peter SANDBERG CLAIMS TO
KNOW MAYOR WRIGHT'S SECRET

Public interest in the question of
whether Tacoma is presided over by
an American citizen or a subject of
King Edward increases. So far as
can be learned. the only man who
has been entrusted with the secret
is Peter Sandberg of the Kentucky
Liquor company, Globe hotel, ct al.
Mr. Sandberg claims to hold the key
to the situation and says that Mayor
Wright has his second papers all
right, but is very foolish not to say
so publicly.
81 know that the mayor has his
second papers because ! saw them, y
said Mr.. Sandberg.
What was the date ON them?" he
was asked.
II don't know that. l didn't look
to see"
Where were they issued?"
"Oh, | don't know. ! didn't look
close enough to see The mayor told
me he had his papers in his pocket,
and Just pulled them out and let
me see them"
Mayor Wright still maintains a
sphinx-like attitude, and when inter-
viewed on the subject there is an
ominous silence so far as the facts
are concerned TO use his own
words, he has not had "a change of
heart"
This morning it was reported that
A. v Fawcett, of Fawcett Bros,
had zen let into the secret and held

cred as menace to the OF man
government. In addition. however,
he was told that the United States
would insist strenuously upon her
rights and upon compliance With her
request with reference to trading
claims and the proper protection Of
American interests.
1t is understood that no further
instructions will be sent to Minister
Leishman until after The arrival Of
the squadron at Smyrna.

millrace when the baggage car,
smoker and chair car left the
tracks and plunged into the stream.
They were swept down stream four
miles before they ran ashore.
In the first coach the passengers
were standing in the aisles for lack
of seats. 1t is estimated that 100
persons were in this car alone, most
ly from Denver and Colorado
Springs, bound for Pueblo
Two Pullman cars and a dining
car on the rear remained on the
track,
Saved the Rear Cars.
Through the quick action of col
ored porter named Sales, who, feel
ing the first shock OF the engine as
it struck the chasm, reached up and
pulled the air cord, the car wheels
were locked. and this broke the
coupler connecting the chair car and
the forward sleeper.
Fireman Mayfield jumped in time
to save his life, but Engineer Hin
man went down with his engine.
When the news reached Pueblo a
special was made up and a relief
party went to the scene and began
the search for bodies, which, as fast
as they were recovered. were boxed
and taken to Pueblo.
Relief trains were also sent from
Denver.

About 40 bodies had been recov-

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. S.-Only
eleven bodies have been recovered
from the wreckage of Missouri Paci-
fic train No. II, which crashed
through a bridge on the Denver &
Rio Grande line over roaring
stream at Eden, eight miles from
here, last night, and of these only
two have been identified. Between
rs and 1875 persons are still missing
and all of these are supposed to be
dead.
There is little hone of recovering
many of the dead. as the bodies have
probably been swept into the Arkan-
sas river by The stream, which was
swollen by a cloudb"r%.
Crashed Into ChasM.
The wrecked train was running at
a high rate of speed when it struck
the bridge and the whole structure
crashed into the roaring torrent, TAX
ing with it the ill-fated train and
every passenger aboard.
Only 25 Persons Saved.
So far as can be ascertained only
25 persons were saved, while it is
known that between 1876 and 150
were on the train at the time of
the accident.
Caused by Cloudburst.
The bridge which gave way with
the train spanned dry creek, which
had suddenly become raging
stream owing to a clOudburst. The
water had undermined the bridge to
such an extent that the weight of the
train sent the structure crashing 40
feet of the bottom of the chasm.

years ago which crippled the line.

to Garcia puzzled the president until
someone suggested Rowan as the one
person who could accomplish the feat
So Rowan was sent for and given his
orders.
Strapping the oilskin packet con-
tanning the letter over his heart, the
lieutenant set out on his journey. In
four days he landed in an open boat
on Cuban soil, and then plunged into
the almost impenetrable jungle. 1t
took him three weeks to pierce the
country, surrounded as he was by
foes on every side. At the end of
that time he emerged from the jungle
and found Garcia and delivered the
letter in safety.

one love. his country, and one attach

Colonel Wilton was a wldower. As

He, too, had changed his attire and
now was clad in the becoming dress
of a naval lieutenant Of the period.
He wore q sword. of course, and n

red facings, with single epaulet on
his shoulder which denoted his official
rank. His blond hair was lightly
touched with powder and tied after
