Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. IA special to

Train No. on the New York, On
tario and Western Railroad, known as
"The Chicago Limited" was wrecked
at Ingalls, Crossing four miles south of
this village, at five o'clock this morn

the dastardly work of tramps, who thre "
open the switch at which the train was
wrecked, as we'll us two switches to
the north of the wreck. The train was
an hour and a quarter late and running
nearly sixty miles an hour when it struck
the switch and was thrown over to the
side track. The rapid speed made it inn
possible to make Il sharp turn, and the
train left the track when it struck the
safety rail. The engine was thrown
twenty feet and blown to pieces. The
tender was inverted. The trucks of
the baggage car were torn off and the
head coach telescOped the baggage car.
A YcStibuled chair car and the sleeper
Farragut were deraied but neither was
badly damaged. Engineer Dowd and
fireman Hall both jumped and were
found under the wreckage of the tender
by passengers from the sleeper. Both
were alive at the time but DOwd died
in a few minutes and Hall succumbed
to his injuries three hours later The

to escort General Shafter into camp
when he should land.
General Shafter and his staff Were
landed from the City OF Mexico shortly
before ] o'clock at FLOATING Dock some
distance from the quarantine pier. The
coming ashore OF the commander and his
staff was unexpected. General Wheeler
had the cavalry escort drawn up at the

General Shafter was ashore ordered the

fus Grows.
Paris, September 1.-The Dreyfus
case presents no new features, but there
is plentiful supply of rumors. The
first of these is that Dreyfus is dead
no letters having been received from
him for some weeks
Another report is that General Bois
deffre. who has just resigned the post
of chief Of the general staff, has com.
mittcd suicide. Both these rumors are
undoubtedly without foundation.
Colonel Du Patty du Clam is on a va
cation trip in Switzerland, and there
is no foundation of the statement OF
La Patrie that he had been arrested
for completely in the Henry forgery.
General Gouse assistant chief of the
general staff, who rendered his resigna
tion yesterday to NJ. Cavaignac, Minister
for War, has been persuaded to with
draw il, and his retirement under the
age list will occur next month. Th,
lull in news, however, has in no way
diminished the popular excitement.
Speculation is keenest over the mo
tives for Lieutenant Colonel Henry,
suicide.
The traditions of the intelligence de
partment, which at the time Of tn,
condemnation Of Dreyfus, was under
conspicuous anti-Semite, Colonel Sand
herr. would probably have led blunt
mind like Lieutenant Colonel Henry's Il
construe the slightest hint from above
of the desirability of killing off the anti
DrcyfuS agitation into an order to do st
by amy means.
Colonel Sandherr, who was then suf
fering from incipient paralysis, seems tC
have been the head of Il general con
spiracy to hunt Jewish officers out OF
the French army.
The carelessness of the authorities il
allowing Henry to have Il razor, and il
not watching him is generally interpret
ed as cOnnivance. Had Henry been eX
PEELED from the army, both himself anC
wife would have lost all pension rights
AS ii is the widow becomes emitted tC

The governments position is most un
happy. Notice of interpretations in the

efforts are being made to get the sigma
lures of majority of the Deputies
which is necessary preliminary to ;
convocation of the Chamber.
The movement in favor of a revision
in the Dreyfus case is growing by leaps
and bounds. Considering recent events
Major Count Walsin Esterhazy retains
an amazingly cool attitude.
In the course of an interview yes
terday. he said Henry's death was re
grettable, "bccause, doubtless, he ha(
other revelations to make.
Count Esterhazy intends to appea
against his enforced retirement from
active service in the army.

MOVING FOR A NEW TRIAL.
Dreyfus May Yet be Freed and Justice
Done.

Paris, Sept. lit is reported that thc
Minister of Justice NJ. Sarien. has
taken steps to grant Captain Dreyfus
a re-trial La Patrie, announced today
that Colonel Patty du Clam has been ar
rested for completely in the Dreyfus for
gerry.
1t is now insinuated that the suicide
of Lieutenant Colonel Henry, the chief OF
the intelligence department of the French
Ministry for War was connived
at by the French army authorities 1t is
recalled that similar opportunity to
commit suicide was afforded to Dreyfus
who, however, declined to profit by it.
1t appears that the Minister for War
NJ. Cavaignac, is convinced that Colonel
Henry had accomplices in the forgery on
the discriminating document. Colonel
Henry left letters addressed to the Min
lister for War and General Doisdeffre
in which he protested that he had not
realized the gravity of the act which
ne committed 'solely for the good of the
cause"
The Minister for War this afternoon
received in audience General Renouard
director of the Military college. who has
accepted the office of chief of the gen
eral staff, vacant owing to the resigna-
tion of General Boisdeffre. The latter
bid farewell to the officials Of his bureau
this morning.

BROOKE WILL GO TO SAN JUAN.
There to Meet Schley and Gordon, the
Coming Commissioners.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Sept. General
Brooke, yesterday, notified Captain Gen
eral Macias, the Spanish commander at
San Juan de Porto Rico, under flag of
truce carried to the Spanish lines by Col
onel Goethal, that Rear Admiral Schley
and General Gordon, the American Por-
to Rican commissioners, had sailed for
San Juan from New York on the steamer
Seneca. At the same time General
Brooke, who is also a member of the
commission, asked if there was any OBJ
lection to his proceeding overland, with
an escort. Major Jose Reyes, of the
Spanish army, brought the reply of Gen
eral Macias today. 1t was sent<by wire
and said there were no objections. Con
sequently General Brooke has arranged
to leave on Friday or Saturday. with his
staff and escorted by troop III, of the
Sixth cavalry, and Captain Pitchers
Company of the Eighth infantry.
Several stone culverts between here
and the Spanish works. on the crest Gf
the mountains. which have been blown
up, will be repaired tomorrow by Colonel
Cocktails engineers. The colonel has eX-
amined the Spanish Notifications. He
says they are marvellously strong and
that he could have held back the strong
est army in Europe with 800 men against
an assault in front. The Spaniards had
trenches and two guns. All but Il hun'
dred of the six hundred men stationed
there have returned TO San Juan.

AN X-MAYOR'S THIEVERY

EMBfZZLED.

prated Various Sums from The Wor.

Bath, Maine, Sept. Tx Mayor Fritz
nent citizens, and a member of Governor
Powers Council, and well known in bust.
ness circles in Maine and Massachusetts,
is confessed embeZzler. The amount
of the embezzlement is placed ut 100000.
1t is alleged that for the past fourteen or
fifteen years, during which time Mr..
TwitchelI has been connected with the
Worumbo Wooden Manufacturing Com
pany, various sums have been appropriate
ed by him. These amounts were charged
to the expense account so that the busi.
ness had not become involved at any
time. When confronted with the evi-
dence, Mr. Twitchell acknowledged his
guilt. but it is thought no prosecution
will follow, as the one most deeply in
volved is Galen $. Moses, treasu 1i
the mills, who is inclined to treat the mat
ter as one of personal wrong rather than
an instance of criminal intent. Mr.
Twitchell. who is at his summer home al
Popham Beach, is in very poor health
He refuses to discuss the situation. The
disclosures i'll the case were precipitated
by the personal assignment of Mr.. Moses
which was announced Tuesday, and il
which Mr.. Moses himself says more than
100000 worth of property is involved.
Mr.. Twitchell was chosen Mayor in
1891, and 1892. He was sent to the Leg
islature in 1893 and 1895, and this year
he was selected member of the execu
tive council. He has been grand com
mander of the Masonic commandery o1
Maine and is past grand chancellor OF
the Knights of Pythias.

THE Red Cross and other nurses did

was never any real scarcity of food in

When told that it had been denieo

AT Santiago, General Shafter said 1t was
nonsense. as there was yellow fever
there and the doctors in Santiago, who
knew it like a book said it was yellow

Santiago was on the mend, the General
said. and the sanitary measures taken
by the Americans were having good eff

some uneasiness yesterday as to the

beating war drums and displaying bat
tie bunting. The Montmorcncy troop
emptied a few Dervish saddles, and
three gunboats steamed up the river III
front Of the town and shelled the Der

distinctly seen. The army is moving
