LETTER FROM GENERAL LEE.
Denis Pretty Fully With Cuban Afl'alrs. Barbarities of Spanish Ollicers. WASHINGTON, June 23.—A very interesting letter has been received by a relative from General Lee. It was written on the 12th inst. and deals pretty fully with Cuban affairs. Tho Spanish authorities, the general says, have treated him with great courtesy, and Captain General Weyler has granted every request thus far preferred, even allowing him to visit the prison where the captured Americans are confined.
Of the Spanish troops he says they are fairly well drilled, but under a system of tactics and manual totally different from anything he had ever seen.
As to the insurgents, they practically have control of the island. Their emissaries come anil go out of the towns and cities as they will, and he believes the entire native population is iu sympathy with them.
As to the inhumanity of the Spanish commanders, General Leo expresses himself in the plainest terms. "They do not regard the laws of modern war nor the usages customary among civilized nations at all," he says. "From every quarter there is the same testimony concerning the barbarities of the Spanish soldiers. Some of the evidence I have heard would be beyond belief, did 1 not know it to be most reliable. Violations of women, the plundering of inoffensive citizens, murder. ry form of rapine is the varying story of prisoners and natives of the island who happen to be under suspicion, and it takes very little indeed here to place you under suspicion."
General Lee doubts if peace could be made now short of a basis of absolute independence and freedom from Spanish control.
SENSATION AT YALE.
Key. Joseph Twitclull's Condemnatory Words Freely Criticised. NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 23.—There was a tremendous sensation on the Yale campus yesterday afternoon caused by an unexpected remark of Rev. Dr. Joseph Twitehell of Hartford during his oration at the '^'lic-ation of the Woolsey memoral statue. It arose from the fact thi.t the ivy planted was from the grave of General Robert E. Lee.
In the course of his speech referring to General Woolsey, Dr. Twitehell said: "He was a union man, heart and soul, and it would make this bronze statue avert its head were lie to know that the graduating class of Yale were to plant oil the walls of a building on tho campus an ivy from the grave of General Robert E. Lee. General Lee was a good man, but he was loyal to an infamous cause."
This utterance came like a thunderbolt from a clear, sky, but there was no demonstration until he had finished, and then the condemnatory words were freely criticised, the consensus of opinion among the professors anil sensors was that the remarks were ill-advised. Immediately after the dedicatory exercises the ivy committee held a meeting and the proposition was made to change the ivy, but it was voted down anil it was planted with the usual ceremonies,
EXTERMINATES FOOTPADS-
Chicago Saloonkeeper Kids tlio City Tough Characters. CHICAGO, June 23.—John Clark, a saloonkeeper, took a hand last night in the attempt to rid the city of the footpads and robbers which infest it. Clark's method was simple and effective. He filled the robbers full of lead and then called the police to carry away the dead and wounded.
Yesterday William Maroney and James Bartley entered Clark's saloon and brutally beat William Harris, the bartender, anil attempted to rob the piace. When Clark heard of it he weut out and bought two big revolvers and waited for "the men. They returned last night and again assaulted the bartender. Clark heard the noise and came to the rescue with his guns. He killed Maroney instantly and shot Bartley through the legs and body, inflicting fatal wounds.

SEVEN MEN KILLED
Terrific Boiler Explosion
May Never lie Known—Three Badly Injured.
WOODVIIXE, Tex., June 23.—At Doucette, throe miles north of Woodville, yesterday the tram engine boiler of tho Nebraska Lumber company exploded, killing seven men outright and seriously if not fatally, injuring three others. It seems that the engineer was just ready to start for the log camp when the explosion took place, some six or eight men being in the cab, six of tlio seven victims han their heads entirely torn from their bodies and otherwise mutilated beyond recognition.

UNKNOWN MAN. The wounded: •, -1 Dan A. llurman, fireman, arms terribly lacerated and painfully scalded about tho face and neck.
D. O. Sullivan, section hand, badly scalded. Dowling, scalded about the face aud neck.
The reports of just how tho terrible accident happened arc somewhat conflicting. One report is that the engine had just left Doucotfe and had jumped the track. The men crowded around to get the engine back when the explosion occurred.
Another report says that the men were in the cab when tho accident occurred.
Another reason given is that the engineer let his water run low with a hot fire and turned on the injector. An eye witness says he heard the noise aiid squatted between tho ties and looked.
Iron flew through the sky like shot and carried everything in its path. The men who met death never knew what killed them. A sharp report, a rainlike patter of iron, and it was all over.

IM STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
three Men Killed and tho Fourth Sorlously Hurt In a Crossing Accident. ATLANTIC. X. J., June 22.—Three
men were instantly killed and a fourth probably fatally injured in a grailo crossing acalent at Abscnn yesterday. The dead a re: l.i"orge Huber, aged 00 years Frederick i._ab r, his son, aged 83 years, of Gerinania, this county, and Harry llentxler of Philadelphia. The injured man is Joseph Salil of Galloway, a member of the board of freeholders.
The men left Gcrmania for a day's pleasure in a covered wagon drawn by a pair of spirited horses. Upon reaching Absecou the animals either became unmanageable or the driver, young Huber attempted to beat the approaching express train across the tracks. The train was ruunint at the rate of GO miles an hour. Tho wagou was partly over the tracks when the train struck it full and threw the men in all directions. The Hubers were caught under the engine wheels aud ground into pieces. Hentzler was thrown against the station with a horse on top of him. Sahl fell upon his side on tho platform, breaking au arm iu two places, fracturing three ribs and puncturing a hole in one of his lungs.
RULING AS TO POLICEMEN.
Cannot l*o Guilty of Contributory Negligence lu Saving Lilo. PITTSBURG, Juno 22.—Some weeks ago Policeman Dillon, while patroling his beat, tried to remove a live wire from the sidewalk where people were passing. He was killed and his widow sued tho Allegheny County Light company for damages. Tho jury gave her a verdict of §5,000. The company's attorneys moved for anew trial Saturday, claiming contributory negligence. Judge McClung filed an opinion refusing another trial of the case and raised a novel point. He said it was the duty of the officer to protect the lives of the pedestrians by removing the wire, no matter if it meant death to him. The law does not say to the policeman that his first duty is to look to his own safety. A private citizen might bo guilty of contributory negligence, but not an officer who swears to protect- lives and propeit.
