Alonzo Jones, colored, living on
Liberia street, was badly injured in a
runaway accident on Rising Sun hill
Thursday afternoon, and it is almost u
miracle that he was not killed.
He was driving team owned by
Rhoads & Healey. coal dealers, down
Rising Sun hill when the lock of the
wagon broke. The horses became
frightened and started down the hill at
a mad gait. Jones remained at his
post as long as possible, in an effort
to check the runaway horses, but they
had not gone far when he was thrown
out, with the result as stated above.
The horses continued to the foot of
the hill, where they were stopped.
Jones was picked up and conveyed
to the hospital in Mr.. Healey's car
riage. The horses were hurt consider
ably and the wagon was damaged.

A FRENCH C0XEY
Marching on Paris With Fifteen Hun
dred Followers Brought to Halt
at a Suburban Town.

NEW YORK, November pa dis
patch to the Herald from Paris says:
Fifteen hundred strikers at Audin-
Valentigny Beaulieu, in the Doubs
department, most of whom are employ
ed by the NM. Peugeots automobile
factory, started yesterday to march to
Paris.
They were accompanied by $50
cyclists and number of wagons filed
with food. Al half-past one O'Clock in
the afternoon they arrived at Danwau-
tin, a commune before Belfort. The
project was at once informed OF their
arrival and Immediately took charge OF
the police service.
Troops in full marching order were
sent TO guard the road. At o'clock
Pierre Bietrey, who is leading the strik-
ers, came to inform the project who
was waiting for the head of the mill
tary that the strikers had the intention
OF entering Belfort and lodging there
for the night. The project refused 20
allow them to pass. Bietrey replied
that the strikers would pass. all the
same, and returned to Danwautin.
Half and hour afterward the strik-
ers arrived in good order with trum-
pets sounding, drums beating and flags
flying. When they had come within
fifty yards Of the city wall the project
called on them to halt
While the leaders were parleying
with him, NJ. JuIlliard, assistant mayor,
declared that the strikers had a perfect
right TO pass. The project replied that
he alone vas responsible for the public
order. " Juilliard then protested and
withdrew.
NJ Bietrey, who attempted to pass by
another route, was arrested and brought
back to his companions. The situation
was last night still unchanged. The
strikers have lit large fires and are
amusing themselves dancing and sing
ing.
Additional troops have been sent to
the spot

HAVANA, November 22.-Gen. Col
lazo, in an editorial in the Cubano To-
day, says:
we are only waiting for the decis-
ion of the United States Congress. upon
which depends the decision that Cuba
herself will reach. II the language Of
the Americans is not clear. the horizon
of Cuba will darken with tremendous
protests, which viii rise from all parts
Of the island Cubans are resolved
Their words must not be taken as mere
boastings. They will not abuse sol
itary right. They viii not tolerate the
calm, diplomatic cheating Of Washing
ton.
"A worthy people cannot tolerate
foreign interference in their private af-
fairs. even when that interference Is in
the name Of altruism. The Cubans do
not owe the Americans az much now
as they formerly did. Perhaps to-mor-
row they will have reason 70 deny that
they owe them anything al all"

Although it is evident that the situa-
ton in Natal is again becoming suffi-
GENTLY alarming. nothing can be Off
cially ascertained TO allay public anx-
iety or the curiosity felt regarding the
disposition OF the reinforcements land
ed at Durham.

TO a mere recital of a few casualties at
MOOT river, which confirm the reports
Of skirmishes there, but give no details
as to how the engagements happened.

permitted TO describe Major Barton s

DUTCH REPORTS.

PRETORIA, November 21.-The fol-
lowing despatch has been received from
the Boer headquarters near Lady
smith:
The field comets Of the Pretoria
commando reported that British gun
carriages and some horsemen had been
heard moving last night in Lady
smith. Our outpos;s observed the Brit
ish endeavoring to sortie toward Lom-
bard's Kop and Bulwama hill, where
our maxims opened ire. The range
was too great and therefore our artil-
lery began Smelling, which drove the
British back. About daybreak the
British batteries fired upon our posi-
lions. Two burghers were wounded.
1T is supposed that the object of the
sorties was to relieve the Estcourt
force, who had sent an urgent message
to Ladysmith requesting aid. The
burghers captured the messenger, but
finally allowed him TO proceed
1t is reported that the Natal police
have captured a number Of Transyaal
despatch riders.
IN his latest report Gen. Joubert
gays:
4 am cutting off the retreat Of the
Estcourt troops to Pietermaritzburg and
driving them back on the Tugela
river"
1t is also reported that the Boer COM
mander with the forces near Lady
smith, has "comprehensively surveyed
the different points from which the fall
of Ladysmfth can be insured
The official returns of the Transvaal
casualties since the outbreak Of the war
show that ninety men have been killed
and 200 wounded, of whom number
have recovered and returned to the
front.
The Boer report that Gen. Hildyard's
messenger asking Gen. White for as
sistanee was captured causes some W.
easiness, but it is argued that if Gen.
Hildyard had not been strong enough
to hold out, he would some time ago
have been ordered to retire on Pieter-
maritzburg Therefore small credence
is given the story.
Nothing IS known regarding the food
supplies of the garrisons thus isolated.
II is believed that Estcourt is well pro
vided. but there is less confidence in the
case of Moot river.
