SPANISH TRAIN BLOWN UP.
Nearly $50 Soldiers Were Killed OF
Injured.


NEW YORK, March IA Havana spe.
cial to the World says: Through Cubans
here it is learned that a train carrying
Spanish troops was blown up by dynamite
while passing over a deep gorge south of
Candelaria, Pinar del Rio province, and
that nearly two hundred and fifty soldiers
were killed or injured. Many of the vic
tins were blown to fragments. The loco
motive and six cars were demolished.
The tragedy occurred about the 10th in
slant. The Spanish general. Arlal had
learned of projected insurgent attack
supposedly on San Crstobal, and he sent
OH nVe hundred troops in armored cars to
reinforce the garrison there. About ten
miles from San Cristobal the ROAD crosses
a deep gorge on a very high bridge about
five hundred feet long.
The insurgents learning of the departure
OF the train, lined the bridge at the bends
and the center with heavy charges of 6y-
namite, connecting the explosive by wires
with a battery in the woods some distance
OH Ihree hundred insurgents lay in am
push near by. 1t is understood that the
MINI brothers were i'll command. and that
capt; john Lynn. the young American elec-
trical engineer. who has made himself ia
nous in Cuba for his work on the dyna-
mite gun. contrived the affair.
Inc train approached the bridge about 3
% CLOCK In the morning. When fully on it
all three charges were exploded nv the
wires. The engine and cars flew into the
cir like so many chips and fell into the
deep gorge below. crushing dead and in
Jured alike. There the wreckage caught
fire.
AS soon as the explosion occurred the in
surgents dashed from their ambuscade
with wild cries, and began massacre But
for the timely hoisting of white flag by
Colonel Mores, who was in command of the
Spanish forces. every man would have been
macheted. AS 1t was the Cubans secured
30O prisoners, including ten officers The
private soldiers, after being dlvested of
most of their uniforms. were released and
sent to San Cristobal; the officers were re-
tained as hostages for twenty-five insur-
gents, who are held at Artemesia and
threatened with death.
The Spaniards here admit the dynamting
OF the train. but claim that the details are
exaggerated.
General Aranguren raided two towns in
the southwestern part of Havana province
Friday and Saturday, and looted the stores
and destroyed one Spanish block fort In
both cases the garrisonss retreated to safer
quarters, hardly firing a round.
Word comes from Santa Clara of two
fierce engagements on Thursday and Fri
day. in which the Spaniards lost heavily.
Five battaliors of troops were sent there

SATURDAY, JUNE u. 1897.

The papers have told all they can
learn concerning the late visit Of Call
houn to Cuba and the investigation in
to the death Of Ruiz, and there is moth
ing more known than before the COM
missioners were sent. 1t may have in
tensified previous convictions, but 1t
really adds nothing to the actual
knowledge Of the situation. The con-
clusion is that there is actual war in
Cuba, that the war will not end in a
year, that Spain cannot conquer a
peace, that the insurgents are really
stronger than they were a year ago
and that the fight will go on. All
these things were as we'll known be-
fore Calhoun went to Cuba as they are
now.

The more thoroughly any one OF
the Cuban provinces is reported paci-
fled by Weyler the more signal is the
victory that the insurgents gain there
in the immediate future. The list of
skirmishes and almost battles grows
and the Spanish forces are almost in
variably worsted. They are led into
ambush and cut off, or surprised in
their own fortified camps and put to
the machete there. Weyler hangs one
of his officers occasionally as a warn
ing to the rest, but so long as he re-
mains unhung himself there will be
no improvement.

no matter how old or serious the case
may be. No pain, no operation, no

declined to give his sanction to her visit
to England.
Matters had reached critical stage
when the princess of Wales suddenly
made her appearance at Copenhagen,
bringing along with her her two
daughters, the duchess of Fife and
Princess Victoria for the purpose Of
soothing and comforting their sister,
1t was said at the time that the sudden
departure of the princess Of Wales from
England was due to the danger In
which her brother, the king Of Greece,
was involved at Athens. But that was
not the case. TWAS on account Of Prinr
cess Maud that she hurried off to Copen-
hagen.
With great difficulty the princess OF
Wales now has obtained permission
from her father, the king, that Maud
should spend three months of the pres
.ent season in London, the jubilee fes-
'tivities being taken as pretext> Yet
so thoroughly does the crown princess
of Denmark disapprove of this conces-
sion that at the last moment she has
announced that neither she nor her
daughters viii come to London for the
festival in question, and that she will
remain IN Germany instead, leaving the
crown prince to go alone.
It may be remembered that from the
very outset the crown princess did not
like the idea of o union between her son
Charles and Princess Maud of Wales,
She had privately made oil the
arrangements for his marriage to the
young queen Of Holland, and when
Prince Charles, with the usual contrari-
ness of lovers, fell in love with the
wrong girl-that is to say, with his first
cousin, Maud-the crown princess was
so disappointed that at first she de
clined to do anything financially fol-
him.
It is difficult to conceive greatercon
trast than that which exists between
the crown princess and her English
daughter-in-law. The latter is the
quintessence of chic and refinement
sparkling with wit, exceedingly elegant
and neat and trim in her diminutiv
person. The crown princess, ON tho
contrary, is the tallest royal lady II
Europe, large-boned and ungainly II
the extreme and with the walk of {
grenadier and the laugh Of horse
and an execrably loud taste in every
thing that concerns dress. She is re

NOT HAPPILY MARRIED.
Princess Maud and Her Relations
Cannot Get Along.
The English Girl Has Proved Herself
Too Lively and Thereby Incurred
the III VIII of Her Wealthy
Mother-in-Law.

Both the prince of Wales and the
princess are much distressed just at
present about their favorite daughter,
Princess Maud, known among her rela-
tives by the nickname of Harry" who
was married last year to Prince Charles
of Denmark. Itseems that theunion has
shared the fate of so many matrimonial
alliances of royalty, having turned out
most unhappily. TO begin with, the
change from the pleasant, active life at
Sandringham and at Marlborough
house to Copenhagen, which Is the
dreariest capital in Christendom, has
been more than the princess could
stand. Moreover, her husbands rela-
tives never have been congenial to her,
and, inasmuch as her husband has been
away at sea for nearly three months
past, she has been simply bored to
death and so homesick that short
time ago she had made up her mind
that she could not stand it any longer,
and announced her intention of return
ing to England, no matter whether she
obtained the consent of her husbands
family thereto or not.
The crown princess of Denmark,
says the Chicago Record, assumed a
very unfriendly attitude toward Prin-
cess Maud, and, inasmuch as it is
she who holds the purse strings
the allowance to the young couple be-
ing made from her enormous fortune,
one of the largest in Europe-she an
nounced that if Princess Maud went
to England she would cease to provide
funds.
The old king Of Denmark, without
going so far as the crown princess, ex-
pressed his disapproval of the conduct
of Princess Maud, and, recalling to
mind the trouble to which he had been
put in order to get Maud to come to
Denmark at all after her marriage, he
