FRENCH GUNBOAT HELD UP
a Number of Shots Necessary to
Make Her Understand.

Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press)
Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
July ia French gunboat of about
1000 tons displacement attempted to
come into the harbOr about dusk last
night without permission and met with
a surprise party. The cruiser Marble
head fired a blank shot as the gunboat
came into the entrance to the harbOr,
but no attention was paid to this, and
a shot from a six FOUNDER was sent
across her bows. This, too, was dis
regarded, the gunbOat coming along
under full steam.
For few minutes it looked as II a
row was possible. The trumpets on the
Marblehead rang out a call to quar-
ters and another shot was sent across
the Frenchman's bows, this time In I'M
comfortable proximity. That warning
was sufficient, however, and the French
man stopped with extreme suddennesS.
It is against naval custom for a war
vessel of one nation to enter a port
which vessels of another nation are
blockading unless permission is grant
ed. The captain of the French gunboat
was either in ignorance of the Amer1-
can occupation or chose to disregard
it until forcibly reminded of the fact by
Commander McCa1la- The gunboat was
allowed to anchor in the lower harbor
for the night.

the Peoria and Helena were struck sew
eral times, but no one on either ship
was injured. As they Withdrew several
buildings on shore were in flames.
That afternoon both ships again turn
ed their attention to the fort and the
entertainments at the mouth of the
Tallaboca river and for half an hour
poured a wicked fire upon them. The
Spaniards had been largely reinforced
during the day and some field pieces
had been mounted near the fort. These
replied to the American fire but with
out effect and the shells of the two
ships speedily silenced them. That
night the Spaniards burned a large
wharf and the adjacent buildings evil
IDENTIFY expecting a landing in force next
day.
It was determined to proceed during
the night with the landing expedition
to PalO Alto, fifty miles to the east
ward, the Helena remaining at Las
Tunas to confirm the Spaniards in the
belief that an attempt was to be made
to land there. At 10 o'clock Saturday,
July 2, while the Helena lay off shore
making lively play with her search
lights toward shore, the Peoria, the
Florida and the Fanita, all with lights
not Spaniard to be seen when they
reached PalO Alto at daybreal, and the
men and cargo were put ashore with
out a single obstacle.
Gomez, with 1000 men, was known to
be in the vicinity and scouts hurried
to his lines. On Monday, July f. the
grizzled old warrior appeared in person
at PaIo Alto. An awning was spread
over the end of the abandoned wharf
and q. conference was held.
The veteran chief said
he was greatly pleased at the success
full result of the expedition which he
thought would exercise an important
influence upon the war. He outlined
plan of campaign which he later sub
mitted in writing to Lieutenant Ryan
for transmission to President Mckinley.
When winthrop Chanler fell wounded
Doctors Lund and Abbott carried him
into the brush, and all three sank up
to their necks in a swamp. DR.. Lund,
who was a, German army surgeon, and
who is a. giant in strength, managed to
extricate himself, stripped off his
clothes, and swan naked in darkness
to find the ships. A boat from the Flor
ida picked him up and he was taken
to the Peoria AS the strange figure
cIambered up the ladders, the sentry
on guard at the gangway challenged
him. but Mr. Lund brushed past him
and strobe in all his nakedness up to
Lieutenant Ryan, gave the customary
formal salute and, with the utmost
gravity, said:
4 have to report that the men ashore
require assistance"
When ChanIer and Abbott were
rescued they were still in the water up

Santa Fe Puts CycIOmeters ON
Engines.
Speed Indicator is John Play
er's Invention.
LAWRENCE is PLEASED
With the Painting and Papering
of Depot.
Rio Grande Western Will Reach
the Coast.
LAWRENCE is PLEASED

The latest additional Improvement to the
already well equipped Santa Fe engines
is a new mechanical device which has re-
Gently been invented by Superintendent OF
Machinery Player.
1t is an indicator Of speed, pounds Of
steam in boiler and consumed, and also
the amount of water which is on hand
and used in steam. It is the first of its
kind and is now undergoing a trial run
on engine No. 50. This engine has re-
Gently been rebuilt and is especially adapt
ed for the fast mail run, which makes the
fastest time of any train on the Santa
Fe system. 1t was formerly engine No
Jos which was considered one of the best
engines on the road It is fitted with all
the latest improvements and has the new
cylinder valves and air brakes on the
tank and engine trucks. The new indica-
tor is attached on the right side OF the
engine.
In a trial run on an exceptionally fine
strip of road between Cedar Grove and
Strong City a speed of 80 miles per hour
was indicated by the new device.

GOING TO THE COAST.
Rio Grande Western Plans Much for
the Future.

Denver, July 15-According to the pres
ent plans the Rio Grande Western rail-
road is to become one OF the greatest rail
way systems in the world. The idea has
been formulated by Colonel d. c. Dodge.
general manager of the road, to extend
It's line from Ogden to the Pacific coast,
and south through California, with a pos
sibility of its being extended into Mex
leo.
The only proviso which enters into the
arrangement is that the United States be-
come possessed of the Philippine islands,
and since it is virtually assured that those
islands are to be added to Americas do
main there appears to be no doubt that
the plan viii be. carried out. The COM
merce which will result from the annexa-
ton of the Philippines, reaching this
country by way of the Pacific coast, will
increase traffic to such an extent that
railroading throughout the length and
breadth of the United tSates Will receive
wonderful impetus. There will be many
times more business crossing the CONT
nent than can be handled by the roads
with their present facilities and thus of
necessity these facilities viii have to be
increased prOpOrtiOnately. One of the first
extensions resulting from Admiral Dewey's
conquest will be made by the Rio Grande

MIDLAND IS RESPONSIBLE
Must Remunerate hio Grande For the
Collision Last September.

Denver, Col, July 15.-Justice Brewer. of
the United States supreme court, sitting
with Judge Caldwell Of the circuit court
announced the courts decision placing up
on the Colorado Midland Railroad COM
pany the responsibility for the collision
between a Denver & Rio Grande passen-
ger train and a Midland cattle train on
September 10 last, by which a score or
more of passengers We're killed.
In a verbal opinion taking three-quarterS
of an hour in delivery. the report as rem
dered by John H. Knaebel, special master
in chancery, appointed by the court to
take the testimony and consider both sides
OF the controversy, was sustained.
The effect of the decision is to make it
the duty of the Colorado Midland road to
reimburse the Rio Grande for all losses
that the latter has sustained or that may
be proved against it hereafter arising from
the wreck 1t also establishes a lien up
on all the property of the Colorado Mid
land to secure the payment of the same.
The principal contention of the Colorado
Midland company was that the RESPONSE
bility ought to be joint for the reason that
both trains were, at the time of the col
lision upon a track jointly used and I'M
der orders as to the movements given by
a joint superintendent.
Justice. Brewer held that the fault was
not in the orders, but in the manner Of
their execution by the Midland train crew.

SALIVA TAKES ONE.
Topeka Lost First Glass Game by
Unfortunate Errors.


Salinas reorganized base ball team
won from Topeka in this city yesterday
by the score of to 1. Topeka made a
run in the first and Salina one in the
second inning and from then until the
eighth inning it was a battle royal be-
tween the pitchers.
In the eighth Cooper got to first and
ROthemel hit to Nichols. Nichols field
ed the ball in sufficient time for a
double and threw to Griffin at second
who dropped it, while Cooper kept on
toward third. Griffin recovered it and
threw to GatewOOd and Cooper found
himself between bases with the whole
Topeka infield after his scalp. At the
critical moment ThieI managed to muff
and Cooper stayed on third a moment
and came in on a safe hit, winning the
game on errors.
For Topeka AL Nichols, who has al
ways been a favOrite here, pitched one
of the best games of the season. His
record was no bases on balls, one man
hit and seven struck out. Cooper, for
Salina, struck out four, hit two and
gave two bases on balls. In tomorrow's
game Eyler will pitch for Topeka.
The first run made by Salina was
recorded on what was certainly a foul
hit ball. The umpiring was as usual,
very unsatisfactory to both teams.

HAToRED EN- ROUTE.
Railroad Loses Suit for Freight on
Chickens.

ct remember the first chicken train
started in the west" said a conductor
whose memory runneth back to the time
when the prairies knew no railroads. 4
viii not give the name of the road, for
the reason you viii see when the story is
done.
Some enterprising people got together
and started a chicken train to run from
country districts to the Kansas City mar
ket The train started out in western
Kansas somewhere and stopped along at
stations to take on chickens. They were
taken on, and when the train reached
Kansas City the bills called for some 200
chickens.
Some mistake said the agent. as he
went over the car load. Here's over 800
all told, about 800 pullets.'
There was a good big fuss raised by
the railroad because the shippers cheated
by saying 200 instead of 500 The case
How did they lose, you say2 Why. the
shippers proved that the train ran so slow
that the eggs laid had been Matched out
and that the 300 pullets were raised on
the train
