The injured were Immediately taken
from their perilous position by their
more fortunate comrades, who worked
bravely, The position of the cars was
extremely dangerous after the first
crash as they hung over the brink of a
trestle that crossed stream 90 feet
below. Fortunately they held their
position, for a number of fatalities
would have occurred had the sleeper
gone down.
General Manager Carroll and other
officials OF the road were at the scene
OF the wreck and did all in their power
to relieve the suffering. The physi.
clans of Verona and this place have
worked faithfully dressing the wounds
of the injured and the citizens have
rendered all assistance in their power.

Washington, March 3. The secretary
OF war ordered yesterday the reinforce.
ment Of Gen. Otis by six regiments
These are the Sixth artillery, now at
San Antonio; the Sixth infantry, scat
tered along the Atlantic coast
stations; the Ninth infantry at Madi.
son barracks; Thirteenth infantry in
New York state; Twenty-frst infantry
at Plattsburg, N. y, and the Six.

Fort Leavenworth and neighboring
posts in the middle west. These regi.
ments have been ordered to make
ready to proceed to San Francisco and
thence to Manila.
In answer to the direct question as
to whether or not these regular troops
are intended to relieve a correspond

would be the case, it was not possible
yet to make a positive statement
Admiral Dewey is again pressing
on the navy department the urgent
need Of vessels of light draft as a
means OF communication among the
numerous small islands of the Philip
pine group. To this end the gunboat
Vixen, which figured bravely for a
vessel of her light caliber at the out
set Of the Cuban campaign, has been
ordered to be Immediately fitted out
at the Norfolk navy yard for sailing
for Manila. The department is anx-
ious TO afford Admiral Dewey all the
assistance possible. lie has repeatedly
called attention to the great impor-
tance Of this work and has emphasized
the fact that it is the light vessels, fit
to skirmish about in the shallow
waters and TO run in and out of har-
bors where the larger ones would be
useless, that he wants rather than the
heavier types.
A GuNBOAT sCATTERs THE REBELS.
Manila, March 3. The former Span
ish gunboat LA Cuna de Bay steamed
up tie river opposite Macati yester-
dav and opened fire on the insurgents
on the opposite side Of the river from
Gen. Wheaton's brigade. She fired her
four Gatlngs, two Nordenfeldts and a
one pounier.
At first the insurgents replied with
rifle fire, but they could not stand be-
fore the halt from the Gatlings. The
engagement lasted three-quarters OF
an nonr and then the insurgents scat
tered, but as soon as the lronclad with
dew the insurgents returned and
again opened slow and annoying fire
across the river.

CHANGES FOR COLUMBIA.

Undoubtedly there will be a few
changes in some of the new sails, for, as
compared with Defenders, which are well
nigh perfect, they seemed drawn and
puckered in many places. The mainsail
had a fullness near the leash which three
battens failed to f1atten out, and closer to
the mast at the hoist the canvass was
far too fiat to drive the boat we'll to
windward. The club topsail certainly set
better than the old one, but the stiff
breeze soon stretched the canvas so much
that the leash loosened and fluttered all
the way to the mark. AS for her head
sails both were far better than the old
ones, and a touching UP here and there
is all that is required.
Nearly all eyes were turned, at least
part of the time, on the steel mast that
proved so treacherous when first it was
tried Today it stood up straighter than
any pine mast could have done, with not
the slightest sign of a buckle, leaving lit
tie doubt that this mast. or similar
affair will go through the cup races sue
cessfully, and aid her materially in de-
feating the Shamrock
With new sails, q new mast and FEW
more races for the crews benefit the

The cities themselves are ready. They

cially, has always sent thousands to the
fair grounds and will do so again their
year. st. Paul day comes on Thursday

people will not confine their going to

ought to draw many thousands each
evening. The evening entertainments and
opening of the grounds and buildings
will also be a great accommodation to all
whose daily occupations prevent them
from going to the fair grounds during the
cay time.
IL addition to the attractions which are
scheduled for each afternoon and even
irg there are scores of lesser amuse-
ments, entertainment features, music,
lectures and what not, which shows that
the managers Of the fair are alive to the
varied wants and tastes of the people.
It is quite appropriate that these gen
tlemen who have labored so long and
earnestly for the success of the fair,
should have credit for the results. The
public should at least know to whom
1t is Indebted for the excellent exhibition
which will be seen at their fair grounds
all next week. The fair this year Is offi-
cered as follows:

TIDE HAS FINALLY TURNED

Result of the Days Testimony, They
Claim, Puts the Verdict Out of
Doubt, Compelling the Judges to
Acquit Dreyfus of the Charge of
Treason Maj. Hartman's State
ments Unrefuted.
RENNES, Sept 2.--Elation Is the only
word that expresses the feelings of the
Dreyfusards after today's proceedings
The tide has turned at last, they say,
and Dreyfus cannot be condemned after
the evidence given this morning.
The spirits of the Dreyfusards are quite
mercurial Every day since the opening
of the trial has seen them rise or fall,
and recently they have been falling heav
lily, the close of the mornings sessions
generally finding them in anxious conver-
satien, accompanied by ominous shaking
of their heads. Today's buoyancy there
fore, is all the more noteworthy. Yester-
day was a fairly good day, but todays
session, they claim, puts the verdict out
of doubt, and the judges must acquit
Dreyfus.
Maj. Hartman, Of the artillery, occu-
pied nearly half the session with the con-
clusion of his expert evidence to the eff
feet that Dreyfus as an artillery officer,
would not have displayed such ignorance
regarding guns and brakes as shown in
the bordereau, while the other subjects
of the bordereau were matters upon
which any officer could inform himself.
Maj Hartmans testimony practically
stood uncontested, as neither Gen. Deloic
nor Gen. Mercer, who replied, refuted
any material point therein.
CENTER OF INTEREST.
Interest today centered largely in the
testimony of Maj. Hartman of the artil-
lery, which was interrupted by the ad-
journment of the court yesterday.
The major, who has done great service
for the Defense resumed his important
deposition regarding artillery matters and
the bringing out of points and phrase
ology in the bordereau indicating that
the writer could not be Dreyfus. The
witness wished to enter into the ques-
ton of the Robin shell, but on Gen. De-
loye's objecting to a statement on the
subject in open court, Maj Hartmann
asked to be allowed to give 1t behind
closed doors, saying 1t would only take
him a few minutes to CALI attention to
the point he had In mind. The president
of the court, Col Jouaust, decided to
hear part Of the witness testimony in
camera at the end Of today's session, or
at the beginning of Mondays session.
He pointed out that much depended

More Badges Will BE Sold
Success has crowned the efforts of the
st. Paul people who have so Loyalty lent
their services to the work of raising
enough money to bring the four Thir-
teenth regiment companies home, and all
that now remains is the auditing of the
receipts by a committee that will be to-
day named by President Hamlin, of the
Commercial club. The exact amount coll
lected is not known, but President Ham
lin stated last evening that it would not
be far from $1,000 He will, be prepared
to make final report upon the badge
sales some time this afternoon.
Secretary Stine was buried in work at
his office until a late hour last night and
expects to have the badge business pretty
well cleaned up by today. There are
still some who have badges that have
made no return to the committee, but it
was stated definitely last night that ST.
Paul has enough money on hand to bring
it's soldier boys back to Minnesota. The
task which has been accomplished can
be appreciated only in a small way by
those who have never had any experience
in public subscriptions of this kind. 1t
was a work of sentiment; the cause ap-
Pealed to ALL and every one felt in SYM
pathy with the movement yet 1t was a
big undertaking, well and quickly accom-
piished, and TO a large number belongs
credit for the success achieved.
EACH A PART OF. THE WHOLE
Every one that contributed can feel
that he or she had some part in bringing
the regiment home without cost to the
brave boys, who did credit to the fair
name of Minnesota in score of Sklr-
1nishes and battles and hard years cam
paignng in foreign cline. It was this
test that brought out the best qualities
Of the regiment collectively and indl-
