A Secret Meeting.

Copyright by Associated Press, 1898. }
Santiago DE Cuba, Aug. 16.-A Sc
ret meeting was held last night at the
palace between the commanding Off
GERS of the American army and the Gu
ban leaders.
The strictest secrecy was maintained, j.,
but it can said upon authority that Gen
eral Garcia was present. The meeting
lasted for an hour and half.
The information obtained Is to the
effect that the Cuban situation was
thoroughly reviewed and that it was re-
solved to dlsband the Cuban army and
that the United States should pay the
men off.
This involves the expenditure of $l5,-
100000. but it is most important to the
prosperity of the island, whose wealth
is entirely agricultural ; nobody, planter
or farmer, dares to cultivate his lands
while the insurgent bands are in the
field raiding and burning.

Miami, Fla, June 27.-Mean whisky
and desire for notorlety caused some
of the soldiers of the First Louisiana
to attempt to run the camp Saturday
night. Dozens of men were arrested
during the early hours Of Sunday, and
in one or two cases officers were com
PEELED to resort to extreme measures
to preserve order.
The climax came when Private JOS
eph Scott of company NJ was shot and
Instantly killed by citizen named
Sigsbee, who is said to be an uncle OF
Captain Slgsbee of the navy. Scott
threatened Sigsbee with a loaded mus
liet and then insulted the latter's wife,
Sigsbee was exonerated by the coro-
ners jury. Compared with this sort
of behavior the conduct of the Texas
troops was most commendable.
The censorship was even more rigid
last night than it was Saturday.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 27.-While
the army advances the main portion
Of the fleet lies patiently in front of
MORO castle awaiting its opportunity.
Before the end of next week the late
of Santiago and Admiral Cervera
should be decided. By that time 1t is
believed the Spanish troops will have
been driven into the city and defeated
in decisive engagement. Simultan-
eously the ships at the mouth of the
harbor should be captured under a nav
al bombardment. Three things will
then be left for Cervera-surrender
with the ship, surrender after destroy
ing his ships, or make dash out to
sea.
He may forestall fate by making an
attempt to get out of the harbor be-
fore the army accomplishes its end.
The first Spanish ship to appear oil
MORO castle will be sunk within nif-
teen minutes. Nothing in Admiral
Cervera's feet could survive the con
centrated fire of all the battleships of

Memphis Tenn, June PA special
to the Commercial-Appeal from TupelO,
Miss, says:
A railway accident occurred here at
$40 yesterday afternoon, in which four
soldiers and a colored porter lost their
lives and others sustained fatal lnju
ries.
Immediate attention was given them
and everything done TO relieve the
wounded by the local physicians and
the city organizations and the ladies
were on the scene and administering
to the sufferers.
Yesterday afternoon Colonel Torrey's
troop of Rough Riders, from Cheyenne,
Wyo., reached this place via the Kan
.sas City, Memphis and Birmingham
railway.
The first section had stopped to take
water and had whistled to start on
when the second section rounded the
sharp curve in the tracks just before
the town is reached and dashed into 1t.
In the rear of the first section was
the sleeper Seville, containing the reg-
mental staff, including Colonel Tor
rey.
This car was completely demolished,
yet, strangely enough, every inmate es-
capped, excepting the colonel, who is in
jured, though not seriously.
The chief fatalities occurred in
coach which stood in the center of the
first section, carrying troop G, from La
ramie, Wyo.

On the second section one baggage
car was thrown into the ditch, several
hundred feet away, but in this train

Action on the part of the soldiers was
immediate to save their imperlled com
rades and with axes and rope, and

The wounded were removed to va

The Second United States volunteer
cavalry was raised by Colonel Torrey,
its commander, from the Rocky Noun
tain region, including the states OF wy
oming, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and
Utah.
Those soldiers killed and mortally
injured were from the first named
state.
The fault of this accident probably
lies with the engineer of the second sec

near the first section. The engineer $
