Caused by Defective Truck.

The Canadian Pacific express over the
southern division of the Boston and
Maine Railroad met with an accident at
West Medford, Mass, whereby nearly
thirty people were more or less injured,
but none, it is believed, fatally hurt. AS
the train approa ched the West Medford
station, No. 997 jumped the track, owing,
it is claimed, to a defective truck. The
rear truck turned completely around,
throwing the car partially on the side.
Another car, No. 127, was partly derailed
and the sleeper was thrown upon its side.

Ritter Toward Americans.

News from Madrid indicates that Unit

fool the bitterness of the Spanish people
at every turn. Spurious reports Of an
nlt;matum having been given regarding
the Cuban war by America have indamed
the Spanish public. Specific denials from
officials of the truth of these reports have
done little to soften the bitter feeling.

PLEASED WITH WILSON.
Something Must be Done to Increase
the American Butter Trade
Abroad.

Chicago, April 13.-The butter trade
is greatly pleased with the determine
ton of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
to interest himself in the expectation
of the product+of American creameries
as told in Washington dispatches yes
terday.
Something has got to be done to in
crease our trade abroad, said a promi-
nenI merchant of this city. for we are
beginning to produce more than we can
use at home. AS / understand it the
secretary of agriculture simply intends
to ship some samples of American but
ter to England for the purpose of ex-
perimenting. Mr.. Monrad of the ag-
ricultural department has for some
time been experimenting with devices
for pasteuriZing butter, cream and
milk, and it has been his desire to
have some of the creameries given
into his charge for a time, so that he
could experiment fully. His idea is to
then take samples abroad and prove
that we can put up butter of SUI
perior quality that will keep. 1t has
been found that pasteurizing milk will
keep it four or five days longer than
milk in which the germs have not been
killed. Butter made from pasteurized
cream likewise will keep its favor
longer. 1t is likely that Mr.. Wilson's
efforts in conjunction with Mr.. Mon
RAIDS experiments will solve the prob
lem of a foreign butter trade

SANGUILLY RETURNS.
DID NOT START FOR CUBA AS
REPORTED.
Was Never Interviewed, and Did
Not Make Statements Recently
Attributed to Him-As to Rivera.


New York, April 13.-General julio
Sanguilly accompanied by his son ar
rived in this city last night from Flor
ida and went at once to the house OF
his brother-in-low Edol Norte Fares
In an interview he said
when 1 started about ten days ago
for a trip south l was in search of
warmer weather as the damp atmos-
phere then prevailing in this city was
very annoying to me, troubled as 1 am,
with rheumatism and old wounds Ii
was not, as reported, to go to Cuba
Interviews with me as printed by some
papers did not take place as alleged.
The fact is, 1 did not meet any news
paper men during my trip. The remark
attributed to me to the effect that
did not expect any action in behalf
of Cuba from the present administra-
ton could not be further from my
opinion. l earnestly believe that the
Mckinley administration will do its
duty toward Cuba"
When asked his opinion regarding
the probable fate of General Rivera,
Sanguilly said:
Il do not believe the Spanish gov
eminent will shoot him. They Ger
tainly fear the effect it would cause
in this country. 1t is about time that
Spain should be made to understand
that she must carry on warfare in
Cuba in a civilized manner"

PRESENT ADMINS fRATION
Sewall Says the People of the East
Are Inclined to Give It Fair
Trial


San Francisco, April 1S.-Arthur
Sewall, the Democratic candidate for
vice-president in the last campaign, ar
rived from the east, via the Isthmus of
Panama last night.
Mr. Sewall has been on the water for
the past 80 days and. consequently, is
not familiar with the political hap
penings of that period. He said:
Il place no special significance upon
the recent Democratic successes in
eastern cities. They were purely the
result of local influences. The people
of the east are inclined to give Presi-
dent Mckinley and his administration
a fair trial. Business is very much de-
pressed there, and should it not i'm
sent the same silver issue four years
hence. and l have no doubt they will be
successful. everything will depend upon
the financial condition of the country
during the next four years. The peo-
pie have been promised better times,
and if they do not get them they will
again demand a change of administra-
ton" Mr.. Sewall is visiting San Fran
cisco on both business and pleasure.
He is largely interested in ship building
in Maine, which industry, he says, is
practically suspended. He is thinking
of going to Japan to secure some con-
tracts from the government or the mer-
camille interests there, but whether he
will make the trip or not, he says, Will
depend upon business arrangements
that will develop within a few days.
