It Is not unworthy of notice that one
of the most serious disasters that have
befallen our troops in the Philippines
occurred to those who were going to
the relief of beleagured Spanish gar
rison. They were under no legal obli-
CATION to go thither. the Spanish gov
ernment itself being responsible for
the safe withdrawal Of all its men.
They went on the perilous expedition
At the simple cali of humanity. more
ready to succor their late foes than
they would have been last year to
fight them. Such deed should 70 far
toward restoring friendly feeling in
the Spaniards toward this country.

Important cripple Creek Deal.

w. z. Durham, owner of the Scottish
Chief and other properties at Cripple
Greek. last night acquired the contrOll-
ing interest in the properties of the
Wilson Creek Mining and Milling Com
pany. Though no exact figures were
given out, 1t is understood that at least
$25O,OOO in cash changed hands
A long consultation, lasting nearly
the entire day, was held at the Brown
Palace hotel, says the Denver Repub-
lican, between the owners Of the prop
critics, w. T. Dunham being present for
the Scottish Chief and other holdings
interested. and George Wallace and J.
NJ. Bonney for the Wilson Greek Min
ing and Milling Company.
This deal will have an important in
fuence on one of the largest and most
protracted law suits In the history Of
Colorado mining. BY this move w. P.
Dunham concentrates all the interests
opposed to the Hull City placer in his
own hands. He now holds all the lode
claims which are included in the limits
ofsthe placer claim located by the Hull
City Placer Company, and tte many
sided fight which has been waged for
many years against the placer com.
pany will now be directed by a single
management and will be backed by the

Manila, May 2S.-The cable ship Re
corder, while picking up a cable be-
tween the islands of Negros and Cebu,
went to the town of Escalante, on the
former island. She landed party In a
launch, consisting of the commander,
second officer and several Of the crew,
and also Captain Tilley Of the signal
corps, who was present on board the
ship to observe the cable operations.
A flag of truce had been hoisted by the
rebels, who waited until the party had
landed and then trencherously poured
u murderous volley upon them.
Captain Tilley and one of the men at
once threw themselves into the water.
The commander of the Recorder, by
running great risk, managed to reach
the launch, and put of from the bank
to save 1t from being captured by til
rebels.
Meanwhile a rain Of bullets was fa..-
ing all around the fIgitives. The sec
ond mate was picked up by the launch
just as he was sinking. but was alive

DIED IN A WRECK.
Terrible Catastrophe on the Rock Island
Road In Iown.

Road In lows.
Waterloo, Ia., May 2S.-The through
train from Chicago to Minneapolis over
the Rock Island and Burlington, Cedar
Rapids L. Northern railways, was
wrecked at 1:l5 Sunday morning at the
crossing Of Sink creek, about four
miles southeast OF this place.
The train consisted OF i've coaches, in
Guiding mail and baggage cars, smok-
Ing car, two passenger coaches and
sleeper. Nine persons were killed and
twenty three injured, most of them Sc
rously.
A clOudburst had washed out the
sand and gravel roadbed, leaving the
track unsupported for stretch of
twenty feet The rails and the ties held
together and there was nothing to indi-
cate the insecurity of the road.
The engine struck the washout and
was derailed in the ditch beside the
track. Behind it the cars. were piled In
q confused heap.
The mail car toppled over and was
telescoped by the baggage car behind,
while the rear end of the baggage car
in turn telescoped the smoker
The roof Of the sleeper plOughed its
way through the day coach while the
lower half of the latter crushed through
the sleeper.
The engineer and fireman jumped
from the train and escaped with slight
injuries. - =.
Mr.. Schwette Of Alton, Illinois, was
brought to this city alive, but died at 8
o'clock. He was badly cut about the
head and 1t was evident from the be-
ginning that his injuries were fatal.
He was on his way to Minneapolis,
where he was to be married to-day. He
asked his physician to telegraph his
father and his sweetheart.
''Tell her" he gaspcd, that have
been detained by wreck and cannot
keep the appointment on time. Don't
say any more"
VIII Schollian of Waterloo. who trav-
els for st. Louis tob2cco house, and
makes his headquarters in this city,
suffered more severely than any other
Of the Waterloo passengers. He was
found in the second passenger coach. to
which he had gone after leaving the
smoker. his arm crushed between the
front end OF the sleeper and the side OF
the car. holding him fast in the wreck.
He did not lose consciousness, but
begged that his arm bc sawed on so as
to set him free. When it was found
that there was no possibility Of saving
the arm. this was done. the amputation
being effected by n common hand saw.
Mr.. SchollIan displayed the utmost
fortitude, and after he was released
walked to the adjoining farm house Of
Mrs. Caroline Mericle. where he was
resting quietly at last reports. He is
much weakened by loss of blood. but
is not believed to have sustained any
other serious injuries.

PAYING CUBANS.
\ Few Get Their Money-The Rolls Unre-
liable,

liable.
Havana, May 2s.-There were III
application to-day for shares in the
50, 100000 which the United States has
offered as n gratuity to the Cuban
troops. Thirty were given $I5 each.
The others were not on the rolls, al
though they had guns which they were
ready to turn in and certificates Of ser
vice.
The United States militry authorities
consider that the rolls are very unre-
liable. Indeed. the opinion Is freely ex-
expressed that large proportion Of
the names are fictitious and that the
rolls omit majority of the names OF
those rightly entitled to share in the
gratuity.
The object of this. apparently, is to
discredit the proceedings and to show
the Cuban public that a large number
Of the troops refused to take American
money.
Lieutenant Colonel George NJ. Ran
dali of the Eighth United States infan-
try, the commissioner experimenting
the distribution here, went carefully
over the rolls OF one battalion with its
commnndant He pointed out thirty
four names of men who are dead and
names of others who had not been
heard OF outside the rolls.
OF those paid to-day twenty
turned in arms-Mausers, RemingtOns
and carbines. The other five showed
receipts from the alcalde vouching for
the delivery of their arms.
The payment will continue until noon
tomorrow In Havana city, but Colonel
Randall says 1t will be necessary to
have additional days after a while here
and extra pay rolls for men who have
undoubtedly seen service. He also be-
lieves that the payment to be contin-
ued for the next three days at least
ninety per cent. of those entitled to
apply would do so. Most of those who
received shares to-day asserted that
they only heard by accident that the
distribution was now actually taking
place.
Colonel Randall will send to Senor
Percecto La Coste, the mayor. all the
arms turned in to-day. The first pay
ment outside Of Havana will be made
on Tuesday Mt Santiago de Las Vegas,
whittier Colonel Randall. the clerks
and thirty soldiers will go with the
paymaster.

It is pleasant to see man. or to hear
of q man, who breaches about dealing
considerably with employes-and then
practices 1t. The mayor Of Toledo is
a good representative Of such preach
ers. Each year he malls to the en-
ployes of his manufacturing plant a
check OF per cent upon the wages
paid the workman that year. This, he
insists, is not gift. but recognition
of faithful service. and the best meth
cd he yet knows OF establishing truer
equilibrium between capital and labor.
1t is natural. therefore. that while
Mayor Jones talked and lived equality.
his own plurality in his election to
public ONCE should have been over
whelming.

TORNADO BRINGS DEATH.

sweeps AcfOsS DAkotA Anu NeDf1ska.
Chamberlain, $. D., May 2S.-Wor.
reached town this evening OF n disas-
trous and fatal tornado which passed
across the country in the vicinity Ui
Bijou Hills. twenty-five miles sOuth o.
this city yesterday afternoon, resulting
in the death OF seven persons and til,
serious injury Of two others.
The killed are Charles Peterson ana
his six children, ranging from to L.
years of age. The wife and two chill
dren were so badly injured that the!
may also die.
The tornado formed on section il,
plain view of hundreds and moved In 3.
southerly course, the first place reach
ed being that of Arr Coden, which was
totally destroyed.
The storm then destroyed n church
and u school house, after which il
reached the Peterson place, where the
execution done was simply appalling.
The dead and injured were strewn
all about the premises, all being bruised
and MANNED in II shocking manner,
while the buildings were smashed into
splirters.
After doing its worst here, the tor
nado passed into the range Of hills
skirting the Missouri river, where 1t
appears to have been dissolved. Every
thing in Its course was completely de
stroyed.
The path covered by the tornado was
only about twenty rods wild. and about
three miles in length. The wind was
accompanied by II heavy fall Of rain
and hail. the latter being as large as
goose eggs.
This is the first tornado that has ever
appeared in this section OF the country.
The same storm did great damage In
Nebraska, destroying many buildings.

HE Is only lath painted to look
like iron." Bismarck once said Of Lord
Salisbury. The clever epigram is dis
proved by the singular success with
which the premier has conducted the
recent agreement with France. Hence
forth England will be undisturbed in
her enlightened protectorate Of the
Nile valley. Everywhere she is re-
garded as a different power from what
she was when Lord Salisbury took the
government; richer. more formidable.
more influential. The iron chancellor
Judged all men after his own metal
Unhappily the golden traits of tact,
courtesy and the desire to arbitrate
had little place in his conception Of a

NEW TRIAL FOR DREYFus.
Omcial Announcement Made in Regard TO
Case of Famous Military Prisoner.


London, May 2s. Special dispatches
from Paris received here to-day say
that the government officially an
nounced that Dreyfus will be retired
by Il court marital, the sittngs Of
which will be held In a garrison town
distant from Pkris.
Paris, May T.-Early this afternoon
1t was rumored that the president Of
the civil section of the Court of Cassa-
ton, NJ. Ballot De Beaupre, had re-
ported to the president OF the Court OF
Cessation, NJ. Bazeau, in favor of u
revision of the Dreyfus trial, and send
ing the prisoner again befort a court
martial.
This, later in the day. was confirmed
by direct statement that the presi-
dent OF the civil section had SO report
ed to the president Of the Court Of
Cessation. 1t is believed that 1t is
practically certain to be accepted by
the Court of Cessation, and means that
Dreyfis will be brought back to
Frame and retired.
From the President of the Court of
Cessation, the Dreyfus report will pass
into the hands of the procurer general,
Mr.. Manau.
The proceedings of the case will be
public. although the greater part Of
the court has been reserved for ticket
holders. The procedure will consist
of the reading Of the report Of NJ. Bal
lot De Beaupre, followed by speech
by Maitre Monard. counsel for Nine.
Dreyfus, and the address of the public
prosecutor, NJ. Maneau. The court
will then retire to deliberate upon q
verdict, which it is expected will be
rendered on Friday or Saturday.

a certain degree of progress, to com
bine the Russian and British proposals
In such way that the report of the

Pauncefote. chiefs of the Russian and
British delegations respectively, and
other delegates, had n long conference
to-day with this end in view and there
Is no doubt that an agreement in prin-
ciple will be reached.
The hope of the delegates that a per-
nan&nt arbitration board will be es-
tablished is rapidly improving. The
difficult points now relate to the CON-

presentation Of the powers is to be ar
ranged, and the limitations to be placed
