Tupelo, Miss, March 1.-The train bear

Missouri regiment of volunteers home from
Albany, Ga, where they were yesterday
mustered out of the service, was wrecked
two miles south of this place this morning
on the Mobile and Ohio railroad at 500 a.
m. Four cars in which the soldiers wer,
seated were dashed from the track and
hurled down twenty-foot embankment.
The third car from the engine was a total
wreck, and from tho appearance of things
all escapes were miraculous.
The following received more or less in
juries:
Jake Stanler, Company e, Pierce City,

The injured were Immediately taken from
their perilous positions by their more for
tunate comrades who worked bravely to
save their companions The position of the
cars were extremely dangerous after the
fearful crash, as they hung over the brink
of a trestle that crossed a stream twenty
feet below Fortunately they regained
their position, for a number of fatalities
would have occurred had the sleeper gone
down. The injured were brought here on
cots and immediate attention given them.
At this time 1t is impossible to say wheth-
er or not any of the wounded will die from
their injuries, but the physicians express
the hope that all will recover. General
Manager Carroll and other officials of the
road are at the scene of the wreck and
are doing all in their power to relieve the
suffering. The physicians of Verona and
this place have worked faithfully dressing
the wounds of the men and the citizens
generally have rendered all in their power
to administer to their comfort.

IS ALUM POISONOUS?
Whitens the Bakers Bread But Plays
Havoc With Stomach of Consumer.

Alum is used by many bakers to whiten
their bread, enabling them to use an n
ferior flour, and 1t is also employed as a
cheap substitute for cream of tartar in the
manufacture of baking powder. Its use
In bread and baking powder is very detri-
mental to health, producing dyspepsia and
obstinate constipation, and under certain
conditions of the human system results IN
poisoning. What these conditions are so
far as each Individual is concerned can only
be surmised; some peculiarly of the system
producing a morbid change in the secre-
tons of the stomach with which the alum
combines and forms an active poison; or
the secretions may be healthy but In abnor-
NAL proportions, and these lesser or greater
proportions in combination with the alum
constitute a poison just as two parts of
mercury and two parts chlorine form cal
omel, which is not poisonous, while one
part of mercury and two parts of chlorine
yield corrosive sublimate, which Is a most
deadly poison.

CLIMAX REACHED
Brooke Refuses to ABOVE expenditure at
Santiago.

Santiago de Cuba, March "A climax has
been reached in the affairs of Santiago. The
estimates for February have been reduced
from $4,000 to 100000 and amounts aggre-
eating $4,000 expended last month have
been disallowed by the authorities at Ha-
yana.
General Wood, military governor, says
it is impossible to estimate exactly a month
ahead and thinks the best plan would be to
forward a certain percentage to Havana
every month, the department commander
having the privilege of using the balance
subject to objection later as under the
present system it is impossible to run the
government here. For the month of March
all expenditures for the entire province
must be kept within $4,000.
Even those Cubans who are most friend
ly to the United States authorities say that
this amount is less than will be allowed at
any time under the Spanish regime
Tomorrow more than 700 men will be out
OF work, circumstance generally recog-
nized as dangerous menace to public
safety at just this juncture and involving a
large additional police force.
After considerable delay the former Span
ish cruiser Reina Mercedes, which was
sunk in the channel of Santiago harbor
during the bombardment by SIMPSONS
fleet, has been raised and pumped out

GEN. GoMEz'S REQUEST.
Asks That Army of Occupation be Re-

Havana, March 2.-General Maxine Go
mez asks Governor-General Brooke to re-
duce the American army of occupation to
10000 men, retaining 10000 Cuban soldiers
in the service of the military government.
At least SO says Senior Manuel De Cess
pedes, who acted as Interpreter at yester-
days council, adding that General Brooke
took the proposition under consideration
and promised to consult Washington.
General Brooke himself says nothing on
the subject.
The Cuban military assembly met today
at Malianao, General Andre presiding. 1t Is
understood, however, that the session was
a stormy one, the discussion being over the
acceptance of $3,0OO,OO0 rendered by the
United States government. Seventeen MEM
bers, it Is said, favor accepting this amount,
but no final decision was reached, and the
assembly Will meet tomorrow afternoon at
Ell Correo.

DAY OF ROUTINE
Senate Clears the Calendar of Some
Private Bills.

washington, March 2.-During almost the
entire session today the senate was en-
gagged in routine business Three score or
more of minor bills were passed, the calen-

sion bills and of measures correcting mill
tary and naval records. The measures of
national Importance passed, were the for
tifications bill and the bill providing a code
of criminal laws for the District of
Alaska.
The former was passed precisely as it
came from the house without amendment
and goes to the president. The conference
reports on the census and naval personnel
bills were agreed to and these measures
also go to the president.

has invited President Mckinley to go with
him next week to his place at Townsville,
Ga, for rest, and the president has
promised to go If official business by that

the president had indicated n strong desire
to accept the invitation, and that he felt
encouraged to hope that he would find
himself able to do so. If the trip is made
it will be made only for the purpose of Sc

deal to say about the shortcomings of
our army system, under which only a
ridicuIously small force of trained sol

a force quite insufficient to do our
