ALBuevRqvI, IN. NJ, Sept. l6-The
Democrat says, edltorially: "Therecent re-
ports circulated concerning the surrender
OF the Aprches and detrsctlpg from tho
members Of the campaign, have ELECTED
considerable Indignation among military
men in this section, who feel that 1t Is but
an effort to deprive gallant officers and
soldiers OF tho fruit Of their victory, and
believe that they are inspired by enyious
critics. People in this community who
know all tho facts appreciate the great
final success OF General Miles campaign
as much as they have deplored In the
past futile efforts Of others to secure last
ing peace.
Those who know, say that Geronimo
and his band were never captured or dis
armed until Gen. Miles landed them last
week at Fort Bowie, as prisoners Of war,
and the statement that Geronimo would
have surrendered upon conditions before
the recent change in'milltary commanders
in this department Is untrue; that the In
dians escaped after being captured and
turned over to the civil authorities by
Gen. Crook" Military men say that Gen.

Bad Railroad Accident but Ss Lives
Lost.
[By telegraph to the Dispatoh.1
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE
north-bound accommodation express on
the New York and Long Branch rail-
road, made up Of cars from Long
Branch and Lake Road, winter resort
Of New Jersey, was thrown from the
rails by broken switch 1000 yards
south of Matawan few minutes before
Q o'clock this morning. The cars were
filled with New York businessmen
coming to their city offices and Mon
mouth-county jurymen, who were on
their way to Freehold county-seat. No
one was seriously injured, though many
were bruised, and ladies were excited
with fright. A few feet from the poirt
where the rail was broken a tres
tie bridge 500 yards long stretches
across a deep gully. The baggage
car of the LoDg-Branch section was
first derailed, but almost Immediately
jumped back again upon the track.
The other cars, after dropping down on
the ties, ran across the bridge, swapping
steel-rails into bits and tearing the
wooden structure into splints. The rear
coach lost its trucks and was drawn
long distance on its foor-beams. The
engineer heard and saw the accident,
and, quickly realizing that the only way
to keep the cars from topping over the
trestlework was to keep them moving,
threw the throttle open and dragged the
train across. The last car and track
and bridge are total wreck.

PETERSBURG, January l4.--At a
special meeting Of the Council tonight
the Finance Committee were instructed
to cooperate with the eity's retained
lawyers in investigating all the facts
relative to the bill before the Legisla-
ture to extend the charter Of the Vir-
ginia and Carolina railroad and to act
for the best interests Of the city in the
premises. The unanimous sentiment
of the Council is that unless it can be
shown that the city's interest will be
advanced by the proposed extension
every lawful effort should be made to
defeat the extension. The opinion was
expressed that the officers Of the road
in asking for this extension, after their
former representations to the Council
and our people, were guilty of gross
discourtesy in not first making their in
tentions and desires known here.

sad work Of the storm sliah Tide-Ireuses
Flooded and stock Drowned Marrow Escape
OF BOY.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatchl
0NANcoCK, Jan. IL, 1856.
Persons arriving here lsst night from
the extreme northeastern part Of Acco-
mack report great dana 70 in Messongo
and Cat-Tail necks by the recent stormy
weather and the conseq lent high tides.
The storm appears to hsve been ticrcest
in that section, which is very low and
fat and threaded by broad saltwater
creeks, or estuaries, running in from
the Chesapeake bay. The severe western
wind drove the water up these estua-
ries ard piled it up till the whole re-
gion was inundated. Many people
fed, shivering and terror-stricken, from
their houses to places Of greater Sc
curity, while others took refuge in the
upper stories, knocking of the weather
boarding below to prevent the water
from sweeping the houses away. Sew
eral merchants had all their goods
ruined, and nearly all the fowls, hogs,
and small cattle in that region per-
ished.
A man named Hall, who happened to
be IN an oyster watch-house when the
storm came, finding himself cut off by
the rising waters, dashed himself to a
beam of the house and was drowned.
All the small shipping in these
waters was badly damaged, and a
schooner of 100 tons burden, belonging
to Captain Somers, was lifted by the
tide and carried several hundred yards
into a cultivated field, where it was
landed high and dry.
When the waters receded the entire
region presented desOlate appearance,
being strewn with debris and dead ami
mails. This is said to have been the
highest tide that has ever occurred here
within the memory Of living men. The
tide at 0nancock and at other places
on the bay-side was very high, but
nothing like that which swept over
northeastern Accomack. Many Of the
people who suffered from the inunda-
ton were poor fishermen and oyster
men, and are in deplorable condition.
A colored man living on Judge Gar
rison's farm, on Folly creek, had his
stables burned last night, losing all his
corn, fodder. and farming utensils.
The fire was the work Of an incendiary.
A stable was destroyed in the same
way on Judge Garrison's farm last win
ter.
The weather continues very cold and
navigation is suspended, Onancock
creek being frozen over from shore to
shore. The steamer Tangier, which
plies between here and Baltimore, is
now lying ice-bound in Pocomoke
sound.
This morning while some small boys
were skating on Onancock creek, just
below this town, where the stream is
fully a half mile wide, one Of them
broke through the ice aud went under
but his comrades rushed to the rescue,
and by exercising great bravery and
presence of mind saved him from what
at one time appeared certain death.

Sad Ending OF u wedding Tour.

lBy Telegraph 10 tne Dlspatcn.l
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, January
l4.--About four weeks ago Robert
II. Small, third auditor of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, was married to
a young lady Of Coyington, and came
to Florida on a wedding tour. After
stopping in Jacksonville a few days
they went to Palatka, when Small be-
gan to exhibit symptoms OF mental
alteration. Last week he disappeared
from the hotel and did not return until
the next day, having spent the night
some distance from town with farmer,
leaving his young wife in an agony
Of fear. On Tuesday he started for a
sail on the river, but his boat capsized.
Returning to his hotel he changed his
clothing and again went out on the river
in boat, after which he was not seen
until i o'clock this morning, when his
body was found on the river bank with
his head resting on his overcoat. There
were no signs of violence, and the ply
sicisns decided that he died frum expo
sure. His body has been embalmed,
and reached this city tonight en- route
for Baltimore, accompanied by Mrs.
Small.

tBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l
CLEVELAND, o., January H.
There is imminent danger Of water
famine here. For two or throe days q
large quantity OF. needle-ice has been
drawn into the tunnel leading from the
lake crib to the pumping-station.
There are four pumps, with a combined
daily capacity Of 10000, 900 gallons.
Last night one pump stopped, and an.
other stepped this morning, because OF
the ice. The two remaining pumps
were kept at work at intervals during
the afternoon, but were shut down
this evening, the supply Of water
having been cut off entirely.
The cause of the stoppage. as
given by the water-works officials, is
that the stand-pipe, which leads into
the tunnel out at the crib, and not the
tunnel itself, is choked with ice. The
top Of this stand-pipe is several feet be-
low the surface Of the lake and IL COW
cred with a crate to prevent the en-
trance of driftwood aud other obstruc-
tons. Fine ice is, however, sucked
through the grating and has been SOL
idly packed into the pipe by the force
of the water. Five men have been at
work all day trying to dislodge the
distractions, but thus far without
avail. The task is difficult
one for the reason that it requires
the services of q diver. There is
but a small amount Of water in the
reservoirs, and the supply is practically
exhausted. The west and south sides
are without water, and this is the case
with the east side except on the streets
along the direct mains from the reser-
voir. People who have wells are using
water therefrom, and those who are
fortunate enough to possess q cistern
drink rain-wate Others are COM
PEELED to melt snow. Manufacturing
establishments that depended on the
city water for their boilers were shut
down, and tonight water is being
hauled from the river and lake to
supply establishments that must run
at night. The city is in a perilous po-
sition should fire break out. In the
business part Of the city the depart
ment could do nothing with it. They
could get no water, and the only appa-
ratus that could be called into service
would be two or three chemical en-
gines. At IL o'clock tonight the
water.wOrks officials had given up all
hope OF removing the Toe from the
staDd.pipe before tomorrow. Tho pipe
is 90 feet in height and 9 feet in diane
ter, and is packed full of ice. IL may
be necessary to wait until the weather
becomes warmer and the Ice thaws, Tor
! !: Seems almost an impOssibilty to re-
move the distractions.

An Explanation tn Relation 20 the
spanish Mission.


spanish Mission.
lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.I
WASHINGTON, January l4.-In the
Senate to-day Mr. Allison desired to
correct an error Of statement occurring
in the Kelley correspondence, printed
copy Of which had been placed before the
Senate. He disclaimed any intention to
criticise the Secretary Of State, in
whose letter the error occurred that
the Secretary had no doubt been erro-
neously informed by q subordinate. As
matter Of justice, however, to dis
tinguished citizen Of Iowa, the facts
should be made known. The statement
was to the effect that when Mr.. Rasson
had been nominated to the Spanish
mission be was objecsed to by the
Government Of Spain. Mr.. Allison,
upon the very best authority, charac-
terized that statement IS wholly erro-
neous. No objection, he said, had
been made by Spain to the appoint
ment Of Mr. Kasson. The impression
that the Spanish Government had OBJ
ected was derived from newspaper hints
made at the time and not from any
statement made by any official Of the
Spanish Government. After the APP
pointment of Kasson to Madrid, Mr..
Allison continued, the then Secretary
of State (Eyarts) asked him (Allison)
whether Kasson would prefer the Aus
TRAN mission, to which Mr.. Allison re-
piled that be had no doubt be would.
Mr.. Allison sent to the desk and had
the Clerk read q letter dated Janu-
arv 6, 1886, from Evarts to kasson,
stating that no question was ever raised
as to Kasson's acceptability to the
Spanish Government. The appoint
ment for Madrid" the letter continues,
"as originally proposed by me was
changed upon your preference to
Vienna, and for reasons having no con-
nection whatever with or knowledge OF
either Government"
Mr.. Vest was glad to hear the exact
facts. The original statement, if a
misapprehension, was misapprehen-
sion very general throughout the coun-
try. He (Mr. Vest had seen the state
ment in the press, and Kasson's want
Of acceptability to Spain had been I'M
dcrstood to grow out Of the views ex-
pressed by him regarding the relations
Of Spain and Cuba, not out of any
thing rejecting on Mr.. Kasson's per-
sonal character.
Mr.. Evarts said that when Secretary
of State he had offered the Spanish mis-
sion to Mr.. Kasson by authority Of the
President. Another gentleman Mr..
Lowell) who had been offered the Aus
trian mission had shown a disposition
to find motive suitable to his literary
tastes and pursuits to undertake the
Spanish mission. That gentleman de-
Ginning the Austrian mission, Mr.. Evarts
was able to present to Mr.. Kasson the
choice Of the Austrian mission, which
was one higher in grade, cmoluments,
and rank. Mr.. Kasson had chosen the
Austrian mission and the other gentle
man took the Spanish mission.
The matter was then dropped.

The President and the Senate


WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE
statement that President Cleveland has
determined that no answer shall be
given to the request from the Senate
for information as to reasons for re-
movals or suspensions from Office is
authoritatiyely denied. No such request
has yet been addressed to the President
by the Senate. Several communica-
tons were sent to the chairmen Of the
Senate committees from the various
executive departments in response to re-
quests for information as to the reason for
suspensions, or removals, and appoint
ments. In each case it was stated that
the Department had no information as
to the Presidents reasons for the suS-
pension or remov al which was the sub
ject of inquiry. The papers trans
mitted relate solely to the fitness Of
appointees, and say nothing about the
character or qualifications of the Off
Gals displaced. No issue has yet been
raised with the President on this sub
iect. 1t is further learned that the
President as yet has neither expressed
nor formed any determination as to
what he will do in case possible issue
is raised.
