News-Democrat Leased Wire Service
Washington, July 3O.-According to
the recent utterances in the Spanish
Filipino press of Manila it appears that
c!he Filipipos did not take kindly to
the strict quarantine against cho.era
that has been put into effect by the
board Of health.
They compla n that undue strir-
gency has been employed, that discrim-
ina ion Is made In favor of Americans
and that in some instances. native
families under quarantine have actually
suffered from hunger, under what
seemed TO lie unnecessary c.rcr stanc-
es.

RA|LROADERS KILLED
And Man Mail Clerks Severely
Injure d. Mt Occurred
at Famous Packsodaie"
on Pennsylvania Road.

Johpstown, July 31.-Engineer
Kemmerling and Fireman Harry
Nisely, Of Altoona, two of the best
railroaders on the Pittsburg division,
made their last run this afternoon
while trying to establish new rec
ord for speed on No. IL, the fast mail
train Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The train left the tracks at Pack
saddle, and the engine and the three
cars which it drew were completely
demolished. Some of the postal clerks
and the conductor were more or less
injured, but all will recover.
In the three cars that were wreck
ed were probably dozen mail clerks,
counting their assistants, together
with Conductor Charles Howard, OF
Altoona, and two brakeman who live
in the same city. They were tossed
about as by whirlwind and three OF
the mail clerks were injured though
not so badly as to prevent them re-
turning east this evening as passen-
gers.
John Wild, of Harrisburg, had a
collarbone broken and sustained nu-
merous other injuries, while Irvan
Maurer and Howard Writ, als0 Of
Harrisburg, were caught in the wreck
age and badly cut and bruised about
the head and body. Charles Foster,
of State College, was cut about the
head and face, although a young man
named Hunsucker, who stood beside
him, escaped without a scratch.
The first two mail cars were smash
ed to pieces, and the third, which was
overturned, lay on the brink of the
chasm as though threatening to take
plunge into the depths below. Had
the wreck happened 10 feet either east
or west of the place it did not man
on the train would have been left to
tell the tale.
An immense amount Of New York
mail was strewn and crushed and torn
in the wreckage. Special mail cars
and special mail clerks from Pittsburg
were sent to the Packsaddle early In
the afternoon to gather up all that Is
recoverable. |''' ''...t.H

COURTS GO AFTER

Cornered Grain Dealers In Chi

functions.

Chicago, July 31.-The ban of the
courts has been placed on the corner in
July oats. On application OF the Waite,
Thorburn Co., one of the firms heavily
short in the July option, temporary
restraining order was granted today by
Judge Chytraus in the supreme court
prohibiting James A. Patten and asso-
ciatos from continuing corner In new
July oats, and from bidding UP the
price of tho cereal or calling for fur
ther margins.
This is the first time in the history
of the Chicago board of lrade that
dealers who are short have resorted to
the courts to assist them in a dilemma
like the present and the Injunction
came as decided surprise, although
drastic measures had been threaten ID
to rrevenla heavy losses.
The injunction runs against Caring

Given Controi--Seriou
Crisis to New Country.

Washington, July 30.-News of o
disturbing character was received at
the state department today from Min
lister Squires at Havana. 1t was to
the effect that the lower house of the
Cuban congress has adopted a reao.
luton declaring that the settlemen:
made by the United States with the
Catholic church respecting church
property in the island need not be con-
sidered as binding upon the Cuban
government nor upon the church.
The information is also to the effect
that President Palma and some OF
those associated with him in the ad-
ministration did all they could to pre-
vent the adoption Of the resolution
but they were unable to do SO. The
activity of the president and some OF
hiscsadvisers, it is represented. has
produced a crisis in the cabinet and
that apparently the whole subject is
about to be forced open by those who
were able to control the majority of
the lower house.
J,The news is of a disturbing nature
here for the simple reason that the
faith OF the United States Is pledged
to the fulfillment of the agreement. If
the senate adopts the resolution il
will be the duty Of the United States
to intervene in the affairs of her ward
SO lately discharged from the surro-
gates court. The right and duty oi
the United States to intervene under
such a condition in the affairs is very
plainly set forth in the Plat amend
ment, which governs the relations be-
tween this country and the island re-
