PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. IA. Early

train collided with the engine of To-
cal freight which was standing on Ma
honing bridge, So miles north of Pitts
burgh, on the Allegheny Valley rail
way. The local engine was knocked

river GO feet below. The boiler of the
wrecked engine exploded, setting FIRE
to the bridge and several freight cars,
which were destroyed. No one was

concussion which shook the vicinity

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Mr. Wiltze, a col.
league OF John Hays Hammond, the

arrested in Johannesburg on charges
of treason, informed the United
Press Tuesday morning that
no Californians were arrest

Hammond had 20 Californians work.
ing for him. j. s. Curtis and T. II.
King, the other Americans arrested,
are from the eastern part of the
United States. Mr.. Wiltze,. who has
just arrived here from the Trans
vaal, says that the lives and prop
erty of the Americans in Johannes
burg are in no danger The Americ-
ans who were arrested. ne said, did n Ut
belong to the Reform Union and never
took part in politics
The Washington government, he de-
clared, should make strong protest
against the arrest of Americans.
The English government has too
many com plications on It's hands and
is not able to take as strong stand as
the United States could take. The
Transvaal government has always
been friendly to the United States and
would give the fullest consideration to
any direct protest the American gov
ernment might make.

OF the new flying squadron, were put

stroyers were put into commission

venge, the flagship of the squadron,
which will be commanded by Rear
Admiral Alfred I. Dale. Two thou
sand men, including marine artillery,
will be distributed among the ships of
the squadron.
