CUBA IS WARNED.
Notified That slightest Amendment
to Treaty VIII Result In
It's Failure.

Washington, March 2s.-Secretary
Hay has sent warning to Cuba that
the slightest amendment of the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty by the Cuban
congress. even that which proposes
to make its ratification conditional on
the treaty going into effect during the
current calendar year, certainly would
defeat the convention itself, since any
amendment must be submitted to the
United States senate, and before that
can be done the date fixed for the
final exchange of notifications. March
81, will have been passed. Mr.. Squiers,
the United States minister at Havana,
has transmitted this note to the Cuban
foreign minister, and he is hopeful
that it will be sufficient to curb the
desire to amend the treaty. 1t is fully
realized here that foreign influences
in Havana which would be affected in
juriously by the treaty are working
upon Cuban pride to defeat the ratifi-
cation by attaching amendments to
the treaty. This was fully expected,
and is regarded as within the legiti-
mate duties of diplomatic representa-
tives in such cases, but it is believed the
effort will prove unsuccessful.

KILLED IN RAILWAY WRECK.
sunset Limited ON Southern Pacific
Road CollIdes with q Train
In Texas-I'hree Dead.

San Antonio, Tex, March 28.-The
Sunset limited of the Southern Pacific
and another passenger train collided
at Lacoste. IS miles west of here, at
o:55 o'clock Thursday night. Three
passengers, all MeXicans, were killed,
and nine injured. The bodies of the
dead were burned. The dead are:
Guadalupe Cantee, Monterey; Antonio
Arl2 pc, Sabinas, and Manuel Trevino
Santo, Sabinas.
The three dead Mexicans were rela-
tives of Gen. Geronimo Trevino, Of
Monterey, who was on his way to San
Antonio, accompanied by his wife and
son. The Trevinos were not injured.
The dead men were in the COM
partment of the private car of Gen.
Trevino. The Pullman car in the rear
telescoped the private car, crushing
them to death. Their bodies were not
recovered until they had been burned
to crisp in the fire. which destroyed
the entire train, including the engine.
The fire originated from the oil in the
tender.
Both trains were eastbound. The
first, the Eagle Pass trim. was stand
ing on the main line at Lacoste. The
cause of the stop at Lacoste. which is
only small place, is not known. The
Sunset limited was travelling at
great speed when it crashed into the
Eagle Pass train.

IRISH LAND BILL.
Measure for the Relief OF Tenants
Introduced In British House
of Commons.

London, March 26.-The Irish secre.
tary, Mr.. Wyndham, introduced the
governments long anticipated Irish
land bill in the house of commons
Wednesday afternoon. 1t proposes a
free grant of S60,0OO,O00 for the pur-
poses of the bill. Tenants are to pay
81 per cent. interest on loans from the
government. Mr.. Wyndham said he
thought the scheme would not involve
$500, 000,o 900. but that $750,00O,0 900 could
safely be advanced on Irish land. The
advances to tenants are limited to ST.
500 in the congested districts and
$4,000 elsewhere. The bill also pro-
vides that untenanted farms and graz
ing lands shall be sold to neighboring
tenants and that three commissioners,
to be known as estate commissioners,
shall supervise the sales. The names
of the three commissioners are Michael
Finucane, secretary to the government
Of Bengal revenue, general and statis-
teal departments; Frederick S. Wrench,
now one of the Irish land commission
ers. and William F. Bagley, one of the
assistant commissioners on the Irish
land question. They will be under the
control of the lord lieutenant of Ire
land. The bill will become effective
November IL.

AFFECTED BY RAIN.
Trade Activity In Some Sections 10
Interrupted by Excessive
DOwnpOur.

New York, March 2S.-R. G. Dun 81
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
'Irregularity in retail trade is due
to weather conditions. At most
points an early season stimulates
business, but in other sections there
has been interruptions from Excess
sive rains. More uniform activity is
reported in wholesale trade, with a
notably large movement of groceries,
millinery, paper and builders ma
terials, while conditions are satisfac-
tory for the season in jewelry. Man.
ufacturers of clothing, furniture,
footwear and iron and steel are well
engaged, ample supplies of fuel
greatly facilitating operations, but
extensive strikes threaten to render
idle many New England textile mills.
Early opening of lake navigation will
benefit business, and the railway traf-
fic embargo will be removed. Earn
ings of railways thus far reported
for March exceed last years by 1873
per cent. and surpass those of 1901
by 229 per cent. An output OF about
300. 900 tons of coke in the whole Con-
nelsville region for the last week
Indicates that fuel troubles are III
most ended in the iron and steel In
dustry.
Failures this week numbered 214
in the United States, as against POS
last year, and 20 in Canada, against
% a year ago"

COMMISSION MAKES AWARDS.
0ody Appointed by President, to Ar.
bltrate Coal Strike, Makes
It's Report.

Washington, March 23.-The report
Of the commission appointed by the
president last October to investigate
the anthracite coal strike was made
public Saturday. The report is dated
March 10, and is signed by all the mem
bers Of the commission, who are Judge
George Gray, of Delaware; Labor Com
missioner Carroll ID. Wright, and Brig.
Gen. John M. Wilson, both of this city;
Bishop John L. Spalding, OF Illinois;
Edgar +. Clark, Of Iowa; Thomas ID.
Watkins, of Pennsylvania, and Edward
w. Parker, of this city. The report is
to be illustrated and it will be accom-
panied by the testimony taken by the
commission, but thus far only the re-
port proper has been printed. This
alone covers 81 pages of printed mat
ter.
In brief the commission recommends
a general increase of wages, amount
ing in most instances to ten per cent;
some decrease of time; the settlement
of all disputes by arbitration; fixes a
minimum wage and sliding scale;
provides against discrimination Of
persons by either the mine owners or
the miners on account Of membership
or non-membership in labor union,
and provides that the awards made
shall continue in force until March 81,
1906. The commission discussed to
some extent the matter of recognition
or non-recognition of the miners
union, but declined TO make any award
on this matter.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
British Forces in CeylOn, COM
mits Suicide In Paris

Paris. March 26.-Maj Gen. Hector
Macdonald, commanding the British
forces in Ceylon, and one of the fore
most officers in the British army,
against whom charges based on i'm
moral acts were filed some time ago,
committed suicide Wednesday at the
Hotel Regina here.
London, March 26.-The tragic end
of Fighting Mac" who, the son of a
highland cottar, rose from a position
of a Diapers assistant to be an honored
general in the British army, has caused
great surprise and deep sorrow in Lon
don.
Gen. Macdonald was regarded as one
of Britian's great soldiers. He rose
from the ranks in the Gordon highland
ers to his present position and the serv-
ice list shows no more honorable war
record than that of Macdonald, while
few officers possess more hard-won
decorations. He was extremely popu-
lar in the army and in civil life.

THROWN FROM HER HORSE.
Empress Of Germany Meets with =
Painful Accident-Bone In
Left Arm Broken.

Berlin, March 2s.-While the Ger
man empress was galloping through
the Grunewald, forest near Char
lottenburg, Friday afternoon, her
horse, startled by doe that ran
across the path, SHE'D and threw her
OF. The empress broke the fall with
her left arm, and one of the bones
snapped just above the wrist. The
emperor Prince Adelbert, Gen. Won
Loewenfeld, Gen. Won Wedel and the
numerous following Of adjutants and
aides de camp quickly gathered
around her. The emperor was the
first to lift her from the ground. She
screamed with pain at the first shock,
hut after that showed much forti-
tude. DR.. Leuthold, the emperor's
physician, was summoned at once
from this city. Pending his arrival
Emperor William applied Arst aid to
the injured limb and made. "a sling out
Of the empress veil.
AS the party walked towards the
lodge carriage sent by Gen. Won
Loewenfeld met them, but the en-
press refused to take It. DIR. Leu
thold, in an automobile belonging to
member of the emperor's staff,
which happened to be at army head
quarters, went full speed to Grune-
valid, arriving an hour and half
after the accident. He was followed
by Maj. Ilberg, the emperor's sur
geon, and DR.. Bunker, the special ply
stefan of the empress. The fractured
arm was dressed and bandaged at
the hunting lodge, and her majesty
was then driven in carriage slowly
back to Berlin. The empress sat in
the carriage with her arm in sling
under her jacket, the emperor riding
beside on horseback. His majesty's
close attendance caused some wonder
rs the party passed through the IN
ter den Linden. 1t was an hour later
before extra editions explained the
reason. No bulletin has been issued
by the doctors, who affirm that the
injury is a case of simple fracture.
1t is recalled that the empress few
years ago broke bone in her left
foot through being thrown from her
horse at Berchtesgaden.

LEvEE GIVES WAY.
Water IL Flooding the Most Fertile
Land In the Great Yaxoo Delta
In Mlssisslppi.

Greenville, Miss, March ga vol
ume of water 16 feet deep and over
600 feet in length Is pouring steadily
through a crevasse In the levee five
miles south of here and Is flooding
thousands of acres of the finest
farming land in the celebrated Yazoc
delta. The break In the levee oc-
Cured at IL o'clock Friday morning,
and the roar of the rushing waters
can easily be heard in Greenville.
Only 200 feet of the embankment
gave way at first and a mighty effort
was made by hundreds of laborers in
charge of the government engineers
to check the flood by cribbing and
sacking, but it was soon apparent
that it was beyond human power to
successfully combat the resistless
fury of the current. An hour later
it was seen that the ends Of the levee
on either side of the crevasse were
melting fast, the force of the current
cutting the embankment away as
though it was built of sand. When
the first report of the break reached
this city the excitement was intense.
and many people began to collect
their valuables and hold themselves
in readiness to move away at mo-
ment's notice. The backwater has
reached this city. but it is believed
there is no danger here from the
flood, as the water will pass rapidly
TO the southwark.
Maj. John M. Sears, who has charge
temporarily of the government office
here; states that the break is unques-
tionably the worst in the history of
the levee system. He says the entire
delta south as far rs Vicksburg will
be inundated and the fine farming
lands in Washington. Bolivar and
Sharkey counties will be under water
for more than two weeks. This is
the first break to be reported on the
Mississippi side since the present rise
began. Maj. Sears says desperate
struggle is being made to prevent the
further widening of the breach by
revetting the ends of the levee and
strengthening them with sand sacks
1t is feared that this will not l.,
accomplished as the breach is widen
ing rapidly.
Reports from the interior are very
meager, but it is believed the people
were fully prepared for break and
the loss of life, if any, will be re-
duced to a minimum, though the loss
of stock may be quite heavy. The
damage to plantations and the inter-
ference with planting cannot be es-
timated. Another break on the Mis-
sippi is reported in the Albemarle
levee, in Lower Issaquena county, but
information from there is that the
damage from this break will not be
heavy.
The situation at several points on
the Arkansas side. where the levee
was considered to be in critical con-
dition, probably will be greatly i'm
proved because Of the breaks on the
opposite side in drawing off the wa
ter and relieving the pressure at the
points where the strain was the
greatest.

Panama, March 2s.-The revolution
lists of Nicaragua have captured some
of the steamers plying on Lake Mica
ragua and have left the department of
Chontales, which has prevented Presi-
dent Zelaya's forces from attacking
them. The official advices from Maua-
qua, however, say the rising has been
suppressed. On the other hand, there
are reports that the revolutionary
movement is aided by another Central
American government. II this is the
case the outbreak is more serious than
President Zelaya is willing to admit.
The strict censorship maintained over
dispatches allows only official news to
leave Nicaragua.
