Sugar Imports

BOSTON. March 1e.-The Wholesale
sugar market in thss-city has entered
upon an interesting phase. In anticlpa-
ton Of the new tariff bill which is ex-
pected to go into effect on May 1st, the
sugar importers are actively engaged in
buying up all available sugar. both in
the markets of Germany and Cuba, for
prompt shipment to this country in an
effort to get the commodity into the
market without paying the government
the new tariff.
The comparatively small sugar outpu!
Of Cuba has made it necessary to depend
largely on Java and Germany for the
product and large percentage of the
article imported here during the past
year has come from these two countries
There is now stored in Hamburg alone
for shipment to this country more thar
$4,000 tons of raw sugar and steamers
are being sent for it as rapidly as they
can be chartered and loaded
Four large steamers are now due here
from Hamburg and six large vessels
from West Indian ports.

Esll Twelve storle. and Live.

1t Is not every man who, in his old Re
can tell his admirfng friends that ON one
occasion he fell twelve floors in one of
New Yorks big buildings and had suf-
fered no greater injury than a broken
rib and a slight cut on the head
II James Waters is as lucky always as
he was Tuesday he will live to be old
enough to tell this story with some EN-.
bellishments which the lapse of years
will make necessary.
He took this big fall Tuesday, and
when he landed In the basement, more
than 100 feet below where his fall be !.
gan, he was so slightly hurt that he
raised himself to his feet and wanted to
walk to the ambulance.
Waters Is a plasterer's assistant. and
for some time has been employed in the
Commercial cable building, which Is sooa
to rear its height of sixteen stories. He
Is an athletic fellow, as supple and as
muscular In his thirty-second year as he
was dosen years ago.
1t Is part OF his duty to take from a
temporary hoist which runs through
the building the bags Of lime with which
the plaster Is mixed on the floor where
the plasterers are at work. This is now
the eleventh floor. and there Waters was
on the hoist, tossing off the bags Of lime
Twelve stories below, in the basement,
was another man who watched the
hoist. and all around him were scattere 1
bags OF lime which he was to send alofs
When the man above has taken off all
the lime he let's the man below know Il,
in time for the hoist to descend, by Pc
culiar whistle.
Long before Waters was ready the
man below thought he heard the
whistle, and he started the hoist on its
downward course at very rapid rate

hoist fell from beneath Waters feet
As he tried to clutch at a beam in his
fall he swung himself outside of the
path of the hoist. With a yell he went
crashing down among the beams. lad

he struck, and they lcssened the force Of

His comrades shouted in alarm as he
fell, and those working on the basement
ran to his side, expecting to find him
dead He wasn't, though, and as they
reached him he raised himself to his
feet.
An ambulance was called. and the sur

disastrously for that establishment and

times. but the firemen finally confined
the flames to the mill and cooperage
shop. The fire originated from a defect

NEW YORK, March ia Havana
special to the World says: Through
Cubans here II is learned that train
carrying Spanish troops was blown up
by dynamite while passing over deep
gorge south of Candelaria, Pinar del
Rio province. and nearly 25o soldiers
were killed or injured. The locomotive
ara six cars were demolished. The
tragedy occurred about the 10th inst.
The Spanish General Arial had
learned Of projected insurgent attack,
supposedly in San Cristobal, and he sent
off 800 troops in armored cars to rein
force the garrison there. About ten
miles from San Cristobal the road
crossed a deep gorge on a very high
bridge about 500 feet long.
The insurgents learning of the depar-
ture of the train. lined the bridge at
both ends and center with heavy charges
of dynamite, connecting the explosive
by wires with a battery in the woods. The
insurgents lay in ambush near by. 1t
Is understood the Minse brothers were
in command and that Captain John
Lynn, the young American electrical en-
gineer. who has made himself famous in
Cuba by his work with the dynamite
gun, contrived the affair.
The train approached the bridge abou.
three o'clock in the morning. When full
ly on It, all of the charges were exploded,
the engine and cars flew into the air
like so many chips and fell ihto the deep
gorge below, crushing dead and injured
alike The ~reckase caught fire. AS
soon as the explosion occurred the in
surgents dashed from their ambuscade
with wild cry and began to massacre.
But for the timely hoisting of a white
flag by Col. Mors. who was in COM
mand of the Spanish forces. every man
