GENERAL GARCIA IS EN ROUTE TO CUBA.
The Veteran Leader Will
Command an Army
of Patriots.
EVADES THE SPANIARDS.
He Leaves for the Island at
the Head of a Formidable
Expedition.
ARMS, AMMUNITION AND MEN.
An Invaluable Addition to the Re
sources of the Struggling
Insurgents.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 26.-A
tnorning paper says to-day: General Cal
ixto Garcia, the most distinguished Cuban
general now outside of Cuba, has escaped
the watchful eyes of Spanish agents and
Bailed from this port last Thursday, it is
said, on the fruit steamer Bernard, bound
for Cuba.
General Garcia goes to Cuba at the head
of the most formidable expedition that has
ever left this country, of which he will
take command on the high seas, where he
■will meet another fruit steamer, the Jasof,
with over 300 men on board and a large
quantity of arms and ammunition.
From those familiar with General Gar
cia's plans it was learned that the expedi
tion will make for some port near the
boundary line of the province of Pinar del
Rio and the province of Havana. General
Gomez is thoroughly informed of all the
plans for the expedition, and at the point
agreed upon for the landing of the expedi
tion he will have a strong body of troops.
Owing to his great popularity in that
district, it is expected that General Garcia
will at once place himself at the head of
a strong body of men in the province of
Pina del Rio.
Among Cubans in this country great
hope is placed in this expedition. One of
the drawbacks of the Cuban cause has
been the lack of commanders who com
bine both bravery and military sagacity.
Should any misfortune befall either Gen
eral Maximo Gomez or Generals Jose or
Antonio Maceo, the Cubans' cause would,
be in a rather embarrassing position.
General Garcia, however, is fully com
petent to take any of the generals' places
at a moment's notice, and when news of j
the successful landing of his expedition I
reaches this country, there will be rejoic- |
ing among the Cubans.
CAPTURE A TRAIX.
Rebels Destroy the Coaches After Alloxe-
ing the Passengers to Depart.
HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 26.— insur
gents, despite the Government assertions
to the contrary, appear to be doing just
about as they please in the neighborhood
of Havana.
This afternoon a band of rebels stopped
a train that was running between Guanajay
and this city. They ordered the passen
gers, who were in a state bordering on
panic, to leave the train, which order was
obeyed with alacrity.
The passengers feared they would be
maltreated by the insurgents, but their
fears were groundless, as the rebel leader
courteously informed them that they
would not be harmed, nor would their per
sonal effects be molested. They would,
however, have to pursue their journey on
foot, as it was their intention to destroy
the train.
The commander then gave orders for the
torch to be applied to the cars, and soon
nothing was left except the iron work. The
train was captured about a mile from San
Antonio, to which place the passengers
walked and informed the authorities of
what had occurred.
Troops were immediately dispatched to
the scene, but when they arrived the
rebels had disappeared. The train did not
have one of the armored cars which are
used. on the railroads for the conveyance
of troops to guard the passengers and the
railway company's property.
A car for this purpose is being built on
the Havana and Guanajay line and as
6oon as it is finished, which will be
shortly, it will be placed in service. Pass
engers on the line will then be able to
travel in security, unless the insurgents
take to removing rails, loosening fish
plates or adopting some other method to
wreck the trains.
It is, however, not believed that they
■Kill do this, as their efforts are not directed
toward harming passengers on the rail
wrys. but to destroying railroad property
when it can be done without risk to pas
sengers.

MINOR ENGAGEMENTS.
i
General Munoz Encounters the Rands of
Rabi and Rios.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 26.—Min
ister Dupuy de Lome to-day received tele
grams from Havana giving . accounts of
several engagements between the Spanish
troops and insureents, all but one of which
are of minor importance. In that case
General Gonzales Munoz encountered the
bands of Francisco Rabi and Rios in the
Mula Pass and succeeded in putting them
to flight. The casualties were not given.
It is explained that the importance and
significance of this encounter lies in the
fact tnat whereas Rabi and Rios were re
ported to be approaching Havana to re
enforce Gomez, they were encountered by
Munoz in the most easterly portion of the
island, several hundred miles distant from
Havana. .

POISON IN HIS COFFEE.
Attempt of a Woman to End Her Husband's
Life Foiled by a Servant
Girl.
ERIE, Pa., Jan. 26.— A sensation oc-
c urred this afternoon at Girard.this county,
when Mary H. Nellis was arrested for
I poisoning with intent to kill her husband,
Peter 11. Nellis, proprietor of the Nellis
; House, and Edward Gardner was arrested
as an accomplice. The prisoners were
brought here to-night and lodged in jail.
Nellis is wealthy and his wife is a hand-
some woman. Last summer Mrs. Nellis
spent some time at Lilydale and brought
home with her for a bartender Edward
Gardner, whom she had met at the spirit
ualistic resort. Nellis carried a $10,000
policy on his life in favor of his wife. Sev
eral weeks ago he was taken sick. He has
since been in declining health, and his
brother-in-law, Dr. Rogers, of Connaught,
Ohio, became suspicious and set Maggie
Hulbrook, a dining-room girl, to keep
watch on events in the hotel.
Saturday at noon Nellis got a dose of
j tartar emetic in his coffee. Saturday
night tne girl caught and saved another
i dose which Nellis was to have taken.
j Nellis got another dose to-day, but was re
j lieved with a stomach-pump. The arrests
i followed and created great excitement.
1 The feeling was so strong in Girard against
j Gardner that only his timely removal by
! the officers saved him from probable
j lynching. 7Y: -

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 26.— A special
from Ures, Mex., says: The Yaa_ui Indians
have made another raid upon the settlers
in the valley west of here. On one ranch
an entire fami'y, consisting of husband
and wife and two children, was massacred,
and at another place in the same locality
the Indians killed two cowboys who at-
tempted to prevent the reds driving off a

TO TAX CHURCH PROPERTY.
A Halt That Aft Roman Catholics "will
Watch With Interest.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 26.— A legal
fight which, will attract the attention of
Roman Catholics the world over will be
instituted this week. Attorneys Stephens,
Lincoln and Smith, who represent this
diocese, have been notified to appear be
fore the County Auditor to hear an appli
cation, made upon behalf of some person
whose identity is not at present estab
lished, for the placing on the tax duplicate
of all the property in this county owned
by the Roman Catholic Church and not
used as a place of worship. Auditor
Hagerty will refuse, as he did privately
some time ago, and a suit in mandamus
will be filed against him in the Supreme
Court. ■••'Tp-T'P/-
The property in question is valued at
$1,000,000, and an effort will be made to
bave it charged for the last six years on ah
increased valuation of $6,000,000. The con
tract for doing this work was signed late
Friday afternoon.
HUNTINGTON'S MEN BUSY
Southern Pacific Preparing to
Fight the Repealing Bill
in Kentucky.
The Measure Is Certain to Pass the
Senate, but May Run Aground
in the House.
FRANKFORT, Ky.. Jan. 26.— Senator
Goebel's bill repealing the charter of the
Southern Pacific Company has not yet
been returned in printed form, but will
probably be to-morrow, when it will be re
ferred to the Committee on Railroads, of
which Senator Goebel is himself a member.
The bill is likely to be advanced rapidly,
and may be put upon its passage in the
Senate early next week.
It is said the road will make a strong
fight to defeat the repealing measure, but
indications are that it will pass the Senate
easily. The difficulty it is most likely to
encounter is in being run aground in the
House on account of overshadowing politi
cal complications in that branch.
DIES IN A POORHOUSE.
Benjamin Folger, Once the Beau Brummel
of Memphis Society, Passes Away
in Poverty.
CHICAGO. 111., Jan. 26.— A special from
Memphis, Term., says: Benjamin Folger,
a nephew of the late Charles Folger, who
was Secretary of the Treasury under Ar
thur's administration, died in the poor
house here yesterday, aged 60 years.
Ben Folger, as he was familiarly known,
was at one time one of the most promi
nent bankers and financiers in the coun
try, but he took to speculating a few years
ago and his fortune speedily disappeared.
He went from bad to worse until he finally
landed in the poorhouse. Ten years or
more ago he was recoenized as he Beau
Brummel of Memphis society, and was the
king in all social affairs.
INVEST IN COFFEE LAND.
British Gold Sent Into the Isthmus of

BT. LOUIS, Mo., Jan 26.— A special
from the City of Mexico says : The repre

ists has just purchased 500,000 acres of
coffee land on the isthmus of Tehuantepec.
The tract will be planted in coffee trees.
American capitalists have invested several
hundred thousand dollars in the coffee

this morning.
Mr. Runyon had been in somewhat

feeble health for some time past, but no
immediate fatal results were anticipated.
No longer ago than last Tuesday evening
he was present at a dinner given in his
honor by ex-Empress Frederick, mother
of Emperor William.
Last summer Mr. Runyon had planned
to make an extended trip through Nor
way, but on the advice of his physician he
abandoned this trip and instead went to
Carlsbad, where he took ' the cure. He
subsequently went to Axenstein, Switzer
land, for the purpose of " taking -an after
cure. '7*;i7'7> ...■ ■ -..-.
Since that time, however, he has mani
fested great activity in the' discharge of
the duties of his olfice, which have been
more than ;. usually onerous on account of
the complications :in European ■ affairs,
which have more or less demanded the
attention and care of the diplomatic repre
sentatives of ail nations. v . 7
Embassador Runyon's death will- come
as a great shock to official- and social cir
cles here in Berlin, where he was a great
favorite. . . . -
The Hon. Theodore Runyon was born'
at Somerville, N. J., October 25, 1822. He
graduated from Yale Colege in 1842 and in
1844 was admitted to the ' bar. In 1853 he
was made city attorney and in 1856 city
counselor of Newark, N. J., a position '■ re
tained until 1864, when he became Mayor
of the city.
He was appointed in ,1856 a commis
sioner to revise and codify the militia laws
of New Jersey, and in 1857 was made brig
adier-general and subsequently major
general of the New Jersey National Guard.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he was
placed in command of the New Jersjy
brigade of volunteers. '» . "
In 1865 he was Democratic candidate for
Governor of his State,. but was not elected.
From ,1873 to 1887. he was Chancellor of
New Jersey. In March, 1503, he was ap
pointed by President Cleveland American
Minister to Germany, shortly 'after
ward was made Embassador. The degree
of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Yale,

EFFECTING ITS OWN RESCUE.
The Greyhound Draws Itself Seaward
by Means of Hawsers Attached
to Anchors.
LONG BRANCH, N. J., Jan. 26.—
thousand visitors from the numerous re
sorts north and south of this place, as well
as from New York, Philadelphia and the
larger New Jersey towns, flocked here to
day and repaired to the beach to watch
the efforts made to pull the steamer St.
Paul, the famous ocean greyhound, over
the bar -into deep water. The ship was
moved 170 feet seaward, but the flood tide
was not of sufficient duration to enable
the crews of the steamer and the wrecking
companies to haul her into water deep
enough to float her. There were fifty pow
erful tugs opposite the St. Paul ready to
render assistance, but they were not
utilized.
Six immense anchors were planted in
the sea about a thousand yards from the
stranded vessel. Fastened to the anchors
were several steel hawsers, which were
connected with the powerful capstan on
the -,' stern of the ship. This capstan was
rotated by steam power furnished by the
steamer's boilers and engines. Everything
was in readiness for the haul and soon
after midnight the engines were started.
The hawsers ' tightened, the capstan
creaked, and inch by inch the big ship
was pulled seaward. When the tide
turned to ', the ebb the boat had been
moved nearly one-third of her length and
placed in a more advantageous position,
as at low tide she was only six feet in the
sand and in eleven ! feet of water. The
strain on the hawsers. was kept up moder
ately during the day in order to keep the
ship from again moving toward the beach.
No attempt was made to float her while
the afternoon tide was at the flood.
Those in . charge predict that to-mor
row's high tides will be higher than that
of ; to-day, and- with favorable conditions
they, expect to complete the work begun
so auspiciously last night. The sea was
almost as- quiet to-day as the proverbial
mill | pond. This state of affairs caused
the life-saving crews to remove from the
ship the line thrown to her when strand
ed, which - was ' used ; , to run the breeches
buoy to and from the liner.
Messrs. Clement A. Griscom, senior and
junior, of Philadelphia, president .and
manager, respectively, of the Interna
tional ': Navigation Company; "William
Cramp, a member of the firm that built
the St. Paul; Marine Superintendent
Shockford and other high * officials of the
American line visited the unlucky ship
and spent hours in consultation with Cap
tain Jamison and his 'staff. 7 They gave
out no ] official ■■ statement for publication,
but the petty • officers strongly deny that
the St. Paul - was engaged iln a race with
the Campania prior to the accident. This
story is not generally believed, as Captain
James Mulligan of life station No. 4, who
was - the first ] to 7 board . the ship in the
breeches buoy on Saturday morning,
states that 'the first question • put to him
by "the passengers when he stepped foot on
the deck was, "Where ■is the Campania?"
' All the passengers of the ' St. Paul , were
taken to I New York in tugs late yesterday
afternoon, but the entire crew, numbering
400, including 7 many women, remain ■_ on
THE SAN JOSE LOCAL WRECKED NEAR BADEN
board, and have not come ashore since the
St. Paul struck. , ? .
* The steamer carried a cargo of fruits,
nuts, gold and general merchandise.
Early this morning the ligbter John Hag
gerty was floated to the shoreward side of
the vessel, and the crew of the latter, as
sisted by the wreckers, transferred hun
dreds of tons of tbe cargo from the steam
er's side to the lighter. The baggage and
perishable goods were first moved. These
were taken to New* York. The large
amount of the precious metal was not dis
turbed, but remains in a strong box on
board the steamer in charge of a^guard of
picked men. ; ' *
The officers of the St. Paul deny the re
port that the vessel was injured when she
struck. They say there is no water in her
hold and her plates are just as intact as
th« day she was launched. .
One of tne novel features of the day was
the rigging of a telephone on board the
boat to connect with the shore. The
shore end is connected with the local tele
phone system, and by this means the
ship* s officers are able to communicate
with their agents in the city.
The scene on Ocean avenue in front of
tho beached steamer resembled a county
fair; improvised lunch rooms, cigar stands
and traveling "speakeasies" furnished
food and drink to the multitude.
On the portico of one of the big summer
hotels, now closed, was a large sign read
ing: "Seats to Let," and the enterprising
man in charge reaped a harvest of shekels.
The local railroad from Asbury Park to
Long Branch carried thousands of passen
gers. Farmers from a distance of twenty
miles drove to the scene of the accident,
and mingled with the fashionably dressed
visitors from the city. ".>•';'
At 9 o'clock to-night Custom-house Of
ficer Patterson telephoned from the St.
Paul that a determined effort would be
made at 5 a. m. to-morrow to pull the ship
from her cradle in the sand. Mr. Patter
son said the attempt would doubtless be a
failure, unless a wind from the east was
blowing that would make the tide extra
high. |

to have her smokestacks enlarged.

followed by directions to put the vessel in
condition for sea at once. By keeping
large forces of men at work Saturday, and

Because he failed to understand or heed
I a danger signal Engineer Jack Keyer
of the Southern Pacific Company lost his
j life at 6 o'clock last evening and narrowly
j escaped sacrificing the lives of nearly one
| hundred passengers in the train under his
charge.
Train No. 19, which runs to San Jose and
way stations, left this City at 's:3o o'clock
on time and ran at its usual speed to Baden
station. Here a red lantern the signal of
danger — was swung in front of the speed
ing engine to warn the engineer that some
thing was wrong down the road, but
though the train slowed down to some
extent it did not do so sufficiently to avert
a disaster and ' the engineer's life went out
in the flood that filled the basins on each
side of the track.
The fireman and conductor of the train
were also badly hurt.
The terrific rains of yesterday afternoon
sent torrents of water down the little
valley that leads from Colma to Baden,
each canyon adding its volume to the
flood until the flume recently built by the
Supervisors of San Mateo County to pro
tect the county road was filled to over
flowing and the lowlands were covered
many feet deep. :
Below the pumping station at the Baden
artesian wells the flat that in the morning
had been merely a marsh, covered with an
inch or two or water, became a river six or
eight feet deep, rushing with terriffic force
toward the bay, carrying fences and
bulkheads away and driving the cattle to
the higher ground. The railroad at this
point is built on an embankment, which
crosses the marsh to South- San Francisco
station and divides the flat into two parts.
The culverts were totally inadequate to
carry away the water and it gradually in
creased in volume until it overflowed the
embankment and began undermining the
track. Once the water crossed the rails it
ate its way into the foundations and
carried mud, stone and even ties with the
••oaring torrent that rushed down the
north side of the embankment.
• The train from the south, which passes
South San . Francisco at 4:30 o'clock,
crossed the dangerous portion in safety,
but within an hour the roadbed was so in
secure that even a pedestrian could not
pass without picking his steps carefully
for fear of falling into the rushing waters
on either side. • V, -.-•". ■:;/.-
The employes at Baden and South San
Francisco knew nothing of the danger
until the train had plunged into, the water
and the roar of the escaping steam warned
them that something had occurred. Then
messengers and danger signals were sent
both ways to warn approaching trains of
the disaster. •
The scene on board the wrecked|local
was almost indescribable. Though the
train was not running at a high rate of

Most women do not understand their own
bodies, or the things that make them weU
or sick. The most frequent cause of sick-
ness in women is the cause last looked for.
A women will go to a doctor when she has
a severe cold, or some acute digestive dis-
turbance, but she hesitates and procrasti-
nates when the trouble is with the distinctly
feminine organism. And yet the latter is
infinitely more serious. It is the most seri-
ous sickness that any woman can have. It
is the most dreadful— the most dangerous.
Its consequences are always serious, and
serious right at the beginning because it is
debilitating. It saps the life and strength
and works on th-: nerves to such an extent
that the whole body is disturbed. Appetite
leaves, the color goes from the face and
hollows sink into the cheeks. Irritability
succeeds good temper and fretfulness takes
the place of contentment Little by little
life becomes . more and more miserable.
The woman is killing herself with neglect
just as surely as if she were taking deadly
poison. Perhaps her husband cannot per-
suade her to go to her doctor, because she
naturally dreads the inevitable examina-
tions and "local treatments." He can per-
suade her, if she needs persuasion, to take
