New Iberia enterprise. (New Iberia, La.) 1885-1902, 1901-03-30

London, March 2G.-The Pretoria
and Bloemfontein correspondents
Of the Times send long dispatches
admitting that Lord kitchener's
policy and operations have failed
to achieve the results hoped for,
and pointing out that the British
public must be prepared to return
to the original policy Of occupying
districts and studding the country
with military posts as the only
means of effecting complete pacifca-
ton. This process, the correspon-
dent says, will occupy much time
and necessitate constant supply
of fresh troops. The strain on both
omcers and men will be immense,
and arrangements must be made to
send absolutely fresh troops to the
front, in order to enable the others
to be sent home.
"Unless this aspect Of the case is
grasped by the authorities" say
the advices to the Times, 'there is
ia possibility Of the war lasting
for years. It is quite useless to
renew peace negotiations. Moth.
ing approaching 'terms,' as the
word is generally understood, would
be polite, or even possible, with
the BOers."

Pipe Oil to New Orleans.

A special from New Orleans to
the Houston Post says:
"The discovery of the great oil
wells in Beaumont has been the
greatest boom that Louisiana could
possibly have secured. 1t has turned
the eyes of northern capitalists
directly upon the western section
of the state. Louis Lagarde, a
prominent capitalist, states that
he is in position to know that a
company has under consideration
the construction of pipe line from
the oil fields of Texas to New Or
leans. They are only waiting I'M
til it has been thoroughly proven
that the newly discovered wells are
what they seem to be before work
of construction is started. The
plan upon which this company will
operate will revOlutionize the fuel
supply of this state to such an ex-
tent that the cost will be reduced
one-half. The main pipe will run
from the oil fields to this city
direct, and will be of sufficient size
to allow the tapping at points
near towns and cities, and the run
ming or other supply pipes out to
tanks which will be made to serve
as sub-depots, where oil will be
stored. These sub stations will sup
ply fuel to the immediate surround
ing country. The sugar planta-
tions will be brought within reach
of the supply by other lines and
tanks erected upon these planta-
tons wishing to use the oil in place
of coal, and saw mills and other
factories will also be supplied from
this mammoth main."

RIVER OF BURNING OIL.

new 1Ork. MAcCn ZJ.-A river
of flaming oil swept down upon the
little village of Glen Gardner, N.
j., while it's inhabitants were asleep
this morning and reduced eleven
buildings, stores and residences, to
ashes.
The conflagration was extraor-
dinary in character and in its origin.
The village is in a valley along
the line of the Jersey Central Rail
road. An immense freight train
was coming east at 6 a. m. It was
composed of string of cars and
eighteen tank cars.
High above the village the tracks
of the railroad run along the side
of a mountain. They descend as
they approach the village, but even
at the station are considerably above
the main street, which runs up to
the depot at steep incline.
A few miles west of the village,
while coming down the incline
around the mountain the train
parted. The engineer on the for
ward part pulled open the throttle
of the engine and tried to race
away from the section which was
increasing its speed every second.
He managed to keep clear of the
racing cars until he got opposite
the depot at Glen Gardner, when
the second section smashed into
the first. The section, composed
Of the coal cars, was going at high
rate of speed and none Of its cars
were jolted of the track. The for
ward car, one of the oil tanks of
the runaway section, was hurled
sidewise across the tracks and the
oil tank cars behind it were piled
up on top Of it in every way.
The first crash caused the oil in
one Of the tank cars to explode and
ignite, and the terrific heat caused
the other cars to explode, one
after another.
The incline running from the depot
down. to the main street acted as
sluice for the burning oil, and it
poured into the chief thoroughfare
Of the village, setting FIRE to every
thing it touched. Houses, fences,
trees, shrubbery and barns were
reduced to ashes in an incredibly
short time.
Villagers, awakened by the ex-
plosions, rushed from the oncoming
food Of blazing oil, carrying chill
dren in their arms. Some risked
their lives to free horses, cows and
dogs in outbuildings, but other on-
fortunate animals could not be
reached IN time and were burned.
Within Ave minutes after the
nrst explosion the flowing river Of
oil had reached the Masonic Temple,
in the heart Of the village, and ten
minutes later that structure was
enveloped in flame.
Then the buildings, all Of them
frame, took fire as the oil reached
them and within half an hour an
area Of 600 feet square was q mass
Of flame.
From the wrecked cars the oil
also flowed down the incline of the
railroad track, making q long line
Of hre that destroyed the ties and
bent and twisted the tracks. The
loss is estimated At from sec, 900
