Hounded by Spies and Homes Searched
on Slightest Pretext.
Three Men, One of Whom Claims to
be an American Citizen, Who
Were in Party En- Route to Join
the Insurgents Captured by Span
iardS, Promptly rt-MartiaIed
and Ordered to be Shot.

KEY WEST (Fla.) Aug. 1O-Advices
received from Havana state that the
Spanish authorities are making life un-
bearable for Americans on the island.
They are bounded by Spanish spies and
their home searched on the slightest
pretext.
The latest outrage was committed last
Thursday in the city of Puerto Principe,
when the residences of several Ameri-
cans We're searched by Spanish soldiers.
The soldiers claimed to be in quest of
arms and compromising documents.
The search was conducted in the most
brutal manner, furniture being Destroy
ed, and the contents of trunks and
wardrobes being scattered. Nothing of
an discriminating nature was found,
save in a room occupied by a Cuban
woman servant and her two little girls.
The mother had a revolver and the
little girls had correspondence ad-
dressed to the chiefs of the Cuban
Government at Cubitas. The mother
and girls were hurried off to prison
as spies and Weyler has ordered them
courtmartialed.
Recently many young men have been
leaving Puerto Principe to join the in
surgents. The last party to leave was
discovered by Spaniards, and three of
them, Alfred Adam, Miguel Nunez and
Augustine Torres, were captured. They
were promptly court -martialed and SEN
fenced to be shot. Torres claims to be
an American citizen, and at his trial
protested against the summary methods
of the Spaniards. His protest was un-
needed. and he will be executed unless
the United States interferes.

Six Persons Killed and Sixty-Two
Others Injured.
The Car Became Unmanageable on a
Steep Grade and on Reaching a
Curve at the Bottom, Jumped the
Track, Shot Across the Turn
pike for One Hundred Yards,
Crashed Into a Train, Then Falling
Into Ditch Twenty Feet Deep.

LANCASTER Pa), Aug. 10-The
accident on the Columbia and donegal
electric road last night provesttq have
been more serious than was at th'rst re-
ported. 1t is the worst acciddnt that
has occurred in this county fo(r many
years. Up to this morning six persons
were dead and sixty-two injureh Some
of the injured are in an extremely criti-
cal condition and may die.
Just how the accident happened can
not yet be told, for the motorman is
dead. All that is known is that the car
IAN away on steep grade and jumped
the track. One story is that the brakes
broke, but this has not been confirmed
The stories told by the passengers dis
agree very widely.
Chicllies Park, few miles beyond
Columbia, is a favorite resort. espe-
clally in hot weather Yesterday the
weather was exceedingly warm and the
park was correspondingly crowded up
TO a late hour. The car in which the
accident happened was the first to leave
the park after the concert wa4 ended.
1t was big closed car and wa7 packed
to its utmost capacity.
Everything went we'll until the car
was within a short distance of Column
hia. There is a sharp descent on the
line at this point, with curve at the
bottom. AS the car began to descend
the passengers noticed that it was run
nlng at a perilouS rate. and il was soon
evident that the motorman could not
control it.
Some of the passengers say that the
motorman attempted to check the
speed of the car when it first started on
the down grade, but that the brakes
refused to work and that he was pow
erless; but others accuse him of reck-
lessness, saying that he was trying to
make speed and did not try to check
the car until it had gained such a mo-
aentum t'eat he could ~ nothing
The car held the tracks until the
curve at the bottom of the road was
reached. Then it jumped the tracks
shot across the turnpike for about 100
yards, crushed into a train standing
there and then fell into a ditch twenty
feet deep.
A few of the passengers jumped when
the car was making its rush across the
roadway, and all received injuries more
OF less serious. Hardly one of those in
the car escaped without being badly
hurt. The car itself was badly wrecked.
AS soon as possible after the accident
assistance was sent to the scene Three
persons We're taken out of the wreck
dead. Adam Farlinger, the motorman,
and two others OF the injured three
were so badly crushed that they died
soon after being taken out.

HAMILTON (Ont.). Aug. 10.-Follow-

the merchants and local banks here
have decided to refuse to accept Amer
ican silver and silver certificates. For
years American bills and currency have
been accepted at par by the merchants
United States silver or certificates will
not be accepted in payment of city
taxes. This action is not due entirely to
the silver agitation in the United States,
but to the fact that there is now too
much American silver in circulation.

DOLLAR BILLS.
They Will be Taken in Canada Only for
Ninety Cents.

TORONTO, Aug. 10.-A combined eff
fort is about to be made by city banks
to decrease circulation of American bills
in this city. AT present the city is
flooded with American silver certifi-
Gates. The following notice was posted
in the Standard Bank to-day:
ION and after Saturday, August 18TH
American 81 bills will only be received

1t is understood that other banks will
follow the example of the Standard
Bank. This action will probably result
in a much decreased circulation of
American bills in this city. In regard
to the American silver most of the city
banks are not accepting it at all. Some
will accept American silver only from
customers, but only in small amounts
