BAD WRECK ON THE B & 4.
oGnYERNoR,S TRAIN" CRASHES
 INTO 4 HOG TRAIN.

Latter Had Stopped to Remedy a Break
 down-Engine of the Former Goes
 Down n Steep EmbnnEInent and the
 Engineer is seriously InJnred-The
 Passengers Escape but Many Hogs
 Are Killed.
 Springfield, Mass, Dec. 26.-The Bos- ton and Albany passenger train known as the "Governor's train,'' leaving this .city eastbound at 9:10 q. rl., was wrecked near smiths Crossing be- tween Springfield and WestheId about #3 o'clock this morning by colliding. with the rear end of a hog train which was running ahead of it and which had stopped to remedy a breakdown to the engine.
 The engine of the passenger train went down a steep embankment, over turned and was demolished, carrying Engineer Merritt and Fireman Wheeler with it, the former crawling from the wrecked cab badly injured. His legs were badly scalded and he received bad scalp wounds and internal injur- ies are feared. He was taken to Mercy hospital in this city, where it is believed he will recover. Fireman Wheeler was not much hurt, although buried by the coal of the tender, in which he was shoveling at the time of the collision. None of the passengers was seriously injured and no cases were reported, though some were bad lly shaken up and many received bruises.
 The caboose and two cars of the hog train were demolished and many hogs were killed, some being roasted in the wreckage, which took fire. Many oth- CTS were liberated by the crash and took to the woods. Some injured ani- mals dragged themselves about until killed by nearby farmers.
 As soon as Engineer Merrill had re- ceived attention from doctors who were on the train the crew gave their attention to clearing the tracks and traffic was resumed in about half an hour. That the wreck was not more serious and that no lives were lost is due to the fact that the passenger train was running slowly, being under orders owing to the slight distance ahead of the hog train.

NEW OUTBREAK IN SAMAR.
GOVERNOR WRIGHT SENDS PAR-
 FICULARS TO TAFT

Natives Leave West and North Side of
 Island and Become Active on the East
 coast--This section Practically With
 out Harbor and DifiicuIt of Access
 During Existing Monson--Reinforc-
 ing Constabulary.
 Washington, Dec. 26 Secretary Taft to-day received a cable message from Governor Wright at Manila in response to his inquiry in regard to the recent uprising of the PuIajanes at Dolores, Samar. Governor Wright's message is as follows:
 Manila, Dec. 26. 1904. Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.:
 with reference to your telegram of Fist inst, regret to say that General .Corbin's report of attack on and loss of detachment of scouts at Oras and Do- lores is correct. Pulajanes have of late left west and north sides of Sarnar and become active on east coast, which is practically without harbor and very difficult of access during prevalence of the existing monsoon. Orders were given some time since to strengthen all attachments on the east coast, but url- fortunately this was delayed by wreck and loss of coast guard boat carrying q hundred or more of the constabulary. The men were saved, but the delay in sending another coast-guard boat to the rescue resulted in leaving these small detachments at Oras and Dolores isolated and the consequent loss. All east coast stations have been heavily reinforced, and we are still sending in men by my direction. General Allen tchief of constabulary) left here (Ma- nila) two weeks since to take personal charge Of affairs in Salnar. am still further reinforcing him with constabu- Iary, and am consulting with General Corbin, who, if necessary, will aid us with troops.

Joyce, the governors pardon and requisition clerk, that his papers were defective in that they failed to prove that Dr. Chadwick was in the. state of Ohio on March 5, 1903, when the alleged forgery was committed.
 Sheriff Barry decided not to try to correct his papers now, but to go on to New York and arrest Dr. Chadwick and arrange for his reouisition after wards.

MT. Keeler subsequently, swore to this affi-. dayit before a notary public, after which it was at once forwarded to Sheriff Barry at the Hoffman house in New York.
 Prosecutor Keeler declared that all the information as to the date, etc. lad been embodied in the indictment by the grand jury. a copy of which has been attached to the requisition papers.
 This affidavit that am sending to New York to-day" said the prosecutor, ifs simply a duplication of what is con- tained in the indictment, I can sec no use in repeating 1t, but shall not Quib- ble over technicalities. This affidavit will probably reach the New York ex- ecutive, through Sheriff Barry, by Wednesday morning.
