' A GALLANT ENGINEER. rasseogers on the Seattle, T.ake Shore & Eatttern Saved. Seattle, June 8. As passenger train No. 2 on' the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern road, south-bound, was round ing a curve ten miles north of McMur- ray yesterday afternoon, the flange on one of the engine wheels broke and the engine turned a somersault down a three-foot embankment, carrying the tender and baggage car with it and dragging both ooaches from the rails, but not from the track. The train waE running twenty-five miles an hour, but the engineer, Qeorge Gabriel, stuck to hia post, put on the airbrake and saved the twenty-five passengers. His cour age came near oosting him his life, for he was buried in the overturned cab whioh was at once filled with scalding steam, fortunately one ol the big driving wheels of the engine broke into the tender tank ana released the water, which flowed completely over the en gineer's body till he was released by Conduotor MoCaffey and Brakeman Wilson. It was found that he had been struck a severe blow on the right thigh, which will lay him up for a couple of weeks, and may result in ser ious complications. Six months ago the same heroio man, sitting in the same engine cab, saved a Lake Shore train in the same manner, paying the penalty of a broken leg, from which he had but just recovered. THE MOSCOW CRUSH. - The PrefVcV I'ollce Responsible foi . Moscow, Jui'e 8. Eye witnesses of the terrible crush on the Hodynsky plain Saturday agree that M. Vlassov sky, prefeot of police, is chiefly to blame for the disaster. He hufily re fused military offers of troops to con trol the orowd, declaring that he knew his own business and that) there was no need of any further fear of aooident. Popular feeling against Vlassovsky is intense, and his name has become a ourse among the populace, who, armed with bottles and stones, would have lynched him the same day upon his ar rival at the plain if he had not had his route lined with troops and himself 6trongly escorted. It appears that during the orush a number of Cossacks, finding themselves surrounded, freely used their whips on the crowd in order to force their way out. Three were torn from their sad dles and were killed and this led to the flight of the others. A number of peas ants were drowned in the vats of beer provided for the feast, in which they plunged in order to scoure the liquor. THEY FISH IN PEACE.

The Spanish news papers teem with articles on the loyal ty of Spaniards in the republics of Mexico, Uruguay and Argentina. But that ia too well known to require ex tended notioe. Spaniards of Argentina and Uruguay have enrolled aa volun teers in Cuba, and today over 8,000 of them are serving in this island to main tain Spanish rule and Spanish suprem acy. Spaniards in the United States and all Spanish-America have initiated a naval fund, the subscriptions extend ing Jo ver three years. The latest evidenoe of loyalty of the Spaniards in Spanish -Amerioa has taken a new form. What is deemed to be a strong anti-American feeling has been developed by the press in the mother oountry, aa well aa in Spanish Amerioa. It has led to the calling to gether of Spanish merchants in the re publics of Mexico, Uruguay and the Argentine Republic They have pro tested against what they regard as the unfriendly utterances of the Amerioan poeple, and have unanimously decided to discontinue further purohases In the United States. The movement waa be gun in South Amerioa quite reoently. The Spanish merchants of Mexico City and Vera Cruz have decided on similar action. Exports to these three republics have been considerable. The following are the latest figures obtainable. They are from United States sources, the report of the bureau of statistics, treasury de partment, Washington,. 1896: To Mexico In 1892, $14,293,999; in 1893, $19,569,634; in 1894, $12,842, 149.

Dunn, of this city, has returned from the Alaskan gold fields with anything but a flattering report of the outlook for the hundreds of prospectors scatter ed through the Bnowy wastes of that territory. Dr. Dunn declarea that the truth has not been told concerning the gold fields. He left Oakland in Febru ary last with the Walker-Pennock expedition. He has returned very much disgusted and satisfied that gold mining in Alaska is an elusive dream. "There are probably not less than 1,200 men scattered about Ressurreo tion and Six-Mile oreeks," said the doctor, "and olaims have been taker up everywhere. Why, some of them are staked out on 50-foot snowbanks and no one knows what ia beneath them. Mining and prospecting ia im possible, and it will be six weeks yet before the snow will have left the ground. So far as the outlook for gold is concerned, it ia difficult to tell. A prospector can find color anywhere along the oreeks, but it is very hard, in most cases impossible, to save the gold. The experiments with gold machines have proved failures. . "The mining oountry is located along the creeks. Both Ressurreotion and Six-Mile oreeks have many tributaries and upon these prospectors have locat ed. The outlook is decidedly bad. At Coal bay there are about twenty-five men, and they are waiting the melting of the snow to go to work. Some color has already been found there, but the next point is to save the gold." Dr. Dunn stated the health of those at the looation he visited was good. The general situation waa very disoouragiikV he believes, because of the hundreds at the gold fields who were idle and un able to accomplish anything because of the snow. Under his calculation, the season for aotual work on olaims will not be longer than four months. Trolley Car Ban Away. New York, June 9.
