Troops,

Havana, March 30-Gen. Hernandez
VelascO left San Cristobal under secret
orders at noon last Saturday with the
Castillo reina battalion and two field
pieces, and pitched his camp amid the
Brujito hills. The insurgents attacked
the regulars from the very outset of
the advance. Yesterday the Spanish
column marched upon Perico Pozo,
where Gen. Ruiz Rivera awaited them
in a strongly intrenched position.
Rivera opened fire Immediately on
seeing the head of the column. Lieut..
Rio advanced with the extreme van
guard, Major Sanchez Bernal leading
another division under the protection of
artillery, which shelled the trenches
held by Rivera, who was already
wounded in the thigh. One company of
the Reina cavalry galloped forward.

on learning that Rivera had been
wounded, hurried to the trenches and
Rivera and Col. .Bacallao were taken in
to the presence of Gen. Vetasco, who
shook hands with Rivera and introduce
ed him to the officers of his staff Civ
ing instructions that the first thing to
be done was TO give him surgical relief.
Lieut.. Terry and Col. Bacallao were
also wounded in a fight at the same
place on the 10Th.
Gen. Rivera, speaking of the Spanish
soldiery, said: They have treated me
very carefully"
He complained much of the pain in
his wounds.
Capt. Gen. Weyler received the news

GOULD TO HOLD UP RATES.
Missouri Pacific Has Not Cut and Will
Not Do So.

New York, March 3O.-President Geo.
]. Gould of the Missouri Pacific rail-
road made the following statement to-
day: "I regard the decline in Missouri
Pacific stock as simply the effect of
the supreme court decision in the
Transmissouri case, of which the bears
are taking advantage. Other stocks
have gone off fully as much or more
than the Missouri Pacific. All rumors
and reports regarding a receivership
for the Missouri Pacific are utterly with
out foundation. There will be no re-
ceiver.
Fixed charges are being met as they
come due and are even being anticipat-
ed. Furthermore, the Missouri Pacific
has made no cut in rates on eggs or any
other class of freight, and has no in
tention of making a cut on them or
any other freight. Rates are being
well maintained by all the roads in
which I am interested and will be main
tained so far as our competitors main
tain them"

A NEW OFFICIAL WORRY.
Treasury Officials Are Watching Pro-
gress of Color Photography.

Chicago, March 30.-That ingenius
Frenchman who invented the process of
phOtOgraphing in cOlOrs, which has been
attracting the attention of scientists of
late, has given the treasury department
of the United States and the treasury
departments of all other countries en-
plOying paper currency as part of their
circulating medium feeling of insecur-
ity. 1t is recognized by the watchdogs
of the treasures of the world that if
this invention gets into the hands of
counterfeiterS the financial system of
every nation employing notes is threat
ened.
A. L. Drummond, for years chief of
the United States treasury secret SER
vice, said:
IF this new invention can photograph
the red seals, the check numbers in
blue and the other cOlOrS employed in
engraving bank notes it would be in the
hands of unscrupulOus persons the most
dangerous weapon that ever menaced
the safety of the worlds currency. This
color photography opens immense pos
sibilities in the hands of clever men.
Given papers of similar quality there
is nothing to prevent a skillful opera
tor from producing absolute duplicates
in such numbers as he might desire of
any bank note eXtant in the circulation
of the world I understand our treaS@
ury department is investigating the pos
sibilitieS of the new process.

SEEKING A WAY OUT.
St Louis Railroad Officials Hold a
Conference.

ST. Louis, Mo, March 30.-An infor
NAL conference of traffic officials and
railroad attorneys representing St.
Louis lines was held today in the office
of the Southwestern Traffic associa-
ton to discuss the recent ruling of the
supreme court. 1t was suggested that
it might be well to continue the exist
ing organizations for the purpose of
classifying freight and to serve as a
clearing house for regulating joint
rates. That is to say, lines desiring to
make through rates in conjunction with
a connecting line must of necessity
have some central bureau where such
rates may be regulated.
The officials do not believe such an
organization would be a violation of
the law. After an Interchange of
views that lasted two hours commit
tee was appointed to formulate a plan
of action to be presented at some future
day. The committee is composed of
Vice Presidents Youkum of the Frisco
Ramsey of the Wabash and Miller of
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas.

A BLAST UNDER THE LAKE
At Chicago, When Exploded, Kills
Two Men and Hurts Four

Chicago, March 30.-Two men were
killed and four seriously injured by an
explosion in the northwest water tun-
mel at the foot of Oak street today.
The dead:
OWEN O'MALLEY.
PETER GALLAGHER.
The injured:
Thomas Gallagher.
Dennis Hayes.
Patrick Conway
George Blank.
The explosion took place at a point q
300 feet under the lake where excava-
ton was in progress for a water sup
ply inlet. An unusually heavy blast
had been prepared by the men and the
work had been safely accomplished.
The fuse had been lighted and the
warning given the men to get a safe
distance. O'Malley and Gallagher stay
ed behind for an instant and were with
in a few feet when the explosion
occurred. They received the full force
of the blast and were literally blown to
pieces. Hayes, Conway and Thomas
Gallagher had run a considerable dis
tance when the explosion occurred and
ordinarily would have been out of the
reach of the force of the blast. This
time, however, the flying rocks and de-
bris seemed to have more than ordi-
nary force and beside being burned by
the explosion, they were crushed and
bruised by heavy stones and masses of
CLAW.
