Assassinuted.

KEY WEST, January PA rumor from
some underlined source spread throughout
the city yesterday that Consul-General
Lee had been assassinated at Habana.
Advices from Habana Saturday night
stated that extra guards had been placed
around Lees Office for protection. Cir
culars were distributed around Habana

Popular excitement followed on the
heels of the assassination rumor but
both were laid TO rest by the receipt Of
a personal dispatch. addressed to Com
mander Forsyth, Of the naval station
here.
General Lee said that everything in
Habana was quiet, and that the report
Of his assassination was false. The
Spanish Consul also received Il quieting
dispatch. and so decided not 10 send On
the report of the assassination to Madrid
as it would only cause unnecessary ex-
element there.

Official Denial OF Relations With the
Frenchman.

BERLIN, January 24.-The Minister for
Foreign Affairs. Baron Won Buelow, made
a solemn statement to-day before the
Budget Committee of the Reichstag in
regard TO the Dreyfus affair. He de-
clared most emphatically that there had
never been relations Of any kind be-

and Dreyfus.
Continuing. the Minister said the story
of the waste-paper basket incident at the
German embassy al Paris. and the find
ing therein of compromising documents
affecting Dreyfus, was sheer invention.
He added that the Dreyfus affair had
not affected in the slightest degree the
calm relations between the German aud
French governments.
The speaker knew nothing of the visit
of Dreyfus to the Reichsland. and stiii
less of the alleged special facilities given
Dreyfus by German officials during MS

A New Model.

Mr., Joseph Wiilmes OF the Tamarack
has recently completed model OF an ar
rangement for hosting coal from vessels
and storing it so that in case OF fire it
could be removed at short notice. Mr..
Willmes' model is arranged after pat
tern, so that il fire were discovered in
the coal it could be dumped into the cars
on short notice and removed from the
place OF storage With very little loss.
The Tamarack- ceola people have lost
a great deal OF money from fires which
have started in their Dollar Bay coal
sheds and which have burned a great
deal OF the coal before it could be taken
out. The new plan would have the coal
stored high in the building and the der
rick arranged to dump it into the cars to
remove it. The model illustrates the
idea perfectly. 1t was shipped Yesterday
by express to Milwaukee, where it will be
examined by some OF the bridge company
people interested in that city.
