Serious Disaster on the Chicago Great

Serious Disaster the Chicago Great
Western.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Jan. 2B.-By collision
on the Chicago Great Western between
two freight trains three men were killed
and large amount of railroad property
destroyed. An extra eastbound double.
header freight had orders to meet an
extra freight at Hanover, Ills. The
train from Dubuque remained ON the
main track and the extra instead Of
switching crashed into the other train.
The crew Of the latter saved themselves
by jumping, but the other crew re
manned aboard and We're in the wreck.
The crash was terrific. Both engines
were completely demolished, 80 cars of
the westbound train were piled in a
wrecked heap and three of its crew

man, Chicago-were killed. The cause
of the accident is believed to have been
a misunderstanding of orders. The
road was blocked all day, Great West
ern trains reaching this city over the
Illinois Central.

the Liberals, and among the latter it has
been openly asserted that unless the
present difficulties are solved by the end
of the month they will themselves take
the lead in persuading the people to call
Don Carlos to the throne.
1t is surprising to what an extent the
feeling that the triumph of Carlism is
the only chance for the regeneration of
Spain has
Spread Throughout the Country
during the last few months. Go where
you will that is the question chiefly dis
cussed. Only the clergy hold aloof, pro-
Tossing attachment to the regency in
obedience to the pope's instructions.
The governments attitude toward the
movement is curious and perplexing.
While many of the leading Carlists have
left Spain in order to avoid arrest 9TH
srs no less prominent are permitted to
address public meetings in large towns
and to pursue their propaganda in the
press unmolested. In some places Car
list clubs are closed while in others,
like Barcelona, they are
Allowed to Flourish Openly.
Carlist books and pamphlets are widely
sold and in political circles there is talk
of suggesting comprehension Car
los to mount the throne on the under
standing of speedy abdication in favor
of his son Don Jaime who would marry
the Infanta Maria. 1t is certain, how
ever, that Don Carlos would reject such
an offer.
Many officers do not hesitate to de-
clare in favor of Don Carlos, but the
army waits for leader. Nobody un-
derstands General Weyler's intentions
and the generals hesitate to make pro-
nunciamento. The opinion of the Car
lists and many non-Carlists is that if
Don Carlos should land in Spain the
army would go over to him in over
whelming numbers.

is by no means an isolated one. All
over the valley are small bands of in
surgent troops who refused to disarm
and whose officers will permit their
men to work only three days week,
compelling them to

that certain of these people, firing Of
the tyranny of their officers, have ap.
piled to him for protection, which
has been invariably granted. Twenty
three plantations in the Guantanamo
district are now guarded by United
States troops, the work engaging the
greater part of Colonel Rays regiment,
in addition to the troops whose head.
quarters are at Baracoa and Sagua de
Tanano. He says he cannot understand
the intentions in burning the planta,

district unsettled. At all events, the
existence of these rowing bands is ex
ceedingly imprudent.

The rreub!e in the Philippines.

1t now looks as though consider
able effort will be required to sub.
due the Filipinos. They seem to
think that it is a hardship tn = they
are not allowed to plumber the
wealthy citizens of Manila and
commit all kinds of excuses. Ag,Hn-
aldo could not control his followers,
and the American troops have no
choice but to shoot them or let them
have their own way. The truth is
the Americans have either got to
fight or Withdraw from the Archi-
pelago. If they could catch Augin-
aldo the war would most likely soon
be ended. but as long as he is at
large, there can be no peace. The
losses incurred in the recent battles
do not seem to exercise any deterrent
effect and there seems now no choice
but more blood shedding. In Our
desire TO establish peace, it seems
we have made Il mistake but a few
weeks may change the appearance
of affairs, and teach the rebels bet
ter sense. III the meantime our
army is to be increased and our
rights maintained. We don't wish
to encourage strife and bloodshed,
but all great advances in civil re-
form have been achieved through
the shedding of blood and such may
be the case in this instance.

viii be Tried for Surrendering

All the surviving captains of the
Spanish warships which were de-
stroyed in the naval battles off Ma
Mia and Santiago, by the American
fleets, fare to be court martialed.
Such a course is reprehensible, as
the result would in no way have
been different, if the best man who
lives in Spain had been in command.
The fact is the governmental Spain
is behind the age and her vessels
and gunners were not equal to cope
with those of this nation, and there
is nothing to be gained by the min
istry condemning the commanders

the circumstances, and it is an old

Washington, Feb 1.-Two very sem

treaty was stricken out upon a point
Of order made by Mr.. Wheeler a Ken
lucky Democrat. who declared that he
opposed the appropriation on principle
and would resort to any technicality to
defeat it.. Mr.. Hopkins Qll.), who was
in the chair, sustained the point of
order and upon an appeal his decision
was sustained. $40 to Sc. Mr.. Cannon
then attempted to have the appropria-
ton inserted by unanimous consent,
but Mr. Wheeler again objected. A
strong intimation was given by Mr..
Cannon that way would be found
within the rules to make the appro-
priation before the adjournment Of
congress. lie referred undoubtedly to
the probability that the appropriation
would be placed on the bill by the sem
ate.
After the sundry civil bill had been
completed and reported to the house
Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa, the champion of
the Nicaragua canal bill. moved to re.
commit 1t with instructions to report
ii back with the canal bill Incorporated
in 1t. The motion was promptly de-
clared out of order by the speaker,
whereupon MIR. Hepburn appealed and
Mr.. Payne, of New York, moved to lay
the appeal on the table. Upon the lat
ter motion the vote was taken and the
result was 81 yeas to g. nays. AS no
quorum was developed on the vote. ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour, they
managed to carry an adjournment.
The army reorganization bill was re-
ported to the senate yesterday and Mr..
Hawley, chairman OF the military af-
fairs committee, gave notice that he
would move to proceed to its considera-
lion at the earliest possible time. The
naval personnel bill was taken up and
read, but no effort made to proceed fur
ther with It's consideration. The mill
