THE Big SWITCH ENGINE
Jumps the Track And Crashes
Into the Baggage Room
Killing J. Barunda,
Of This City.

A sudden fatal accident occurred at
the G. 81. depot at 2:35 this afternoon,
whereby one man was killed and two
were wounded, while anott er one may
be under tie fallen, debris of the
| wrecked baggage room.
Big switch engine No. ia, running
on the track south of the depot, jump
ed the track, and grinding over the
ties and sand, crashed into the bag
gage department room at the west end
of the building, aud all in moment
that portion of the building collapsed
with defesning crash. and the cries
and groans of an sgonized man as death
cams upon him arose out OF the din
and dust and noise.
J. BARUNDA KILLED
The mao who was killed is an old
wood chopper, who was sitting on abench
outside the baggage room. AS the
walls fell, he was caught and pinioned,
and his head horribly caved in. In
his suffering and despair he cried
aloud. But soon his cries became
groans and subsidized to nothipgness and
death came to him mercifully.
The body wss laid out near
the swrecked room and covered with
a 10 is Of
years OF age, feet inches in height,
with rather pointed gray-black head;
he vas roughly dressed in the clothes
of a laborer. He is Mexican named
J. Barurda.
j. d. Clifford, the brakeman who was
seriously hurt in the back and legs, was
standing on the foot board on the front
of the engine and had not time to
jump clear of the wreckage.
CAUSE OF THE WRECK.
The undoubted cause of the wreck is
the poor condition of the track where
the passing track rails meet the switch
rails sbous 80 feet from where the en-
gine crash ed into the depot.
There is space of at least II in
ches between the end of these rails,
and as the tie under the main line
rail at Its very end is rotten, an en-
gine passing over causes the
end to sink at least half an
inch. This discrepancy of over
two inches to bridge over, and q half
inch down is probably the cause of
TIPS leaving the track.
En- gine TIA, manned by ke Seury
engineer, Gus. Swartz as
fireman, with w. II. Nash. fore
man, and J. D. Clifford and Harvey as
swltchmen WAS engaged in making up
q freight, and at 2:3G was running
along west on the passing track of the
G. 81. depot, with engineer
and fireman at their posts,
Harvey on the tender foot-board, Gift
ford on the front fOot-bORrd, while
Nash, who was foreman, had dropped
off.
JUMPS THE RAIL.
AS the engine passed over
the ends OF the switch just oppo-
site the door of the ladies waitir e
room, without premonition or warning
of any sort, she suddenly left the ira L
and headed for the baggage room.
Into this she crashed with tremendous
impact, snd the building fell like a
house of cards.
In the debris was baggage agent r.

escape from instantaneous death.

ant Jack Murphy, from Leavenworth.
Lieutenant Frank J. Frank, of Topeka

ment. He has Spanish and Filipino
medals enough to cover his coat. The
Tartar started with two dozen parrots
on board, but most of them died en-
route.
The boys brought back with them

Demonstrations En- Route.

Topeka, Nov. 4.-Henry Allen, pri-
vate secretary to Governor Stanley.
returned from Frisco with General
Funston on the first train. He said
that the demonstrations given the gen
eral at all towns along the route were
remarkable. ''The boys all like Fun
ston," said he, land many of them
want to return to the Philippines with
him. Captain Shideler says that Fun
ston was the best general in the islands.
Many of the commissioned officers are
dead anxious to 60 back. So are many
of the privates, providing they can be
assigned to Funston's brigade. The
boys all behaved well on the way home.
The eating house trouble was greatly
exaggerated. Three or four boys
kicked but that was all.

compliment the Santa Fe road for its
splendid service in bringing us home,
and Fred Harvey for furnishing us
such good things to eat. The stand of
colors which have here was furnished
us on this spot eighteen months ago.
We carried them to the Philippine is
lands and took good care of them.
They were placed on the firing line on
February 4, and remained there until
we were ordered home. While the
regiment was in the trenches, they
were stuck in the ground right with us.
They have been torn by bullets and
brambles, but what is left of them we
desire to return to the state.''
Governor Stanley, in fitting address
then presented the sword, prepared as
a gift of the people of Kansas to Cen
eral Funston. Then the silk flag pre-
pared by the ex-citizens of Kansas now
living in Kansas, was presented to Gen
raj Funston.

square miles. The object is to deter
mine the number of square miles which
are legally or illegally grazed by cattle
men. Among the charges on file here
is one that 1s3, 900 cattle are grazing in
the Usage reservation in excess of the
number legitimately accounted and
paid for, representing a loss to the
Osages, according to the representa-
tions made by those DESTROYS of secur-
ing the removal of Agent Pollock, of
not less than 100000. The penalty
for illegal grazing of cattle on Indian
lands is 81 per head.

1t Was to Protect Natal

London, Nov. IA high government,
official said to a representative of the
Associated Press:
s'Natal has risked her little all on be-
half of the empire; and the least we
can do is to risk something ourselves
and to prevent the Overrunning of her
prosperous towns and rich fields by
hordes of the enemy. Purely military
consideration, admit. might point to
the fact that we ought Immediately to
have withdrawn from our advanced
positions, but purely military consid-
erations have sometimes to be subOr-
dinated to the interests of the empire,
and although many lives have been
lost in the cause they have not been
wasted"

confidence IN BUTLER.
Pigeons Bring News From Lady,
smith---Boers Send Prisoners.
CAPTURED ONE BOER CAMP.

London, Nov. THE fact that Sir
Redvers Butler appears to have ordered
a retirement from Stromberg. and per-
haps from other places, relieves to some
extent the public mind, which other
wise, would have been further alarmed.
Confidence is felt in any measures that
General Butler may deem desirable.
The knowledge that the pigeon post is
working has also come as relief to
the great anxiety previously felt. Dis
patches from Cape Town and other CEN
tiers in Cape Colony indicate that the
Cape Dutch are becoming very restless
in consequence of the Boer success.
The Dutch residents of Natal have
received news of sanguinary battle
fought, probably between Ladysmith
and Colenso. A large number of the
Beers were killed, many being relatives
of Natal Dutch residing in this place.
The English residents have no know
ledge of any engagement.
Pigeons are now being used to con-
vey news from Ladysmith.
General Joubert sent in Major G. S.
Kincaid, of the Royal Irish Fusileers,
and nine wounded prisoners. Eight
Beers were sent out in exchange, no
others being fit to travel.
While the naval brigade was pound
ing away at the Boer batteries this
morning, party of British cavalry and
volunteers were sent out. Creeping
around the hills, they surprised and
captured one of the enemy's camps.

COMMISSION have 4 PLAN.
Commission Has Formulated a Con-
stitution.
Home CONTROL FINALLY.

Washington. Nov. Gas soon as
the Tagalo instruction is sup
pressed" said President Schurman,
1.-The United States should immediate
ly establish government. to be ad-
ministered at first under the direction
of the war department, but by success
sive stages to finally be placed in the
hands of the Filipinos. My idea is
that there should be progressive self
government, a gradual development of
home government as the Filipino be-
comes more experienced in political af-
fairs and sufficiently educated to under
stand the questions with which he has
to deal. What the character of this
government should be is matter which
has not been touched upon by the COM
mission in its preliminary statement.
1 will not say that it has not been con-
sidered, for it has. 1t is proposed to
deal carefully in this matter in the re-
port. I should think that at first there
should be a governor general appointed,
who should be assisted in administer
ing the affairs of the island by cab
met composed of representative men of
several tribes. This would eventually
develop into the legislature of the arch
ipelago. The provinces should be ad-
ministered by Americans or by educa-
ted Filipinos under American guidance
and the cities and towns by mayors
elected by the people possessing certain
educational or property qualifications,
or both, as may be determined. 1t
seems to me that the constitution pre-
pared for the island of Negros by the
commission is an excellent instrument
to consider in connection with the gov
eminent to be given to the island of
Luzon."

TO SURROUND AGD|NALNDO.
Organized Insurrection on Large
Scale Likely to End Soon.
NAVY TAKES LEADING PART.

Manila, Nov. IA feet of gunboats
has left Manila for the Northern coast,
probably for Dagupan. General
Wheaton with a brigade. Three trans
ports carry the troops with gunboat
as escort.
A dispatch boat was sent ahead to
arrange rendezvous with the United
States cruiser Charleston and the other
warships that are patrolling the north
coast of Luzon.
It is assumed here that the purpose
Of the expedition is to move down the
Dagupan- Manila railroad toward Tar
lac, or to prevent Aguinaldo's forces
making another base farther north.
Dagupan and Apparri are the strong
holds of the insurgents in the north
and, it is supposed, the points where
most of the filibustering parties land.
Since the beginning of the hostilities
it has been the unanimous opinion of
military experts here that Dagupan
should be made base of operations,
but sufficient troops have heretofore
been lacking.
With Generals Wheaton, Macarthur
and Lawton moving upon Tarlac from
three directions and the mountains
hemming in the other side, the insur-
gent capital will soon become unten-
able.
As MacArthur's and Lawton's troops
are spread across the country from An
geles to Cabanatuan, it will be difficult
for the insurgents to escape.
Should the concerted operations sue
coed, organized insurrection on large
scale will be at an end early next
spring, although guerilla warfare is
likely to continue for long time. No
one anticipates that the insurgents
will make many hard battles. The
problem is tomove the troops about
the country, to maintain transporta-
ion and to hold the territory gained.
The moral effect of the arrival of a
large American army is calculated to
sap Aguinaldo's strength by assertions
and through the loss of hope among
The supporters of the revolutionary
movement.
