Freight and Passenger Trains
Meet on a Curve Near
Whitefish, Mont.
FIVE PERSONS ARE KILLED
Trainmen Say That the Same In
htiuctions Were Given to the
Crews of Three Trains Of
ficials Will Not Talk.
SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 15. Great
Northern eaetbound passenger No.
was wrecked at 10:37 Sunday evening
at Lupper siding, 11 miles from White
fish, by a heavy westbound freight.
Five persons were killed. Freight En
gineer Lee, Fireman King and a stu--dent
fireman from Havre were killed.
T.he engineer and fireman are thought
to be from Kalispell. The engineer
was mashed and scalded. The fire
man's side was burned and his brain
crushed out.
The injured are Passenger Engineer
Schutt and Fireman Steven3. Both re
ceived cuts and were bruised and badly
Beamed, but not seriously. Several
passengers were slightly injured, but
none seriously. Mall Clerks James
iveison ana ficnlckney Hunsucker were
badly cut, though neither seriously.
No. 4 was composed of ten coaches
and the freight train was said to have
had oO cars loaded with merchandise.
The cause of the wreck seems to be
from wrong orders. Three trains had
the samo instructions, so say the train
men. No. 4 was supposed to have a
clear track, but the westbound freipht.
Instead of going on the siding at Lup
fer. passed the switch and was seven
lengths by it when it struck the pas
senger, me ireignt should have side
tracked and waited until No. 4 passed.
"The freight rounded a curve at
about 30 miles an hour. The passen
ger was going about 40 miles an hour
when the freight came in sight." said
Frank w. Nelson, assistant express
messenger on the passenger. "It
plowed down to ten miles when it
struck." Continuing. Mr. Nelson said:
"No. 4 was loaded heavily. We had
a car and a half of fish, much of which
is a total loss. The freight engine
plowed under the passenger engine,
which broke loose from the tender and
fell to the left on top of the. freight
engine. No coaches left the track. The
tender pushed into the baggage-car.
Seven boxcars lie in a heap. A car of
eggs was crushed. four containing
sugar, canned goods, and other mer
chandise are piled in aheap."
A brakeman on No. 4, knowing an
other train followed, ran back and
flagged a freight from Troy, otherwise
the third train would have been
wrecked.
The wrecking train brought the en
gines to Hillyard. The passengers
reached here tonight after 10 o'clock.
The mail was rushed from the wreck
by a special train, so as to avoid delay.
Officials refuse to talk.
STORM SPOILS BANANAS
Hurricane Sweeps Through Central
America. Wasting $1,0 AO, 000.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 16. Damages of
fully Jl.000,000. Including the partial demo
lition of one town, was done by the hur
ricane on the coast of Central America
which was reported by a brief wireless
message received here last night. Wire
less and cable advices today to the United
Fruit Company say that probably no loss
of Ufa occurred.
The hurricane appeared to be central
near Bluenelds. on the east coast of Nic
aragua.' It swept in from the sea. its
first fury striking Little and Great Corn
Islands, which were swept bare of vege
tation and their topography even altered
by the waves. On the mainland, the
rtorm's damage was confined mostly to a
path about 30 miles wide. In which banana
and rubber crops were destroyed and
plantations blown down. Great damage
Is reported from Kama, a town on the
coast about 40 miles from Bluenelds Port
Llmon. Costa Rica, also suffered dam
ages. The United Fruit Company estimates
that the storm will result in cutting down
banana Imports about 20.000 bunches per
week, which is a very small proportion
of the regular weekly volume.

ed by Jose Miguel Gomez. Alfredo Zayas
and Senor Castellanos. The tenor of the
speeches was that what the American
Government had done in Cuba had no
parallel in the world. Cuba should in
every way follow the example of the
United States and thus reach a position
of independence and prosperity, so that,
in the course of time, except for the dif
ference in language and government, Cuba
and the United States would be one.
Juan Galberto Gomez made an appeal
for a peaceful and united republic and
the burying of all factional differences.
He declared that the revolution had not
been brought on by the Liberal party and
said the victory had been so great as to
surprise even the Liberals themselves.
American intervention, he declared, was
not a result of the revolution, but had
followed the action of ex-President Palma
in appealing for American aid.
The killing of Congressman Villuendas
last year was frequently referred to by
the speakers as a primary cause of the
revolution. Senor Zayas denounced for
mer President Palma for misinterpreting
the Piatt amendment in thinking the
United States was bound to uphold the
constituted government and quoted the
former Vice-President under Palma. Men
dez Capote, as having said to the Mod
erate Assembly after the arrival here of
the American commissioners, Messrs.
Taft and Bacon: "
"Gentlemen, we now have two more
insurgents here."
Senor Zayas said he did not blame the
Moderates, but only their leader, Palma,
and that, if Palma was again chosen in a
fair election, the Liberals would sustain
him.
CHIEF OF STAFF ACQUITTED
South African War Scandals Result
In Censure for Some Officers.
LONDON. Oct. 15. The War Office
Issued tonight its decisions in the case
of officers involved in the South Afri
can war stores scandals. General Sir
Neville Gerald Lyttleton. chief of the
general staff and first military member
of the army council, is completely ex
onerated. Secretary of War Haldane
and the army council arriving at the
conclusion that it was beyond human
possibility for General Lyttleton to
supervise the system of supply while
his whole energies were being devoted
to commanding troops.
Several officers are censured and
others retired with and without pay
allowed retired officers. Many others
are exonerated and restored to service.
The war scandals were the subject
of an attack by the opposition on the
Balfour Ministry in June. 1905, which
resulted in the appointment of a royal
commission to inquire into them. It
was alleged that officers of the British
army during the South African war
worked in collusion with contractors.
The contractors, it was alleged, bought
stores at absurdly low prices and re
sold them to the military authorities
at enormous profits, entailing a loss
to the government of $5,000,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 15. The dam
age to the Pacific Mall Liner Mongolia,
as a result of running on the reef at
Midway, on the night of September 15,

hours All along her keel, from a point
directly beneath her forward hatch to
a point below the bridge there was a
stream of water pouring from her In
terior, particularly on the starboard side
where the most damake was done.
At least 50 of the big bottom plates
were found to be dented or broken and
perhaps two score rivets had been
sheared off. The bilge keel was mashed
and curled up in many places. There was
no apparent damage aft of the bridge.

DHIFTS ON RAFTTHREE DAYS
SOLE SURVIVOR OF WRECKED
CREW RESCUED AT SEA.
Lumber Schooner Turns Turtle and
Mate Saves Himself Picked Up
by Cruiser Minneapolis.
BOSTON, Oct. 15. (Special.) Rescued
after three days afloat on an angry sea.
with no better raft than he could fashion
by binding together two heavy planks with
his oilskins, which he had torn into strips,
picked up in the ocean by a United States
man-of-war. carried to Havana and final
ly brought to Boston, is the story that
James Ohlson. of Brooklyn, mate of the
lumber schooner Twilight, which turned
turtle in the storm of September 17, told
this evening as he was waiting to be
sent to the United States Marine Hospital
at Chelsea.
The cruiser Minneapolis, while on her
way to Havana, picked Ohlson up. He
was on the point of exhaustion, and could
have kept afloat but a short time longer,
when the searchlights of the cruiser re
vealed him. The Twilight left Charles"
ton. S. C September 10. with a deckload
of lumber for Philadelphia. On the morn
ing of September 17 she was struck by
the hurricane.
"We had been out of Charleston seven
days when the storm struck us.- said
Ohlson. "I climbed onto a piece of wreck
age and dove under some more of IP to
prevent getting crushed. The sea. was
running high. I managed to swim out of
danger and got hold of two planks, which
I tied together. I saw no sign of a res
cuer Monday or Monday night. Tuesday I
saw a schooner, but could not attract her
attention. That afternoon I saw what I
thought was a tramp steamer, but she
passed without seeing me.
"All that time I had been without food
or water, and was suffering from the
bruises on my body as well. On Wednes
day I saw another schooner, but she
passed by without seeing me. Wednesday
night I saw a searchlight of a vessei.
Some one heard me yell and the engines
were stopped and the Minneapolis lowered,
a boat and saved me."
