GRAVE PERIL

"Sink0 /" ON LuCin
Cutoff.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OGDEN, Utah, April 27.-It was
learned to-day that the pilot engine
on the Hartman special was nearly
lost in the sink on the Ogden Lucin cut
off yesterday, and the train itself came
altogether. too near peril to suit the
occupants. Every effort was made by
the Southern Pacific officials to sup
press the fact, but the story came out
to-day when a wrecking crew was
sent to raise the locomotive from the
place where it had sunk. 1t is report
ed that the engine was partially under
water, although this cannot be fully
verified. 1t is known. however, that
the sink in the track was so serious
that the train could not get past it.
The special was obliged to go back
by way of Lucin and come over the old
line north of the lake. This caused a
delay of eleven hours. The train did
not arrive here until late last night.
The following were on the Hartman
train: James Stillman, president Ma
tional City Bank. New York; w. G..

city would have involved much und.,-
sired notoriety for the Foreign De-
partment of the Government and a
great deal of expense and trouble
Approaching this fact, the Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, with the
approval of President Diaz, is said to
have invited Consul General EnriqueZ
to return home under the pretext that
his advice was wanted on certain mat
ters then under consideration of the
Cabinet. Never suspecting that a trap
had been laid for him, the Consul Gen
eral hurried to Mexico and had hardly
crossed the border before some friend
informed him that his arrest was
to be effected. Realizing the fact
that his misconduct in office had been
discovered. Enrfquez. instead of going
direct to the City of Mexico, went into
hiding. In the meantime, so the story
goes, his sons had received a warning
and promptly left this city.
ARREST is EFFECTED.
When President Diaz learned that
Enriquez had arrived on Mexican soil
and was hiding he instructed Minister
Mariscal to publicly proclaim Enriquez
a fugitive and to have him captured
by the secret service agents of the
Government. This was done few days
ago and thereupon the warrant charg-
ing Enriquez with the misappropria-
tion of public funds and signed by the
chief of the Department of Foreign Re
lations was made effective.
According to the advices received
yesterday from the City of Mexico he
is charged with having taken for his
own use more than $4,000 gold, or, as is
specifically set forth in the warrant Oh.
which he was arrested. $5407 81, from
the surplus funds of the consulate in
this city. Considering the fact that
Enriquez was only in charge of the
local consulate for very short time
and left this city owing many hun
dreds of dollars, the members of the
local colony of Mexicans are at a loss
for suggestion as TO what he used the
money for, unless he was inveigled
into some unfortunate private under
taking The consulate at this port has
always been a paying one in the matter
of fees In view of its convenient To-
cation to the Orient and the British
provinces ii has been a practice of the
Mexican Government to permit all
moneys collected there to remain in
charge of the Consul General, upon
whom the Government has drawn
whenever it desired to meet ordinary
obligations in China. Japan or in the
north. This fund has generally
amounted to between $4,000 and s2O.-
600 and seemingly has been a great
temptation to its custodians
