Reyes Presents Protest.
Washington, Dec. 26.-Gen. Reyes,
the special representative of Colombia
to the United States, on Thursday pre-
sented' to Secretary Hay at his home
the protest he has been preparing
against the action of the United States
in recognizing the new republic OF
Panama. Later Gen. Reyes said that
he expected to remain in this city
until he receives the answer Of Secre.
tary Hay to his note submitted Thurs.
day. This paper he expects will be
sent to congress soon after 1t con-
venes in January, as a resolution calls
for all correspondence relating to the
establishment of the republic of Pan
anna. Gen. Reyes said that he depre.
Gated warlike talk and had endeavored
steadily to prevent any outbreak on
the part of the people Of Colombia
against the United States.
Gen. Reyes sent an urgent cable
gram to President Marroquin, the first
two words of which were "be patient"

Reyes Note Under CONFEDERATION.
Washington, Dec 28.-State depart
ment officials have under consideration
the nature of the reply which Is to be
made to the note of Gen. Reyes, the
Colombian minister, regarding the &C
ton of the United States in connection
with affairs growing out Of the seces-
sion Of the department of Panama.
Just when the answer is to be ready
is not definitely known. Gen. Reyes is
anxious for an early reply, and the
state department ofncials are equally
anxious that the matter shall be dis
posed of as quickly as Is consistent
with q careful preparation of the ad-
ministration's answer. The Colombian
note contains statement Of the griev-
ances which that country claims to
have suffered under the interpretations
put on the treaty Of 1886. 1t discusses
these grievances in calm and dig
nified tone and sets out reasons which
Gen. Reyes claims support the conten-
lion he has made The probability is
there will be several diplomatic ex-
changes between Colombia and the
United States before anything like q

Is produced almost entirely in the sin.
gle state of California. Production on
q commercial scale was first under.
taken in that state in 1873. Since that
date the industry has made such prog

came laundering along, and, seeing no

to the statement of the railroad officials
the trains originally were to have met
at Oakdale Park, but to help the east
bound train, the dispatcher issued new
orders, fixing Fox as the meeting place.
The eastbound train received its orders
to this effect, and the westbound should
have received this order at McCords.
Instead it rushed by this station, and
the operator there, after reporting this
fact, found on going to the platform
that his red signal light, which had
been burning two minutes before, was
out, presumably extinguished by the
high wind that was blowing.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.

Train Wrecked Near Pittsburg-Sixty-
Four Lives Are Lost.
Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 24-Sixty-three
persons were killed and scores injured
by the wrecking of the Duquesne limited
on the Baltimore and Ohio main line at
Laurel Run, a mile from Dawson, Pa,
last evening. twenty-five of the in
jured are seriously hurt and many OF
them, it is feared, will die.
The special, which was bound for New
York, left here at 80 o'clock and was
making up lost time. BY the time it
reached Laurel Run it was going at 60
miles an hour.
Cause of Disaster.
The wreck was caused by the breaking
of the castings on 4 carload of bridge
timbers on a westbound freight train
which had passed Laurel Run not more
than is minutes before the passenger
train The wreck occurred on curve,
and it was impossible for Engineer
Thornley, to see far enough ahead to de-
tect the obstruction on the tracks. =
Thrown Into the River
The big Atlantic type engine plunged
into the timbers at velocity of GO miles
an hour. The engine plowed into the
embankment, and the baggage and ex-
press cars were thrown into the Yough-
iogheny river. The smoker followed the
engine and landed squarely on top of it.
This allowed the escaping steam from
the engine to fill the car. The smoker
was packed to its utmost capacity, and
all the passengers were cooked alive.
Roast to Death in Smoker.
Most of the killed were foreigners who
were literally roasted to death, the bag
gage and smoker telescoping the engine
and Immediately catching fire. The bod
les of many of them are lying burned to
a crisp in the baggage room of the Balti
more and Ohio depot, to be removed later
to the different undertaking shops in
the city.
Not a single passenger in this car
escaped with his life, and it is estimated
that at least 40 of the dead were in the
smoker.
