But to offset these Cuban victories, there
have been Spanish successes. Gen. Al
dawes column has captured six Cuban
hospitals in the Siguanua Mountains,
butchered the wounded, the physicians and
the female nurses, and burned the bodies
and the buildings
How long viii the United States Govern
ment remain Indifferent to such orgies of
blood? Under much less aggravating
circumstances England has compelled
Spain to respect prisoners, noncombatants,
women and children. This country could
do the same thing now and could have
done it at any time within the past two
years.
International law iustifics such inter
vention, and the outraged humanity OF all
Christendom dema nds It.
IL there is any honorable reason for
standing by and seeing prisoners and
wounded men hacked TO pieces with ma
chetes; of witnessing the outrage, torture
and burning alive or helpless women,

buke or vengeance, we want to know it.

WHOLE FAMILY BURNED.
Strong Evidences That Murder Pre-
ceded the Conflagration.

Nashville, Tenn, March 24-Particulars
or what appears to have been a horrible
and brutal murder We're received here from
Paradise Ridge early this morning. Jacob
AIDE, one of the Oldest and best known
farmers of the Ridge settlement; his wife,
his daughter and son and little daugh
ter OF Henry Moirer, were probably Inur-
dered and their bodies cremated in AIDES
house. which was burned to the ground
The theory OF murder is strengthened
by the fact that all the bodies were found
in the same room, but scattered around
over the space occupied by this room.
1t was first thought that the old man
was killed for his money, as he was kno wn
to be well to do, and always kept u supply
or money on hand, but whether this be
true cannot bepositively stated no w, as the
old man money, or at least the ashes
OF what was once big roll OF money
has been discovered in the ruins of the
house.
The dead are:
Jacob Ade.
Mrs. j. Ade
Lizzie Ade, agcf twenty years
Henry AIDE, aged thirteen years
Rosa Morer, aged ten years
Henry Ade, the thirteen-y earold son OF
Mr.. AIDE, was also missing, but his body
could not be found. further search Of the
ruins OF the house this morning disclosed
his body.
The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Ade, Miss
Lizzie AIDE, and Henry Ade were burned
to crisp. The limbs and heads were
burned off, and In fact, only a small mass
OF flesh and bones remained The OLD man
and his wife were more horribly burned
than the others
The body of Rosa Moirer was not burned
so badly as the others A portion OF her
skull was missing, hut the brain, which was
exposed, and the skin on her face was oriy
partially burned. This fact gives further
evidence in support of the theory OF
murder.
In searching the ruins of the house this
morning an oyster can was found under
the place where a closet once stood in
Mr.. AIDES sleepiugroom.
In this can the remains OF what was
evidently large roll OF money was found
together with four dollars which had been
melted so that they were stickin together
Mr. AIDES neighbors knew that he kept
his money in this closet He was in the
city Monday. While here he told Jerry
Matthews that he had So, 900 and that he
did not know what to do with it.
