CAP TURE OF
THE DAUNTLESS
The Famous FiIibuSter
OVerhauled by the
Marblehead.
Taken After a Most Exciting
Chase Among the Keys
of Florida.
Cargo of Men and Munitions of War
Intended for the insurgents in
Federal Custody.

KEY WEST, FLA, Nav 31-The famous
hlibustering steamer Dauntless was cap
tured to-day few miles south of Miami
by the cruiser MarbieheaG. The Daunt-
less was about to start for Cuba with men
and munitions. The Dauntless was
brought here with an officer ana crew OF
the Marbiehead in charge.
The steamer Biscayne, engaged to carry
guns and men from Miami to a place
where the Dauntless was anchored, was
seized near Miami, just as she was about
to start with seventy-tive Cubans aboard.
The Marblehead sighted the Daunt!ess
when the tug was far aheau. Seeing the
cruiser in pursuit, the tugs commander
tried to hide in one of the coves, bat
the cruiser chased her out. Then both
vessels crowded on all steam, the tug
going fourteen miles an hour and the
cruiser gaining slowly. The Dauntless
tried to cut through one of the small keys
where the water is too shallow for the
cruiser. The arblehead cleverly thwar;ed
this. The Dauntiess was then run down
after lengthy chase.
HAVANA, CUBA, May 31-The rivalry
between Weyler and other Spanish gen.
erals is growing more bitter. 1t is re-
ported that one of these generals has
been arrested by order of the captain ge n
eral. Secrecy Is so far maintained no
more details can be learned.
II is evident that Generals LuQue and
Segura are cordially hated by Weyler,
who made a report against them to the
Minister of War. Generals Nicolas del
Rey and Jimenez Sandoval are now on
the way to Spain and viii make charges
against ,Weyler. The captain-general is
accused of always stealing from them the
glory OF their achievements, holding them
responsible for all defeats.
The Spanish columns in Santa Clara
province are now suffering from hunger
on account of Weyler's orders to destroy
everything. The Cubans seized nearly all
the cattle and corraled them in we'll
guarded places for their own use. Gomez
has more than 5000 cattle on the estate La
Reforma, ana the Spaniards are unable to
pass the fortified lines established by
Gomez
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 31.-It is
said here that Special Com missioner Cal
houn will probably be appointed successor
to Consul General Lee at Havana. There
is no objection to Lee except that Calhoun
is man in whom the President has niue
confidence and who he knows Will work
in entire harmony with the administra-
ton. Lee was appointed by President
Cleveland and naturally is regarded as
not wholly in sympathy with the aims of
the Republican Executive.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 81. - The
American Protective Tariff League of the
Interior, of which Secretary OF the Inte-
rior Bliss is president, determined to-day
to urge the swift passage of the Republi-
can tariff bill. Bliss has been in New

Secretary Wakeman sent a request to
the Republican newspapers of all States
requesting them to publish this National
appeal:
tits estimated that the Government is losing
$3 900, 600 a week in revenue by the delay in
the passage of the tariff bill. The people are
losing ten times as much in work on account
of the delay. We earnestly ask every one of
our readers to Immediately write & postal to
at least one membe of the Senate demanding

OPENS COMPETITIONS GATEWAY
BUSINESS of the Oregon Short Line to Be
Secured by Otter Roads Than
the Union Pnc fc

OMAHA, NEBR., May 81 The opening
of The Eastern terminus of the Oregon
Short Line to the competition of railroads
other than the Union Pacific takes place
tomorrow, the rumors having received
confirmation, apparently. This move in
traffic alliances is of the utmost concern
TO the parent road, the Union Pacific.
Officials of the Union Pacific, though
plainly not relishlng the news, generally
admit it is correct. General Manager
Dickinson said. II cannot predict the
effect"
The opening of the Ogden gateway
means that other railroads will compete
for the business of the Short Line The
volume of business does not increase with
the number of roads, SO the natural effect
is smaller amount of business for each
road.
General Passenger Agent Francis of the
Burlington said: ITS good news for the

have been excluded IN the past"

RAILROAD CROSSING DISASTER.
Tram Dashes into Toily-Ho PIrty, KHI-
ing Two and hjgring An of
fhe Others,

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 31.-A tallo-
no carrying a happy party OF twenty-four
young people out for days fun was run
down this afternoon by a Long Island
railroad train. Four of the occupants
were killed outright, one died within a
few minutes, half a dozen were terribly
injured and nearly all the Others were
hurt.
The ride was arranged by the Alpha
Delta Club of Brooklyn, most OF the mem
bers of which are also members of the
Green-aYenue Baptish Church. The ac-
cident happened at Valley Stream, fifteen
miles from Brooklyn. The Mineola and
Valley Stream Branch leaves the railroad
there, shooting off to the north.
A quarter of a mile from the station the
Merrick road, the chief bicycle road on
Long Island, crosses the track st grade
On the three corners of this crossing the
wood is thick and it Is not possible for
persons travelling along the road to see a
train coming, nor is it possible for an en-
gineer TO see anything of the road until
the train is right upon il.
Though thousands of persons cross the
track daily the only thing to warn people
is the bell on the Look k-out-for-the- loco
motive" sign on post, which some lines
rings and sometimes does not. 1t is as
serted positively that the bell did not
ring to-day.
A big furniture van and several bicy-
clists had crossed the track just ahead
and waved frantic warnings to the tallv-ho
as it bore swiftly down upon the track
with it's laughing and chattering party.
The engine struck the coach almost ex-
actly in the center. 1t was torn loose
from the horses, and they went gaIloping
up the road, knocking the terror-stricken
bIcyclists who stood in the way right and
left. The body of the coach was showed
ahead of the engine and the people on top
hurled on both sides.
There was a crunc ching under the VIII eels
then the coach fell apart forty feet from
the crossing and the train rolled on an
mangled bodies on either side of the
track. Some of the eye witnesses were so
affected that they jumped on their wheels
and rode away, not knowing what they
were doing, and it was several minutes be-
fore any one attempted to assist.
Then e hotel-keeper and a physician
reached the scene, and the others, taking
courage, returned, while the crowded
train was backed to the crossing. The
dead and wounded were brought to the
Brooklyn hospital.
The dead are: Dora Bertsch, 20 years;
William Gilchrist, 81 years; Winslow
Lewis, "a years; George Pashley, 20 years; ;;
Leslie Roberts, "a years.

there was plenty OF room for the racing
it was not expected that any accident
would occur. Both Paxton and Helm are

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 31.-The
United States Senate has been made the
object OF a very bitter attack. This time
the individueI acting on the offensive is
the Rev. DR.. Anderson. He is the pastor
of the Washington Square Methodist
Episcopal Church of this city. Last night
there was a very large audience in his
church because OF the memorial services
being held there. Dr. Anderson is a pop-
uIar and forcible speaker, and when it had
been whispered around that he was going
to say something out of the ordinary run
of religious topics, naturally large crowd
assem- bled to hear him.
After the preliminary exercises were
concluded DR.. Anderson rose to address
the large audienc. There was instantly
a profou I'd silence, as his hearers were
anxious to know his theme. He an
nounced as his topic, "Our National Her
itage." Under that title he made a vigor-
Gus and telling denunciation Of the United
States Senate. He referred to it as IA scan
dal to the country. He said that the re-
cent developments proved that some of
the Senators were willing to barter their
country's honor for their own personal
gain.
After the discourse the comments on it
were very free. A great many thought
the preacher had done the proper thing,
but there were few who censured him
for making an attack where there was no
positive proof.
