charge Of functions which could easily
be construed as partiality to Spain.
All we endeavor to obtain in the Philip

movement of our commerce. Since we

dent that there will never arise a situ-
alton which could cause us to deviate
from the strictly neutral attitude oh.
served by us up to this day"
The correspondent adds that the
Washington government has been in
formed of this declaration.

Mistake in Train Orders Causes a Terrible
Wreck.

New York, Jan. 11.-By a head on
collision between two passenger trains
of the Lehigh Valley railroad at West
Dunellen, n. j., thirteen persons were
killed and over twenty-five wounded

Bound Brook and about thirty miles
from New York City. At the spot
where the disaster occurred there is a
sharp curve in the Lehigh Valley track
and deep cut. 1t was local train
and an excursion train that collided.
The two engines, from which both
crews had jumped, came together with
an awful crash. The excursion train
was probably going at about fifteen
miles an hour, The local engine, as if
tripped in its faster flight, turned a
complete somersault and came crashing
down beside its now demolished OBJ
struction. But its career was not end
cd before it had iammed the tender of
the excursion train almost from one
end to the other of the first car from
Shamokin. The tender stopped few
seats from the rear door. The car, or
what was left of it. rolled over, carry
ing with it the imbedded tender, the
fragments Of a dozen bodies and the
imprisoned wounded, who had been
carried with the jagged iron on its
relentless course through the coach.
1t is claimed that the operator had
given orders which caused the trains
to collide, and that no blame is attach
ed to the train crews

ish bark Glen Huntley, long given up
for lost, are alive and well and on

They subsisted on peguin eggs and the
flesh of sea eagles, and shared with the
seventy-two white inhabitants the
scantv stock of provisions that the cap
tain of passing vessel could spare.

FILIPINO REPORT.
Claim is Made That No Looting Has Been
Allowed at uoilo.


Allowed at uoilo.
Hongkong, Jan. s.-The newspapers
here publish the following dispatch
from Iloilo, evidently from Filipino
source: when the Americans arrived
at Iloilo, they found absolutely no
looting upon the part OF the Filipino
forces, or conduct of any kind un-
worthy of civilized people. In con-
formity with their agreement with the
Spaniards, the Filipinos entered Iloilo
in an orderly manner and formally
hoisted the Filipino flag. The Ameri-
cans found good government and one
meeting with the complete approval of
the foreign residents. The post office,
customs and other departments were
working smoothly, under the entire
control of the Filippinos. This disposes
Of the allegations of the inclinations of
the Filipinos to loot and kill. The
Filipinos occupied Iloilo on the same
humane principles which have guided
their action against their Spanish op-
pressors."
