SENATOR WOLCOTT.
rIay Go Abroad as Commissioner IN
the Interest of Bimetallism.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Walcott said to-day that he knew
nothing of any intention on the part OF
Mckinley to ask him to go to Europe
as a Commissioner on behalf OF the
Government to continue his negotla-
tions looking to international agree
ment on silver. He made the state
ment upon being shown an article IN
a New York paper that he would be
asked by the President to accept this
mission, but declined to discuss the
question further.
Inquiry among Senators interested IN
the bimetallic movement develops the
fact that some understanding had been
reached that a special Commission
or Commissioner will be selected under
the last proceedings of the last Con-
gress. who will go abroad to forward
bimetalllism 1t is believed that Sena-
tor Wicott will be selected, because he
has already been abroad, and from the
reports he brought back is looked upon
as the proper man to make the effort
under the authorization of law and ap-
pointment by the President. 1t is
stated that nothing less has yet been
definitely settled.

CUBANS USE DYNAMITE.
A TRAIN CARRYING SPANISH
TROOPS BLOWN UP.
Nearly Two Hundred and Fifty SOL
diers Killed or Injured and r1any
Taken Prisoners.

NEW YORK, March IA Havana
special to the World says:
Through Cubans here it is learned
that a train carrying Spanish troops
was blown up by dynamite while pass
ing over a deep gorge south of Candle
aria Pinar del Rio province, and near
ly $50 soldiers were killed or injured.
The locomotive and six cars were de-
molished The tragedy occurred about
the 10th instant.
The Spanish General Arail had
learned of a projected insurgent attack,
supposedly on San Cristobal, and he
sent off 800 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 800 feet long. The insur-
gents, learning of the departure Of the
train, lined the bridge at the bends and
center with heavy charges of dynamite,
connecting the explosive by wires with
a battery in the woods. The insurgents
lay in ambush near by.
1t is understood the Minse brothers
We're in command, and that Captain
John Lynn, the young American cleo
trical engineer, who has made himself
famous in Cuba by his work with the
dynamite gun, contrived the affair.
The train approached the bridge
about 3 o'clock in the morning. When
fully on it all of the charges We're ex-
ploded. The engine and cars flew into
the air like so many chips, and fell into
the deep gorge below, crushing dead
and injured alike The wreckage
caught fire
AS soon as the explosion occurred the
insurgents dashed from their ambus-
cade with a wild cry, and began to
massacre. But for the timely hosting
of a white flag by Colonel Mores, who
was in command of the Spanish forces,
every man would have been macheted.
AS it was, the Cubans secured 300 pris-
oners, including ten officers. The pri-
vate soldiers, after being Invested of
most of their uniforms, were released
and sent to San Cristobal, the officers
being retained as hostages for twenty
five insurgents who are held at Arte-
misa and threatened with death
The Spanish here admit the dynamit-
ing of the train, but claim the details
are exaggerated
Word comes from Santa Clara of two
fierce engagements on Thursday and
Friday in which the Spaniards lost
heavily. Five battalions of troops were
sent to that place yesterday.

means for removing or inserting leaves
when unlocked. This combination has
been obtained in the only perfect way in

an entirely new and novel, yet simple,
combination Of special features in the

extra outside appliances are required, nor
does it become compulsory to place de-
pendence for security on a notched or cut
out sheet to attain these results. Neither
is 1t necessary to remove the cover from
the Ledger Binder, nor any of the sheets,
except those desired. In all other makes
of Loose Leaf Ledgers it is necessary to
remove the top cover of the binder and
all the sheets to the one that is to be re-
moved.
