Prowli q Cats Vanouished

Innumerable cats, fighting, tearing
about under the windows and bowling
at the top Of their unmelodiOus voices.
have made many sleepless nights for
the family of Farmer Myers, residing
not far out Of Doylestown. They came
from all the country around, choosing
the yard as the place for high carnivals.
In vain Mr.. Myers hurled bootjacks,
fired his shotgun and shouted for the
nocturnal rioters to dispense. AS sum
mer wore away and autumn took it,
Mace they appeared in greater troops
than ever.
A few DAYS ago an artist entered the
farm quarters while painting autumn
l.ndscapes. and il is TO this mans IN
genuity that Farmer Myers Is at last

tbe uproar was enough to arouse me
clever boarder TO action. with phos-
nborescent paint he sketched the like
moss Of ferocious bulldog on each side
of the house. and confidently promised
tho farmer that there would be no more
disturbance, When darkness fell again
the figures of the dogs stood out IN lum-

ROOSEVELT TO GO TO FRONT
In Case OF War He Will Enter the
Army.

Washington. April ls.-Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt will probably resign his office
as assistant secretary Of the navy in case
Of hostilities with Spain to accept COM
mand for active service in the army
Nothing definite has yet been decided
upon as to what assignment he will ac-
ccpt, but it is believed he would prefer
to serve with the New York state troops
From the beginning of the present diff
culties with Spain Mr.. Roosevelt has been
prominent among those who believe wal
is the only solution Of the problem. and
since the disaster to the Maine his nd
vice to the president and members of the
cabinet has uniformly been for immediate
action against the Spaniards with the full
power of the army and navy. lie has

F|TZRUGH LEES TESTIMONY.
DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
Relieves II Ia Have Bcen the work
Of subaltern Omicers, Who Had
been Under Weyler, aud who HAD
Full Knowledge of Of the Mines
In Havana HmrbOr.

Washington, April l4.-The testimony
taken before the senate committee On for
eign relations in connection with the in
vestigation into the relations between the
United States and Cuba was made public
today. 1t constitutes a book Of about
$50 pages and includes not only the testi-
mony taken since the disaster TO tho
Maine. but also much that was known
before, and running back for year or
more.
The statement which contains the
greatest current interest is that made by
Central Lee on the 18th instant. In his
statement Lee says he was informed on
very good authority that the Spaniards
have placed two rows Of torpedoes just At
the mouth Of the harbor Of Havana within
the past two months or subsequent to
the Maine disaster. and that switch,
boards are in room in Moro castle.
"Had you any reason to suppose the
harbor was mined ut all before the blow
ing up Of the Manner asked Senator
Frye.
mo. sir. / had no reason to suspect
anything Of that sort up to that time
He then went on to say that Weyler's
letter to Santos Gusman had led him to
believe that mines might have been placed
there previous to the Maine incident, and
he said this supposition was strengthened
by telegram from Weyler II which he
had cognixance. Upon the whole he
thought the Wcylcr letter tthe Lame let
teri was a correct copy Of the genuine
| Lot Tho fol In, -, h. n
was addressed To Eva Canela. noted
Spanish woman and admirer Of Weyler,
and to Senior Gusman, and it read a. fol-
lows:
"Grave circumstances cause me to ask
you to destroy my last letter Of Febru-
airy L."
Lee said this telegram had never before
been published, and he found in it strong
confitmatory evidence Of the genuineness
Of the Weyler letter.
With reference to the responsibility for
the destruction of the Maine, Lee said:
Il am satisfied the explosion was from
the outside. have always believed the
Maine was not blown up by any private
individual, but by some officers who had
charge of the mines and electric wires
and torpedoes in the arsenal, who thor
oughly understood their business, for i
was done remarkably well.
II don't think Banco had anything to
do with it. / don't think he had any
knowledge of it. ! was sitting in my
room at the hotel when | heard the ex-
plosion and saw a great column Of fire

palace and asked for Blanco. He came in
ut once. He had just heard the news and
was crying. Tears were coming out OF
his eyes. He seemed to regret it as much
as anybody saw in Havana.

officers who had been there under Weyler
and who were probably anti BlancO any

years later he was commissioned a colo

extraordinary bravery. No privations
