THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 190L S LEnER FROM MISS STONE I.03fG CAPTIVITY HAS SOMEWHAT AFFECTED HER HEALTH. Brisrands Will' Hold Out for a.- Boa- 10m Mnoh Above the Sum at Dickinson's Command. SOFIA, Nov. IS. Another letter has been received from Miss Ellen M. Stone. Her health has been somewhat affected by her continuous confinement and hard fare, but she expresses herself as still confident of ultimate release. A letter to Mr. Dickinson, diplomatic agent of the United States at Sofia, re plying to his proposals concerning a ran som, says the brigands will hold out for a figure very much above the sum, at Mr. XMgklnson's command. The brigands in terpret Mr. Dickinson's note having fixe n the sum he is willing to pay, and on a time limit, as being indicative that he can get more money. They also demand Immunity from prosecution. But it is im possible for the diplomatic agent, of the TTnited States to have power to bind the governments of Bulgaria and Turkey. This point, however, is not likely to be a serious obstacle in the way of negotia tions Benson to Be Hopeful. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Another ca blegram received from United States Consul-Genera! Dickinson at Sofia, today indicates that, while Miss Stone has not yet been ransomed, there is reason to feel assured as to her future.

Tr rcnty-clgrht Others Were Injured In n Montana Train Collision. GREAT FALLSMont, Nov. 18. Ten Japanese laborers were killed and 28 in jured, three probably fatally, and the others more or less seriously, in a col lision between a freight train and a work train on the Great Northern Railroad near Culbertson. a station close to the Eastern boundary line of this state, Sun day morning. The freight train was run ning at a rate of speed estimated at 25 miles per hour; the work train was sta tionary. Round a curve, the freight crashed into the work train, and sad havoc followed. One of the cars in the Vi-ork train was a bunk or. sleeping-car. In this there were 41 Japanese laborers. But three of them escaped death or in jury. The story told by the survivors is that the most awful scene followed the crash. "Wounded men lay about eijrywhere; all were horribly mangled. The ground was soaked with blood, affd The shrieks of the v Injured were agonizing. The car con tained a stove, and the wreckage was soon ignited. The trainmen and the three uninjured Japanese worked swiftly to save the victims from the certain death In the flames. By dint of extraordinary effort on the part of the uninjured none was Incinerated. .The fire communicated to the other cars in the train, and alto gether seven of them were burned. Such help as Culbertson offered was speedily summoned, and as soon as possible a spe cial train was sent from Glasgow, a di vision point, with surgeons and other assistance. The wounded men were brought to Glasgow, where they remained until this morning, when the more seri ously Injured were brought to Great Falls on a special train. Those who were not so badly hurt were cared for at Glasgow. The special train from Glasgow with its ghastly burden of dead and dying was met at the station in Great Falls by will ing men, eager to lend every assistance. The Injured were taken to the hospitals, where their wounds were dressed. It is the opinion of the surgeons that three of the men In the hospitals will die, and perhaps o"thers may also succumb. Few of the Japanese are able to tell a connected story of the disaster, owing to their inability to speak English. Their tales, howovpr, simple and broken as they are, tell the horrible experience which they underwent. "Wrecking crews have cleared the track, and traffic has been resumed. An Inquest was held at Glasgow tonight. Sunday's disaster is the second of the kind that has occurred on the Great Northern within Tecent months. The previous accident took place near Kallspell, in the extreme northwestern portion of Montana, when 36 laborers were killed. Superintendent Downs, of the Great Northern, with head quarters at Spokane, was also killed at the time. ENTOMBED MINER RELEASED. Work of Removing Debris nt the Baby Mine Contlnnes. POCAHONTAS. Va., Nov. 18. The work of removing fallen slate and debris from the Baby mine continues. This morning Fritz Moulton was found entombed in a room on the west side. He was living, but a few hours more would no doubt -have brought death. For six hours physicians worked with him before he was- restored to consciousness. He Is yet feeble, but will likely recover. There was great re joicing when the news spread that he had been recovered alive. Moulton says all within the mine Thursday night com mented on the heaviness of the atmos phere, and that a number of the men left their work ahead of him. He soon found that danger was imminent, and, along with several others, started run rang from the drift. A heavy report that shook the mountain was heard, and an Instant later a huge cloud of smake and flame was seen coming. He lost sight of his companions, but he turned into a side room as quickly as possible, and was shut off by falling slate. Probably two days passed before he succumbed to the foul air. Injured by Explosion of Gas. "WASHINGTON, Pa., Nov. 18--A natural-gas explosion occurred along the main pipe line -of the "Wheeling Gas Company at Buffalo, a village eight miles west of here, last evening, which re sulted in Injuries to six men, two of whom, W. S. Bronsell and Leslie Max well, will probably die. John Wallace, Martin Hogan, George Dennison and Carl Martin were badly burned. The big gas main of the "Wheeling Gas Company sprang a leak near Buffalo, ana the company sent out a repair party. The gas was turned off all day, and the men were at work In. a deep ditch mak ing the repairs. The repairs wore almost completed when, through some mistake, the gas was turned on at the gates and came rushing along through the main with great pressure. Bronsell, ignorant that the gas had been turned on, was holding a torch near an opening, and the explosion resulted. International Brotherhood of Labor. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Ben Tillett. or ganizer of the London Dockers Union, and F. Chandler, of the Amalgamated So ciety of Carpenters, who have just ar rived from England to attend the coming convention of the American Federation of Labor, addressed a recent session of the Central Federated Union. Both are dele gates from the British Trades Union Con gress to the coming convention, of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Til lett said: "This Is the country of Inventions, and Inventions help the people help every one. I observe, however, that there are people In London who have property thousands of miles away, that they can only reach by cable. They look upon the world as Napoleon and Alexander the Great did, and call us dreamers. But Na poleon and Alexander were dreamers, too, and realized their dreams. It is, for us to do the same. It Is in our power to create an international brotherhood of labor." Iabor Leader Chandler spoke of a closer alliance between the workers of this coun try and England or defensive purposes. COMMENDED BY CHAFFEE. Fine Record of a Detachment of the First Infantry In Samar. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.

COURT-MARTIALS OF FILIPINOS. Case of Insurgent General Who Has Been Sentenced to Death. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. The records of a score or more court-martials of Fili pinos charged with murder and other crimes have been received at the "War Department from the Philippines. Prob ably the most interesting case is that of Francisco Braganza, Major in the In surgent army, who ordered the massacre of 103 Spanish prisoners in February, 1900, and who now has been sentenced to death for his crime. General Chaffee made an unusually long review of this case, characterizing the wholesale destruction of life as "the most barbarous and revolting massacre of help less prisoners known to the modern his tory of war." He calls attention to the tact that the chiefs of the Insurgents did their utmost to prevent the United States from fulfilling Its obligation to employ its best efforts to return the Spanish prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos to Spain. It was upon the approach of a detachment of American troops that this Filipino officer ordered the "massacre of helpless Spaniards In his charge. "In what manner this cruel policy could serve the cause of the Insurrection," says Gen eral Chaffee, "passes ordinary compre hension." The records give full details of the horrors of the killings.

Rumors of intrigue and slate-making, which it is Impossible to keep from the outside world, exude from every crevice of the jealously-guarded Inner precincts of the Vatican. The pope's closest personal attendants This Is Gbod Proof of our claims for lalt Breakfast Food FROM-A FOOD EXPERT.- Howard K. James of San Francisco, sec retary California Retail Grocers' and Mer chants' Association, writes as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 20, 1900. THE MALTED CEREALS CO., Gentlemen: The truest thing In the ad vertisements of Malt Breakfast Food which you have published Is that "the firm starts the goods, and quality does the rest." Little children who tire of everything In the cereal line will take up this food and cling to it with no desire for a change much longer than they will any other food. It is a fact that my own youngster, who has passed by everything I have been able to find in the market, after a few days has put the seal of his approval on Malt Breakfast Food to the extent of insisting upon having it three times per day, and this condition has existed now for over six weeks, during which time I question If a day has gone by without his having it for breakfast, lunch and supper. For the old folks, I believe that this is the most satisfactory thing on the market today for weak or tired stomachs, and for that jaded feeling that occasionally Is ours at breakfast time. Very truly yours. HOWARD K. JAMES. Include his faithful valet, Sentro, one chaplain and one minor prelate, who con stantly and tenderly guard his material comfort. His meals are served In his pri vate apartment nt a small table at which none other, even a crowned head, may sit down. No feminine hand may tend or soothe the august invalid. MUCH GOLD FOR EUROPE. Xew Record for Engagements From Tiew York Established. NEW YORK, Nov. 18. A new record for gold engagements to Europe from this port was established today, when gold to tho amount of J7.082.5S1 was taken from the assay office for shipment on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which will leave tomorrow. The gold was or dered in the regular course of business, and, according to report, all but $1,000,000, which goes to Berlin, will be sent to Paris, the steamship dropping the greater part at Cherbourg. The shipments were made possible by the high rate of exchange, and it was fiured today that, unless a rapid change of rates occurs, fuKy ?25,000,000 more will follow. The shippers, and the amounts follow: Lazard Freres J2.568.109 Heldelbach. Jcklehelmer & Co 1.506,766 National City Bank 1,243,525 Goldman. Sachs & Co 1,005,533 Baring, Magoun & Co 758,650 The departure of this big amount of gold marks a change of attitude on the part of the marine underwriters in this country. For a long time, even with the modern and safe ocean-going vessels, It has been the custom of underwriting offi cials not to risk any more than about J4.O00.O0O In any one "bottom." All the gold going out tomorrow will be In the form of bars. The packing of this vast amount of gold was done today at the assay office, and was not completed until a late hour. The $1,000,000 gold Jto Ger many was packed In oblong boxes. The remainder was put into new oak kegs, which were strongly bound with Iron hoops and carefully sealed top and bottom.
