Badly Wrecked.

OF the wreck on the IS. P, which
occurred Monday, the Tucson Star
says:
"a wreck occurred at:Red Rock, q
station on the Southern Pac ic "a
miles west of this place, at about 3
o'clock yesterday morning, and that
several people were not killed outright
can be attributed, sheer good luck, or
whatever you have "a mind to call
1t.
"a freight was standing on q siding
facing east, waiting for the west bound
passenger to pass. The switch was
thrown so as to allow the coming train
to pass, but in some manner the switch
was in such position that the passenger
train instead of going on westward en-
tered the siding and dashed into the
waiting freight. The engine of the
freight was near the switch when the
accident occurred and the engineer of
the oncoming train hardly had time to
think much less reverse his engine.
1.-The damage consisted in the almost
total destruction of both engines, the
total destruction of two freiget cars
and mail car pretty well smashed up
"The engineer of the passenger was
slightly hurt and the fireman seriously,
although not dangerously injured. The
mail gent was slightly hurt but not
enough to interfere with his duties for
any length of time"

Interesting News Expected Soon.

interesting News Expected soon.
Washington, May 10 1T Is hard
to tell whether the naval officials
were relieved or disappointed by the
news thatfame late this afternoon to
both the Navy and State Depart
ments to the effect.that the Spanish
flying squadron had arrived at Cadiz
Spain. The safety Of the Oregon
from attack is now completely as
sured and the way is clear for military
operations in Cuba without running
the risk of having the occupying
army's line of communication cut off
On the other hand, it is believed
that no enduring peace can be secured
until the Spanish navy has been de-
stroyed, and 1t now appears that to
do this our sailors must make up their
minds to go after the Spaniards, a
task much more difficult than that
of meeting them near our own shores.
Madrid, May 9.-Noon-The dis
order in the Spanish provinces is in
creasing. Riots have broken, out at
Linares, Cadiz and Alicante, and the
troubles are expected to spread to
parts of the country which have
hitherto been quiet.
Martial law has been proclaimed
in the provinces of Albacete and Jaen.

We have placed the track and grounds un-
