As soon as the death became known
a number Of visitors. including many
public men. came to the hotel to ex-
press their condolences. President Nc
Kinley manifested his sympathy by
sending q suitably worced letter, and
Vice President Hobart sen his card.
Among hos who called were Senator's
Foraker. Money. Proctor and Chandler.
a number Of the members Of the hous.
OF representatives. and Major Generals
Lawton n Wheeler. In the evening
Secretary Alger and Postmaster Gen.
eraL Smith both called at the hotel.
Secretary OF State Hay sent his carl
to the junta- General Miles sent a
letter of coincidence. as did the presl-
lent and others.
BODY WILL BE SENT TO CUBA.
Definite arrangements for the funer-
al have not yet been arranged and
will not be announced until today. Gen.
eral Wheeler. who called early In the
day. expressed a willingness to arrange
any details that might be necessary
upon behalf OF the Cuban junta and
members OF the commission. and any
military display which may be ar
ranged will probably be under his
charge. II is probable that services
will be held at some Catholic church,
possibly ST. Patrick's. although this Is
by no means certain. for the reason
that Genera Garcia during his life
made no professions OF Catholicism.
although some of the members OF his
family are OF that faith. 1t is known.
however, that the remain will be en-
balmed and ultimately sent to Cuba,
and probably inferred either in Santi-
ago or Havana.

Washington, December 13.-The SOL
m high mass of the Catholic church
was performed over the remains of
church today before the body of the
distinguished Cuban leader was COM
mitted to the vault in the national
cemetery at Arlington. The service
was notable in the distinguished gath
ering present. All the honors of wal
hero were bestowed by this govern
ment upon the iron hearted old Cuban.
Escorted by two batteries of artil-
lery, the procession halted before the
door and the military guard grounded

SOlemnly.
The church altar was draped in the
emblems of mourning and the candles
stood in black sconces
The solemn procession moved down
the aisle from the door, the coffin
borne by a detail of artillerymen. The
cuban flag was draped over the silver
bound coffin.
To the left in pews reserved for them
sat h honorary pallbearers-General
Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
United States army, General L. Tton
and General jos Wheeler, who were
among the first to greet General Gar

Wr. Bailey Opposes General Wheeler
Acting as a Congressman

Washington, December 13.-Repre-
sentative Bailey, of Texas, has decid-
ed to raise the question of the right of
Major General Wheeler to participate
in the proceedings of the house should
he attempt to exercise h privileges
of a member. He will also raise the
question as against either of the three
other members Of the house, who en-
tered the service of the United states
during the war with Spain, Messrs.
Robbins, republican, of Pennsylvania:
Colson, republican, of Kentucky, and
Representative Bell, of Illinois. None
of these members of the house who
entered the military service have par
ticipated in the proceedings since the
session convened, either to introduce
bills or vote upon them, but last Sat
urday night Major General Wheeler
attended the democratic caucus AS
none but democratic members OF con-
gress are members of the democratlc
caucus. Mr.. Bailey says this raises the
presumption that General Wheeier
contemplates resuming his seat in the
house.

To Avail fPassinS Freight Train q
Gang Of Track Laborers Jump ON he
Passenger Track Just I'm Front Of
Flying Express Train-The Scene .
Horrible One:
Buffalo, N. Y, December 13.-Eight
men were killed and four injured at
Winspeare bridge near Corfu on the
New York Central railroad today. They
were Poles, with the exception of John
Warner, their foreman, who is
among the killed.
The men were engaged in shoveling
snow, Of which there were numerous
drifts On the line. Warner and a gang
were working on track No. 3 near
Winspeare bridge. A freight train
was laboring it's way ~ponderously up
the steep incline. It's motion was SO
slow that the men continued their
work until the train was almost upon
them. Then they jumped, some to the
right, others to the left. Those who
jumped to the north escaped. Most Of
those who jumped to the south were
struck by the express train coming
down track No. 2 with fearful velocity.
There is a straight piece of track here,
and the engineer had a clear view down
the stretch. No snow was falling. AS
soon as he realized the appalling sit
uation he brought the train up with a
jerk that threw the passengers out of
their seats. 1t was too late, however,
to avoid the calamity.
Twelve mangled bodies were picked
up, in but six of which life was found.
The bodies were scattered over a large
area. Some had been thrown a dis
lance of sixty feet. Others were
thrown against the freight train and
their bodies horribly cut and dis
membered. The body of one man
was hurled onto the moving freight
train and carried nearly two miles.
The more fortunate companions of
the dead and injured gathered up the
remnants, put them together as near
and placed them in the baggage car Of
the train that killed them and they
were taken to Buffalo.
The wounded were all conveyed to
the Fitch hospital, where the surgeons
examined the injuries and dressed the
wounds. All were conscious, and the
surgeons said all would recover. Not
one of the men at the hospital heard
the whistle.
The engineer of the passenger train
said in an interview:
Il could see nothing ahead Of me,
but I could see the place looked bad and
blew my whistle. I had let up on the
whistle when heard my fireman give
a yell. He did not call for brakes, but
l slapped on the air the minute I heard
him. He had seen a man beside the
track, though he had not seen any one
struck then. A moment after l applied
the brakes. I saw a man shoot up
into the air on my side of the cab. He
was as high as the smoke stack when
l saw him. He came down on the
freight train which was running along
on that side and was carried a mile be-
fore he fell off. My train stopped in
about two trains lengths and the sight
that l saw when l got out was the
most horrible L nave ever witnessed.
The dead and mangled were lying on
both sides of the track just as they had
been thrown. l did not see them un-
til after we had struck them. I did
not see them come on the track and
until my fireman yelled l did not
know they were there.

Won Two Games From
:ss -s Ottawa Yesterday.
FIRST A FINE CONTEST.
EASTERN LEAGUE. STANDING.


BY winning two games from the ot-
tawas yesterday the Providence Grays
took the lead of the second division in
the race for the Eastern League PEN
nant. Both games were spirited and
hotly contested. In the first Evans
pitched for the home team and Horton
for the visitors, and both did splendid
work. Providence won the game in the
second inning by q punching of hits.
crisham started IL, and after he placed
his hit he was advanced on a clever
bunt by Stouch. Leahy sent him to
third by another single and the pitcher
Evans walked up To the bat as IL he
thought a pitcher had as much right
TO swat the ball as anybody and he
whacked out another hit. on which
Crisham scored the. first run. Evans
was forced out at second base when
Lynch hit the ball. but Leahy reached
third and Lynch beat the ball to first
base and quickly stole second. Walters
then batted both of them home, making
a run OF three tailies for the Grays.
That ended the run-getting Of the home
team. The Ottawas just escaped a
whitewash by scoring one run yin the
ninth on Bonner's home run.
Egan pitched for Providence and Can
non for Ottawa in the second contest.
The visitors scored In the first and
fourth innings and had the lead at the
sixth when Crisham sent a fly over
Horizons head in right field for three
bases and Leahy put another fly over
McHale's head in the left field for an
other three bases. sEgan batted in
Leahy and Providence was once more
ahead. In the same inning the Otta-
was tied the score. and but for fine
work with the bases filled they would
have done more. In the three succeed
ing innings the Grays secured six runs
while the visitors scored only one. The
