BANDERA AND GOMEZ.
Their Recent Interview Supposed to
BE Part of a Political Scheme.

HAVANA, Sept. D.-Quintin Bandera still
remains in Havana, purchasing the plant
for the newspaper he intends to establish
in Santiago de Cuba. His stay causes no
little trouble among the leading Cuban
politicians of all parties. owing to the news
of the formation of a negro party in the
eastern provinces. Moreover, Gualberto Co.
mez, by his threat to form a third Havana
party, has forced premature union between
the Cuban National League and the Cuban
National party. Although the white Gu
bans assert that there Is no likelihood of
any trouble in Cuba, still the amount
of space that all the newspapers have given
to the newly founded negro party of late
goes TO show a belief that the eastern
provinces could seriously affect the political
future of the island, and the politicians
are having every movement of Bandera
closely watched by special detectives.
Considering the former relations between
Maxine Gomez and Bandera, many claim
that the recent interview between them was
part of a deep political scheme and that
accounts of 1t as published were quite diff
ferent from what passed between the two
men. The opponents of General Gomez
contend that he looks to the eastern PROV
inces the principal source of fighting
power. knowing that Bandera has a strong
following of former negro insurgents Their
theory Is that Gomez is ready to conciliate
Bandera, with view TO a possible future
combination.
The northern districts of Puerto Principe
have been without rain for nearly ten
months As consequence the sugar crops
are the smallest on record. The citizens of
Nuevitas are driven TO import fresh water
from Havana for drinking purposes, the
local wells being exhausted, and water Is
now selling sometimes high as % cents

10 O'Clock Last Night.
THE BAGGAGEMASTER WILL DIE
ENGINEER JENKINS, OF FREIGHT
TRAIN, FORGOT HIS ORDERS.
Five People I'm All Were Injured
Boilers of Both Engines Ex-
pIoded After the Wreck.

A disastrous wreck occurred on the p,
c., C.. & st. l.. Railroad six miles east of
Cambridge City last night, in which the
following people were injured:
WARREN GIPE, engineer passenger
train No. AZ, bruised and badly scalded.
JOHN WARRICK, fireman of passenger
train, arm and shoulder injured and
thought to be injured internally.
CHARLES JENKINS, engineer Of the
freight train bruised about the head and
injured internally, thought to be seriously
hurt
JOHN PUGH, fireman, freight. badly
bruised and cut about the head
BAGGAGE MASTER HICKS, ribs
crushed and injured internally. His condi-
ton is serious, and will probably die.
The wreck occurred on curve at Har-
vey's crossing and was a head-end col
lision between an extra freight train east
bound, with Engine $50 and Engineer Jen-
kins. and Sunday passenger train west
coach and two passenger coaches.
Both engines were telescoped, and
Immediately after they struck both
boilers exploded. Engineer jenkins
was found wandering in field about a
hundred yards from the wreck, and it is sup
posed he jumped from the engine when he
saw the 'impossibility of stopping his
train and was injured by the flying
debris. The head brakeman was rid
ing i'm the engine and is missing,
and it is thought that he is under the wreck.
Baggagemaster Hicks, whose injuries may
prove fatal. was found under the wrecked
baggage car and it was with great diff
Guilty that he was taken out The passengers
escaped serious injury. The fault rests with
Engineer Jenkins, who, it is claimed. forgot
all about the Sunday train as he was en-
deavoring to make Jackson Hill siding for

A train which was due in indianapolis at
10 o'clock last night did not arrive until 2
o'clock this morning. 1t was stopped at
Richmond, and were sent in by way of
Hagerstown. But two passengers who were
in the wreck were on the train and both
went on through the city. None of the crew
or officials would talk about the wreck
and professed to know nothing about it, The
passengers had many different stories about

reached the scene of the wreck and all they
knew was from hearsay. A late dispatch

killed. The loss to the railroad company

City Ownership Of Street Railways.
Ia Ma Cazipe

From the beginning Glasgow owned its
own street-railway lines. 1t was too careful
of its streets to allow any company to con-
troll them. Though the conditions under
which a company leased the lines for
twenty-one years were highly favorable to
the city, at the expiration of the lease IL
was decided not 10 renew IL. An offer was
made to take over the company's rolling
stock, stables, etc, on an arbitrators valr:-
alton, on condition that the company should
not put on a rival line Of buses. AS this
was declined, the Council started shops.
ord equipped the line with new material en-
tirely On the day OF the transfer the COM
peting omnibuses appeared but the citizens
had long experienced the advantages of loyal
support of their own government. All the
Establishments Of the omnibus conductors
were unavailing: the omnibuses ran empty,
while the street cars were crowded and
soon the chagrined rivals withdrew from the
uneven contest. Scotch shrewdness has been
justified Of her children. For short distances
a system OF l-cent fares has been intro
duced; the cars have been made more ele-
CANT and comfortable; electric traction Is
being installed. In one year the number OF

that the coeficient OF friction for stopping though
