De1Ore QaQ Wreck tuaL WAS at oil Serl
Gus, the worst being that near Savan.
nah last spring, did everything they
could for the convenience of the pas
sengers, and were quick to get to work
to clear the wreckage.
Mr.. LINES spent his last night on
earth at the Grand Central hotel in
this city. Mr.. Ulmer has family
living in Michigan.
The fire was started by the overturn
ing of the stoves. Train IS had come
through from Charlotte and there was
coal fire in each stove. Had train 81
not come from the south, it would
likely have had fires in its stoves also
and no doubt would have been burned
Otherwise this train was broken up as
badly perhaps as the other.
The authorities of the Southern road
at this end of the line did all III their
power TO render assistance and several
of their men went to the scene OF the
wreck in charge of the specials.
Considering all the features TO the
wreck, the lives lost, the manner in
| which they were lost, the destruction
of the two finest locomotives of the
system, and the other property de
stroyed, it may be said to be the wors
occullng in this State in many years
Railroad Commissioner Thomas
made careful survey OF the scene o
the wreck, questioned the leading
witnesses and examined what papers
he could locate fully. While return
ing to the city last evening he said tc
me: You may say I consider this
wreck the result of carelessness and
that the railroad commissioners will
thoroughly investigate the matter and
punish the guilty parties to the extent
of the law. State.

The telegraph wire wss tapped near
the wreck and an instrument put in,
an open air Office being established, the
operator using one of the water cool
ers saved for a chair.
The authorities did splendid work in
clearing and relaying the tracks and
by last night everything was in readi-
ness for the running Of trains as usual
By transfers there was no interruption
whatever to travel. The engineers
and Conductor Taylor, together with
all the others not referred 10 above
went on to Savannah on special.
The wreck took place about two
miles south of Swansea, and many OF
Swansea's people hastened to the scene
to give assistance. The people were
first awakened by the crash. Soon
afterwards Conductor Perkuson arriv,
ed on foot and told the story. lie
hastened to Mr.. w. 3. Rast's residence
and sent DR.. Lapgford to the scene.
then he reported the wreck officially
and hastened back. Conductor Perk-
uson did not seem to mind his sprain-
ed knee while thus engaged.
About the scene Of the wreck wan
dered many chickens, which had been
in coops in the express cars. OF
course great many of them were cre-
mated.
The engines are badly damaged.
They are worth probably about $S. 900
each. The rear and front portions of
each are practically ruined, the cabs
and apparatus around the fireboxes
being entirely torn away. The front
portions of each are badly torn up.
The driving wheels are sound. There
is no vestiege of the pilots left; the
! wrecked headlights rest on the stack

The last definite news of Captain
General Weyler located him at Oleyea,
within "a few miles of Maceo's entrench-

The dispatch adds:
THE insurgent forces are we'll 10.
Gated in the hills. and are pouring a
hot fire into the Spanish troops. which
have repeatedly been driven back in
attempts to capture the Cuban strong
hold. The insurgents have the ad'
vantage of position, being at great
elevation, but the Spaniards are max
ing a most desperate attack.
From distance, it looks as if sew
eral towns are in flames. The sky is
lighted up by the constant fire OF ar
tillery. Whether or not Maceo himself
is directing the insurgents tactics can
not at this time be learned

weyler Warned by His Government to
he More Energetic.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is learned
here on authority that the Spanish gov
ernment has given General Weyler to
understand that he must push his op-
erations against the insurgents aggres.
sively and vigorously. Unless he soon
achieves decisive victory over the Gu
bans, it is believed he will be recalled
General Weyler, it is understood,
aware of the alternative. and his pres.
ent campaign in Pinar del Rio is ex.
~pected to result in an engagement that
will put new aspect Oh the Cuban si+-
uation one way or the other. The cam.
paign, therefore, has become to him
personal matter, and with the knowl.
edge that his
Irestige and Rank Are at stake,
the Havana cables are being watched
with interest for news of more impOr-
tant battles than the skirmishes and
guerilla fighting, that thus far have
come by way of them. General Wey.
ler has all the troops that he ran use
There are over 2OO,0 ,000 Spanish soldiers

the field in person is over $4,000 men.
Maceo, against whom he is row oper.
ating, has under him. it is estimated,
about 200. Spain having fulfilled all
of General Weyler's wishes as to troops
now expects results from him. Consul
General Lee has acquainted the ad-
ministration with these facts and the
president is at present simply awaiting
events and will shape his course by the
developments.
1t is the hope of General Weyler that
he will be able to score a decided vic.
tory before the assembling of congress
Dec. I. Spain fears adverse action by
that body soon after it meets. and has
urged General Weyler to demonstrate
his ability to crush the rebellion within
the next two weeks if possible

In regard to the negotiations be-
tween Russia and Germany from 1915
to 1890, it was agreed at the time thai
absolute secrecy should be observed
The point of time when this obligation
ceased cannot, in consequence, be de

| moment, am not in position TO give
Official information concerning the re
snlt of those negotiations then.
| LAS regards the tendency Of German
| policy towards Russia, since the sprinf
of 1890, it is equally impossible to Civ,
an exhaustive reply so long as that obi
CATION continues. and leave it to tn
foreign secretary, who took part in tn
deliberations. to say what can be salt
in that respect.
| After a careful examination of tn
available material, | cannot help recog
nizing as full of weight the motive
which governed German policy, and
at the same time, | can expires
the conviction that no unfavor

with Russia has made itself felt. TIL
assertion that at that time British, OF
