FIVE WERE KILLED.
Four of the Men Are Buried in One
 Grave.


 Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 13-A special to The Journal and Tribune from Middles- boro. Ky, says:
 The precise number of dead as a result of the battle at the Quarter House. yes- terday at sunset Is now believed to be five. They are Charles Cecil. the Middles- boro deputy sheriff, who was killed at the opening of the fight; Mike Welch, Frank Johnson Perry Watson and Jeff Prader. The last four men were buried this af- ternoon in the same grave at the old Turner burying ground.
 Lee Turner, the proprietor of the fort ress and saloon which was burned, bought each a handsome casket. The men were his staunchest allies. John Doyle, the man who was thought to have been mor- tally wounded. will likely recover. Tom Hopper. an old man who was with Fur ner's band, was shot three times. but succeeded in reaching his home alive. Lee Turner is now at the mines. He ln- tends to rebuild his saloon-fort, and says he will remain if he has to keep a stand ing army of 800 mountaineers within his palisades.
 All is quiet tonight. and 1t is believed that the present trouble is over. Bones were found in the ruins of the saloon, but it is believed that they are not hu- man. Many. however. are of the opinion that if the exact number of deaths were known ten would hardly cover 1t. A man named Russel is said to be missing.

A POWERFUL sEARCHLIaHT
It is Designed to Prevent Collision
 of Trains.

Chicago, Feb. 1s.-A practical demon- stration of the utility of new de- parture. which 1t Is claimed by railway officials, will effectively prove the solu- ton in a large degree of the railway col lision problem, was made last night on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road near here.
 The device consists of an exceedingly powerful head light, which not only per- fectly illuminates the track with an in-
 tense brilliant shaft of light for dis
 tance of a mile. but also embraces the striking and novel feature of beam light of almost equal brilliancy penetrating over seven hundred feet above, which can clearly be seen ten miles distant. It is thereby possible for approaching trains to absolutely locate each other by this verticle shaft of light. though miles apart, and 1t is this feature which rail- road officials claim will eliminate the possibility of a colliison. This verticle beam will. in hilly country especially where curves in the track are numerous. so positively fix the location of trains that nothing but carelessness on the part of engine men will permit a collision.
 The apparatus consists of a powerful electric arc headlight, dynamo and
 steam motor, all of which occupy the
 space on the locomotive usually devolyed
 to the headlight. me uynamo Wnicn
 furnishes the general current for, this
 verticle searchlight occupies a space of
 less than fifteen inches wide directly be-
 hind the headlight, and is operated by a motor driven by steam impact on a turbine wheel. The current Is 6,O00 candle power. which can be reduced to
 any degree of brilliancy at the will of the
 engineer.
 One of the heaviest passenger engines
 on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul,
 experimentally equipped with this head
 light, drew a special train a number of
 miles out of Chicago last night, and a practical demonstration of the working of the apparatus was given. At a dis tance of half a mile the telegraph poles
 and frame work of semaphores were
 clearly defined. while the track bed itself was distinctly visible for one mile. Straight above the locomotive shaft of light as thick as a mans body pene- trated the darkness, and persons posted ten miles away reported that 1t was
 clearly distinguishable. N This is an entirely new departure In headlight illumination and railway sig naIs. '9- .ss, 5., siAf-
 It is further proposed to convey signals
 of distress or other communications when
 trouble occurs between telegraph points,
 by the use of colored glass to color the
 yerttcle ray of light.

UNTRUE TO CUBA.
General Wilson Says We Have Ne
 elected Our Word.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-"Since our occupation of Cuba We have not done one thing to repair the ravages of war. We have re- established no families in their home steads nor attempted to re-stock barren farms and plantations.
 I've have not taken a single step 10 extend the commerce of the country so as to enable the island to recover rom the devastation of recent war.
 In these words General James Il. Will son. late Governor of Matanzas and re- cent appointee as delegate to King Ed- wards coronation to represent the uni- ted States army, charged neglect or Cuba in a speech delivered tonight at the union League Club. x,,,,
 The remedy proposed by General Wil- son is immediate reciprocity with CuDa. Annexation he maintained. is sure 10 come but to meet the emergency he pro- posed removing the duty on Cuban im- portations and at the same time sur rounding the island with our own protec- tive tariff on foreign importations.
 This policy, General Wilson asserted. would act as a stimulus to Cuban copn- merce that would restore the ante-hel- lum prosperity of the country. By quo tation from statistics he attemped 70 show that such free trade would have an injurious effect on practically none or our own industries. The effect upon the tobacco industry. he asserted. would not be felt and the sugar industry would not suffer to any great extent.
