Pocatello, Idaho, May 23. A headend collision between a freight and a passenger train, at American Falls twenty-live tulles west of here, caused the deaths, so far as known, of nine men, and the serious inlury of eight others. It Is .the worst wreck that has occured on the Short Line in many years. The westbound passen ger was waiting for the freight at American Fulls, standing in front or the station building, when the freight coming cast, ran away on the hill west of American Falls. It is thought the air was tampered with. The freight, running fifty miles an hour, crashed into the passenger train, which was already backing up, right in front of the station. Two men were on the platform, one of whom was killed and the other fa tally Injured, and tho station build ing was shattered. Both engines were converted into scrap iron, and twenty of the freight cars were piled up in a heap. Eight box-car passengers, sheep shearers and tramps, were crushed to death. George Moore, en gineer of the freight, Is seriously in jured, sustaining a compound fracture. Fireman Dick Cosgrove, had a leg broken, and C. E. Ileckman, the en gineer of the passenger train sus tained slight injuries. lie stayed with his engine until he revcrsad it. Tito conductor and brakesman were on top of the freight setting tho brakes, and Fireman Cosgrove had climbed back to help when the crash came. The first warning or any danger was when Engineer Ileckman heard the freight whistle to back up. He at once reversed his engine, but tho rails were. wet and the grade heavy, and it was an instant or two before tho train responded, and in that moment the freight train thundered around the curve and across tho bridge, going at tho rate of CO miles an hour. The passenger train had hardly begun to move back before the frieght dashed into it. Both engines were demolished and the freight cars piled up ono on tho other, jamming in the side and do mollshlng one whole end of the sta tion building. for those who find it. ftiooo What is the missing word in the following sentence: Schillings Best tea is not only pure but it is because it is fresh-nr ted.

Cut this out. You won't see it again for two weeks. A Schilling & Company San Francisco Just as the engines met, Englucsr Ileckman jumped and came to the ground in the midst of Hying timbers and debris. John Cooper, Frank Burke and Night iTelcgranh Operator Charles Goodwin had been talking on the platform an instant before they saw the wild freight coming. Cooper -ran Into tho depot and was killed in stantly. Burke and Goodwin ran out behind tho building and escaped. Brennan, who was on the olatfurm at the same time, was burled in the wrc ck. The station bullUIng wu demol ished to the partition between the de pot and the private rooms were Aurnt St. Clair and his wife and llirn chll dren were asleep. The dead and 'mangled bodies of two of the killed were huik-d against this pailltlon. Beams were forced through It and over the bud occupied by the children, but miraculously not one of them- was Injured, although the room was twisted and shattered almost to fragments. The freight train had run away on the hill west of American Falls It is thought that some of the sheep shearers or hobos had cut olf the air. The airbrakes would not work, and on the hill tho train was found un manageable. Conductor Cook and Brakemcn Davis and Weston were on top setting the brakes, but they proved of no avail, The train shot down the grade and across the brlged into the passenger train.

A dispatch to the Journal from Havana via Key West says: The Congosto-Lee commission of Inquiry Into the Ruiz, case has so far accomplished nothing. When tho consul general, accompanied by Com missioneis Calhoun and Secretary Fishback, went over to Guanabacoa, thejvfotind everything had been cut 1 and dried by Commissioner Congosto and Ills Spanish coadjutors there. The prisoners, political and criuinal, the jail where llul. met his death, who are usually kept In close confine ment, woro walking about tho yard, promptly lined up, anxious, appar ently, to cat 11 tho pardons reported to have been promised them to per jure themselves In Spain's favor if called to the witness stand by any member of the commission. Congosto wished to pass lightly over tho original and principle points raised by the Americans to the effect that whatever might be the manner In which Ruiz met. his death, Ills end came while illegally and 9ecretly held incommunicado in a military prison beyond the limit specified by the treaty, and therefore In violation of the same, and mako the secondary question, that of his illegal assasslna. tlon, the whole issue. Supported by Cal houn, Lee opposed this, the discussion with Congosto and his counsel becom ing quite heated before the meeting was closed. After returning to Havana, Leo and Calnoun sent a note to Congosto, de manding that the original evidence taken by civil as well as military au thorities In the Ruiz case, including the written declarations of witnesses called in such preliminary proceed ings, be supplied to Secretary lilsh back for translation into English for examination by the consul and coun sel before the next meeting of tho commission. Congosto replied that all these original documents had gono to Madrid sometime ago, Since this rcsponso came, however, by mutual agreement certified copies have been accepted at)d are under examination. But these aro nothing but the assur ance of Judge Vldal and other Span ish court officials to show that these papers supplied aro genuine and ver batim extracts from the records, for the Americans have been offered no opportunity to personally examine tho archives. It is believed, in view of all this, that Lee and Calhoun will not ask to have any other witnesses summoned or put any cross-questions to others that Congosto may call, tho docu mentary evidence on hand being re garded as quite sufficient after ex ceptions be noted, to Justify the Amer ican contention as to violation of the treaty, and warrants Leo'3 original assertion that the prisoner died from harsh treatment whilo illegally incom municado. Calhoun will linger here until Thursday of next week and return per direct New York steamer. Havana's now governor, the Mar quis de Palmerola, Is determined that no harm shall come to McKlnley's commissioner. As u precaution, Po lice Inspector Escanla, and a half dozen secrutsorvlcc men in citizens' clothes, dog Calhoun's footsteps all day long and watch his hotel at night. People seen talking with him arc like wise spotted. Their names obtained and the gist of their conversation, if these government spies be able to catch it, reiki r ted at once to tho pal ace. Many members of this detective force understand English and they appear specially alert when any Cu ban resident or American newspaper correspondent is seen to approach Calhoun. MAY ANNIHILATE AMEHIOA. Havana, May 18. El Diarlo do la I Marina In a leading editorial says: 'We sec In the American newspapers evidence that there arc certain social classes in the United States notsulll clently allvo to the lmportanco of the advice, Don't monkey with the lion's tall. These clashes are remarkable for the eagerness with which they evade jurisdiction in affairs, which, like the Cuban war, are exclusively the affairs of Spain. The persistence with which they recognize tho belli- nerency of tho insurgents Is crazy and ridiculous. The Important conserva tive Intlrcsts of tho United States should not forget that the pattenco of Spain may soon became exhausted. The Spanish government has given abundant proofs of Its good will by ignoring the many inconveniences that have been caused by resolutions in congress. Those interests ought to bo thankful to us tor our ubnc gatlon "But In case .tho sword should bo unsheathed, Spain would certainly not bo the heaviest loser In tho tight. Spain has sent 200,000 troops to Cuba to settle a domestic dlUlculty. What would she not do in the event of a foreign war, with the nation which for a century has abused our patience by Ignoring Spanish honor and chivalry? President McKInloy should consider this carefully, and If lie Is to deal with usascnemlcalot him take the advice of an enemy and no longer trifle with us." ALLEGED VICTORY. Havana, May 28, It is officially announced that the Spanish forces under General Godoy and Colonel Struch, acting in conjunction with the gunboat Armcndurlz, has inllctcd severe loss upon tho river Gayagulcje, Puerto Principe, Plnar del Rio.

Tho insurgpnts lost 77 killed, and aro reported to havo carried away tho bodies of many, Tho Spanish forces, it appears, lost flvo men killed and had 27 wounded.

Havcnieycr. president of Mio American Sugar Re fining Company, for contumacy beforo the senate sugar Investigating com mittee, was greatly Intensified by the pending motion of defense to Instruct the Jury to bring In a verdict of not guilty, It was understood, of course, that If the court should order ucqult tal the case would come to an abrupt close, and tlu indictments against John E. Searlcs, secretary of the sugar refining company, und Edwards and Schrlcver would bo quashed. When tho court opened, Dis trict Attorney Davis entered upon his reply to the motion of the defense to ordci an acquittal, which Have meycr's counsel argued. Davis took up the six propositions, upon which tho defense based tho motion and met them seriatim, although not In tke order laid down by tho defense. Johnson replied at some length to the arguments of Davis, after which the court announced a recess until 1 o'clock, during which Interval ho was to take tho motion of tho defendent's counsel under advisement. Upon reconvening the court sus tained tho motion of tho attorney for the defense. Tho jury, in accordanco with tho Instructions of the court, re turned u verdict of not guilty. District Attornoy Davis said tho verdict would not effect thocasoof John E. Searlcs, secretary of tho Sugar Roilnlng Company, whoso trial will be proceeded with. Davis said that Searlcs directly refused to ans wer questions, and his caso was In no way parallel with that of Hayomoyor. Ilavcmeyer said: "Tho yerdict is satisfactory to mo and to oycry de cent man in tuo community." The Blind School. Tho stato institute for tho blind Is nearlng the closo of tho year's work.
