Like everything else they take hold of,
the new mission on behalf of animals
has assumed something Of the nature
of a furore with the Parisians The
new journal L'Ami des Betes is the
latest French novelty, and all the SEN
timentalists Of the nation are sending
their best wishes to it in the shape of
epigrams. NJ. Lavisse sees in animals
"une vague humanite. M. Mezieres is
convinced that we have wasted too
much time on men and not enough on
dogs and M. Coppee thinks that cats
see more of heaven than we do. One of
the writer's declares that the animals
ought to be tended in their last mo-
ments by sisters of charity. It was
Lamartine who said his dogs were the
only ones who read his thoughts and
responded to them without criticism.

DOZEN LIVES LOST.

Ice Gorge on tho Yellowstone ut Glendive.
Mon., Results in IN Overflow.
GLEND1vE, Mon, April 1U.-An ice
gorge in the Yellowstone river at this
point caused the stream to overflow,
drowning 10 persons. Three spans Of
the steel bridge are washed out, causing
. loss of $25, 900; the Northern Pacific
tracks are inundated and possibly
washed away for some distance, and the
loss to live stock by drowning will in
volve Large sum. The dead are: Mrs.
R. w: Snyder, wife Of rancher; Miss
Nellie Reagan, her niece; Miss Rose
Wybrecht, visitor to the Snyder
ranch; George F. O'Connor, and James
Sullivan, wife and six children.
The ice began moving at 7:30 in the
evening and continued flowing until
$50 p. m, when it formed a gorge. The
Snyder party, noticing the backwater,
started for the Northern Pacific tracks,
Hoping to Escape Drowning,
but before they covered half the dis
lance the water was waist deep and
they took refuge in a tree. O'Connor
was the first to be washed from the
tree, Mrs. Snyder the second and Miss
Wybrecht the third. A huge piece of
ice struck the tree and broke it in two,
carrying off Miss Reagan.
/ Later developments found eight more
persons who were victims of the over
flow, making IL in all. They COM
prised the entire family of James Sui
Ivan, wife and six children, whose resi-
dence is within 200 yards of the nearest
point Of the Yellowstone river. When
Sheriff Aiken and Charles Parker
crossed the river amidst the floating ice
they found the Sullivan residence with
doors and windows open and the entire
family dead in the ROOM

BLOODSHED IN SAMOA.
FORCE OF AMERICANS AND BRIT
iSH AMBUSHED.
Seven Are Killed and Their Bodies
Deca plated by the Savage Mataa-
fans-Forty Natives Meet Death
Causes Anxiety in Washington.

Press dispatches Wednesday from Apia,
via Auckland, n. H., stated that party Of
1O5 American and British sailors were
forced to retreat to the beach, after hav-
ing been caught in ambush by 500 Ma
taafans on German plantation.
The expedition was led by Lieut..
A. II. Freeman of the British thirdclass
cruiser Tauranga. Three officers were
killed Two British and two American
sailors also were killed. Ensign Mon
Afghan remained to assist Lieut.. Lansdale
and was shot in retiring. The natives
engaged were some of Mataafa's war
riors. They severed the heads of the Brit
ish and American officers killed. Priests
of the French mission afterward brought
the heads into Apia. The manager of the
German plantation was arrested and de-
tanned on board the Tauranga on af1ida-
Wits declaring that he was seen urging
the rebels to fight. In previous engage
ment twenty-seven of Mataafa's warriors
were killed, and there were no casualties
among the European forces.
The news from Samoa of the ambus-
cading and massacre of American and
British sailors stirred the authorities in
Washington as they have not been since
the excitement of the Spanish-American
war. The most serious phase of the af-
fair is not the aggression of the Samoan
natives, but the suspicion that they were
melted to the deed by the German resi-
dents of the island There was a refusal
on the part of the higher officials to dis
cuss the sad event. The secretary of the
German embassy called early upon Secre-
tary Hay Neither of the officials would
disclose anything as to the nature of the
exchange that took place. The arrest and
detention by the British naval officials of
a German subject is one Of the most dam
gerous features of the controversy.
The chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, Senator Davis, was one of
the earliest callers at the White House.
His brother-in-law, Bartlett Trip, has
just been appointed American member of
the Samoan commission. After a call on
the President he visited the State De-
partment. The Senator expressed grave
fear as to the complications that might en-
sue with Germany on account of the mas

SAYS RATIONS WERE GOOD.
Shafter Says that Beef on the Hoof
Was ImDraCticable.

CAPTAIN Edward II. Plummer, aide-de-
camp to Gen. Shafter, called before the
court of inquiry in Washington on the
beef question, testified as to the manner
of packing provisions to the front from
Siboney He stated that there were 10u
wagons and 1000 mules. Half of the lat
ter were used for the pack trains. The
road was bad and the provisions were got
to the men with difficulty. The ships were
so loaded that it was impossible to take
off such an assortment as would give
complete ration to each soldier. Armour's
Jacksonville agent, S. Ochsenslager, testi-
fed that the meat issued at Camp Cuba
Libre was good.
Maj. Gen. Shafter, who had charge of
the Cuban expedition, was the next wit
ness. After describing the movement Of
the American troops on Santiago he stated
that the amount of provisions taken to
Cuba was determined by the capacity of
the vessels. He first heard of the inten
ton to use canned roast beef frou Gen.
Eagan in Washington before the war.
Witness said beef on the hoof was i'm
practicable in such campaign. He never
heard a complaint of the canned roast
beef as being unfit for food until he re-
turned from Cuba. He ate it himself, and
found no fault with it. The first refrig
Grated beef was received on the 10th or
Goth of July. He only heard one COM
plant He had no reason at any time to
even think that the beef had been chem
ically treated.
Gen Shafter said that the supply of ra-
tons was good and sufficient; that there
was no complaint about the quality of the
meat; no complaint about the hardShips
an dexposure of the campaign. There
were no complaints to him from the rough
riders or their commander, Col. Roose
Welt. Maj Lee read from a report Of
Roosevelt to Col. Wood in which it was
said that the rough riders had nothing to
eat but what they captured from the
Sranards. 'If they didn't" said Gen.
Shafter, cit was their own fault, through
their own carelessness in not carrying
three days rations with them"
