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. The dispatch
furnislved evidence that Mr. Dickinson
remains In direct communication with the
brigands or their agents.
TEN JAPANESE KILLED.
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. General Chaf
fee has issued a general order highly com
mending the conduct of a detachment of
the First Infantry, which made a scout
Into the Island of Samar August 13-23 fast.
Captain Harold I. Jackson was in com
mand of the detachment, which consist
ed of First Lieutenant Joseph W. Ben
ham, Jr., Contract Surgeon C. R. Ohllnger,
45 enlisted men of Company I, 35 of Com
pany I, and 30 natives. General Chaffee
said the report shows' that the enemy
was twice encountered and defeated, val
uable papers captured and chattels and
supplies of the enemy destroyed. Valuable
Information was also gained. The energy
and gallantry displayed are highly com
mended, and the instance is placed on
record as one of the many feats of en
durance and determination shown by the
troops of the command.
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.

abductions have occurred In the same re
gion, but they have not attracted wide
spread attention, because the brigands
never before have made such exorbitant
demands.
"The brigands," said he. "evidently be
lieve that a ransom of $100,000 Is a mere
bagatelle to the country of the Goulds
and tho Vanderbllts."
POPE'S END DRAWS NIGH.
The Air at Rome Is Full of Appre
hension. LONDON, Nov. 18. A dispatch to the
Chronicle from Rome says:
"In spite of persistent and apparently
well-founded 'denials that there Is any
imminent danger of the pope's decease,
the air Is full of speculation and appre
hension, indicating that his end is not
considered far ofT. 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.

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.

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.
To offset the heavy exports of gold, there
were unusually large tenders of Govern
ment bonds for redemption at the Sub
treasury. One house turned In Jl.685,000
of the 4s of 1925, for which $2,348,521 was
paid out, and other payments for bonds
were made, the total being In excess of
J2.500.000. The Bank of Montreal has re
ceived $1,000,000 from Australia. The Mall
and Express says:
"An explanation of the unusual engage
ments of the day is found in the fact that
tomorrow's gold steamer is a very fast
boat, which means a saving of Interest, a
very importanfmatter in gold exports."
The German shipment attracted atten
tion because most bankers do not see a
profit in sending gold to Berlin at present.
