SLEPT AT HIS POST.


Philadelphia, May 13.-Frank Lam
tel, tower operator in the employ
of the Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad Co.,
stationed at the entrance of the tun-
mel under Twenty-ffth street, just
outside of Fairmount park, it is
claimed. slept at his post. AS re-
suit disastrous rear-end freight col
lision occurred early Saturday in the
tunnel, causing the death of Engin-
eer George Loeb and Fireman George
Hinchman, and it is believed five
tramps were stealing ride. Fire fol-
lowed the wreck, and dozen or more
tiremen were injured while fighting
the flames, and are now in the hos
pitfalls.
All of the dead were still in the
wreckage Saturday forenoon. and the
fire department was unable to extin-
gush the flames, which slowly con-
sumed the demolisher cars. Operator
Lantel disappeared and the police are
looking for him.
The vicinity of the tunnel after the
accident became the scene of wild
excitement. No one could approach
nearer than within 200 feet of either
opening owing to the volume of
flame and smoke which is issuing
therefrom. The fast New York-bound
express freight train of 3s cars reach
ed the tunnel on time and slowed
down so that some of the cars could
be shifted. The second section Of
the same train, composed of 80 cars,
was due about ten minutes late. 1t
was Towerman Lantels duty to signal
the second section that the first had
stopped in the tunnel. This Lantel
failed to do, having, it is said, fallen
asleep. The second section approach
cd the tunnel at rapid rate of speed
and crashed with full force into the
first section. Engineer Loeb and
Fireman Hinchman of the second
section were Immediately crushed to
death and the cars piled in an in
discriminate mass began to burn.
Four oil cars exploded. adding to the
horror of the situation and feeding
the flames. A fire alarm was turned
in and firemen Immediately began
an endeavor to extinguish the flames.
No attempt was made to secure the
bodies of the dead, as it was impossi-
BILE to get near the point where ii ey
lay. The loss to the company is
estimated at $4,000.

Havana, May 14.-Carydon Rich was
edge of many of the transactions
which, in the opinion of lawyers, tend
to implicnte others besides Neely in
the post Office defalcation. Rich was
Neely's partner in number of bust
ness enterprises in Cuba, and also
holds power of attorney for him: 1t
was through Rich that $1,000 of new
issue stamps were recovered, and he
has not been arrested on account of
the valuable assistance he is now Civ
ing in unraveling the plot. Further,
he has agreed to give evidence when
Neely is arraigned.
The amount of the defalcation, so
far as discovered at present, is $4,000
during the year 1900 and 100000 dur
ing the year 1899. Of this amount,
$1,000 has been recovered, $4,000 de-
posted in a bank here in Neely's
name has been attached, and $4,000 he
had in his possession when arrested.
A brickyard and cacao grove, the
value of which is undecided, the prop

Manila. May 14.--The towns of Hi

have been occupied by troops of the
Add volunteer infantry. The insur-
gents opposed the landing of the
Americans and sustained heavy losses.
The Americans had three casualties.
The latest rumor of an outbreak in
Manila among the natives, which was
in circulation last week, was seriously
discussed by some of the local papers,
and attracted more general attention
than has usually been the case with
this sort of thing. AS matter of
fact, many Filipinos did leave their
American employers with the appar-
ent intention of joining some such
connection with the arrest of several
natives for carrying concealed weap-
ons and the dispersion of several sus-
picious gatherings, gave color to the
reports.
The officials have been active in the
matter, but are not inclined to think
an uprising will be attempted. They

necessary courage, especially in view
of the fact that the natives feared to
attempt the demonstration at the
time of Gen. Lawton's funeral al
though they had made careful prepa-
rations and many insurgents had come
to Manila for this express purpose.
A paper found among the captured
of Of D,,,fola1r ror,in
scrts that the United States congress
has done nothing for the Filipinos,
and that, therefore, all Filipinos who
are working for Americans must leave
their employers Immediately or suffer
the penalty of treason.
One report is that the Filipino iunta
is endeavoring to incite an outbreak
that the insurrection is still alive.
1t does not seem probable that the
peace proposals which Senor Buenca-
mino, at one time member of the
so-called Filipino government, has
drawn up for submission to Aguinal
do and the other insurgent leaders
will have much weight with the Fill

gained in former wars, is that of a
man who hurries to get on the win
ming side. He was in disfavor with
the Filipinos even before the collapse
OF their government, owing to wide
spread suspicion of disloyalty to his
colleagues.
Last week Gen. Macarthur received
a large number of otficials-consuls,
officers and representatives of com
mercial bodies. To Lieut.. Col. Crow

is taken in view of the increasing i'm
