TROLLEY CAR3 COLLIDED.
Thre Persons Kllld and .a Soora In
jured Near llnlrwlt.
Detroit, Dec 7. Two pulmrban earn,
carrying some 20 pagseug-ira, and both
running at a s)ieeii of 23 mi led an hour,
collided on the Detroit ei Oakland elec
trio railroad, at 1 o'clock ibis ufiui noon.
Three mon were instantly killol and a
score of persons injured, several of them
seriously. The dead are:
John Parage, superintendent of the
road; Charles M. Whitehead, motor
inan; John Kelly, of Detroit, book
agent. A dozon others were more or
less seriously injured.
The exact cause ol the accident is not
yet known. According lo the schedule,
a car leaves Detroit and routine, every
hour, and there aro throo sidings along
tho road. Today tho cars wero behind
time. Tho one bound southward for
Detroit had paeseri nn outbound car at
a switch two miles from Pontine,' the
the
Mere diiveit halt through each other,
nnd were crushed to pieces.
Had it not been for the stout con
struction of the cars, both of whioh
were new, it Is doubtful whether any of
the ocen pants would have escaped alive.
As it was, nearly all of the 14 passen
gers in ihe southbound car suffered
some injury. Some of the injured wero
t.iken to farmera' hous.-s, others were
brought to city hospitals.
The Matter Arranged.

vacated by tho nomination of Attorney
General MoKentia to bo associate jus
tice of the United States supreme court.
It has not yet been settled when Gov

GENERAL PANDO SHOT
Spaniards Discredit It in tho
Absense of Proofs.
SPANISH DEFEAT AT MATAXZAS
Santa Clara tha Reported Scene of Pan.
do'a Last FIhtHnmllpox
In pan Domingo. '
New York, Deo. . A Herald dis
patch from Havana says: A report
that General Pando, who was placed in
charge of military operations in Cuba
by General Blanco, has been killed in
an engagement with insurgents in
Hanta Clara province, hag just reached
Havana. This has caused the utmost
excitement in palace and social circles,
and every effort is being made to get
news from General Pando'a force to
verify the startling news.
Nj details of the killing of the com
mander have been received, but the
statement I that he was shot in a bat
tle with insurgents while on the march
from Sugua la Grande to the .southern
coast of Santa Clara, where he was to
take a ship for Manzaniilo.
Officers at the palace declare that the
story must be thoroughly confirmed be
fore they will believe it.
General Pando's plan was to march
right through the heart of the territory
where General Gomez' forces are said
to have control. Simultaneously . with
the report of Pando'a death comes news
of a battle near Matanzits in which the
Spanish forces were driven from the
field. This engagement was bitterly
fought, and it is asserted that the
losses of the Spaniards was very heavy.
The same report says the Cubans
will not allow any cane grinding, and
also that the Spanish towns 00 not fa
vor grinding, because they bold the
zones of cultivation and grow tobacco
with cheap labor, which they would
lose if the reconcentrados return to
work on the estate.
A letter received by a local paper
from a correspondent in the East gives
news of big lighting last week near
Bayawo between the rebel Chief Kabl
and General Linares. General Rabi
had only 500 men when General Lin
ares had two column. Ko details of
the fight are at hand, but the Spanish
loss is said to have been heavy, one col
umn being .nearly destroyed.
A force of 1,000 Spaniards, with ar
tillery, have forced the rebels into tho
hills of Pinar del Eio. They must re
main there or como out and fight, a
thing tho Spanish commanders think
they are not likely to do. Small bands
are still moving about with great cau
tion. Keporta of tho condition and move
ments of rebel in the east are most
conflicting. It is said that Gomez is
coming west with 40,000 men, but it is
also said that Gouiez is still at the
camp where he has been for the last 10
mouth, and is being attended by Dr.
Caudea, BtaCf surgeon.
Smallpox In San Domingo.
Havana, Dec. 6.- The deplorable
condition of the country grows more
and more apparent. Refugees and re
concentrados are growing more and
more miserable. According to reports
from San Domingo smallpox is making
terrible ravages among the conoentrados.
Since April last more thaD 4.000 have
died in the city alone, to say nothing
of the suburban towns, which are like
wise affected.
The local authorities take no steps
whatever to check the mortality. The
streets of the city are thionged with
famine stricken wretches, whosuoeumb
to disease under perhaps some lonely
porch, and sometimes fall dead in the
gutter, where they remain.
DUE TO THE KLONDIKE RUSH.
Blg Wsr la Passenger Bates
to Ar-
rire Booa.
Milwaukee, Dec. 2. The war in pas
senger rates between Chicago, Milwau
kee and St. Paul is likely to continue,
and railroad men look for the liveliest
kind of cutting In rates further west,
owing to the big rush to the Klondike.
A well-known railroad man said today
that since the rate dropped to $7, reduc
tions in fares will likely result as far
west as Portland. The nominal rate is
49.70 second-class on the St. Paul road,
and $59.70 first-class. With 7 from
Chicago to Sj. Paul as a basis, the fare
will probably be changed to t-17 second
class and f 57 first-class. He added that
this was merely a preliminary for the
establishment of an entirely new sched
ule of rates to the West January 1,
which will be much lower. All the
roads are preparing to make special
rates to the points nearest the Klondike
region, and each road is after all there
i ia it. "'

CHARLES YERKES" SCHEME.
Proposes to Torn the Chicago River la
' to a Boulevard.
Chicago, Dec. 6. Twenty mile ol
docks on the lake front and the trans
formation of the Chicago river into a
bonlevard by covering it with a onlvert
from end to end is what Charle T.
Yerkes proposes for Chicago.
The street-car magnate appeared be
fore the city council today and vigorous
ly opposed the proposed deepening of
tlie river and the lowering of the tun
nels. He urged that the city should
grant the land front it owns between
Randolph street and Park row to a cor
poration with $60,000,000 oash to
build 20 docks, each a mile long, which
at the end of 50 years will revert to
the oity at the bare cost of construc
tion. '
"Build them of stone," said be,
"and Chicago will have the finest
docks in the world, not excepting those
at Liverpool."
Mr. Yerke frankly declared it to be
his opinion that money spent to beauti
fy the lake front is merely thrown
sway. It his lake front harbor plan
was carried out, he suggested that the
river be covered with culverts and made
into a boulevard, extending from the
mouth to the end of the North and
South branches, making, the speaker
said, the most magnificent boulevard in
the world. - -
