 the Injured.

the Injured.
 Boston, Aug. 21.--Fifteen ambulances
 awaited the arrival of the train at the
 Park Square station which brought the injured from the scene of the railroad wreck at sharon. Six were from the police department, four from the city hospital, two from the Emergency hos pital and one from the Massachusetts | general hospital. A crowd of fully 5000 people had assembled by the time the tlrst train from the wreck arrived and a force of fifty policemen was sent to keep them from crowding down bn to the tracks.
 Lined up on the platform were four teen stretchers, with their white pill lows and crimson blankets, ready for l the reception of the injured. Thirty hospital attendants and a number of | surgeons were also on hand. Father John O'Brien, of the Gate of Heaven | church, who was in the vicinity. Quite
 number of the patients were taken in I charge but the great number were talk
 en to their homes.
 1 Daniel McCann, an express mesSen-

 eating a man who was pinned between
 the engines headplate and the flooring
 of the telescoped car Just in front of
 the prisoner lay his wife, crushed and bleeding, and he unable to move hand
 or foot to help her. The woman died | in few moments. Steam was rising
 as in Turkish bath. The heat from
 the escaping steam was intense, MT
 McCann said, and many people were i slightly burned, though in their heroic
 endeavor to assist the injured, the 1 workers did not notice it.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING GO
MERRITT GETS $500, ,OoO.
Found In the Spanish Treasury n
 Manila-The Rebels.

London, Aug. 22.-The Manila corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph in & dispatch dated Sunday says: General Merritt has proclaimed government of military occupation. The news of the armistice arrived on the 18th. It is feared the Americans may restore the Philippines to Spain and thus re-inaug- urate fresh period of tyranny. extor- tion and rebellion. The Spanish guar antees for freedom of the press and re- liion and for just administration are useless unless under foreign supervi- sion.
 "The Americans found $s00,O0O in the Spanish treasury. The unfinished mes- sage which I sent you last Saturday was dispatched while street firing was still proceeding. This proved to be the solitary incident. It arose from the fact that the Spaniards In the suburbs were not aware that the surrender had occurred. A week ago there appeared to be possibility of collision with the rebels, but there is no danger now. Everything is quiet.''

SITUATION AT MANILA.
Escape of Augustin and the American
 Loss ss-Troublesome Insurgents.

Escape Of Augustin and the American
 Loss ssTroublesome Insurgents.
 Hong Kong, Aug. 21.-Officers of the steamer China from Manila, which has arrived here, report that it was evident that the resistance of the Spaniards, when Manila was attacked by the Americans was merely nominal and was made solely to maintain the honor of Spain. The officers talked with ex- press the belief that the escape of Gov ernor General Augustin was pre-ar- ranged and was well understood by Ad- miral Dewey.
 A dispatch from Manila dated August IS says the total number of killed on the American side during the attack upon and capture of Manila was forty six and of the wounded about 100. The Spanish losses were 200 killed and 400 wounded. The fire of the Americans did practically no damage to the town or to the n-combatants. The Ameri- cans had considerable difficulty in keep ing the insurgents out of the city, only admitting those who were without weapons. Five insurgents were shot while footing in Tondo. An insurgent officer became involved In a quarrel with a Spaniard in the escolta, in the Binondo suburb, during which the Spaniard fired upon the insurgent, in- flicting wounds in the latter's legs. The Spaniard was arrested and imprisoned.
 General Merritt has issued a procla- nation decreeing that the provisional government and the local authorities shall retain their offices and that ev- erything shall remain unchanged for the present, except So far as the su- preme Jurisdiction is concerned. The proclamation further declares that any native who resists the present author ities shall be treated as a law breaker. General Jaudenes in the course of an in- terview with the representative Of the Associated Press said he knew the fight was a hopeless one. but that he intend- ed to resist the Americans in the name of honor, and he was persuaded to sur render for the sake of the non-comban- ants. He eulogized the Americans for the humanity they have shown.
 The last official act of General Jaude- nes was to fine journalist for speak ing the truth. The general requested the correspondent to state that he loy- ally done his best for the country. He had thrice been punished. He fought bravely as a volunteer, had been cap- tured and released, and, further, was ready to fight again, but was utterly disgusted with a government and na- tion which tolerates and welcomes the Americans" Serious trouble is threat ened by the insurgents because they were prevented from having their own way. They assert that they are able to render the islands untenable for anybody.

MUCH ANXIETY IN MADRID.
The Philippine Question Likely to
 Create Serious Diff culttes.

London, Aug. 22-The Times corre-
 spondent in Madrid says: Much anxi-
 ety is felt by the government in regard
 to the Philippine question, which is
 likely to create serious difficulties. On
 this subject very little guidance is af-
 forded by the studiously vague terms
 employed in the protocol. These words
 have been carefully examined with the aid of all available dictionaries, not
 only by the Spanish ministers, but also
 by the diplomatic representatives of several foreign powers and all seem to
 agreed that in drafting this part of the
 protocol President McKinleys aim was simply to keep free hand for himself until he should have time to collect in- formation and decide what policy the United States should adopt in the far East.
 All possible questions regarding the future of the archipelago are thus left open; and both government and public opinion seem in doubt as to what line shall be taken by Spain in the forth coming negotiations. Much will depend
 on the attitude assumed by the United States, and, consequently, the conflict
 ing currents of American public opin-
 ion are watched here with the keenest interest. The attitude of the powers having far eastern interests is much speculated upon. The ministers still declare that official dispatches respect ing the equalization of Manila have not
 been received. Therefore, the Angus tin incident is unexplained. Mail ad- vices confirm the transference of ad-
 ministrative authority from General Augustin to the governor of the Visa yas Islands.
 The Heraldo of Iloilo of June 21 pub fishes an official telegram from the min- ister of war, Lieutenant General Cor req, investing General Rios with all the attributes and power exercised by the captain general of the archipelago in all the islands under his command Gen. eral Augustfn, therefore, even if he had remained in Manila had, in the opinion of the Spanish government, no right to surrender anything but the city and its immediate suburbs. Fuller informa- ton ought very soon to be available.

CHALLENGE FOR AMERrcA'S CUP.
Hon. Charles Russell Arrives With It. A Thoroughly Irish Yacht.

Quebec, Aug. 21--The Hon. Charles Russell, son of Lord Russell of Kill lowan, is here, the bearer of challenge from Ireland to all yachtsmen in Amer ica for the America's cup. MT. Russell arrived in Quebec Friday and is the guest of Solicitor General Charles Fitz- patrick. He will leave tomorrow for New York, where he will be the guest of Hon. Bourke Cochran. The chal- lenge comes directly from Sir Thomas Upton and MT. Russell is very confi- dent that the details of the event will be speedily arranged. To a reporter he said: "The desire to challenge for the cup is not a new idea with Sir Thomas Lipton. Twelve years ago he made the proposition to the Cork Yacht club to challenge with an Irish yacht, but at that time there were difficulties in the way and the contest was not brought about"
 What is his motive for issuing the challenge at this timer"
 Sir Thomas view is this: England and Scotland have had repeated oppor- tunities to compete for the trophy and have failed, but Ireland has had no chance. He thinks Ireland should no longer remain the Cinderella of the family, and, in yachting at any rate, should take her proper place among the nations of the earth The yacht will be built in Ireland and she is to be called the Shamrock. Her crew will be Irish and she is to be built In the yards of Harland & Wolf Belfast. The Right Hon. w. J. Pierre, the chief partner, is taking the very keenest per- sonal interest in the matter. His firm are the builders of the White Star lin- CTS. Yes, have heard that a certain class of the yachting men of England are opposed to this challenge, but this disapproval probably comes from the fact that there are no conditions at- tached to it by Sir Thomas to cover the difficulties which arose in former con- tests. I have no means of knowing if these rumors have any foundation. l can only say in that regard, that Sir Thomas Lipton would always refuse tC take any such course. The question of conditions has never caused us a mo- ment's anxiety. Both Sir Charles Lip ton and myself know the gentlemen we have to meet too well to let such a matter trouble us We know we have to deal with gentlemen and sportsmen whose only desire will be to see a fair fight"

 The question of the personnel of the peace commission has not yet been defi- nitely decided. The government is dis pleased with the attitude of Captain Generals Macias and Blanco. The lat ter has again positively declined to pre- side over the evacuation of Cuba. The captain general of the Canary islands was removed owing to his failing to agree with the war minister's arrange ments regarding the disposition of the troops.
 The Catalan party in Barcelona is waiting for the creation of an admins trative provincial council, offering to pay the state 2O,000000 pesetas annually for the privilege of autonomy.

 Home-To be Mustered Out,


 Detroit, Mich, Aug. M.-Detroit citi- zens to-day welcomed home the Michi- gan naval reserves who served throughout the war on the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite. On alighting from the train they were met by one of the largest crowds ever seen in Detroit. The revenue cutter Fessenden fired salute of welcome, all the steamers on the river and the locomotive whistles chining in with shrill blasts. Amid the cheers of thousands, the reserves and a military escort paraded through the principal streets. It was a veritable triumphal procession. Windows were filled and crowds waited to cheer the first of Michigan's returning heroes. After being reviewed by party of off, cials and friends, the men were dis missed and went home.

i COMMITTEE PREPARING TN-
 STRUCTIONS FOR THEM,

Attention to be Called to Distinction Between Cesston of Territory and Ces- sion of sovercignty-Buildin and Public Works, 1t Seems to he Main- tained, Remain Property of the Sow eretgn Power Uatil Paid for by New Government.
 London, Aug. 22.-The Times corre- spondent in Madrid says: A committee composed of Duke Almodovar de Rio, the foreign minister; Senor Romero Gi- ron, minister of the colonies; Lieuten- ant General Correa, minister of war, and Captain Aunon, minister of ma rine, is preparing instructions for the Cuban and Porto Rican commissioners, which will be dispatched on August 31 so as to arrive within the time fixed by the protocol. In these instructions at- tention will be called to the distinction between cession of territory and cession of sovereignty. In the latter case it seems to be maintained here that build- ings and public works remain the prop erty of the sovereign power until they are paid for by the new government.
 Certain members of the cabinet are of the opinion that the commission will have first of all to determine some legal
 
 ing the transitional period until the evacuation is completed. Meanwhile the government will probably call the attention of the cabinet at Washington to the fact that, while the insurgent leaders profess to accept the armistice their subordinates continue to carry or hostilities against outlying Spanish garrisonS.
