A Onban IiMdsr Who ; aumndared to the 8nnUidi TJndsr Promts : of - Amnesty. - ";' ' . By Cable to the Morning Star. - Havana, November 25. Antonio Lopes Coloma, who was at the head of the revolutionists in the proviace of Mataozu when the present insurrection in Cuba broke but, has been condemned to death for the crimes of rebellion and homicide. He is to be ex seated to morrow in the Cabanas for treason. Coloma. who headed the insurgents in the Matanzas province, where the in surrection was suppressed after about six weeks' fighting through the activity of the Spanish authorities, surrendered together with many other of the rebels upon the strength of a proclamation of amnesty made by Captain General Callaja. In tbe cases of nearly all the others who gave themselves np tbe Captain . General's promise was made good, and they were set at liberty. Coloma. however, in spite of the promite ot amnesty made to him, was not re-, leased, he being looked - upon as one cf the leaders and organizers of the rebel lion. Instead, he was sent to Morro Castle, where he has been confined for over a year and a half, awaiting the de cision in his case. The authorities until recently made no attempt to inflict upon him any more severe punishment than imprisonment.

A freight , train ; on the Pennsylvania Railroad, east-bound, was.neanng this place this morning when the axle broke and wrecked the rear end of the train. The Southern Express, carrying passen ger from Atlanta. Washington and Bal more, was close behind, on another track, running at a high rate of speed. Before it could be flieeed, it ran into tbe wreckage of the train which had soead over its track. The engine, mail car, two baggage cars and four sleepers were derailed. . . The passengers, though considerably shaken up, escaped witn a lew oruises. The train crew, however, were not so fortunate. Joseph Meegan, 49 years of ape. of Jersey Citv. engineer of tbe bx oress. and bis fireman. H. W. Chiches ter, also of Jersey City, were pinned u a- der their fallen engine and slowly scald ed to death in fad view of the passen gers and traiamen gathered about, who were oowerless to aid. them. The bag gage master was badly hurt in the wreck, but it is thought he will recover. The trains were stalled for hours. Wrecking crews were soon on the scene and after four hours' work succeeded in partially raising the blockade by opening one track. -, - , -The wreck occurred at Millstone Juno tion. two miles from here, at 5.09 this morninar. . ...... ' The injured man is E. S. Lambert, Express messenger, who has. two ribs broken'and was injured about the jaw and body- He may recover. Meegan, the engineer, must have seen tbe wreck In front of him just before the crash came. Tbe passengers remember near ing a sudden stacking up of the tram and thev noticed the application of the air-brakes. In another moment came an awful crash. The first four cars were telescooed and crashed down a n teen' foot embankment at the right, Tbe fitst car was a mail car. containing the e'erks, who were unhurt- Next came the ; Adams Express' car and then heavy Pullman c jacta, containing ten nasienoera. The filth car. whica was also a Pullman, went off the track, but it did not go down the embankment. Tbe next .three Pullman cars kept tbe track. : -; :-C- The passengers who were in the tele scooed Pullman were asleep in their berths at the time, with two exceptions, Thev wer thrown out of their beds violently and awoke to find themselves hemmed in. The lights had gone out andeas'waa escaping, adding to their horror. They heard the cries- ot the frightened and injured, and when they found egress, cut off at the front and rear doors thev broke through the win dows and crawled out to the ground. When the attention of the passengers in tbe rear cars was directed to the en gineer and fireman of the passenger en gine they found that they could not get near the engineer, who was buried in a heap of debris. Steam escaped ia clouds from the engine, and it was apparent at once that whoever were in the wreck were dead. - -.-."'"":'-.i"."'.r- GOLD CERTIFiCATES. A m-w Xtase.Frop9sed by Tesurr Dt- ' ' putmant OfSoiala. Br Telegraph to the Homing Star. Washington, November 25. Assist ant Secretary Curtis has been in New York two days but will be at his desk again Friday. No information is ob tainable at the Department as to the cause for his visit to New York, but it is hlifviri in hfi in connection with the proposed renewal of the issuance of gold certificates. It was generally un derstood at the Department that upon the return of the Assistant Secretary, Secretary Carlisle would issue an order permitting the resumption of this prac tice, he having authority under the act of July 13, 1883. to stop the issue of gold certificates whenever the reserve fell be low the one hundred million mark. The cessation of this issue has happened fre quently daring the past four years, but it it now believed that the ordinary course of business will not interfere with a practice that has been found con venient for the banking institutions of the country, and particularly for those in the large cities. There has been no stable gold balance since, 1898. When - Secretary Carlisle took hold of the Treasury in March, 1893,: there were tl 16.000,000 of gold certificates outstanding, but they have been, entirely withdrawn.. When the first suspension of the issue of gold cer tificates occurred there were $114,000. 000 outstanding. : This happened in April, 1893. After the sale of bonds tbe gold reserve was recouped, but only temporarily. .- Oa two different occa sions the issue of gold certificates was resumed, bat it stopped at both times within two or three days after the order was made permitting them. Then the Secretary decided not to again direct their issue until the balance was stable and devoid of the fluctuations that had marked it through a period ot many months. - - - . . . . . To-day the outstanding gold certlfi cates aggregate only. $39,688,189. : The issue proposed consists of denomina tioas of t5.000 and $10,000, and will be issued to such persons as deposit the gold in the Treasury noon which they are ' issued. These issues are largely by banks as a part of their reserve fundsand enable them to carry a large amount oTthe equivalent of gold with out the bu tbe article itself aod without the bdant losses by abra- sion, etc. TOBACCO 'WERS.

The National Tobacco Growers' Con vention that will be held in Ocala, Fla.; January 12tb, gives promise of being one of the most important gatherings ever held In Florida. Secretary D. S. Wil liams, of the Ocala Board of Trade, re ceived a letter on Saturday from the Governor of Indiana stating that he had appointed eleven delegates from that State, all of whem have signified a de termination to attend. The Governor of every State in tbe Union will appoint, if he has not already done so, similar delegate, and representatives from every tobacco growing State in the Union will be present. Mr. Williams is daily in receipt of letters from tobacco men from all parts of the country who rill attend whether they are delegates. or not. The .convention is being thoroughly advertised In all the tobacco journals, and is arousing a far greater Interest than was anticipated by tbe most sanguine. It now looks as if there would be at least five hundred delegates and visitors present from outside the State. In addition to this every county in Florida will send delegate.

Two Important Engagements with Ha eeo'a Troops la Which the Span- . lards Were Defeated With , ' Heavy Zioas fh Killed . '. . and Wounded. -: By Telegraph to the Morning Star, - New York, . Nov. 25. The Ward Line steamship City of Washington, which ' arrived to-day from Havana, brought some interesting news' of the engagement which occurred recently near Mount Rubia, betweea the Span ish troops and the insurgent forces, headed bv Gen. Maceo. " l-isi Saturday toe ugveroment organ. La Lucha, called for trains to convey 1000 wounded and sick soldiers from Candelabria to Havana. This was the first intimation that had bees received that tbe engagement bad been serious in its results. ;---";., V.Y--" -..' - One of the passengers oh the Cty of Washington, who nor obvious reasons did not wish to have his same men tioned, gave an interesting; account of how the battle was fought, and this to a ereat extent, it is thought, explains why Gen. Weyler returned to Havana so soon. ::-v-' .- Mount Rubia is twenty-six miles west of Havana, and about twelve miles from tbe northern coast of the island. - Gen Weyler had spread his trocha across the Island in its narrowest part - to pre vent Maceo's i forces moving toward the east. Them the remaining loicet were divided, into three detachments; one of 5.000 men, another of 10,000 and tbe third ot 20,000, the latter being led by Gen. Weyler himself. These detach ments moved towards the mountains from different directions. The detach ment of 6 000 reached the mountain first, and .after heavy fighting was re pulsed by Maceo's forces, with 700 wounded and it is not known how many dead. . When tbe second detachment of 10,000 men under command of Gen. Ecbague arrived, and began to storm tha mountain, they found that the enemy had disappeared. Gen. Weyler, who approached from the trocha, did not have a chance to smell powder. : - Details are lackiner, but it appears that Maceo had another engagement west of Mount Rubia. in which 1,000 of the Spanish troops were injured. Five hun dred of the wounded were brought into Havana by rait and 200 were brought by water, leaving 1,000 sick and wounded still on the field. Weyler's failure to lo cate Maceo would appear to have been tno cause of his hasty return to Havana. Madrid, November 25.

The Premier tu I ca edthe Idea that weyler would bemoe ieded as Captain General of Cuba ' eca.se ot his return to Ha vana and dec ared that the Captain Gen eral's in iig.ive should be : respected. Weyler. ha said, had advanced opera' tions in the island for : the purpose of allaying . ' the impatience manuested by tbe . public and despite the disadvantages under , which he ; had labored had driven the insurgents out of their fastnesses. -Far from the plan of the Captain G;nersl s campaign hav ing proved a failure, it was a f ct that when he arrived in Havana to succeed Captain General Campos tbe insur gents in Cuba -were a numerous body; whereas, from the time of bis assuming command, there had been only a fe scattered bands of the rebels, which had been constantly pursued and harassed by the Spanish cavalry. Senor Canovas further stated that he bad not approached General Azcarraga Minister of War, upon the question of succeeding General Weyler, as such a course would imply a lack of confidence on the part of the Government in the Captain General. 1 Pittsburg.

A NEW AGREEMENT JSegnlatlng the Issue of Passes Adopted by the Weatern Passenger AtaoeUtlon. . Bv Telegraph to the Morning Stat. . Chicago. .November xa. 1 he new agreement regulating the issue of passes during 1897, which was adopted by tbe Western Passenger Association at its recent meeting in St. Louis, makes a more radical change in tbe present agreement than it was believed at the time of the meetinz. The details were made the subject of a circular to-day for general railroad information. Next year only the general manager. president and general superintendent of a railroad will have tbe power to obtain passes for employes or alleged employes of other lines. ' This curtailment of the officials whose applications for passes will be honored is expected to result In a reduction of tbe number Issued by 60 per cent. The traffic department, including tbe general treight agent, is barred from exercising a privilege now enjoyed and the Influential shipper -is expected to pay his way in future, at it is not believed the freight traffic officials will confess to their superiors by asking for passes for shippers that they get their business by such methods.

It is understood that evidence was adduced to show that sixty-one of' her compartments leaked when her engine room was flooded, and that a leak sprung in any one of them at sea would b-ave surely caused the total loss of the ship. Not only were all the alleged water uzhi ' doors found to be abortive, but in the opinion of at-least one member of the conrt, "her whole bulkhead system is utterly useless.' WAR WITH SPAIN.

But the statement is only worth notice here in illustration of . the state of the literary market at the time. Southey ac knowledges his gratitude for the guinea a week which he received as Stuart's "laureate." . ' Poetry, by the way, appears to have been more in demand then than at the present day. Both.

If people could only be made to realize that, even though the thermometer does sometimes run-far below zero, the east wind and - its penetrating obiU are not present; if "city folks'.' could, only 'appreciate bow easy it is to learn to walk on snowsboea, and what invigorating exercise it is; if they, would stop - to consider how many clearer days there are in win ter than in summer, they would per haps be more willing to forego some of their' numerous ; social engage ments' and breathe the pure air of the mountains for a week or two in January and February.

" Willi Baby Took Part la V Comodv - Errora In tha Car. ' Queer as it seemed, no one laugh ed. . The young man beld tbe baby as though he had been carrying 4-week -old infants all hia life. He was a "transfer" from a North State street car waiting with other "transfers" for p Lincoln avenue ca ble going north." No woman was with him, and he stood on the cor ner, the little one snugly cuddled in his arm, its head ' on his shoulder and the long baby skirts tucked well out of the: way. Every woman ; in the crowd commented favorably up on the young man's "skill and apti tude, and the men eyed him with secret envy and 'deep respect. , ) The Lincoln avenue oar, as usual, was crowded, but a baby in arms al ways has tbe right of 'way, and the young man fonnd u seat. Before North avenue was reached the crowd thinned out, and the passenger who occupied the corner seat next to the young man left the oar. In a jiffy the little, red faoed baby was plant ed in tbe corner and in some myste rious manner was securely suppo; ed : by the end of the car andthe back of the seat. The women smiled and the men grinned when the young man, leaving the baby tucked' away in the corner, stepped out oh the front platform, wiped the perspira tion from his brow and lighted a cigar. Every block or so he opened the door, stuck his head inside and satisfied himself that the little one was safe. A young woman, accom panied by an elderly matron, -gat near the baby, and whenever tbe car lurched -she stretobed out her hand and held the baby in its corner. Just "before the oar reached the curve at Center and North Clark streets she moved up to the baby and held it when the car shot around the bend. At tbe corner of Sedgwick street and Lincoln avenue a woman of de termined mien and firm lips, 60 years old or thereabout, entered the car. The only vacant seat was between the young woman and her elderly companion. Tbe young wom an, - however, - moved away from the baby, leaving that spaoe for the newcomer. The latter glanced at the lonesome baby and then at the young woman with "a ludicrous ex pression of surprise, and, rather be wildered, hesitated to take the profr fered seat. Wiien she did take it, she sat bolt upright on the edge of the seat, looking first at the baby and then at the young woman, who apparently - was serenely 1 uncon scious of the suspicious scrutiny. The very next corner the . young woman signaled tbe conductor. The car stopped and she rose. v "Without so much as noticing the, baby she walked toward the rear platform. The woman next to the baby gasp ed. She stretched out her hand im pulsively, turned full upon the baby, and the passengers held their breath. She gasped again, leaned forward, and then, suddenly rising, called out sharply : " ' 'Here, : here. Where are you going? Comeback and get your baby. What under the sun" " Then the passengers broke in with a shout, the frorit door opened and the young man appeared. The young woman, her face crimson, hurried through the rear door; the excited female next to the baby stood in the aisle with her eyes snapping and her mouth 1 open. The young man, pick ing up the baby, sat down and cud dled the little one in his arms, bliss fully unconscious that next to him was a woman mad clear through, scorching the grinning passengers with 50 glances that had the pene trating power of Professor Boent- gen's rays.

Chesterfield. : The papillae on the tips of a lady's fingers are three-millionths of an inch smaller than those on the fin gers of a man. Gladness Gomes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in (be knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, -which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. - That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs en which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that -you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Calk fornia Fig Syrup Ca only and sold by all reputable druggists. , . If In the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or Other remedies are. then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, ene should have the best, and with, the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and ia most largely - used and gives most general satisfaction. - Hia Ideas. nr Pavmnnrl Rchnmacher. one of the witnesses called at the Pretoria trial. apparently botbered tne stare artarney .wt aa mnnh as Mr. Samuel Weller bothered Mr. Serjeant Buzfua.
