New Commercial Treaty.

Madrid, July 19.-The American
 minister, William M. Collier, has left Madrid for San Sebastian where to- day he will sign with Foreign Minis ter Gullon the new commercial treaty between the United States and Spain. The document is considered to be most advantageous to both sides, overcoming number of the increases in the Spanish tariff which becomes operative July and giving Spain reciprocal advantages. The press well
 comes the agreement as entirely sat- isfactory to Spain and as at the same time furnishing evidence of the friendly intercourse between the two governments. The treaty is expected to be the basis for similar under standing between the United States and other powers. Only Germany had secured commercial arrangement overcoming the new Spanish tariff and France and Switzerland are now pressing for similar agreements, in the meantime denouncing the old treaties owing to Spain's hesitation to encourage French and Swiss con- merce.

through some timber land belonging to the company, and, after having made the inspection, started home late in the afternoon.
 As i. was getting dusk, he urged the horse he was riding to faster gait, and when about half way out of the swamp the horse attempted to jump over at small tree which had fallen across the path, and stumbled and fell, pinning the rider to the ground. Pfander got his horse to move a little, and so extricated his right leg from under the horse, but in attempting to help the horse up he fell again, and his left leg slipped under the horse.
 This time Pfander was forced to dig the pinioned limb from under the horse with his hands. As he, tried to re- mount his horse Pfander experienced severe pains in his back, and had to give rp the attempt.
 In tho meantime Flanders son. Wall ter, had arrived at Earle on a visit to his father, and was told where his fa- ther lad gone and that he would re- turn in the evening.
 After waiting until the next evening without any word from his father, Wal ter Pfander started parties out to find him, thinking that perhaps his fla ther had been lost in the timber. Three days later one of the searching parties found the elder Pfander lying close to small stream running through the woods in an exhausted condition.
 He was taken to town as quickly as possible, and ate for the first time in several days. He said that he had been forced to sleep the first night with the saddle for pillow: that he had kept hold of his horses bridle reins day and night to keep the an- imai from leaving him, and that. after being without water or food for two days he finally dragged himself through the brush until he came 10 the small stream beside which he was found.
 He allowed his horse to drink. and while he himself was enjoying his frs. drink in two days his horse slipped away from him. and he would no doubt have starved to death If his son had not rescued him.

 O'Brien was brought to the hos pital from Wilmington. While swab- bing of the decks of the steamship Craigard, into the service of which he was impressed five months ago the night before it left San Francisco on its cruise around the continent, he fell through an open hatchway. He was allowed to lie there unconscious until { member of the crew more hu- mane than his fellows picked him up and carried him to his bunk. Then Wilmington physician was called to Pigeon Point, where the ship was an- chored. and he diagnosed O'Brien's injuries as compound fractures of the shoulder and elbow. He advised his removal to a hospital.
 All the way up on the train O'Brien disregarded the pain his injuries were giving him and begged that informa- ! tion be given him concerning his mother and sister whom he left so unexpectedly and so suddenly on the Pacific coast.
 They have always depended upon me for their support" he moaned. And now I don't know how they have managed to live since I left. I don't even know if they are alive. They may have been killed, both of them, in the earthquake
 After the doctors had finished dressing his injuries O'Brien began again on the recital of his troubles. He told how after talking with sailor. about the pleasures of life on the sea he had suddenly been attacked from the rear. When he woke up again he felt the rolling motion of a ship. He scrambled out of dirty bunk and went on deck to find that the ship was already out of sight of land.
 When he attempted to register a complaint to the officers of the ship he was told roughly to shut up" and was set to work swabbing the decks. Every outburst of anger on his part &as 5mss with blows add 'eurssspd Bel cause he complained he was given the hardest and dirtiest work to do.
