Roadmaster Lyons Killed and Sew
eral LabOrers Injured.
A Fire Causes a Most Disastrous cave-In
Of Timbers and Rocks.
JOE. sHoRr BROUGHT IN TO HOSPITAL.

Special to The Citizen.
Williams. Arizona, jan. 1S.-The roof
ing in the tunnel caught fire from the
eDaFks OF passenger engine on Sunday
last.
A force OF men were quickly dispatched
from this city under FOremen Parker and
Matthews.
They fought the flames all night. up to
2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when with
out warning q mass OF charred timbera
and rocks came falling down among the
men.
Everyone fed for their lives, but when
the gang reached the entrance 10 the
tunnel IL was seen az once that several OF
the party had not escaped, among them
being Foreman Matthews and Road
master Pat. Lyons, who had only ar.
rived few minutes before.
The smoke being 80 dense, the men
were considerably hindered In their pro-
gress, but finally reached the bodies Of
two OF the laborers.
Returning, the body OF Lyons was
found ent0mbed In the mass OF debris. He
was extrieated after considerable diff
iculty. He was seriously Injured and
lived hut short time.
Returning, the men found Foreman
Matthews body In another heap. He
was nearly s1ffocated by the dense smoke.
He was found TO be seriously injured.
Matthews and the lab0rers were
brought TO this city TO receive medical
attendance.
Matthews was taken TO his residence In
this city and rested easy last night. He
will be taken 10 Albuquerque on No. 2
to-day.
Division Superintendent Hibbard and
Foreman Parker were not two feet away
from Lyons when the debris came thund-
ering down and narrowly escaped with
their lives.
That more were not killed Ia simply a
miracle, as nearly fifty men were In the
tunnel at the time.
The passengers and the mails were
transferred around the tunnel.
Traffic will be delayed several days;
In the meantime the trains will be run
over the Southern Pacific via. Tucson and

PROsPEcTORs RETURN.

Albuquerqueans Penetrate n wild and
Uninhabited section Of Mexico.
Geo. Ediok, Of this city, who left about
two months ago 10 accompany party OF
prospectors into the wilds OF Old Mexico.
returned home last night, and has some
interesting stories 10 tell Of the expert
ences OF the party, which contained an
other Albuquerquean In the person OF X.
B. Myers. The country explored, In the
heart OF the Sierra Madres, and lying
In the states OF chihuahua and Sonora,
was declared TO DO the roughest imagin-
able, but full OF game and anely tim
bered, and at the same time very desolate
and uninhabited. The prospectors, with
their pack train OF burros, penetrated 10
parts OF the country hitherto unyisited
by Americans. and were rewarded Tor
their labor by discovering rich gold
quartz and some silver lodges that will,
IN their estimation. compare with any In
the country. A short conversation with
Mr.. Edick will convince any one OF
the wonderful richness OF the country
visited. All that Is now needed 10 the
completion and extension OF the railroad
now under construction 10 Casas Grandes
and 10 the south and west, and there will
bean exodus equal TO that 10 Klondike.

SPAIN may appeal to ITS GLORIOUS
history for inspiration in this
struggle, but this will not put off for
single hour the date of its over
throw. Spain may cry out in piping
fHlsetto that its "honor' will not
allow it to give up Cuba, but the
days Of Spain's misgovernment in
Cuba are near their end, 1t is said
that Spain's army in Cuba numbers,
counting those in the hospitals, 100,
600 or 10000 men. Not soldier of
this force will ever see Spain until he
goes out disarmed and discounted as
an American prisoner of war. Dark
threats emanate from the Madrid
press that Weyler is to be sent to
Cuba to supersede Blanco, but al
though the United States, for purely
selfish reasons, would like TO see the
poltroon and blunderer Weyler back
in command in Cuba, it knows, and
Weyler knows, that the Spanish flag
will have been torn down and cast
out of Cuba before he gets chance
TO see the island again.
