The editor of Locomotive Engineer
ing declares that in describing a rail-
road collision reporters make a mis-
take when they say that "on seeing the
danger the engineer whistled down
brakes" reversed the lever, and
jumped off" The expression down
brakes" he says, has been obsolete for
two generations. What an efficient en-
gineer really does when a collision
seems impending is to shut off steam,
apply the air-brake, open the sand
valves, and jump. This takes about
five seconds, and in that time all that
human effort is able to accomplish for
the train and passengers may be done.
Railroad engineers are told never to
reverse the engine after the air brake
has been applied. because the reversal
reduces the resisting power of the
brakes.

in which the flag was captured.
The people of Texas are displaying

branches of the Legislature of tia

A CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.
Otis Is Pressing the Attack on the Fill
pipos.


pinos
Washington. ID. C.. March 2l.-Ke-
ports reached here tonight that fierce
fighting is going on at Manila.
Up to Il late hour nothing had come
from General Otis or Admiral Dewey,
but the rumors We're persistent, and
the War Department officials We're dis
posed to credit them.
1t has been known for some days
that General Otis was preparing for Il
final attack on the rebel position north
of the city. General Wheaton's flying
column, it Is stated, had been with
drawn from Pasig and Laguna lie Bay
and placed as n reserve for General
Arthurs division, which had been hold
ing the north of the line. In the move
ment, it was expected that Gen. ii. q.
Otis brigade of volunteers would lead.
The intrenchments in front of Near
thurs division are said to be formia-
able, but no anxiety exists rs to the re-
suit though great loss of life Is feared.
1t Is understood here that General
Otis has so far matured his plans of
campaign that he soon will be able to
begin movement which is expected
to mark the destruction of Aguinaldo's
army.
Otis has procured thirteen of the
gunboatS formerly owned by the Span
ish government and these are to play
an important development of the cam
paign.
A cablegram to the New York World
from Manila says:
y sweeping victory over Aguinnldos
forces has just been won by the Unit
ed States troops.
The total American loss is estimated
mt about 100, Including both killed and
wounded.
The Filipino loss is between 800 and
400.
Manila March 25.-Thc American ad
vance swept the insurgents back on
MalabOn.
The fighting was fierce. One hundred
natives We're killed. The American
loss was slight.
Colonel McArthur's division. supple
mented by General Wheaton's brigade
has captured Polo.

Aguinaldo is simply one of the vic
Tins of bad Judgment. Whether he is
ambitious on his own account or on
account of his country we do not know
and 1t would be idle to discuss the mat
ter. But he need lose no sleep on ac-
count of the fact that he has not de-
veloped into George Washington.

Called Untrue.

North Brookfeld, Oct. SO.-Thomas
Humphrey of the Tiger foot ball team,
who was challenged by William Nor
rissey Of Worcester to select an all
Brookfeld team for a game with the
Vernon team as it played in Fitchburg
of the stories the manager of the YER
non team has been telling in The Spy,
and has this to say:
Il never asked to have the pick of the
neighboring towns, neither did 1 sug-
gest that we would play with the team
that played in Fitchburg. This was
Morrisseys own choosing. He asked
me If l would select an all-Broolklield
team to play the Vernons, the Vernon
team to be made up of the same men
who played on it in Fitchburg. read
lily agreed, and was surprised some few
days later to get letter from Paul
Bouchard, manager of the Vernons, in
which entirely different stipulations
were made. / never sought the game,
and when | saw that Morrlssey, with
whom 1 made the original agreement,
had dropped out of sight | decided that
his agreement had gone with him and
made up my mind that he had seen his
original agreement, which several men
heard him make, l am ready. If not,
! hope the Vernons will cease to chat
ter"
To the Editor of The Spy: l am per-
fectly willing to give the explanation of
my actions of Saturday, asked for in
your paper this morning by the manager
of the Byron Athletic club of Worcester:
Incidently, let me stamp the statement of
the Byron man as untrue when he says
that he was informed by letter Saturday
noon that the Tigers would not go to
Worcester. He received no such letter
from me- Finding Saturday morning that
six members of my team could not leave
their work before o'clock in the after
noon. l telephoned between 10 and II
o'clock to the manager of the Byrons,
telling him the circumstances and asking
him If he could bring his team here for
a game in the Afternoon, at the same
time Offering to pay whatever expenses
he incurred for printing and advertising
fo- the day He promised to call me IN
between l o'clock and a quarter past,
This he did not do and | wired to him
again about ] 30 o'clock, when ne Informed
me that he could not get his team to-
gether to come here. | then agreed to
write him during this week to send him
the money he had spent on our account,
also to arrange another game and until
/ saw the paper this morning, such was
my intention. AS to the treatment the
team received when it played here Man
aEef .NdHe toiu me tHdL II was perfectly
satisfactory, and l can not understand his
reason for changing his mind l do not
see how he could get fairer treatment
than l gave. and ] consider it a small
trick that he should try TO prejudice other
teams against us For the benefit of the
manager of the Byrons, l will say that
expect to get games by Keeping my word
with other managers to the best of my
ability and not by misstatng facts as he
has done.
