It has often been remarked that civil

This is because in towns and cities their

hand, are generally gifted with remark
ably keen sight, and few tribes are
more noteworthy in this respect than
the African bushmen, whose eyes are
veritable telescopes. This power is no

TROOPS TO LEAVE CUBA.

tn Come Home for Muster Out.
washington, March 1.-THE war de-
partment has determined to muster out
and bring home all the volunteers in
Cuba with the exception of the volun-
teer engineers and immunes. When the
troops are brought to this country they
must under the law be mustered out in
United States camps, and they no doubt
will be brought to camps nearest their
homes.
It is desired also to have them brought
to places where fumigating can be done,
and it is possible that troops for north
ern states may be brought to Montauk
and Camp Wikoff again be established,
although the present intention is to
have all northern troops sent to Camp
Meade in Pennsylvania.

three trainmen and the injury of four
others. The dead are: Luke Boyse

man, internally, slightly; Arthur Good

The collision was between a switch
engine in charge of Luke Boyse and
east-bound fast freight No. As, a double
header. The shock threw Boyse's en-
CINE back, pinning him against the
tender, crushing him fearfully.~ His
engine, which remained on the track,
ran wild to the yards, where it crashed
into and demolished a freight car. The
shock derailed the second engine Of the
fast freight. Engineer Doyle and Fire
man Graham went down in the wreck
and were killed instantly.
