While a passenger train was stationary at the terminus, a heavy freight train ran into it, owing to the error of a pointsman. Eleven persona were killed and 32 others were seriously injured. The receipts of the customs so far this fiscal year undoubtedly will fall considerably short of estimates made by the managers of the new tariff bill during its pendency in congress. At that time it was estimated that the enstnma wnnH yield about JISO.OOO, 000 during the first year. The indica tions are now said to be that the re ceipts from this source will not aggre gate more than $165,000,000. A plate of armor, representing a lot of 600 tons for the turrets of the battle- j ships Kearsarge and Kentucky, was : tested at the Indian Head proving ' grounds' Tuesday.

The secretary ! of the treasury today -decided that the Netherlands government pays bounty on raw and refined sugars exported from that enuntry, And hence, under j the new tariff act, all-sugars from the ! Netherlands entering the United . States are subject to a di.-ci iminatiiig duty equal to the exmrt bounty paid. ; The exact rate of this countervailing duty has not yet been definitely av-'er-'; tained, but it is said that it will ap proximate 48 cents ;-.er 100 pounds on i raw sugar and a slight advance on ; those figures on refined. It is known that the secretary has, also come to the conclusion that the Belgian government pays an export '. bounty on sugar, and a decree to this . effect may be expected in a short time. The additional duties will apply from September 22 last. The amount of raw migar imported ' from the Netherlands during the last year was over S8. 000,000 pounds, of. nliikli a'ooui o.uuu.uuo was not alove No. 16 Dutch standard.

A Herald dis patch from Havana says: A report that General Pundo, who Was placed in charge of military operations in Cuba by General Blanco, has' been killed in an engagement with insurgents in Santa Clara province., has just reached Havana. This has caused the utmost excitement in palace and social circles, and every effort is be'uig made to get news from General' Pando's force to verify the startling news. v iNo details of the killing of the com; mander have been received, but the statement is that he was shot in a bat tle with insurgents while on the march from Sagua la Grande to the southern coast of Santa Clara, where he was to take a ship for Manzanillo. Officers at the palace declare that the story must lie 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's death comes news of a battle near Matanzas 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 do not fa vor grinding, because they' hold the zones of cultivation and grow tobacco with cheap 'labor, which they would lose if.tiie reconieiitrajos return to work on the estates. ! A letter received by a local paper from a correspondent in the East gives news of big fighting last week near Bayamo between the rebel Chief Kabi and General Linares. General Kabi had only 500 men when General Lin ares had two columns. No 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 the hills of Pinnr del Kio. They must re main there or .come out uud fight, a thing the Spanish commanders think, they are not likely to do. Small bands are still moving about with great can tion.' Reports of the condition and move ments of rebels in the east are most conflicting. It is said that Gomez is coming west with 40,000 men, but it is also saiil that Gomez is still at the camp where he has been for the last 10 months, and is being attended by Dr. Cum lea, staff surgeon. rhe Strujrele for SuprpinaVy in Asia . la WhiIiir Warm.. .

Since April last more than 4.000 have died in the' city alone, to say nothing of the suburban, towns, which are like wise affected.

The war in pas senger rates between Chioago, Milwau kee and St. Paul is -likely to continue, and railroad men look for. the liveliest kind of cutting jn, rates further west, owing to the big rush to the Klondike.

The nominal rate is $49.70 second-class on the St. Paul road and $59.70 first-class. - With f 7' from Chicago to !t.
