KILLED BY ELECTRIC CAR
Trooper SalOsky Falls Under the
Wheels and Meets Instant Death.
Slipped From an fuba nlIment 10
the Track-It Was Impossible
to Slacken the Cars Speed.

Joseph Salosky, a private OF Troop G.,
stationed at Fort Myer. was run over by
an electric car of the Falls Church road
last evening, and instantly killed.
From what can be learned OF the acci-
dent, it seems that salosky was walkng
near the edge OF the embankment, above
the car track when he slipped and fell
TO the track below, and just in front Of
a rapidly approaching car. The car
struck him before it's speed could be
slackened, and the unfortunate mans body
was crushed beneath the wheels.
The man was dead before the conductor
of the car reached him, his body being so
badly mutilated as to be almost unrecog
niZable.
His uniform showed him TO be soldier.
so the officials al Fort Myer were at once
notified of the accident An ambulance
was sent to the scene OF the accident In
order to convey the remains to the fort.
At the time this report was received the
body had not reached the fort and few par
ticulars OF the accident could be learned
Owing to the late hour at which the
accident occurred, it was impossible to
learn the name of the conductor andmotor-
man of the car, but 1t is believed that they
Will not be held in any way responsible
for the accident.
It is known that Salosky was alone Just
previous to the time when he was killed,
and it is presumed that he had been to this
city, and was on his way back 70 the fort
Salosky was German by birth, but had
lived in this country several years. He
wastwenty-siX years Of age, and had served
in the cavalry for three years. He was en-
listed at Cincinnati, Ohio, and it is said
that his record as a soldier was IN excellent

A Fierce Engagement Between

Santa Clara province. Near Remedies, in
the northeastern part OF the province, an
engagement is reported between Gen.
Gomez aud the. Spanish column of Gen.
Ruiz, which lasted several hours.
The Cuban commander used his guerilla
tactics, showing the admirable training
OF his troops. The Cubans separated into
small bands at given order from Gomez,
barassing the Spanish from all sides.
Then they came together again in large
bodies, Tor cavalry attacks upon the Span
iards as soon as Gen. Ruizs column be-
gan TO march. The Spaniards were great
ly fatigued by these tactics, and their
artillery was rendered useless. They en-
tered Remedies worn out and leaving 100
dead along their line of march. The Cuban
losses were almost Insignificant.
In the hills OF La Sigudnea another hard
fight is reported between tue Cuhans, led
by Gems. Quiatin, Banderas, and Rebau, and
the combined forces of Gems Muntaner and
Aldare Banderas fought bIavely ordering
his m en- to charge with their nachetes A
hand-tC- hand fight ensued, in which the
Spaniards Were obliged to retire, both sides
suffering heavy losses. Gen. Rebau, after
the engagement, pursued the column of
Gen. Aldare to Sancti Spiritus, and har-
raised it all day, killing more than 100
Spanish soldiers.
In all Santa Clara province the revolution
is as strong as ever, and WeyIer's report
that he pacified the province has no basis
In fact. The Spaniards here insist that
Senior ToiHas Estrada Palma mas received
formal warning from President Mckinley
not To violate the neutrality laws of the
United States, and now the same state
ment is made on no less authority than
Senor Canovas himself. SeDor Canovas is
reported as saying that he is very much
pleased by the evidence or the sincere
friendship for Spain OF the American id-
ministraiion and Tor its faithful perform
ance OF its dutyin regardto Cuban matters.
Captain Weyler has asserted that the re-
ports OF famine in Cuba among the country
men concentrated in the towns by his
orders, are absolutely false. Notwith-
standing this statement fannie is causing
the severest distress from Santa Clara

DEAD ON THE RAILROAD.
Adolph Davidson, Race Track

The mangled body OF young cnlored
man was found on the main track IL The
Pennsylvania Railroad, near Penning,
at O'Clock yesterday morning, by Brake
man J. Goswell, of the Pennsylvania.
The man had evidently been struck by
q fast flying train some time after mid
night. The remains were gathered up
and brought to the Jersey yards at 3 clock
Yesterday, whence they were conveyed
in the patrol wagon of the Fifth precinct
to the morgue.
Tho body was identified as that Of
Adolphus Davidson, race track en-
ploye, who had been working at East
Arlington. near Baltimore. Nobody has
claimed the remains and it is probable
that they will be inferred in Potter's
field.
The dead man has a brother, W. L.

HER GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Sister Beetrice's Half Century of
Loving Service.

The golden jubilee of Sister Beatrice, Of
Providence Hospital, while a very quiet
affair, as such events always are, was
one of much interest. Sister Beatrice made
history for herself many years ago by her
heroism in yellow fever epidemics In the
South. She has been the practical force
in most of the Improvements and progress
at the great institution, which she governs
with wonderful tact and ability. The
evident success of her administration of
affairs is by reason Of her great executive
ability.
The event observed on Saturday last was
the completion of a half century in q
sisteThood whose beautiful offices are
part of the history of a great many hos
pitfalls, asylums, plague-stricken cities and
battlefields. 1t was q ''cele bTaton," !"
however, only In name. One of the sisters
of another institution said yesterday that
there We're no forms or emonials. In
fact, she said, no one, even at Providence
Hospital, would have observed anything
to indicate that last Saturday was the
golden jubilee of Sister Beatrice.
