HEAVY POSTAL FRAUDS
A s75, 900 Shortage is Admitted by the
Department.

Havana, May S.-The postal frauds
have been the principal topic of con-
versation in Havana today. The de-
partment Of posts admits a shortage of
$75, 900, but further investigation
brought to light the fact that in July OF
last year the receipts showed a falling
off of about $40, 900 from the average
month previous. and this shortage has
been kept UP ever since.
1t appears about this time that Di-
rector of Posts Rathbone gave orders
for the destruction Of SAIL 900 worth OF
surcharge stamps on account OF the
issue of new stamps. This work of
destruction was left in the hands of
Charles F. w. Nicely and his assist
ants, but it is 20 believed that none
of these stamps were destroyed. the
theory being they were sent out with
the new stamps. That others than Nee
ly are involved in the implicitly it Is
believed, although the evidence yet is
not sufficient to justify their arrest.
Nevertheless, should certain persons at
tempt to leave the island they will be
taken in custody.

lied what awaited them at the end of
the spur, and, reversing their engines,
Jumped in. the nick of time. Banta and
Johnson were warned but for some I'M
known reason did not jump in time.
The employees who escaped say the sight
at the foot Of the embankment was one
never to be forgotten.
The two locomotives lay buried in
the mud. and covered by II broken cars
They threw tut the live Goals that start
ed "A fire and transformed the heaps or
debris into a crematory. The flames
tanned I'D the crushed and bleeding
body of Banta in plain view of the lit
tie band of rescuers, composed of the
conductor and brakemen, who were
straining every nerve and muscle to
rescue the bodies of Johnson and the
unknown boys from the fiery furnace.
The of the flames soon put
a stop to the work of rescue and the
trainmen started for the nearest tele-
graph station to notify the officials of
the awful catastrophe and summon AID.
The wreckers and physicians were soon
upon the scene. but, aside from dressing
the wounds of the engineers, and car
rying the dead bodies to the train, moth
ing could be done.
The eleven cars were loaded with
valuable freight. All vas destroyed,
but the loss cannot be ascertained now
There seems to be little doubt THAI
when the smouldering wreckage Is re-
moved the charred remains Of other
victims of the terrible accident will be
found. A large force of men is on the
scene. but nothing further can be learn
ed today.
The officials the making a careful in
~vestigation Of the eau of the wreck.
1t is reported that the switch was
thrown by train w%reckers. who wanted
to ditch and plumber the e~ast-bound
fast express. Another report has it
that a careless employe left the switch
open. Banta and Johnson were young
men on the road. but had given excel

-FOUR WERE KILLED
lDOUBLE-HEADER FAST FREIGHT
PLUNGES DOWN AN EN-
BANKMENT.
Catastrophe Happened at O'Neill Side
Track, Sixteen Miles West OF Raw
lins-Two Firemen and TWO
Tramps Killed-One Body Burned
to a Crisp-Engineers Injured.

One of the worst wrecks which has
occurred in Wyoming in recent years
took place at O'Neill side track, l6
miles west of Rawlins, on the Union
! Pacific, yesterday.
An east-bound fast freight train,
drawn by two locomotives, dashed in
to an open switch and down a high m
bankment. The dead are:
Louis Banta, Rawlins. fireman.
James johnson, fireman, Rawlins.
Two boys, aged about 20 years each,
who were stealing a ride, and whose
names are unknown.
The injured engineers, Frank Reh
meyer and Andy Sheeler, will both re-
cover
Both engines and eleven cars were
buried in the mud and water at the bot
tom Of the embankment.
The dead firemen and two boy tramps
were caught under the ~wreckage. The
bodies of three were recovered, but
that of Banta was burned to a crisp.
1t is feared that other men lost their
lives in the accident, as a large number
of tramps are passing over the road
and several were seen OF the Inflated
train shortly before the catastrophe.
Engineers Rehemeyer and Sheeler
jumped from their engines before the
end Of the siding a reached, and es-
capped with a few injuries.
Just when, or by whom, the switch
at O'Neill was left open is not known.
1t is at the top of a steep hill and the
engineer Of the head locomotive did not
discover the danger until within a few
feet of the switch. The engines were
reversed, but the train had attained
high speed on the down grade and
could not be stopped.
Wreaking outfits and surgeons were
sent to the wreck from Rawlins.
Superintendent Harris and other Of

London, May 9.-4:10 a. m.-Four
thousand British cavalry watered their
horses at the Zand river, Monday, 20
miles beyond Smaldeel, where Lord
Roberts continues to date dispatches.
Scouts who have been searching the
country for miles along the stream,
have found no Beers south of the river.
The enemy is laagered in unknown
force on the north bank. Thus the
British advance guard is within 40
miles of Kroonstad. The Free Skaters,
in expectation that Kroonstad will
speedily become %utenable, are, accord
ing to information from LOurenzo Mar
ques. preparing to transfer their gov
eminent to Hebron, a little more than
50 miles northeast.
Tidings from Mafeking are gloomier
than ever. Everybody there has an
empty stomach and a pinched face. The
natives no longer are given porridge
and the whites now have nothing but a
quarter of that substance and a pound Of
horse augage daily. Everything else
eatable is gone. Insufficient food, wet
trenches and cold nights are deadly to
the health of the garrison. This infor-
nation comes from reliable natives.

EMPLOYEES TO BE PENSIONED.
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Perfects
Plan Looking to that End.

officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul railroad have for some time
had under consideration a plan for the
l~relief and pensioning of employees, m
bracing all the best features of the re-
lief department of the Baltimore & Ohio
and the pension fund Of the Pennsylva-
mia system. The proposition has now
been perfected and will be submitted
to the employees of the company for
their approval June /. Between u 900
and 1000 employees will be affected.
The plan of the Milwaukee officials
contemplates the raising of a fund for
the relief and pensioning of employees
by the payment of specific installments
by the men and a yearly cash coutri-
button from the treasury. In this man.
ner a fixed annual sum of available
money will be established.
After serving a specific number of
years employees will have the option of
retiring on pensions when they reach
the age Of co, and none will be permit
ted to serve after the age of 10 is
reached. The pensions will be based
on the salaries received at the time of
refinement.
The relief feature Of the department
is intended to benefit employees who are
incapacitated temporarily for service
by reason of accident, sickness or 9TH
er cause.
The fund will be under control of a
relief committee consisting Of three
members appointed by the president of
the road, the latter being an ex-officio
member of the body, and an advisory
~resenting the employees.
