Captures the Trocha.
New Orleans, Oct. 3.-The Times
Democrat's+Key West special says: Ad-
vices received here from Havana state
that Antonio Maceo in recent attack
on the trocha inflicted terrible losses
on the Spaniards, more than 1000 being
killed and wounded. The attack was
made at night and was carefully
planned. The fighting was general all
along the line, but was fercest near
Artemisa, where Antonio Maceo led a
picked force of insurgents against the
Spanish column commanded by Gen.
Aralas. The Spaniards were taken COM
pletely by surprise. They were aroused
from sleep to find hail of insurgent
bullets falling upon them. Gen. Aralas
and his staff, half clad, rushed from
their headquarters and tried to rally
the Spanish troops, who were panic
stricken by the insurgents attack. It
was half an hour before even a SEM
blance of order could be restored to the
Spanish column, and during that time
the troops remained huddled together,
an easy mark for the bullets of the
Cubans. 1t was during this period of
the panic that so many of the Spanish
troops were killed.
1t is said many Spanish officers were
killed and that Gen. Aralas himself was
slightly injured. After Gen. Aralas sue
ceeded in rallying his men he made a re-
treat and the Spaniards fell back four
miles or more, leaving the trocha in
the hands of the insurgents. Antonio
Maceo did not pursue the Spaniards, but
held possession of Artemisa until morn
ing, when he retreated to his strong
hold. Before the insurgents retreated
they demolished the section of the
trocha near Artemisa, blowing up the
Notifications with dynamite.
The attack ragged from Bahia Honda
on the north to Makanda on the south,
and at all points the strong line was de-
molished. Maceo could easily have
crossed with his entire force, but it
seems that he had not such purpose in
view. His object was simply to de-
lnolish the trocha so that it could not
impede his eastward march when he
desires to advance to meet Gomez.

AN ILL-FATED TRAIN.
Locomotive Boiler Explotios- Seven Per-
sons Are Killed.

&ss& SONS Are Killed. go s5ts HI
Usage City, Kan, Oct. 5.-A frightful
railroad wreck, attended by serious loss
of life, and made more terrible by the
self-murder of one of the passengers,
occurred at five O'clock Sunday morning
on the Santa Fe road, two miles north
Of this station. Seven bodies have been
recovered from the wreck, and It is
feared other victims are buried beneath
the debris. The wrecked train was the
cast-bound passenger No. 2, the SINE
that had such thrilling experience
with bandits in New Mexico on Friday
night last. The wreck was caused by
the explosion of the boiler of the loco
motive. The engineer should have
stopped for water at Usage City. but. be-
ing behind time, he endeavorcd to run
TO the next tank. Though it is not posi-
lively known, the engineer and fireman
having both met death in the wreck, it
is surmised that their neglect was the
cause of the disaster. The train lad
proceeded but two miles beyond this
place, about to the Peterson coal chutes,
when two terrific explosions were
heard, one following close upon the
other.
The locomotive was completely shat
tered. The express, baggage and Las
senger cars came crashing upon the
wrecked engine and the coaches that
were ahead were piled up in one hea;, of
wreckage. Those in the rear were all
derailed, but the passengers riding in
the rear escaped serious injury.
The wreck was marked by scenes of
the widest confusion among the ter
rifed passengers. The nerves of many
were at high pitch as result of their
experience with the road-agents OF. New
Mexico, and when the crash came the
first impression of nearly every one was
that the train had been attacked again
by robbers. One passenger, William
Becker, of Los Angeles, en- route to
Chicago, lost his reason entirely When
the crash came he drew single-barreled
pistol from his pocket, and, in the
presence of a car full of terrified passen.
gers, took his own life, sending bullet
into his brain. Becker had been drink
ing heavily. He was about IS years OF
age. Owing to the excitement and con-
fusion little could be done to rescue the
injured and remove the dead bodies until
the sun appeared. Seven bodies were
finally recovered. The dead are: Will
liam Becker, Los Angeles, Cal,; En-
gineer Strump, Topeka, Kan; Fireman
Harry HOLSTER, Topeka; William Nc
Adams, tramp, riding on baggage car
and supposed to be from Chillicothe, Ia;
three tramps, names unknown, all of
whom were riding on the baggage car.
Three persons were injured.

Killed.


A terrible accident occurred Satur-
day night, about 1880, near the ruins of
elevator A, in Minneapolis. At the
hour mentioned Michael Irving, John
Irving and Frank Dunsmore were at
work on side track of the Minneapo-
lis & ST. Louis railroad. The electric
lights had not yet been turned on, and
in consequence it was quite dark. An
M. & ST. l.. L. switch engine was work
ing around the yards, as is usual at
that time of night, and had occasion to
run down the track upon which the
three men were working. There be-
ing several tracks in the vicinity it is
almost impossible for one to tell in tn e
dark upon which track an engine or
! train might be, no matter how plainly
it might be heard. A cry from one of
the injured men, as the engine passed
the spot, reached the ears of the fire.
man and engineer, and in an instant
the switch engine was stopped and the
two men ran back to the place whence
the cry had came.
There a terrible sight met their gaze.
Michael Irving lay across one of the
rails, with both legs almost severed
from his body. John Irving, his
brother, and Frank Dunsmore, although
severely injured, were in a condition
that was not entirely helpless. The
former had received serious injuries
about the head, arm aud hip, while the
latter was injured about the head and
hip only.
