Jack Stelling's Horse.

Senator Northrup was out driving
with Jack Sizzling yesterday behind
Billy Button The Senator was we'll
pleased with the result, which, accord
ing to his Waterbury, was 2:15 around
the track. The Senator believes that if
Stelling continues driving along the
Waikiki road at night, and has his
Chlnaman double the thickness Of the
leg bahdages, he may get the time down
low enough 10 enter Button for the June
races. This, of course, is only Senator
Northrup's opinion. Sizzling believes he
has sure winner if he can get the
lameness out of the horse; but as he
goes lame only in one gait he don t
know which TO treat first, the gait or
the lameness.

Australia Held Up.

Two young men in a canoe were sight
ed by the Australia as she was round
ing Diamond Head yesterday afternoon.
From the dissheveled condition of their
respective heads of hair, Captain HOud-
lette must have smelled danger, for the
whistles were blown and the Australia
came almost to a dead stop. 1t was then
that the young men disappeared from
their canoe, and after swimming about
got in again and pulled for the shore.
1t is said that Captain Houdlette tore
off all the slips on his calendar from
April 1St to 10th.

cREEs cRoSS THE BORDER.
Redskins From British Columbia Running
off Cattle and Destroying Farm
Houses.

OMAHA, NEBR., May 26.-Advices re-
ceived here to-day are to the effect that the
Cree Indians, natives of British Columbia,
have crossed the border into Montana and
North Dakota on their hunting trips and
are running off cattle and destroying farm
houses. No cases of bloodshed have oc-
Cured, but the settlers are greatly stirred
up and have called on the Government for
protection. Troops B and E OF the Tenth
Cavalry, located at Fort Custer, Mont,
have been ordered to prepare for active
service and will be used to force the ma
rauding redskins to leave the country.
All leaves of absence to the officers have
been cancelled and instructions have been
issued to absentees to Immediately report
for active service. Information has not
yet been given out from army headquar-
ters here as to when marching orders will
be given.

BATTLES WITH INSURGENTS.
When Not Killing Innocent People Spanish
Soldiers Do a Little Forced
FiqhHnq.

HAVANA, CUBA, May 26.-Seventeen
hundred troops under General Suarez
Valdez, who left Consolation del Sur yes
terday, had fierce engagement with a
large rebel force under Maceo and Perico
Diaz, which was occupying the hills of
Decanso. After five hours fighting the
position of the insurgents was captured.
The rebel loss is said to be thirty-nine
killed, including Major Naranio and two
strangers. The Spaniards had twenty
seven wounded, including General Valdez.
The rebe, band under Mirabel attacked
the town of Tapaste, province of Havana,
and burned nineteen houses on the out
skirts. The gunboat Lealtad has captured
three boats that were abandoned on the
coast near Sagua la Grande.
The Spaniards are elated by the decision
of the United States Supreme Court in the
case of the flibustering steamer Rorsa.
Colonel Landa, operating around Quivi-
can, this province, has killed nine
"Pacificos" during the last ten DAYS.
All belonged to the farming class and
were not insurgents. 1t is said that thirty
eight quiet people have been killed in that
vicinity within week.
Major Lopez, of the battalion Isabella
Cotilica in operation around San Antonio
las Vegas, Havana province. between the
18th and 20th of this month killed sixteen
Pacifcos. These men were taken from the
fields and from their houses and killed
with macnetes.

down be jumped and dived. Coming up
and catching bridge timber he saw a
lady rise near him and seized her. She
was a Victoria woman who had accom-
panied himself and wife. Then he saw
his wife's cloak appear upon the water.
He called to a man to save her, and not in
vain, for the man swan to Mrs. Fosters
rescue and bore her to the land.
Superintendent ]. Wilson of the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad Telegraphs was driv-
ing carriage containing his wife and five
children directly behind the Inflated car.
His vehicle was swept down and in a mo-
ment the entire family were struggling in
the water. With rare presence of mind
Mr.. Wilson succeeded in saving his wife
and four of the children. The fifth child,
little boy, was wedged beneath some
wreckage and drowned.
Since early morning Victoria had been
flied with visitors and pleasure-seekers
hailing from nearly every section of the
Pacific Northwest and the list of dead in
cludes many from outside British Column
bia points and the States of Washington
and Oregon.
From every part of the Northwest tele-
grams inquiring as to the safety of friends
and relatives came pouring into Victoria
from anxious ones at home. Those of the
visitors who were fortunate enough to es-
cape death with disaster were correspond
ingly busy sending out cheering words of
their safety and welfare.
The Point Ellice bridge was built about
ten years ago by the Ranfran Bridge Com
pany. 1t was partially of iron, with hol-
low piers. filed with concrete, and had a
plank flooring. 1t is said that two years
ago the bridge was condemned by officials.
Four years ago, on the occasion of for
mer Queens birthday celebration, street
car filed with people in passing over it
partially broke through, but there was no
serious injury or fatality.
1t was about 800 feet long and ran across
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-05-27

al the passengers save few who were on
the platform and roof were drowned. A
number were killed by falling timbers and
few escaped by clinging to the floating
ruins OF the bridge. The car was buried
under twenty-five feet of water, and doz-
ems of men, women and children were
pinned under the wreckage, unable to
strive for life.
On the surface of Victoria Arm, strug-
cling people fought to gain the shore.
Strong men and fral women battled for
their lives. Husbands emerged from the
wreckage, only to find that their wives
had gone down to death. Children were
carried down by those who were stronger,
and fathers also had struggled from be-
meath the timbers ana debris of bridge
and car and carriages returned TO their
doom in vain endeayor to rescue their
babes. The waters of the Arm for yards
around were dyed red with blood, and
floating out to sea went corpse after corpse
borne on by the tide.
The shrieks of men, the screams OF
women and children filled the air and
nerved the crowds of rescuers on to feats
that endangered life and limb.
The number of carriages lost and the
foot-passengers carried down in the wreck
cannot be learned. 1t is claimed by many
that fully 200 persons went down with the
span and that more than half of them
perished. The accident occurred SO
quickly that nobody has a very clear
recollection of what transpired.
The work of rescue was inaugurated
with all possible haste and over thirty
bodies were recovered by O'Clock. They
were carried to Captain Grants garden
lawn, where they were cared for by willing
hands. In several cases persons seem
ingly dead were resuscitated, and the wall
