Madrid, October 25.--A dispatch just
received here from Havana has caused
considerable stir in political circles. 1t
declares that the opponents OF auton-
omy are seeking to create difficulties for
Marshal Blanco, who succeeds Gen.
Weyler as captain general OF Cuba,
adding that the situation in the island
is the same as it was six months ago.
The dispatch further says that the mil
itary operations Of the Spaniards are
suspended; that troops are solely en-
ployed in guarding the railroads, and
that it is estimated that 40 ,00op soldiers
are on the sick list. Finally the dis
patch asserts that the Spanish govern
ment has cabled to Gen. Weyler, the
retiring captain general Of Cuba, in
structing him to await the arrival OF
his successor, Marshal Blanco, before
embarking' on his return to Spain.
The dispatch says that the financial
situation in Cuba is frightful; that
commerce is paralyzed and that the
autonomist committee is not in accord
with the members of the autonomist
party.

MARIETTA, o.. October 25.-Within
three miles OF Marietta. this afternoon. in
broad daylight, well-known preacher
was shot down from ambush by an I'M
known enemy. and is now lying in pre-
carious condition, with a bullet through
his chest.
Rev. Archimedes Calvert, the victim.
was until recently. pastor Of the church
at Mile Run, west OF this city, but his
forcible sermons were too strong for his
flock, an i'll feeling sprang UP and ;his,
services were dispensed with.
A bitter neighborhood quarrel arose and
developed into deadly feud. Rev. Mr..
Calvert and his enemies going about in
expectation of trouble.
Several months ago an attempt was
made TO send Calvert to the insane asy-
lum. but a sensational inquest developed
that he was as sane as any OF his ae-
cusers
AT the trial he stated that he feared he
would one day be shot. and to-day's &C.
currence has justified him.
About four o'clock p. m. Calvert. who
lives on a farm, took a sled and went TO
a nearby pool to secure a barrel of wa
ter. While stopping over he was shot IN
the back by some unknown person, hid
den in a clump OF bushes, fifty yards dis
tant. The heavy rifle bullet tore its way
through his right shoulder blade, pierced
his lung, and lodged in his chest making
a horrible wound.
Calvert managed to roll onto his sled.
and calling feebly TO the horses they haul
ed him home insensible.
He will probably ole.

covered The engine was about thirty
feet from the shore and in about sixty
feet of water, and firmly imbedded IN
the mud. The cab was completely
wrecked and the tender had become
separated from the engine.
At O'Clock this afternoon the
wrecking crew made another search
for the bodies of the engineer and lire
man and Supt Van Etten's clerk, Mr..
Mckay When the diver came up, az
ter twenty-five minutes, he said. Il
could find no trace of any of the miss
ing men, and / dent believe they are
near the engine. | should say that IL
they cid not jump. and it looks as !.
they did not have time, that t~> rush
of water through the cab was so fierce
that it fairly swept them out OF 1t, and
drowned them quickly. | would not
be surprised if theyswere half mile or
a mile beyond the engine.
Thousands CT persons, most OF them
women, visited the scene of the wreck
to-day, standing for hours in the
| drenching rain.
[ The crowd became so large that 1t
| was necessary to rope in all the space
| from which the tracks had gone into
| the river.
| At O'Clock tonight, but for few
burning embers and twisted rails it
would be difficult to detect any signs
of the wreck Division superintendent
| Mccoy decided that none of the cars
would ever be fit for use again and
| that with the exception or the cushions
| there was nothing worth saving. Inc
| torch was applied to the day coach ana
| the combination smoking and baggage
| car. The work of raising the sleeping
| coach "Hermes" proceeded slowly, and
| it was not until l O'Clock that II was
| f1oated up on transport. While being
! raised the trucks gave way and fell
| with a crash isto the river. The car
| was towned down the river and de
posted on the bank, where it was de-
stroyed by fire. The last coach OF the
| Inflated train, the ''Niobe," was gotten
out of the water at 5 o'clock and also
| burned. The express car is three hun
| dred yards below No attempt will be-
made to raise it until tomorrow morn
| ing. All day large force of men ha:
| been at work building the tracks. The
| north bound track was moved over 81
feet east, firm bed composed OF sand
gravel and broken stones having beer
| prepared for it, The track has als(
been planned for south-bound trains
Supt Mccoy thinks the two tracks vii
be in operation by tomorrow night.
The coroner's jury will meet on Tues
day night to conduct an investigation Il
the meantime the railroad commissioner
and officials Of the New York Central rail
road are also investigating into the caus
of the disaster.

persisted in the railway disaster at CARR

majority of cases, is dead.
On his way out over the Dalton trail,
which in many places runs along the
Yukon's banks. the party met many
boats bound down. About 800 boats
are now going down the river, with
from four to seven men in each boat.
The Fries party was the last to leave
Dawson At Five Finger Rapids they
fell in with the party headed by Kay
Stuart, of New York, which left six
days before, and reaching Dalton's
boat. they caught up with the party
made up of John Fry, F. L. and l.
Trippe and C. Holden, OF New York,

short of food, and for four days none
had any food save an owl which they
shot and some soup made from raw
hide strap which they were using in
packing their goods.
