N4RROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. Five Year Old Annie Tibbcts Seriously
 IMiured by Trolley Car.


 A fatal trolley accident was narrowly averted last evening through the watch fulness and decision of Motorman Rob- ert Shultheiss. As car No. 122 of the Fair Haven and Westville road, of which he was in charge, approa ched Bristol street on Dixwell avenue about 730 o'clock, five-year-old Annie Tib- bets, one of a group of children playing tag on the sidewalk, left her companions and ran into the street directly in front of the car. As she reached the car tracks she tripped and fell and in mo- ment the car was upon her.
 Shultheiss had noticed the children at their game and with commendable cau- tion slowed his car down. In a moment as the child left the curb he had damned on the brake and dropped the fender, stopping his car within the space of ten feet. When they reached the child she lay just in front of the wheel, jammed in between the scraper and the ground She was crying as though more scared than hurt and when being pulled out complained that her hand was caught. Dr. Frank A. Kirbys office was but short distance away and to this she was immediately taken. Dr. Kirby found upon examination that she had sustained two scalp wounds, which he sewed up, and that she was hurt about the legs and body. No bones were broken, but Dr. Kirby fears that she may have sus- tained concussion of the brain.
 The affair was seen by number of bystanders, all of whom say that Shult- heiss was in no way to blame and that he did everything in his power to avert the accident. The child ran blindly into the street and it was by a miracle only that she was not killed outright. Shult heiss resides at 225 Exchange street. Fair Haven and is looked upon as a very careful man. He felt the unfortu- nate accident keenly.

PROMINENT SPANI4RDS ANXIOUS.
Declare They win Leave Cuba When
 the American Troops Do.

Havana April 23.-Every now and again some prominent Spaniard calls upon Major General Brooke and en- deavors to learn, in more or less diplo- matic way, how long the United States government intends to occupy Cuba. Such a caller usually says that his stay will be only as long as that of the American troops and that when they go he will go. The same sort of questions are asked of the United States military authorities at the various provincial capitols and of such civilian Americans as arc supposed to be cognizant of the purposes Of President Mckinley in the main The Spanards are apparently apprehensve as to tine future; and pass age to Europe by the French and Span ish lines is being booked three or four months ahead.

NO TREASON EXISTS.
Statement of Secretary Algcr Based on
 Reports from General Otis.

Reports from General Otis. Washington, April 23.-Secretary Al ger has received from Major General Otis. commanding the troops in the Philippines, a report regarding the al- legged reasonable communications which it had been asserted have pass ed between people in this country and the soldiers, The secretary felt from the first that there was no ground for the sensational statement made, but as a matter of public policy took imme- diate steps to learn from General Otis what, if any foundation existed for them. The latter's report shows that one of the regiments under his con- mand received some cablegrams read ing as follows: Don't enlist boys" One or two of these were signed Com mittee" or ''The committee" while oth- CTS had no signatures. The secretary did not make public the names of the organization to which the despatches had been sent. The whole matter had been very much exaggerated he said, as General Otis reports showed that it was only to the above extent that any communications of the character stated had passed. He attributed them entire ly to the work of mischiefmakers who. because of their cowardly spirit, had re- fused to put their names to the de- spatches.

MISSING BOAT TO UND.
Story of the FouMdcring of the Steamer
 General Whitney.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 2S.-A special to the Times Union and Citizen from | St. Augustine says: Considerable eX- citement was created here early this afternoon by a small boat out at sea
 giving signals of distress. Captain AL len immediately went to it's assistance. Upon nearing the boat he found it to be the missing lifeboat of the steamer General Whitney, which foundered north of Cape Canaveral during Friday night Captain Allen transferred the sailors from their cramped quarters to
 his yacht and brought them ashore,
 where a large crowd awaited them. Hot
 coffee and food were furnished them at
 once upon the boat and the poor fellows
 fairly banqueted.
 The story of the disaster as told by
 Mate Mattson and his men was thrill
 ling one. One of the bulkheads sprung
 aleak from the heavy seas which were
 prevailing during the early part of Fri
 day night. All hands were ordered to
 the pumps and worked hard, but the holds soon began to fill in spite of their efforts. The officers and men, realizing that the steamer was sinking fast, took
 to the two lifeboats. Captain J. w. Hawthorne and fifteen men went in the first boat and were never again seen by the remaining men. Shortly afterwards Mate Mattson and the remainder of the crew, fourteen men, took to the second boat They had a compass and began to row for the shore A strong wind was prevailing, creating heavy sea, and the men at the oars could make no headway.
 All day Saturday the men tried to ap- proach shore, but could not even get glimpse of it and almost despaired when they found they had no water. They spent all of Saturday night at the mer- cy of the sea, which washed over the frail boat frequently. Early this morn- ing they sighted land and with redou- bled energy they took their turns at the oars. When near enough to land they imbrovised a flag with canvass tackled to an oar, and it was then that Captain Allen went to their assistance The men when they were landed were drenched to the skin and almost famish- ed, but warm food soon revived their spirits and they cheerfully narrated their experience. They will remain here until they receive instructions from New York Besides Mattson, who con- ducted the party through the rough trip, the survivors are Charles Andy, H. Kemper, D. Jackson, Louis Cook, George Cook, H. Lewis, G. l.. Olsen, Ed ward Seablum, Patrick O'Neil, N. Lar sen, J. Nelson, George Linge, J. Davis and Thomas Cavanaugh. These men were at sea in their open skiff forty eight hours and most of the time with out water

CAPTAIN COGHLAN'S CHARGES.
No Response Yet to an Official Request
 for m ExpInMattOM.

Washington, April 23.-Navy departs
 ment officials say that no word has been received from Captain Coghlan of
 the Raleigh in response to a request made of him by Secretary Long for a
 statement as to whether he was cor-g rectly reported in his recent speech at New York respecting the relations be- tween the Germans and the Americans during the blockade of Manila bay last year. It is the custom of the depart- ment when it takes notice of remarks made by naval officers which may be regarded as improper or offensive to an individual or nation first to call upon the offending person for statement as to whether he has been correctly re- ported in preference to taking what may be printed in the newspapers as a basis of action. Captain Cohglans an- swer to the departments request, there- fore, will be awaited before any further attention is given to the matter. The officials were somewhat surprised to read in the morning papers the addi- tional observations made by Captain Coghlan in his speech before the Army and Navy club in New York last night as they hoped he had taken warning by the unfavorable comments which his former remarks had caused.

The despatch is in response to ar inquiry sent by Secretary Long yesterday, not because the latter thought the admiral was not making every effort to rescue the men, but to show the friends of the prisoners that the department was not indifferent to their fate or remiss in it's endeavors to assist them in regalning their liberty

BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds of men en-.
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings a weekly profit Of
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun
dreds Of families live comfortably
on the profits Of the sale of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with the boys is the Post
Dispatch, because it sells best.
An investigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies of the
daily Post t-Dispatch than the
combined sales Of the two other
English evening papers.
One Of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and go when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk
the streets each having his own
peculiar way Of crying" out his
papers.
The situation is quite differen
on Sunday. The papers are
printed in the morning and by
six O'Clock the boys and men are
out in search Of buyers.
There are four English Sunday
papers. Many boys take out 300
papers. A boy taking from two
TO three hundred papers has all
he can do to get over the ground.
Sundays as on week days finds
the Post.Dispatch everywhere.
It's a ready seller. It's tho
"most for the money" The
Sunday Post Dispatch has many
original and exclusive features,
including the Colored Comic
Weekly.
