Explosion Follows Collision.
The explosion following the COLI
sion between the two trains, which met
head-on almost in front of the tele-
graph station, was terrific Everything
within a radius of half mile was
wrecked The town of Terrace, Is
miles to the north, was shaken as by
an earthquake, window-panes in the
station at Colon, Is miles away, were
shattered, and the sound of the ex-
plosion was heard in this city, 81
miles from the scene of the disaster.
The ground upon which the trains
were standing was torn up for over
thousand feet, leaving a great ex-
cavation 80 feet in depth, fragments
of dozen freight cars and two en-
gines were thrown for incredible dis
tances over the surrounding country,

splinters and the dead and injured
were scattered for hundreds of feet in
all directions, most of them having
their clothing torn off. Telegraph
wires and poles were torn down for
a thousand feet, and the first knOwl-

ensue from the struggle in the far east
is not shared by Great Britain Nop pow
er has made such complete naval prep
aration for every contingency, and yet
nowhere is confidence greater that the
hostilities may be confined to Russia and

and military preparations announced
from continental capitals are regarded
mere as being mere common sense meas
ures which any power must adopt how
ever remote the contingency of their
employment may appear. 1t is also
thought that the lull in the actual war
news has led many European correspon-
dents crnnlnu thoir IN,
aggerating the continental action and in
applying such steps as have been actual
ly taken to erroneous motives. The lat
est of these, the dispatch from Madrid
announcing that preparations have
been made to send reinforcements to
the Baleric islands, meets with an en-
phatic denial in interested quarters, and
the additional statement from Madrid
that Great Brit;.,i intends to seize Span
ish points in the event of war has not
even the semblance of probability.
The press learns that at the present
moment Spain and Great Britain are on
the verge of concluding an arbitration
treaty and that in other ways their
diplomatic relations are closer than
they have been for years past.
At the Spanish embassy here it was
emphatically declared that the move
ments of Spanish troops were not due
to warning from treat Britain or any
other power, but were simple and COM
paratively unimportant precautions that
all nations must take when one of the
great powers is involved in war Els
pecially, it was pointed out, should
Spain be in a position to enforce the
laws of neutrality, as her island posses
sions in the Mediterranean and the
Canaries in the Atlantic easily lend
themselves geographically to become
the seat of possible disputes.
At the foreign office and at the Spanish
embassy (the latter being particularly
well informed of the diplomatic moves
of the other European chancelleries),
the belief is entertained that no other
European power will be involved, least
of all Spain, which has no direct or in
direct interest at stake
''All the rumors," the foreign Office
said, that European complications are
in sight are quite baseless.''

MAY WHEAT SELLS AT S1.O7.
Cereal Raises Four Cents and Pande-
monium Prevails on Chicago
Board of Trade.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Wheat resumed it's
upward flight Saturday and increased
speculative excitement The market
hesitated somewhat at the outset. and
momentary calm prevailed, but sur
denly buying wave struck the pit. 1t
fairly swept brokers off their feet. BY
leaps and bounds the May price, which
slipped from $1.04 at the opening off
to $1.025s, went soaring to $1.O7, or
night. Pandemonium accompanied
the advance. Brokers rushed madly
back and forth between the pit and
telegraph counters, with their hands
full of orders. These, because of the
exciting state of the trade, it was al
most impossible to fill
Bullish sentiment on wheat had
gained in intensity over night, and the
trading exceeded in volume that OF the
previous session. Further advances in
the markets abroad, coupled with low
er quotations for English consols, kept
the trade alive to the fact that a war
is on between Russia and Japan in the
far east, which may lead to further
complications between the European
powers. The situation is regarded as
one which will greatly enhance the
value of food supplies, particularly
breadstuffs.
Russian shipments of wheat, which
have supplied the European require
ments for months past, are likely to be
cut off. In that event foreign buyers
will be forced into competition with
American millers. Commission houses
traded in millions of bushels of the
cereal Armour, who is said to still
own millions of bushels of long May
wheat, fed the market literally early.
There was also profit-taking by scores
of other holders, but the offerings were
quickly taken up by buyers, who not
being satisfied eagerly bid for more.
