ESCAPED IN THE CRASH.
Engineer McPherson,s Story Of
Mexican Railway Wreck.


Austin. Tex, July 18.-E. L. Mcpherson,
an American locomotive engineer who
was recently reported to have been killed
in railroad wreck on the Mexican Cen
tral Railroad near Tampico, Mexico, has
arrived in Texas, alters trying experience.
He saved his life by jumping and fled
toward the United States border to elude
the Mexican authorities and escape prose-
cution for the accident. 1t took him three
weeks to make his way out of the country
and reach the Rio Grande. He related his
experience as follows:
Il left Tampico on the morning OF June
rs on engine No. 207, pulling freight into
Cardenas. / was going up grade nearly
all the way and everything went well until
near Canon LIE Diable, when / perceived
another train tearing down upon me at
the rate of forty-ive miles an hour. The
other train was also a freight. The en-
g1neer, who had been on, duty about forty
eight hours, had taken out his train under
protest. He had Instructions to sidetrack
at station within short distance of
Cardenas and let my train pass. but, falling
asleep, he passed the station and was evil
IDENTIFY asleep when ! first saw him.
Il kept up an incessant whistling for
brakes, but received no recognition. When
within about 800 yards of the down-g grade
train jumped from my engine, although
my fireman remained. The trains came to-
gether with a crash. The fireman and en-
gineer ON the other train and my fireman
were instantly killed. As soon as / saw
what had happened struck out afoot and
found few empty box cars down the road
short distance. / crawled into one OF
these and locked myself up until night,
when the cars were taken to Monterey.
There l took train as soon as possible
for Laredo. Tex, arriving there few days
later in safety. The papers reported me as
among the killed and the supposition was
that had been precipitated into the Dew
lis Canon and lost. The reason l was so
expeditions in leaving was that had the
officers captured me / would unquestion-
ably have been convicted of murder"

Admiral Dewey is a soldier. and cannot
talk; but his actions have always been
vocal and articulate enough. 1t has not
escaped public attention that he asked for
leave as soon as Otis, DENLY, and the
schoolmasters got their heads together and
began the doddering that wrecked the
spring campaign. II would be perfectly
safe to wager that Dewey advised the Navy
Department as to what would happen IN
less new men were put in power, with new
measures and less interference from the
War Department. Algerism was too potent

Our latest advices from Santiago seem
to justify the opinion that Gen. Leonard
Wood has stamped out the yellow fever
epidemic already. But one death and one
new case were reported yesterday. The
surprising ability shown by our Santiago
governor in every trial and emergency he
has been called upon to face, military,
sanitary, or administrative, points him out
as the ideal man to replace Otis as Civil
Governor al Manila. We do not doubt that
Generals Miles and Wheeler would say the
same thing.

MARVELLOUS GOLD A
Rich Mineral Deposits Near Aibuquerqu,
In New Mexico.
MnwAuKEEAss SEE VISIONS OF WEALTH.

From Milwaukee, Wis, Sentinel.
During the past Two years, thousands
OF persons consumed by the gold excite
ment, have rushed wildly to the reputed
gilded acres Of Alaska. While the bones
OF many OF these fortune seekers are rest
ing on the barren wastes OF the Klondike,
there has been developed. right at the
feet OF the nation, a district so rich In
gold and other minerals that Its wealth
cannot be computed by figures. This for
tune-fayored spot is the territory OF New
Mexico, and itssplendid mineral deposits
are most vast In the Cochiti and Hszleton
range Of mountains. In the center of the
C0chiti group Is the famous mining town
OF Bland. During the past few months
this camp has enjoyed q marvellous
growth. increasing from q small collec-
tion Of rough houses to a city Of consid.
cradle size, from which tons upon tons OF
ore are shipped every day. Among the
M~ilwaukeeans who we're attracted TO the
fields Of New Mexico are Vim. Sheen, who
Ia connected with David Adler Il Sons.
and Sherman Brown. of the Davidson
thester. They heard the stories OF enor-
nous wealth being taken from the
soil In New Mexico. and went there
on a semi-vacstion trip, hut returned
most enthusiastic about the rich min.
eral deposits OF the country. Ac-
cording TO the observations OF these gem
tlemen there Is little or no agriculture in
the country. but II has sufficient mineral
wealth to supply the world. II Ia esti-
mated that nearly so per cent OF the
population OF the territory are Mexlcans,
who operate their mines In a desultory
way and In the crudest fashion. and who,
~ G rule, are too indolent to make the
exertion necessary to mine the ore. The
result Is that there are mines OF untold
wealth waiting for the energetic man
from q more northerly climate TO de-
yeiop. When the country WAS coded to
the United States, the land grants
awarded by the Mexican government
were recognized and this fact has SON
tributed to hinder the development OF the
country. Ia and around Golden Is the
richest mining property on the face OF
the globe, the most remarkable feature
being the great diversity OF the mineral
deposits. A few miles from this point Ii
