A TrainlOad of Gold.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct. Ga
novel scheme for handling the gold
output of the Cripple Creek mines will
be put into use by the operators of that
district. The plan is to set aside the
output for one month, take the bullion
therefrom and ship it to the United
States mint in Philadelphia in a sin
gle consignment. A special train will
be secured for the purpose of transport
ing it, the bullion will be placed in
charge of some express company which
can guarantee its safety, and all neces-
sary precautions will be taken to pre-.
vent accident while the consignment
is in transit.
As the present output of Cripple
Creek is about $1,000, 900 per month,
this will be one of the largest ship
ments of gold bullion that ever crossed
the continent.

HAWAII WILL BELONG 70 US
Annexation Is Already Prae-
tieally Accomplished.
SO DECLARES SENATOR DODGE
ate at the Next Session of Congress
Has Been Assured.

Ratification of the Treaty by the Sem
ate at the Next Session of Congress
Has Been Assured.
New York, Oct. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Boston says: 81 look
upon the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands as practically accomplished" !"
said Senator Lodge. ''The treaty will
be taken up at once when congress as
sembles in December, and I think that
there is an easy majority in the senate
in favor of ratification. 1t it should
appear probable that opposition is de-
veloping sufficient to defeat ratification,
the remedy will be very simple. There
is joint resolution of annexation of
the islands on the calendar which does
not require two-thirds majority, as is
the case on the vote of ratification of
a treaty. A simple majority in both
houses will accomplish the same result.
and that majority we have easily. If
it appears that the ratification may fail
we shall simply slip in the resolution
and act on that in place of the treaty"
"What are your views as to form
of government for the islands after an
nexation?'
sit is settled that we do not care to
admit Hawaii as a state into the Union.
Some form of territorial government
must be adopted, but just what it shall
be is not fully determined. I am in
clined to think we should give Hawaii
form of government rather broader
than the ordinary territorial govern
ment. For example, I should give
the islanders power to continue their
legislative body in two branches,
whereas l believe territory has sim
gle house. A legislature in two houses
will give them a government similar
to our states. but they will not have
the power to elect senators in congress.
The system of federal courts must, of
course, be extended to the islands with
district and circuit judges. The local
courts may be retained as the people
themselves desire.''
"You would have the governor ap-
pointed by the PRESIDENT"
Certainly; as the governors of terri
tories are appointed. should prefer,
if were to express preference, that
the governor be appointed from the
islands. The question of suffrage
should be left to the government of the
islands to adjust as seems to it best,
within the limits of the constitution of
the United States beyond which no state
or territory can go. Before Christmas
l certainly expect that Hawaii will be
an American territory"

SUNK OFF THE RIVER.
Schooner Orion Cut Down by tho Ship
Peru.

Astoria, Oct. 6.-Shortly after 4
o'clock this afternoon, just as she was
ompleting one Of the fastest trans
Pacific sailing trips on record, the big
four-masted German ship Peru crashed
into the little coasting schooner Orion,
cutting her in two, and sending her to
the bottom Immediately.
When the little vessel was struck by
the big steel ship, the captain was
thrown across the deck, badly bruised,
and every one of his four men were
knocked about and more or less seri-
ously injured. They succeeded in gra sp-
ing ropes of the German bark, and
climbed aboard, and thus made their
escape. Captain Nelson was loath to
say who he thought was to blame for
the collision. He AYERS that his
schooner was on her course fer Shoal-
water bay. The weather was perfectly
clear and the sea smooth The acci-
dent occurred north of the lightship,
some 10 or Is miles off the mouth of
the river.
The tug Relief was towing the Ger
man bark, and the captain declined to
make statement. The captain of the
schooner laid his case before the Brit
ish vice-consul here tonight, and the
matter will be thoroughly investigated.
The shipwrecked crew are now at a
hotel in Astoria, without a cent of
money or clothes other than what was
on their backs at the time of the colli-
sion.
The Orion was en- route from San
Francisco for Willappa harbor in bal
last, and at the time of the accident
was on the starboard tack, steering by
the wind. While the reticence of the
men in charge of the vessel makes it
difficult to get at the exact cause Of the
disaster, it is apparent from what little
information they volunteer that there
was miscalculation as to the speed of
the vessels. which prevented their hav-
ing sea room until it was too late to
avoid collision.
The Peru being heavy steel ship
could not be much damaged by the en-
counter with the smaller wooden ves-
sci, but she came out of the collision
with her jibboon and bowsprit cap
missing. The Peru was on her way to
Portland. The Orion was small
three-masted schooner, of lit tons reg
lister.
The Peru is steel ship of 2, 093
tons net register, 275 feet long, 80. 5
feet beam, 23.9 feet hold.

DECISIVE BATTLE IMMINENT.
Turning Point in the Guatema1a War
at Hand.

New York, Oct. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Guatemala says:
The government is still mobilizing
its forces at Tolonicapan, and is prepar-
ing to make an attack on the rebels,
who have taken position ON the
heights of Coxon, near Tolonicapan.
1t is believed that there will be big
battle there which will mark the turn
ing point of the war.
The rebels, safely placed in the hills,
opened fire on the city at an early hour
on the morning of September 80. The
fire proved Ineffective, owing to the
great distance. The government forces
did not return the fire.

A dispatch from Lima says the COM
mittee of deputies which was recently
appointed to agree upon plan to set
tie the affairs of the Peruvian Corpora
tion have not been able to reach an
agreement. Several members Of the
committee advocate plan to authorize
the government by special act of con-
gress to negotiate with the corpora

make any terms with the creditors and
the corporation, and have authority to

the foreign debt, which debt the cor
poration assumed.

Oficers and Men Alike Are Confident of
Victory.
New York, Oct. Tomas Estrada
Palma, chief of the Cuban junta, has
received letter from General Gomez,
commander-in-chief of the Cuban army.
"Weyler's successor in Cuba" writes
the general, Sin order to cope with the
rebellion at its present standing, will
be obliged to demand 200,0 troops
and 500, 100000 and even then he
will fail as ignominiously as Weyler
has failed. Our men were never i'm
bued with a more hopeful spirit than
they are at present. The campaign in
Las Villas has been an utter failure.
The Spanish soldiers avoided us at
every possible opportunity. This
seemed to encourage our men. If Wey-
Ter be recalled. his successor here, who
ever he may be, will be surprised to
see the spirit of victory which animates
the brave Cuban troops. We cannot
be subjected, and no one knows this
better than Weyler.''
With the Gomez letter was one from.
General Calixto Garcia, who commands
the troops in the eastern provinces. It
gave some particulars concerning the
capture of Las Lunas on August 80 last.
"The dynamite which was sent u.s."
writes General Garcia, "played an i'm
portant part in the capture of Las
Lunas. Its destructive power spread
terror through the Spanish troops. We
besieged Lunas for three days, when it
finally surrendered. We found many
of the troops in terrible condition.
At least 100 men fell victims to the
dynamite shells, good many more be-
ing badly wounded. The rest of the
500 men were in an utterly demoralized
condition, and the Spanish flag was
hauled down.
"Our losses numbered go men. All
the sick and wounded Spanish were
sent to hospitals and given every pos
sible attention. The prisoners were
all released. If we had a few more
dynamite guns we should soon end the
war. Reports of its destructive work
have spread all through Cuba and have
disheartened the Spanish soldiers"
