 PLACED ON 4 TRACK
Freight Engine Goes Over an En- bankment to the Beach Near
 Ellicott Station.

JACKSONVILLE, Aug. 13.-Freight train No 73 on the Santa Cruz division of the Southern Pacific was wrecked this af- ternoon at 3:30 o'clock near Ellicott sta ton. six miles from here. The engine was hurled over an embankment to the beach, fifty feet below One freight car telescoped the tende,, which remained on the track, and another car was wrecked. About 200 feet of track was bad ly torn up. Jones, the engineer, and Har- ry Lewis, the fireman, Jumped from the engine just before she flew over the em- bankment Jones is severely bruised and lewis has his shoulder blade broken and is probably init red internally.
 The wreck was caused, it is believed by a good-sized bolt which had been placed on the track. Suspicion rests on two young men who had been evicted from passenger train shortly before. If pas senger train had struck this bolt on the track the whole train would have gone over the cliff into the bay.

lease of those Cubans who have been deported from Cuba and sent to Span ish penal settlements. I shall urge that the Washington authorities secure the release of these prisoners
 As far as the present government of Cuba is concerned the leading men of the republic, from President Masso down. have implicit confidence in the declaration that the Cnited States Government went to war, not for the acquisition of Cuba, but to free the island for the Cubans. It may be that in years to come the Cubans may, of their own volition, request this country to annex Cuba, but that Is not for the present. Whether the present govern ment of Cuba will be recognized now Is no matter. The Cubans do not wish to embarrass the Washington authori- ties and have no doubt that whatever is for the best will be done.
 But no matter in what way the American Government goes about 1t, it will always find the native Cubans not only willing but anxious to help the Americans in the solution of the prob lem"
