to secure success
and also authorizing it to negotiate un-
limited loans or credit.
The Madrid press continues to lay much
stress upbn the closer relations likely to
DO established between Spain, France aud
Russia when occasUn arises. The mark

fleet in the ports Of north Spain Is hailed
by Spaniards as a happy omen.
