Threatens TO Attack Lee.

New York, Feb. GA dispatch
to the Sun from Havana says: 'Ra-
vana is alarmed. The 5paniards are
wildly excited against Consul Gen
eral Lee and the Americans. The re-
port was circulated yesterday morn
ing that American warships were
coming to Havana by request OF Con,
sui General Lee, and the indignation
of the volunteers was so intense over
that report, that fearing demonstra-
ton against the United States, the
marquis OF Ahumada privately called
to his Office the colonies of the battal-
lions OF volunteers in the city and
assured them that the report was ao-
solutely false, and that General. Lee,
in investigating the death OF Dr.. Ruiz,
only obeyed instructions from the
state department OF W ashington given
in a friendly, peaceful spirit. The
Spanish volunteers and merchants
openly say that if any American war
ship enters the bay of Havana they
will attack the American consulate.
If no appeal for warships has been
made the fact remains none the less,
that they are needed, and that the
American government could not send
its naval vessels any where to protect
the lives and interests OF its citizens
with better reasons.

AGsnerous Foe.

Major General Alfred Pleasanton,
who died in Washington Wednesday,
was brave cavalry leader in the
Union army, and like all truly brav e
soldiers who wore the blue he had re-
spect for the courage and patriotism
OF the men who wore the gray, and
always defended them when sneerlng
or derogatory remarks were made
about them. The Philadelphia Times
tells an incident which illustrates
Pleasanton's friendly regard for the
South. On one occasion, in an ''all
night house, stranger came upon
the scene and began the utterance OF
much abusive language concerning the
Southern soldiers, saying that they
were braggarts and towards. General
Pleasanton was there, and asked the
stranger if he recognized him. The
stranger said no, and the old soldier
said: well, l remember you very
well. I am Alfred Pleasanton. l had
you drummed out of my camp for
cowardice before Antietam. Get out
Of the place" And the fellow dlsap-
peared.

Gibson represents one Of the East
Tennessee districts, and although a

then 90 on to instruct the President
TO demand the immediate restitution
to liberty OF every American citizen,

A RAILROAD MASSACRE.
Nine 0re oF* Family of Twelve Killed by

CHATTANOOGA. Teno., Feb. 24.-
About o'clock this afternoon on the
Southern Railway. four miles from

No. Z, travelling at a hign speed,
struck 6 covered country wagon,
which was trying to clear the tracks
ahead of the train atAvondale crossing.
Tie wagon was hit tsquarely in the cen
tre and with its ten occupants hurled
high into the air. The occupants
were; Mrs. w. J. Woodward, her
eight children and one grandchild,
and all but one were killed. The
dead are: Mrs. William J. Wood.

The last two named fingered seversl
hours after the accident. 4 striking
feature Of the catastrophe is that no
limbs were broken, bat in nearly every
case the skulls OF the victims were
crushed to fragments, each body
seeming to describe an ellipse through
the air and falling upon its head,
several fifty to one hundred feet
from the scene. Lizzie Montgomery,
3 comely young matron, descended
on the pilot OF the locomotive and
still held her two-year.old sister, who
escaped with few scratches, and was
the only one saved in her lifeless
arms. The unfortUnates were the
family of a well-known farmer living
near Kings Point, Tenn. They were
returning home from this city in a
wagon OF the ''prarie schooner" type
and George Woodward. the Oldest
son, vas driving. Nearing the cross
ing the young man heard the danger
signal and tried ID check his team,
which however, became unmanagea
bic and dashed on the track. This
crossing is particularly dangerous, as
trees fringe the railroad almost 10 the
crossing, which is also partly hidden
behind a curve. Fifty yards from the
place the engineer, Abraham Laird,
reversed his lever, having given the
usual danger signal, out too late to do
any good. The ground for some dis
tance presented a cory sight. The
bodies were gathered up after much
searching and taken to the morgue,
where the nine members OF the same
family made gruesclne spectacle.
The infant, which was undoubtedly
shocked to death, lay like wax fig
ure in its mothers arms. Every
window in the passenger coaches was
broken and the engines pilot was de-
molished. The engineer is absolved
from blame for the accident. The ia
ther and one child remain OF family
Of twelve.

Cropping Them Prevents the Animals

 From Hearing Well.
 Any one who has heard the mega phone must have wondered at the ex- traordinary power of increasing sound that is produced by form. and would like to call attention 10 one point in connection with cutting dogs ears that l do not remember to have seen men, toned anywhere = that is, from an acoustic standpoint
 have lately purchased q small York shire terrier, imported from England only few months ago. It's ears were clipped in England after what the seller of the dog declared to be the very lat est style.
 The ears were first clipped and then stiffened up with three effects on the dog:
 First That the buzz of bee or fly causes him to retreat under cover of safety.
 Second. That he ducks his head when about to be patted, snre sign of the length of time the pain of the oper- ation must have lasted.
 Third -tAn effect 1 had not expect ed. That he has absolutely no idea of the direction uf sound.
 h the ears of mastiff dog any one who observes the she'll like form of the ear opening may easily imagine the in- mense power of such a trumpetlike in- strument to increase the volume of sound. X change in the aeonstical ar rangement of the flap of the ear would necessarily entirely puzzle and bewilder the owner as to the direction of sound, and this one point on ear cutting would seem of itself to condemn the practice.
