| London, May 1, $3.50 a. m.-The Bo-
Iers are now showing uncommon activi-
ty west of Bloemfontein. They are in
force between Fourteen Streams and
Kimberley. Sunday they occupied
Windsorton, west of the railway, and
now threaten to interrupt the commu-
nication of the British force at Warren
ton, to the north.
This, too, at a time when General
Hunter is about to start on ii 200 mile

north, are moving through Ladybrand.
London, May 1.-Continuous fighting
though not Of a severe character, has
been in progress in the n~eighborhood
OF Thaba N'chu during the last few
days. The Beers have been steadily
thrust back on the eastern side of the
town by a strong force Of mounted
troops under the personal command of
General Franch, but as was to be ex-

SULTAN'S TRICK.

Washington, April 3O.-It is said at
the state department that Mr.. Girls
com, the United States charge at Con-
stantinople, has not yet acquainted the
department with the nature of the re-
ply made by the porte to his last repre-
sentation touching the American in
demnity claims, so it is presumed that
he himself has not yet received the an
swer.
There is some reason to believe that
a powerful effort is being put forth by
the Turkish government to compro-
mise the missionary claims unofficially.
The method which is looked upon as
most feasible is that connected with
the building of a warship for Turkey
in the United States. If the claimants
choose to receive the amount of their
claims from an American ship builder,
instead of through the state depart
ment, thereby removing from the de-
partment the basis for further prosecu-
ton of its demand upon the porte, some
interesting points of international law
might be raised. 1t would seem that
once committed to the state depart
ment, an International claim cannot be
withdrawn without the consent of the
department, though whether there
would be a refusal in this case cannot
be stated.

Nervousness is very common among

nerve centers. The nerve center are the
reservoir Of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodEess for want of pro-

the spring season Every spring a host

This could be easily obviated by the use

WENT TO SLEEP AT HIS POST.
DISASTROUS WRECK CAUSED BY
CARELESSNESs.

Engineer, Fireman and Five I'm
known Tramps Were KiIcd-Cars
Were Left In IA Philadelphia Tun-
mel and the Tower Man Failed to
Set the Danger Light-Flre Started
| in the Tunnel and FfreSnen Could
Not Tut It Out.
Philadelphia, May 12-Through the neg
| ligence of a tower man, who lay asleep
at his post, disastrous and fatal freight
wreck occurred here last midnight in a
tunnel on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
hoad.
An engineer and a fireman were killed
and five unknown tramps are supposed
TO be dead in the wreck. The property
loss is estimated at $1S5OOO.
The man who is responsible for the ac-
cident, Frank LamteH, surrendered him
self late this afternoon 20 c. o. Bent a
superintendent in the employ OF the Bal
timore and Railroad Company. He is
now under arrest.
The bodies of the tramps are buried
beneath the wrecked cars and cannot be
recovered until the fire. which followed
the collision, is extinguished. About thir-
ty firemen of the city fire department
were either burned or overcome by smoke
while fighting the flames. None of them,
however was seriously injured.
Shortly after the collision Lamtell dis
appeared and could not be found until he
gave himself up late this afternoon. When
questioned he said:
Il did it. Why the white signal remain
ed in place I do not know, but it was
there and the train went through as usual.
l was asleep or DOING, and why l can
not say, except that 1 feel myself over
worked; but l am ready to stand the CEN
sure and take what comes to me. I have
no excuse to offer"
How the Wreck Was Cauaed.
Every night a train known as the New
York freight express leaves here for New
York. Last night the train was made up
in two sections, the first section contain
ing forty-three cars. When il reached the
tunnel the engine was unable to pull ii
up the grade and seventeen cars were de-
tached and left standing about midway In
the tunnel while the others were drawn
through 1t was the duty of Lamtell to
set red signal on the semaDhore at the
Callow hill street entrance to the tunnel
Being asleep, as he admits, he failed to
do this leaving the white light in view
At 1i:30 o'clock the second section OF
the freight, comprising thirty-eight cars.
approached at the rate of thirty miles an
hour Engineer Laub, seeing the white
signal, gave the locomotive extra SD ed in
order TO carry the train up the grade. The
rapidly moving train colli1ed with the
standing cars in the tunnel with terrific
force.
Fire Immediately broke out and three oil
cars, each containing 1900 gallons of oil
exploded. Soon the wreckage was m 9
of flames. The fire department was called
out and. though the firemen have teen at
work all last night and all to-day, 1t has
been impossible TO extlnguish the flames
Owing to the heat and smoke and gas
eous air in the tunnel the firemen cou d
enter the tunnel only a short distance
| without being overcome. Holss wers dug
in the streets TO make vents and the roof OF
the tunnel was blasted, but to no avail.
