Sensational Incident.

washington, July >. - Reaching
through a period of several years, dur
ing which popular agitation in this
country for intermediary action in be-
half of the Cubans was more or less
acute, Minister De LOme's career in
the United States was marked by one
Of the most sensational incidents in
the history of American diploma y.
This was the famous De Lone letter
episode of February, 1898, in the heat
of the Cuban excitement and barely
two months before the outbreak of the
Spanish war. The letter was person
al one to Senior Don Jose Canalejas,
containing very deprecatOry Utterances
about President Mckinley. Canalejas
was a prominent editor and old friend
of the minister. De LONE in this let
ter, which was intercepted by the Gu
ban junta and published broadcast
throughout the country, said:
Besides the natural and inevitable
coarseness with which ne repeats all
that the press and public opinion of
Spain has said of General Weyler, il
shows once more what Mckinley is,
weak and catering to rabble, and be-
sides, low politician, who desires to
leave a door open 10 me and to stand
well with the jingoes of his party"
This letter was published in facsim-
lie of the original and sent to Secre-
tary of State Day, who hurried to the
legation and Immediately confronted
the diplomat with the letter. De LONE
admitted its authenticity.
De LONE then executed a very clever
diplomatic coupe by cabling his resig-
nation to Madrid instantly, so as to
precede this governments demand for
his recall. He sent a second cable
gram insisting on its acceptance, with
which the Madrid cabinet complied, al
though subsequently expressing its re-
greet at the action of its minister. Polo
Y. Bernabe was appointed his successor
here.

Storm Makes for Train.

The engineer, who escaped injury,
said ne watched the gathering storm
closely as his train sped along, as he
feared from the appearance of the
clouds that a tornado might result.
As the train approached Oakford the
clouds suddenly seemed TO concen-
trate and drop, apparently coming di.
rectly towards the train. Realizing
that the train would encounter the
tornado If it proceeded, the engineer
shut off steam and stopped. The an
preaching tornado when about a mile
away. suddenly swerved toward the
north and the train was directly in its
path Instantly the engineer opened
the throttle in a wild endeavor To
rush beyond the zone of danger and
again the tornado swerved and head
ed directly for the flying train. The
roar was heard plainly above the rat
lie of the train. Steam was crowd
ed on and like a rocket the train
jumping and pounding on the rails
smashed ahead in an enGcaycT C
cross before the cyclone and pass ir
was heard above the roar OF the tor
uado, the train was struck bToadside,
the coaches were torn from the en-
CINE, lifted into the air and hurled
from the embankment into ~.,cI
seven feet below after turning a com
plete somersault in the descent. The
engine alone remained upon the rails.
The engineer and fireman hurried
back TO the wreck and began pulling
out passengers. Those uninjured
/ Immediately assisted and within a re
markably short time the dead express
messenger, Thomas Wiley, and the
4 injured passengers were taken from
the debris. The engine was then
run to Petersburg, where a relief
train was made Up and bearing ply

The Day on 'change.

Unsettled weather conditions in the
southwest overshadOwed all other in
fiuences affecting the wheat market,
heavy rains in Kansas, Missouri and
Iowa, causing an active demand from
shorts for the September delivery. As
a result of this demand the price
showed a gain. On the advance there
was considerable profit taking by 10
cal longs, but offerings were we'll alb
sorbed
September advanced before any re
action occurred. During the latter
part of the session the market weak
ened considerably under heavy realiz-
ing sales. A rally followed on cover
ing by shorts.
Higher cables and strength of wheat
caused a firm undeTtone in corn. The
volume of business, however, was
small trading being confined almost
exclusively to local operators.
In sympathy with other grains the
oats market held firm at slight adj
vance. Offerings were very small
and came mainly from scalpers.
Provisions were barely steady I'm
der moderate liquidation. Smaller re-
Ce!pts of hogs than expected and a
firm market at the yards caused a
small initial advance in all products.
hut the gain was all lost on profit TAX
ing. Pork showed the greatest weak
ness, the September delivery selling
down.

Japan Files Protest.

The japanese contend that the Rus
SLAMS are not entitled 10 neutral pro-
lection under the circumstances. They
deny the case is similar to that of the
Russian gunboat Mandjur, which was
at Shanghai when hostilities com
nenced.
The entry of the Russian waTships
into either Kaichou or Weihaiwei
would prove embarrassing 10 the gov
ernments controlling these ports.
Gar Has no News.
st. Petersburg, July 3-Noth.ng is
known here of the report that a sea
fight has taken place between the
Vladivostok squadron and the Japan
csc squadron commanded by Vice Ad-
miral Kamimura. No surprise would
be created here if the report should
be confirmed. So far as known the
vladivostok naval division has not re-
turned TO that port.
The admiralty is greatly puzzled
over the number and character Of the
Japanese ships which Rear admiral
Without saw June 90 before Port Ar
thur. Being unable to account for a
formidable fleet some naval officers
are wondering if Admiral Togo has
not rugged merchantmen as dummy
warships.
Later reports received by the ma
val authorities are to the effect that
one of Rear Admiral WithOft's ships
was lightly damaged in the recent en-
gagement off Port Arthur.
