Engine Ran Into the Bay.

An extra switch engine of the South
ern Pacific company, while standing
beneath the coal bunkers in the West
| Oakland, Cal, yards waiting for a
| change of crews, was bumped into by
! freight train and the throttle thrown
open. The locomotive plunged for
ward instantly and began a runaway
trip through a network of hundreds of
side tracks and headed for the West
Oakland Mole, where a dozen trains
and $500 passengers from San Francis
co were waiting to be carried overland
to local points. By fortunate chance
the tower man, knowing the engine
was not manned, threw the runaway
onto an extreme outside track, thus
averting collision with the standing
trains or preventing the iron monster
from crashing through the waiting
rooms at the ferry depot, crowded with
human beings. The engine attained a
speed of thii ty-five miles an hour be-
fore it plunged off the end of the track
into the waters OF the bay, making a
leap of fully thirty feet. The huge
now lies buried under twenty
feet of water.

KINDNESS WAS IN VAIN.

The Only Way to Deal with Moros 10 to
Give Them Severe Thrssbing.
The war department has received a
cable dispatch from General Chaffee.
dated Manila, Sept. 6, stating that an
attack was made on the United States
troops at MatilliDg falls. seven miles
from Camp vickars, by Moros, Sept. /.
First Lieutenant William M. Parker,
Eleventh infantry, and two soldiers
we're wounded and one soldier killed.
General Chaffee also says:
Have authorized Biigadier General
Samuel. Sumner 10 move troops into
Maciu county and exact promise of
good behavior in future from datos
and followers. Troops have been at
tackled twelve times since May 2, with
loss to us Of four killed and twelve
wounded. We have remained all the
time quiet, seeking friendship, acting
in self-defense only"
Some time ago General Chaffee asked
for authority TO attack the Moros inn
medlately, but he was advised that
the department wished to avoid hos
tilities, IL possible. At the same time
it has long been the belief of officials
OF the department that an aggressive
campaign in Mindanao Is inevitable,
and it would not be surprising if there
should be forward movement OF the
United States troops in a short time.
