Especial to the News and Observer)
High Point, N. c.. Dec. 12.-People
living in the eastern part of town were
startled by a terrific noise this morning
at 5:20 o'clock. No. 80, one of the fast
passenger trains running between Wash
ington and Jacksonville, Fla, collided
in a head-on collision with northbour
freight standing ont the siding within the
east yards.
A switch had been left open and the
giant engine, with its six Pullman cars
loaded with human freight, swerved to
the left and went crashing into the
freight. Both engines were raised from
the track, their tenders telescoped and
their machinery bent and twisted into
scrap iron. A car load of lumber ad-
joining the engine of the freight was
hurled 100 feet down an embankment and
two other cars splintered into kindling
wood.
The tender of the passenger train went
crashing through the baggage car and
stopped within two feet of the baggage
master, who was in the rear end and
slight bruises.
Six persons were wounded. Engineer
Rowzil, of the fast passenger train, and
Engineer Sweeney, Of the freight, and
their firemen, and two passengers who
received bruises about the face. Engineer
Rowzie suffered broken leg and pos
sibly his ankle is crushed so badly that
it will have to be amputated. Engineer
Sweeney also had mis- leg broken.
The two firemen are severely bruised
and cut about the face.
After the wreck the passengers were
all congratulating themselves on theiH
escape and praising Engineer Rowzie for
his bravery.
1t was due TO his presence of mind in
applying the emergency brake and shut
ting off the steam so quickly that many
lives were saved. He stuck to his post,
and even after his leg was crushed, see
ing he could do nothing else for his train,
crawled out of the cab window.
The open switch was not accounted
for until 8 o'clock this morning when
note was handed the superintendent of
this division who was on the scene, from
the head brakeman of the freight train,
giving the information. 1t told of the
engineer going to the depot after orders
and he Uhe brakeman) thinking the
freight was going to Hill Tap, beyond
Jamestown, to meet o. 50, he threw open
the switch and went to the bottom of
the embankment for a few moments.
Shortly afterwards the crash came. The
brakeman sent the note by some one
and closed it with: II wish I'd never
seen the d-n railroad and I'm done with
it."
Superintendent Coopman, of Green's
boro, was soon at the scene with the
wrecking crew and by nine o'clock the
track was clear. Doctors of the town
were sent for and attended to the wound
ed, who were. soon as the track was
cleared, were carried to Greensboro.
This is the most disastrous wreck that
has ever occurred here and gave hun
dreds who were at the scene, to see
wreck for the first time.

TREATY WITH CUBA
A Dispatch Says the Protocol
Was Signed at Havana
Thursday Night.
(By the Associated Press.)

Havana. Dec 12.-The protocol of the
commercial treaty between Cuba and the
United States was signed at II o'clock
last night.
Washington, Dec. 12.-"Treaty signed
at 11:15 last night" was the message
which came to the State Department to-
day from General Bliss, at Havana, con-
firming the press report of the con-
clusion of a reciprocity arrangement be-
tween the United States and Cuba. The
officials mere are puzzled to know just
what has been signed. They thought that
a protocol or protocols had been pre-
pared, but General Bliss message car
ries the inference that he has actually
concluded a definite reciprocity treaty.
If he has done so the President will ac-
cept it. and forward it to the Senate for
its action and the offices of Minister
Quesada here will not be required to
give effect to the convention.
The State Department does not feel at
liberty to make public the details of the
arrangement; in fact some of these will
not be known until the Havana mail
reaches here for General Bliss un-
doubtedly has made some changes in the
duties on American imports into Cuba

The Allies Cut Off From the Capital
(By the Associated Press.)

Caracas, Thursday, Dec. II The govern
ment has taken preservative, measures
at La Guaria. All the deposit of coal
at the navy yard, and all the British cars
on the L Guaira Railroad have been
brought here, rendering impossible the
transportation of the allied troops by
rail. General Ferrera, the Ministe of
War, spent all of today in the choosing
of spots in the mountains where trenches
are to be dug.
Yesterday, after a long conference With
President Castro, Minister Bowen OBJ
tained an order for the liberation Of the
remaining British and German subjects
who were held prisoners. and an hour
later all had been released. Minister
Bowen and Secretary of Legation Russell
went to. the Jail five times and assisted
the poor colored British subjects and
those who were i'll. 1t is SAID on the
authority of an official near to President
Castro that the President has allowed
Minister Bowen to communicate with
the Berlin and London governments
through the State Department at Wash
ington, this being the only hope of avoid
ing a serious conflict. 1t is reported
that the plan of the British and German
forces is to. secure the ports of La Guara
and Peurto Cabello.
1t is stated on good authority that the
VeneZulan government has asked United
States Minister Bowen to act as arbitra-
tor in the controversy with Great Britain
and Germany.

PROPOSAL FOR ARBIIBAT;oN.
The United States has Small Hope That it Will
be Favorably Received
CBy the Associated Press }

Washington, Dec. IA caElegram
received at the State Department today
from Minister Bowen, at Caracas, states
that the Venezulan government has re-
quested him to propose to Great Britain
and Germany that the difficulties aris-
ing out of the claims for alleged dam
ages and injuries to British and German
subjects during the civil was be sub
mitted to arbitration:
In conformity with the understanding
already reached with the representatives
OF the British and German governments
here. this proposition from President
Castro will be duly laid before those
governments, the State Department act
ing merely as a channel of communica-
tion. OF much hope is entertained of the
favorable reception of the proposition,
as it is felt that the difficulty has
progressed too far for settlement by
the peaceful methods of arbitration. The
reprisals made by the Venezuelans for
the destruction of their navy, in the
seizure of British ships and the arrest
of British and German subjects, practi
cally have developed the relations be-
tween the countries into those of real
war, although technically the principals
prefer 10 designate it as something less.
The Venezuelan proposal was com
municated to the British and German
Ambassadors this afternoon and by
them cabled to London and Berlin. II
is probable that replies will be received
over night and will be sent by the State
Department to Minister Bowen, who will
inform the VeneZulan President,
1t is certain that the State Denart
ment would be willing to go any rea-
sonable length to settle the difficulty IN
VeneZula in any manner that shall be
honorable and satisfactory TO all parties.
Therefore Secretary Hay today replied
to Mr.. Bowen's cablegram. authorizing
him, in his discretion, to use mis- good
offices to secure arbitration. He was,
however, made to understand that N the
arbitration, if one should follow, he
would represent not the government of
the United States, but that of Vene-
zuela, at its request.
If there is an attempt to possess them
selves of all the customs receipts on the
part of Great Britain and Germany, pro-
tests might naturally be expected to fol-
low from a nation such as France, which
holds claims aggregating more than the
combined claims of England and Ger
many and which has, it is understood,
already arranged for their payment upon
an instalment plan out of Venezulan Gus
toms receipts; an arrangement that may

be disturbed by the British and German
program.
1t is evident here now that the allies
have been obliged to proceed upon Vene-
zuela far beyond the point where their
original program ceased. The -
pondence shows that there was not the
least apprehension that Castro in his
resistance would make it necessary for
Great Britain and Germany to 20 be-
yond a peace full blockade and it is the
understanding that the London and Ber-
lin authorities are now Obliged 10 re-
pare a new program for execution in
