An Unexampled Horror ON a
Railroad in ROumania.
Fire in a First-Class Express
Train Carriage.

Eighteen of the Twenty Inmates Perish,
No Doubt Owing to the Peculiar Gus
tom in Vogue on All European Rail-
roads, That of Locking Passengers in
Their Compartm ents,
VIENNA, Feb. 10.-AdditionA particu-
lars of the railway disaster on the line
from Bucharest to Brakilov, Roumania
show it to have been scene of unex-
ampled horror. Twenty people, belong
ing to the better class of the community,
mostly merchants and others having in
terests at the port of Brakilov, occupied
a first-class carriage in the express train.
AS customary on all Europeon railroads,
they were locked in.
The interior of the carriage somehow
took fire while the train was speeding
along. The fire must have spread with
awful rapidity, for as soon as the cries
and screams of the imprisoned passen-
gers attracted attention, the flames
seemed to be bursting from the win
dows. The unfortunates shouted to
have the door of their frey furnace
opened, while at the same time they
struggled to break it open. But the
smoke and flames soon overcame them,
and when rescue came all were dead
but two, some having been burned to
death, and others suffocated.

GARZA'S CLAIMS.
He Writes a Letter to the Pres
ident of the United States,
Saying He Has Violated No
Neutrality Law.

Desirons of Having His Position and
Action Toward the United States Fully
Understood-The Letter Published in
Full in the Leading Spanish. Newspaper
of San Antonio.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb 10.--A sensa-
ton was created here Monday by the
publication in Ell Chinaco, the leading
Spanish paper of this city, of letter
from Catarino E. Cara, the leader of
the Mexican revolution, addressed to the
president of the United States. 1t is
dated La Sievaetta Tamaulipas, Mex,
Jan. 81, 1899.
Garza in his preliminary remarks
to the editor of Ell Chinaco states that
he has sent letter to President Harrison,
but fears he will not receive it. AS
he desires to have his position and
action towards the United States fully
understood, he sends copy to Ell China
co for publication The latter is for the
most part an attack on the Mexican
government and particularly President
Diaz. He offers strong objection to
being charged with having violated the
neutrality laws, and defends his action
as follows:
"Being a resident of Texas when de-
cided to raise the banner of insurrection
in my beloved country, Mexico, it would
be natural, logical and inevitable that [
should travel through the United States
territory in order to reach Mexico. That
has nothing to do with the so-called
neutrality laws; but suppose that had
effected march at that time in the di-
rection or towards Mexican territory
with two or more Of my countrymen,
does that constitute an offense against
the laws? | don't believe it does, be-
cause l know the basis of the wise and
liberal constitution of your country"
Garza continues in this strain through
out his whole letter. He gives no news
concerning the progress of the move
ment of which he is at the head.

Kentucky Mountaineer Creates Some
Excitement at Pineyille.

PINEvIILE, KY, Feb. 10.-The Feb
ruary term of the circuit or criminal
court opened here Monday and the town
is full of mountaineers, many of whom
are to answer for murder and shooting
scrapes committed in the palmy days be-
fore the law began to make itself felt in
this section of the mountains.
An exciting scene, which brought
back to memory the court days of years
ago, occurred during the day. A your g
lad named Speed, farmer who halls
from the hcadwaters of Sinking creek,
this county, rode into this town
and after the style of the western
cowboy, dashed through the court
house square, firing his 44-caliber re-
volver promiscuously.
Court was in session, and stampede
followed. The bad man dashed through
the streets, and in few minutes was
being chased by officers. A thrilling
race took place, and number of shots
were fired The terror was finally run
down and captured by Officer Bill Par
ton. He was drunk, and had forgotten
that Pineville had been civilized within
the past three years.
