for talk, and that before taking amy ac-
ton 1t would be only proper and neces-
sary to wait until he had an opportun-
ity to receive through the regular chan
nels and to consider the testimony
furnished by General Eagan. He would
not talk about a court martial.
Altogether the init nation construed
was that General Mics would act with
elaboration il he decided to take any
action at all; and there was a faint
suggestion that he might decide to ig-
more the statement altogether.
OF course, a decision to that effect
on the part Of General Miles would ter
inmate the incident. But should he de-
eide to take notice officially Of the at
tack the next step would be for him to
prefer charges with the president
against the commissary general. These
might be based ON several technical
grounds, such, for instance, as conduct
tending to the destruction of good or
der and discipline. 1t would be for the
president to pass upon the demand,
and he might adopt one of three
courses: Refuse it, grant it, or instead,
order a court of inquiry. In the latter
cas- the body would have the power to
go into the question of veracity. which
has been raised, and, Eh.iet,a tiie con
duct CT both generals would be prac-
tically under examination.

For the calendar year ending De-
cember 31st last, the Rio Grande West
ern's gross earnings were $3.50. 900.
This is an increase over 1897 of 1885,
III. The net earnings were 81, PAS, 900,
an increase of $131 900. These figures
are taken from the actual earnings up
to November 30th, and estimates for
December. For the last week in De-
cember the gross earnings were s95, 500
a decrease of sS,4OO, aud for the month
the gross earnings were S255, $50, a de-
crease of $3.50. The decrease is
caused by the fact that December, 1897,
was a phenomenal month, and last

SENSATIONS IN WRECK.
Postal Clerks Had Thrilling Expert
ences at Sunol Collision.

Postal Clerks F. B. Eastland of Coun-
ell Bluffs and w. A. Crosby of Omaha,
who were III the Union Pacific Inflated
No. 3 fast mail when it was wrecked
at Sunol Monday, went out again yes
terday on No. 8, says the Omaha Bee.
At the time of the wreck, MIR. Eastland
was in the real of the mail car and Mr..
Crosby at the front end storing mail.
Without warning the crash came and
Crosby was thrown to the floor. Fear
ing something was coming in IN top of
him, he rolled and tumbled to the rear
of the car. where he found Eastland ly-
ing on the floor. Neither was injured,
but the front end of the car, where
Crosby had stood a momen before,
was smashed in. Looking out they saw
three engines piled up about their car,
one on either side and one directly in
front. Then the mail car caught fire
and burned a small amount of Cali

bucket brigade formed with oyster
buckets from the baggage car, the oys-
ters being emptied out.
Eastland walked back to the rear of
the train and saw the form of a m
under the chair car being consumed
by fire. She was dead when he got
there. The mail clerk did not know
anyone had been injured until several
minutes after the collision. Eastland
describes the scene as of the most
horrible in his experience.
Both Eastland and Crosby are firm
in the opinion that had the car they oc-
cupied been an old one they would have
been ground to pieces. Their car was
but slightly injured, while the old bag
gage car just behind them was a total
wreck. The mail car is one or the new
pattern, constructed largely of steel and
girded with heavy beams to protect it
in case of a wreck. 1t went on duty the
first of the year.

General Aguinaldo's soldiers, one and

declare they will accept no terms ex-
cept absolute independence.
The news received from Iloilo today
is that the American troops have not
yet landed. Women and children have
left niolo and the banks have removed
their treasure to the warships. The
natives have poured kerosene over ev-
cry house in town in order to set them
on fire if the Americans seek to force
a landing.
Thousands of natives are leaving Ma
Mia. The markets are gut of provis-
ions. The First California regiment.

steamers, presumably for Iloilo, is at
this moment disembarking. This may
Indicate that General Otis has ADAM
doned his designs upon Iloilo for the
present, or that he requires all his men

OLD CANNON AS souvE7IRs.

of medieval bronze cannon now rest
Ing IN the walls Of Caoanas and MORO
or piled up In ignominious piles at the
base of these ~fortresses, will go to the
United States as relics OF the raj with
Spain.
Though they were once a large part
of Havana's defense, they are now
worth nothing except as relics. But as
relics they are valued at $50, 900. Yale,
Harvard and Princeton will get some
of these old guns as souvenirs. Cen
eral Clous will present two to Prince
ton.
Soon after the protocol was signed
the Spanish government advertised for
sale hundreds of old cannon. F. F.
Hamill, an American, bid 500, 900 for
the lot. The bid was accepted. He
paid the Spanish authorities $500 to
close the bargain and then assigned
his claim to Lisberger & Co. of New
York, whose agent here re-assigned 1t
to the North American Trust company.
The American Evacuation commission
ers then stepped in and declared the
sale Illegal on the ground that the guns
formed a part of the Notifications in
the coded territory and therefore be-
longed to the United States. They pro-
tested to the Spanish authorities
against the sale an dthe matter was re-
ferred to Washington. A decision was
given that these common, though form
ing in some degree the defense of the
town, were really in the nature of rel
les and might be disposed Of by Spain.
