EsTERHAZY CoNFEssES.
when the Whole Truth Should Be
Known-Hs Wrote the Bordereau.

LONDON, June 8.-The Daily Chron-
icle says that Maj Compte Ferdinand
Walsin Esterhazy called at its Office
Friday evening with a confidential
friend, and, after declaring that the
time had arrived when the whole truth
should be told, although hitherto. by
reason of constant orders and induce
ments, he had kept silence on the es-
sential point, made the following
statement:
1.-THE chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. MY cup is
full and shall speak out.
Eyes (raising his voice and glaring
around), it was who wrote the bor-
dereau. wrote it upon orders re-
ceived from Sandherr."
Esterhazy, the Chronicle says, then
proceeded to explain that for months
before 1898 moral proofs had been OBJ
tanned of leakages which were only
possible through officers belonging to
the ministry of war and it was neces-
sary to catch the guilty party by ma
terial evidence. Hence the bordereau.
When asked what the chiefs of the
French general staff would say to this
confession, Esterhazy, struggling his
shoulders, disdainfully replied:
''They will lie as they know how to
lie, but have them tight. have
proofs that they know the whole
thing and share the responsibility
with me, and will produce the
proofs"
He then denounced the chiefs as a
''set of scoundrels who have abandon
ed me basely," and added, "but at one
time they used to come to thank Mad
ame Pays for her assistance"
Esterhazy asserted that quite re.
Gently the chiefs sent NJ. Laguerse, a
former deputy, to London with Sc.
ductwe offers to him to keep silence.
'Now they are using threats" he
shouted; "but will not be deferred"
The Daily Chronicle got Esterhazy
to sign the notes of the interview.

HONG KONG, Jan. 6.-Leading repre-
sentatives of the Filipino junta in
Hong Kong, in the course of an inter
view with a correspondent Thursday,
declared that the serious crisis in the
Philippines is due to what they desig-
nate as covert, unfair treatment of the
FiIipinos by the United States"
They said that despite the
known fact that the whole
OF the Visayas group was in possession
of the Filipino forces, Gen. Otis was
ordered to take possession OF the entire
archipelago and dispatched troops and
war ships to the Southern Visayas
The Filipinos, according to the junta
representatives are determined to pre-
vent the landing of the Americans
at Iloilo and may, as a last resort, de-
stroy the city for strategical purposes.

said: The Filipinos appeal to the
American people to uphold the rights
of mankind and to avoid bloodshed,
assuring the Americans of our desire

TERRIFIC CRASH.
Four People Killed and Two C5ners In
jured in Railroad Wreck.
Fireman, Brakeman and Flagman Were
Burned TO Death Or Killed Under
the Ruins of Three Engines
Loss is Over 100000.

KNOXVILLE; Tenn, Jan. o. -Four
dead, two injured, one of these per
haps fatally, and the loss of property
of the Southern railway to the amount
of about 500, 900, is the result of a
wreck which occurred Sunday morning
on the Knoxville and Ohio branch OF
the Knoxville division of the Southern
railway, one and one-half miles west
of Elk valley. The dead are:
Engineer j. D. Maxey, Fireman
Frank Readily, colored, Brakeman
Ionza Hoover, cOlored, Flagman w. A.
Dillon.
The injured are: Engineer Golf,
badly but not fatally cut on the head
and bruised; Fireman George Husl1is-
son, badly burned and may die.
MaXey, Readily, Hoover and Dillor
were burned to death or killed under
meath the ruins of three engines and a
number of cars and coaches of the two
wrecked trains.
Sunday morning at 1870 o'clock a
double-header freight train, loaded
with coal and merchandise, crashed
into a mixed local passenger train
while both were running at the rate
of 35 miles an hour. The engines met
head on, the force of impact being ter
rife. The coming together of the two
trains was so sudden that the train
men were unable to jump and save
their lives.
Passenger train was running Is min
uteslate, having waited at Knoxville fo1
connection with a western train and
had the right of way. All the freight
trains on the Knoxville and Ohio
division had been notified that the
passenger train was on late
run and the only cause for the accident
that can be given is that Engineer
Maxey, of the freight train, misread
his orders. Immediately after the
crash the wreckage caught fire. The
fire could not be controlled, and this
city was asked for fire
engine by the Southern rail
way. The engine left Knoxville
at o'clock p. M, and had the fire
under control at about $50 o'clock
Travel on the branch on which the
wreck occurred has been suspended
until Monday. The passenger train
carried about 30 passengers. None Of
| these was injured.

Women who have suffered severely

CABINET HOLDS A SESSION.
The Policy of the Govern nienr in REGARD
to the Expenditure of Money Col.
lected From Customs in Cuba.

w AsHINGTON, Jan. THE cabinet at
its meeting Friday gave special con-
sideration to the administration of af-
fairs in Cuba. There seems to be a
misunderstanding among some of the
people of Santiago as to the policy of
the government with respect to the ex-
penditure of money collected from in
terral revenue and customs sources.
1t is not believed that Gen.
Wood, who is in command at Santiago,
misundcrstands the purposes of the
government, but in any event nothing
will be Gone in the matter until Gen.
Wood arrives here. Then an efforS
will be made to arrive at some general
plan for the handling of the receipts
in the island. It seems certain, how
ever, that all moneys disbursed must
come through a central head and
that under no circumstances can any
particular city or section be allowed to
expend all of its collections to the neg
| lect of other sections. Gen. Wood,
however, will receive q proper and
probably a sufficient allowance for
Santiago province but full considera-
ton is certain to be given to sections
which collect nothing or little
from customs. 1t is very likely
that soon after Gen. Woods return to
Santiago the governors of the several
provinces Will be instructed to assem-
bic for discussion of the question of
their respective needs for administra-
| tive purposes and also for pressing in
| ternal improvements. Thus, it is ex-
pected, fair and equitable distribu-
ton of the funds collected on the
island will be secured.
Nothing of special interest had been
received by the government from Ilo-
Ito. Although much interested in the
progress of events there the admins
tration has full confidence in it's repre-
sentatives on the ground and no fur
ther action will be taken until some
thing further is learned as to the
situation. AS soon as the treaty is rati-
fed by the senate the president, it is
expected, will make any changes that
may have been found to be necessary
in matters of administration to the end
| that his instructions to Gen. Otis and
by him proclaimed to the people, may
be fully carried out in letter and in
| spirit.
