to the United States, has left Paris for
Washington. He has completed three
months tour of the Canary Islands, Por-

of sending emigrants to certain parts of
Cuba. In a Paris interview the minister
said he was surprised over the universal
feeling of good will toward Cuba. He
spoke with the prime ministers of all the
countries he visited and heard nothing
but the highest praise for the attitude of
the United States toward his country and
the hope was expressed everywhere that
the island soon would become self-gov-
erning republic. A feature of Senior de
Quesada's journey was the banquet ten
dered him by the civil and military au-
thorities of Santander. 1t was the first
time such an honor had been shown

ChfcagO-Duluth Limited Deraf1ed,
but Passengers Escape Death.
The Chicago-Duluth limited passenger
train, north-bound, on the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, jumped the track
at Kempton, Wis. A number of passeD
gers and trainmen were injured but none
seriously. The escape from fatalities was
almost miraculous, as the train was going
fifty miles an hour. The engine turned
complete somersault, and all the cars
save two went over on their sides. Ac
cording to a statement issued from the
offices of the road in ST. Paul, the derail-
ment was caused by some unknown per-
son removing a rail and two ties on the
north side of the west-bound track, the
angle bar being tied to the end of the rail
with a piece of blue cloth. About ten
passengers were slightly injured. Engi-
neer Washburn of Minneapolis was bruis
ed about the head and face and may be
injured internally.
