Active War PRESENTATIONS.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 90. To-day was
devoid of rumors in the Spanish
American situation. The excitement
which has prevailed in Washing
ton for the past week was scarcely
noticeable and the government officials
and congressman have resumed their
daily routine, satisfied to wait until
the official investigation of the Maine
disaster shall be concluded before
forming an opinion as to the cause.
In the meantime the war and navy de-
partments are continuing their activ-
ity in placing the defenses of the coun-
try in good condition in the event of
war.
The Disaster Declared Accidental
New YORK, Feb. %. "A dispatch to
the New York World from Madrid
saws:
The Spanish admiral commanding at Havana
telegraphs that the Spanish official investiga-
tion into thu catastrophe to the Maine has ter
minated and that the first exploration made by
official divers has shown up to the present that
the disaster was quite accidental and not pro-
duced by an exterior cause. Premier Sagasta
conveyed the telegram to the palace and the
queen regent expressed satisfaction on hearing
the result of the investigation. The queen will
give an audience at once to United States Min
lister WoodfOrd, who will convey the thanks
conveyed by President Mckinley for her con :
dolence.

the following special from Washing

posion with the knowledge of Span
ish officials, President Mckinley will
demand an indemnity of from $4,000
600 to SIS, 900, 600. This statement was

COMPLICATIONS MAY ARISE

Unless Mexican Authorities Release an
American Prisoner. Illegally Held.
A Washington special says: The
state department is making strong
efforts to secure the release Of the
American, Temple, who is in a Mexi
can Jail on the charge Of murder com
mitted in the United States, and II
has instructed Mr.. Powell Clayton,
United States minister to Mexico, tc
address himself directly to the Ameri.
can foreign office on that subject. The
principle involved in the case is re-
.garded Of the highest Importance, fol-
IL Temple is held for trial by the Mex.
lean authorities it will amount to an
admission on the part of the United
States OF the right of Mexico to exer-
cise extra territorial jurisdiction over
American soil.
Substantially the same claim was in
volved in the celebrated Cutting case,
which came near causing breach Of
friendly relations, and it arose again
in the more recent case Of Leonard
Pacheo. Cutting was released by the
Mexican government only after trial.
Pacheo was released, but not on our
demand, and in no case has the Mexi-
can government surrendered it's view
that 1t had q right to try a person In
Mexico for an offense committed in
the United States. Cutting was in
Jail for several months and Pacheo TO,
two years.
1t is not at all probable that any
such delay will be permitted in the
Temple case.
On Sunday last James Temple, a
conductor on the Mexico and Arizona
railroad, was attacked by some Mexi-
cans and in defending himself shot
one of them at Juan Arvalla fatally.
This occurred about 1900 feet north
of the international boundary line.

FIGHT AGAINST ALL.COTTON.

Alabama Agricultural Commission Will
Recommend New Modes,
Commissioner OF Agriculture Culver
Of Alabama has announced that he will
in a day or two issue call to the
farmers OF Alabama for o meeting to
be held in Montgomery on December
for the purpose Of devising ways
and means for the improvement Of
breeds OF cattle in the state.
Major Culver says that the low price
OF cotton makes It necessary for the
farmers to change their mode Of farm
ing. He thinks that Texas, Indian
Territory and Oklahoma will in the
near future gather some 5000. 600 or
1000, 900 bales OF cotton annually, and
that Alabama, Georgia, Tenn essee and
the Carolinas will have to abandon the
all-cotton system and 60 at something
else.

SPANIARDs ASK DELAY.
No Meeting OF the Peace Commission was
Held Monday.

A Paris special says: There was no
Joint sessions OF the peace commits.
sions Monday. Secretary Moore, Of
the United States commission, re.
ceived from Secretary Ojeda, of the
Spanish commission, noto saying
that the Spanish commissioners had
found it impossible to prepare their
memorandum for presentation, and
asking il the United States commits
sioners would be Inconvenience IL,
owing to the late arrival from Madrid
OF expected data, the Spaniards would
request that the next meeting be de.
terred until Wednesday.
Secretary Moore replied that the
American commissioners were quite
ready to accommodate the Spanish
commissioners in this matter, and the
Joint session was deferred until Wed.
nesday.
Importance was attached to this de-
lay, it being regarded as indicating
that the Spanish commissioners are
preparing for a final stand in the me-
gotiations and it may be now definite
ly stated that they will not sign a
treaty which yields to Spain no more
for the Philippine islands than has
thus far been offered or indicated by
the Americans.
Should the latter announce that the
United States is only willing to reim-
burse Spain for her pacific expenses in
the Philippine islands, the Spanish
commissioners will reply that their
mission is finished. Should this
occur 1t is possible the Spaniards will
also suggest suspension Of negotia-
tons through the commission and the
resumption Of negotiations between
Madrid and Washington.
The attitude Of the Spaniards is eI-
planned by the fact that the members
OF the Spanish commission have polit.
ical alliances and personal RESPONSE
bilities to constituencies and the ma.
tional creditors Of Spain which re-
strict them to certain lines, which il
as far as the ministry at Madrid care
to 90.

DOZEN killed N WRECK
DISASTROUS COLLISION CAUSED
BY A MISPLACED SWITCH.
TWO TRAINS UTTERLY DEMOLISHED
A Fearful Scene Of Death and Disaster 1t
Murray Hiil Crossing Near
trenton, Ontario.

A Grand Trunk express train bound
for Toronto, Ontario, crashed into
moving freight train near Murray
Hill crossing, two miles west OF Tren-
ton at $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday morning
and several cars were smashed almost
10 splinters.
80 far as known twelve persons were
killed and half as many more seriously
injured.
A misplaced switch was the cause Of
the accident, the west-bound taking
the wrong track, on which was the
east.bound freight. The train con-
sisted Of express, mail and baggage
cars, Q second -class car, one first-class
coach and two Pullman sleepers. The
second. class car was next to the bag.
gage car and ahead OF the frst-class
coach and sleepers. 1t was pretty
we'll filled with people, there being
twenty or more passengers in 1t, and
hardly any OF them escaped without
injury.
Between Bellville and Murray Hill
crossing the road Is single.tracked,
the only piece of single track between
Toronto and Montreal. At Murray
Hill crossing the west-bound express
usually leaves the single track and
takes the double track, and 1t was
about mile and half west Of this
point where the accident occurred.
Whether the signals were right will
never be known from the engineer and
fireman OF the wrecked train, for they
are dead. Both engines were totally
destroyed. and the freight engine was
thrown completely over the passenger
engine into the ditch beyond. The
engineer and fireman Of the freight
train--Thomas Ivens and Alexander
Toppin-both OF Toronto, jumped, and
both escaped with slight injuries. W.
II. Brady, engineer, Of Belleville, and
John Mcdonald, fireman.. Of Belle
Vile, who were in charge Of the pas.
senger engine, were killed.
The greatest destruction was
wrought in the second-class car. The
baggage car was driven into and al
most completely through it, the pas
sensers being crushed and mangled
underneath the timbers Of the car.
The mail car was forced right on top
Of the baggage car and the express
car was partially wrecked. The first
class car was uninjured, as were also
two sleepers, although the passengers
were awakened by the shock. The
work of pulling out the dead and in.
iured was commenced Immediately,
but il was many hours before all the
bodies were got out.
Some OF them we're so horribly man
gled that recognition was almost i'm
possible. The injured were taken to
the hospital at Bsllville.
The dead are: William Luness,
Charles Goodchild, John Casey, en-
gineer, John Mcdonald, fireman, and
six Russians, some OF whom are uniden-
titled; unknown man, legs and part OF
trunk only recovered.
All the Russian party had through
tickets to Cincinnati.
Six men were taken from the wreck
more or less badly injured.

OF Spanish Commissioners In Regard to

According to semi-official statements
at Madrid the Spanish peace commits.

the conditions OF the United States.
Further, II the discussion does not
return to the limits Of the protocol, as
viewed by the Spsniards. the Spanish
commissioners have decided, in spite
of contrary reports, not to sign q
treaty Of peace.
It is also learned from the same
sources that complete accord prevails
between the Spanish government and
