FILIBUSTERS ALARMED
IN DANGER OF BEING TRIED AND
HANGED FOR PIRACY.
Officers of the Steamer Three Friends
and Participants in the Alleged
Fight May BE Prosecuted.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Dec. PA dis
The developments in Cuban circles to-day
have been startling and the actors in the re-
cent sea fight who were on board the
Three Friends are badly frightened over the
gravity of the situation i'm which they have
been involved. They find themselves, in
stead of being in dangerous position as
filibusters to be in the unenviable position
of pirates, and the wisest Cuban heads have
been summoned in consulta ton. Assistant
Secretargof the Treasury Scott Wike was
at Key West investigating the matter. but
the absence of a district attorney at that
place made detention a farce
Mr. Wike stopped at Jacksonville yester-
day afternoon and censured the district at
torney there for having representative
at Key West. He arrived here this morn
ing and has been i'm consultation with the
collector of customs. This morning the
affair presented the following aspect: No
denial had been made Of the story by OFF,
Gals of the Three Friends. Their silence
was an admission. In that case Spain may
make requisition on this government for
the persons who were aboard and this gov
ernment has no alternative but their delv-
cry. Mr.. Wii<e is TO leave tomorrow on the
cutter fOfWdfu TOT heN vest. WNPfe the
fullest possible details of the serious situ-
alton will be obtained.
When the Olivette arrived this afternoon
Colonel Emilio Nunez, GARLIC and several
other Cubans. were on board. Captain
OF Bren of the Three Friends. also was a
passenger. Colonel NuneZ admitted the
story OF the engagement was true and APP
peared particularly proud. He had been
the custodian of all the recent expeditions.
When they learned of Assistant Secretary
Wilkes presence the boasting changed to
CONSERVATION as the light in which they
were regarded dawned upon them. Nunez
and his companions came TO Tampa to con-
suit with leading Cubans. They left for
Jacksonville tonight. where they go to
confer with the owners of the Three
Friends.
The admission by Colonel Nunez and the
nondeniaI of o Brien is regarded as sub
stantiating the story of the fight Other
passengers besides Nunez confirm the
story. 1t is also learned that the arms of
Francis Lynde Stetson, President Cleve-
| lands former law partner, was at Port
| Tampa to-day. When this was learned ii
was said that he had been sent as a special
| to increase the fright of the Cubans. The
| Three Friends left Key West to-day for
Jacksonville.

MANY CORPsEs BURNED.
Reports Received at Headquarters of
the Railway Company.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 21.-Reports TO
Superintendent of Transportation George
Evans. of the Louisville q Nashville Rail-
way, indicate that the fatalities in to-day's
disaster near Birmingham. Ala, will num-
ber at least twenty-five. OF the total num-
ber of people-crew and passengers-on the
train but seven escaped and the number of
dead can only be conjectured. for no one
knows exactly how many people there were
on the train. The fact that the train was
destroyed by fire almost Immediately after
the accident and before wrecking trains
could reach the scene, also adds to the
uncertainty on this point as many bodies
were burned beyond recognition and some
may have been wholly destroyed.
The train was a small local passenger,
which. starting from Birmingham at 8 a.
M. runs to point near Guernee, then
goes over a connecting link of track con-
trolled by the Southern Railway and
known as the Brerfield, Blocton & Birm-
ingham road. The train returns TO the

and makes the return trip to Birmingham.

towns in that region. Between Guernee
and Blocton the tracks cross the Cahaba
river an unimportant stream which. ex-
cept in time of heavy rains, is quite shall
low. The bridge was about one hundred
feet high. with two hundred-foot span in
the middle and approaches several hundred
feet long. Into the bed of the Cahaba the
unfortunate passengers and crew were
plunged. That any one escaped with life
is marvellous. Almost Immediately the
train. which consisted Of an engine. a COM
bination baggage and express car and two
coaches. took fire, increasing the horror of
the calamity.
That any lives were saved is probably
due To the fact that the crash was heard

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-A special to the

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-Suffering from de-

Wasmansdorff a well-known banker of this
city, to-day fired a bullet into his brain and
died almost instantly. Banker Wasmans-
dorn killed himself in front hall bedroom.
at his home. on Cleveland avenue. at IL
o'clock this morning. His sons, William q.
and Otto, jr., who were in the parlor be-
nea th their fathers bedroom, heard the re-
port of the revolver and rushed upstairs.
Running into the room the horrified sons
Dehed their father lying on the bed dying,
a revolver lying at his side. He had shot
himself in the right temple, and a tiny
stream of blood was flowing down his
check. Everything in the room was in per-
feet order. The deed apparently .1ad Seen
deliberately planned.
Mr. Wasmansdorff was a member of the
private banking firm of Wasmansdorff q
Heinemann. which failed a week ago as a
result of the failure of the National Bank
of Illinois. The failure of his bank had
crushing effect Mr.. Wasmansdorff, and
also seriously affected his wife, who is i'll.
The banker for several days was unable
to eat or sleep. The criticism of unfortunate
depostors weighed him down and he was in
a constant troubled state of mind. This
morning the banker appeared brighter ana
less troubled in mind than any other
day since the financial crash that ruined
him. After breakfast with his family. with
whom he chatted pleasantly, he glanced
over the morning papers. He then engaged
in a froic with his little granddaughter
after which he retired to his room. Fiji
teen minutes later the fatal shot heard
by the two sons. The young men were
overcome with grief and said they never
had the slightest suspicion that their father
contemplated such an act. Mrs. Wasmans-
dorff was prostrated by the shock.
At the time of the failure the assets of
Mr.. Wasmansdorff's bank were given at
$3.50, 600 and the liabilities at $4l5,000 Mr..
Wasmansdorff had been a banker in this
city for more than a quarter of century.
