FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED
Trestle on Spokane & North
ern Gave Way.
CARS AND CONTENTS BURNED
A Rotten Bridge the Cause Of the Ac-
cident-The Head Brakeman Was
Severely Injured.

Springdale, WASH, April AT an
early hour this morning. the north
bound freight train on the Spokane &
Northern, consisting of an engine and
81 cars, loaded with general freight,
went through the trestle at Sheep creek,
half a mile north of Springdale. Charles
Dunlap, head brakeman, was severely
injured, two ribs being broken. The
rest OF the train crew escaped with a
few bruises. Four. tramps were steal
ing ride, but none was severely hurt.
The rotten condition of the trestle is
said to have been the cause of the acci-
dent. The trestle is $50 feet long and
40 feet high.
The engine and one car had reached
the northern approach, when, without
warning, the big trestle gave way, car
rying 20 cars to the gulch below. The
caboose and eight cars remained on the
southern approach. Not timber of
the trestle was left in place. Brake
man Dunlap jumped on the lower side,
and rolled down the bank. The rest of
the train crew jumped on the upper
side, and were not hurt. The four
tramps went down with the cars, but
miraculously escaped with general
shaking up. AS soon as the cars reach
ed the bottom they caught fire. All
the cars were burned with their con-
tents

DISASTER TO CONVOY.
British Guns and Prisoners Not Yet
Retaken.

British Guns and Prisoners Not Yet
Retaken.
London. April 4.-The latest news
from the front adds little to the public
knowledge of the convoy disaster. No
credence is given to reports that the
Beers numbered between 5000 and 10,
600 men. The general belief is that
there could not have been more than
half that number, but the mere fact
that even so many as half could have
been collected SO near headquarters
without the knowledge of the British
commanders provokes much uneasy
criticism.
The disaster is regarded as a direct
result of the inability of General French
to cut off the commanders of General
Olivier and the other commanders
when escaping from the Orange river.
Lord Roberts own dispatch, dated
two hours later than the Daily Chroni-
cle's, says nothing about the guns
being recaptured. The story, therefore,
looks doubtful.
Little news has arrived from other
points. Kenhardt was formally reoc-
cupied Saturday. TEa report that the
Beers are massing in the vicinity OF
Taungs and Klipdam is confirmed.
Lord Methuen's difficulties are appar-
emily increasing. He has Boer laagers
or guerrilla bands on three sides of
him. and he will be obliged to watch
carefully his communication with
Orange river.

on the retail trade, the markets are in

the feature of the week has been the

ducts and provisions. The advances in
the latter, in fact, are regarded as fore
shadowing an upward movement in hog

Paris, April 2.-An official account
has been issued of the victory of the
French troops over an Arab army at
1nrahr, which recently occupied the
oasis of InsaIah, southwest of Algeria.
The French learned of the scheme and
decided to storm the enemy's position,
which was successfully carried on
March 19 by column led by Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Eu. The town was first
bonn barded, and then stormed, the
Arab warriors making their last stand
in the mosques. They left 600 killed
and hundred wounded on the field.
An additional 45 prisoners were taken.
The French losses were nine native sol.
diers killed, SO wounded and two off,
GERS wounded.

New York. April 4.-1he auxiliary
cruiser Buffalo, which has been lying
in the Brooklyn navy yard since she
returned from Manila last summer, is
to be commissioned again tomorrow as
a training ship for the second batch of
landsmen, of whom the United States
is trying to make able seamen. She
will sail later in the week for Norfolk,
where she will take on part of her crew,
and then start for a Mediterranean
cruise.
The Buffalo will have 200 young men
on board when she leaves the Brooklyn
navy yard, and will pick up $50 at
Norfolk. She will follow the route of
the Dixie, which took out the first lot
of rockies" as the bluejackets call
them, some months ago. The young
men have all been enlisted inland.
Most of them come from the farms, and
many have never seen ship before.
They are healthy lot, however, and
the government has found that they
pick up seaman's lore pretty quickly.

STORIES FROM KIMBERLEY.
Some Of the Hardships OF the Siege Of

strain heavier than it otherwise would
be. After we had been for weeks shut
up in Kimberley-not at the best the
most cheerful place in the universe
our hearts became specifically fixed on
our portion of the British army-the
relief column. By accident, we learned
that it had reached Modder river, after
sharp engagement at Belmont.
Eagerly we awaited news from Lord
Methuen. Men and women scanned
the horizon nights to seek the first flash
from his searchlight. All night long
our three searchlights sent their long
streams of fiery light past the rugged
fastness of Scholtzes' Mex, and the
rocky kopjes of Spy fontein to the two

Bold ROBBERY of a Brewery.

st. Louis, April 4.-Three masked
men looted the Star Brewery Office. at
Belleville, ILL.,, today, after first cap
turing and confining the watchman
and night fireman of the plant in an
empty refrigerator car. As the robbers
were preparing to blow open the big
safe in the Office, Hubert Hartman, Sec
retary of the brewery, accompanied by
his brother Hans. entered the room.
They were promptly covered with three
revolvers, and before either of them
realized the situation, were marched to
the same car in which the fireman and
watchman were confined. Then, after
drilling the safe. they applied charges,
and the outer and inner doors were
blown completely open. 1t is not
known just how much they secured,
but the amount is thought not to be
over 500, besides some jewelry and
valuable papers.

Bushman Kop, April 2.-The British
force commanded by Colonel Broad
wood, consisting of the Tenth Hussars,
Household cavalry, two horse batteries
and force of mounted infantry under
Colonel Pitcher, which has been garri-
soning Thabanchu. was obliged, in
consequence of the near approach of a
lagre force of Beers, to leave last night.
Colonel Broadwood marched to the
Bloemfontein water works, south of
the Modder, where he encamped at
this morning. At early dawn the
camp was shelled by the enemy from
q near point. Colonel Broadwood sent
off convoy with the batteries, while
the rest of the force remained to act as
rear guard. The convoy arrived at
deep sprut, where the Beers we've con-
cealed, and the entire body walked into
ambush and was captul ed, together
with six guns.
The loss of life was not great, since
most of the British had walked into
the trap before shot was fred.

ADRIFT ON THE PACIFIC.

Steamer Cleveland. With Broken Shaft
and a Sugar Cargo.
San Francisco, April s.-Advices
from Honolulu, under date of March
%, state that the well-known steamer
Cleveland, bound for San Francisco,
with $1O0, 0O0 cargo of sugar from
Kahului, is adrift with broken shalt
and practically helpless in the open
sea. When last heard from she was
several hundred miles from Maui.
Three of its crew left the steamer in a
small boat to go to Maui for assistance.
They were spoken by the steamer Eric,
March 20, 40 miles from Maui.
The men in the boat stated that the
Cleveland, when they left her, was
$40 miles noTth-northwest of the island
of Maui. The little boat had travelled
$50 miles of the journey to Maui, a trip
that must have required six days, SO
that the Cleveland must have moved a
good deal since she was last located.
She has two yards and can put up a
little sail, but not enough to control
to search for her.
ABOUT TWO years ago the cleveland
met with a similar accident between
San Francisco and Puget Sound. After
being abandoned by her crew she went
ashore on Vancouver Island.
During the civil war the Cleveland

Lord Roberts is stripping the forces
in the minor spheres of operations of
their wagons and transport animals in
order to hasten the advance. This is
understood to be the resaen why he re-
called Lord Methuen from Barkly
West to Kimberley. Lord Roberts has
to have Methuen's transport.
General French lost 5000 horses in
the relief of Kimberley and the pursuit
ef General Cronje. Lord Roberts lost
5000 transport cattle at Watervaal

None Will Be Granted Until Govern
ment Is Established.
New York, April A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Root has issued an order
revoking the license granted to Ramon
Valdes for the use of the water of the
river La Plata, of Puerto Rico, to create
electric power for railroad. He has
also announced the depa rtment will
grant no franchises or licenses in the
island until the establishment of civil
government there. Tracey, Boardman
& Platt. of New York, represented by
A. L. Arpin and William D. Noble
who applied for the revocation of the
concession and who, it is said, are en-
deavoring to acquire it for persons for
whom they are acting as agents. The
Drexels and other business interests Of
Philadelphia have vigorously foaght the
attempts of the New York firms.
Secretary Roots decision, however,
not only deprives Mr.. Valdes of his
license, but prevents Tracey, Boardman
& Platt's clients or any other person
from obtaining its issuance in their
favor. 1t is learned that this action was
taken in accordance with recommen-
datlon of Brigadier- General Davis. gov
ernor-general of the island, who has
made an extensive investigation. The
issuance of the license to Valdes last
summer was made when Secretary Root
received an opinion from Charles E.
Magoon, solicitor of the division of
customs and insular affairs. whose
wonderful reversal of ideas on the
statutes of the new American dependen-
cies has surprised congress.
The files of the insular division con-
tain numerous applications for conces-
sions or licenses, some from prominent
people in the United States and others
from natives of Puerto Rico.

CAUSE OF PHILIPPINE REVOLT.
A Manila Reverend Says Bishop Pot
ter's Statement IL Untrue.

ter's Statement Is Untrue.
New York, April 4.-Rev. Joseph NJ.
Aaaue, director of the observatory at
Manila, who is now in Washington,
has issued statement in reply to Bish-
pzHenry G. Potter and his secretary,
Rev. Percy s.. Grant, regarding affairs
in the Philippines.
The bishops main point" the
statement says, "is to prove that the
religious orders have robbed the people.
But If the people pay the necessary
charges for these certificates willingly,
how can it be called robbery?"
That thousands of people live in
practical concubinage, as charged by
the bishop. is denied, although the
writer admits that some do live that
way, and asserts that there, as every
where, are found few instances of
that kind"
That it was the church taxes which
caused the people to revolt is emphatic
ally denied. The writer says the causes
of the revolt against the United States
are like the causes of that against
Spain, complicated, and Bishop Pot
ter has no right to state that the cause
of the outbreak among the native
against Spain was the taxation of the
religious or7ers and friars in the ad-
ministration of the sacrament" In
proof of this it is stated that most of
the important parishes in the archi-
pelago are administered by the natives
themselves as priests, and at all the
parishes ''the same ecclesiastical laws
as to taxes was enforced by these secu-
lar priests, and it is matter of history
that nobody objected to it. Therefore
nobody can honestly state that the
cause of the rebellion of the natives
against Spain was the requiring of the
taxes in the administration of the sac
lament."
