' ' Journal Br he ait, ). v ' Washinoton, D.V., Deo. SJ8. J , "If Spain doew't wish to aee a more - indical . cbaDge of sentiment . la th ' . United States in favor of Cuba than thai which has recently taken place in favoi of a conservative course in dealing with ' . the Cuban question," said a high official, . "she will call off the lylngjjresi reportt - she has lately been employing In Europe." , Be was referring especially to the report flrit published in a Paris dispatch to tbi London Times, that Germany had inti - mated to the lO. 8. Government that ii It took any action calcilated to aid tbi . Cubans, Germany would join Spain 1 making war upon us.. It was hardly nee essary for .the State Department to takt ' the trouble to deny such- rot as tbat, bu its otficlaU did so as soon as It was pub lished. It can be stated on high authoi, - ity that no European Government list .. ever given this government the slightest bint that It wished to interfere with tlit course this government was pursuing 01 was intending to pursue towards Cuba - . On the .contrary, some of them havt given this government assurances thai they would keep their hands' off in cast . we had any trouble with Spain. . Tbt publication of ;this report was unques tionably intended to work upon public - sentiment in this country, and through that sentiment upon Gongress and tut fresident but even if such a report were known to be true, it would have an - effect just the opposite from that intend' ed. Americans have been outwitted in diplomacy by European nations, but they have never been frightened by any - of tbem or all of them, and what is more, they never will be. . , i Americans don't want War, but if they - should have to fight Spain, they would prefer fighting her backed by Germany ... to fighting her alone. Spain is regarded - as such a- pigmy among J the world't nation that there would be but little . credit attached to thrashing her, but -Spain assisted by any of the great Euro- " pean nations would , make afoewortL . licking, if - war cannot' be honorably ' . ' ' avoided.- ,.v;j:.;.; - . There is the usual anti-Inauguration V . - . tain in Washington about having mon . srtistio stands erected along Pennsyl vania " avenue for those spectators who prefer to pay for the privilege of viewing the Inaugural Parade from a seat, but no body really expects to see anything diffet eot from the usual rough . board stand whieh are always eected by the specula tors who buy that privilege from the in . augural committee, and who, by the waj lose mqney, much oftener than' thej make any: When inaugdratbS day Bap pens to be clear and fairly pleasant, tin ewners of the street stands reap a haryesl but if It is cold and stormy, the seats 01 the stands are almost empty, There it - plenty of money contributed to the Inau- I giiraj committee to pay for the erection ol Stands both artistic and comfortable, but it all has a string tied to It, and the con tributors expect the committee to returt It to them from the receipts for privilege and from the inauguration ball, and wot ; be unto the committee which should fail to meet that expectation. As a matter ol fact, these loans, for such the contribu- -' tions are considered, are always returnea and a surplus If left that Is usually do nated to the poor by the Inaugural com mlttee. - - ' ' v- '.

One of the most disastrous wrecks In the history of South ern railroads happened thirty-six miles ioftth of here In which twenty-eight per--ions were killed outright 'and ten ' others injured, two of whom will die. The ill-fated train was a Louisville A Nashville one, which runs from here to Bloc ton, a distance of forty miles. ' The train left here at 5.30 in charge of Engineer Frank White and Conductor A. P. Connell. :: ., : :'' ; ' . .- Four miles north of Blocton, the en tire train, made up of an engine, bag- age and two passenger coaches, crashed hrough a bridge 700 feet long and 130 tact high Into tbe Cahaba River, A rail had been ' removed from the track, and when the engine struck this 160 feet of the bridge gave way and went lown with the train. ' Immediately the wreck took fire, the water being only ibout three feet deep, and before suffic ient help could be secured the' unfortun- ite passengers and trainmen,' who were pinioned under the debris, were burned to death in sight of others less unfortun ate. Some of the passengers, not so badly hurt, managed to crawl out and do all they could in assisting others, bnt of little avail. ' . The wreck occurred at what Is known is the Cahaba Bridge, about fifty miles from Birmingham, between Guernee and Blocton, .The bridge. Is about liOOO feet long and about 100 feet high. The train jumped the track and plunged oS tbe trestle to the rocks below. As to tbe number of passengers on toard the report conflict, but as near as can be ascertained, twenty-three were killed. V:.-.' Later reports place the number of pas lengers-aboard tbe ill-fated train at from thirty to thirty-five, and only two es- . . It Is said that seven were taken ut alive but In a dying condition. The wreck caught fire' and many unfortunate victims were burned to death. The sceno at the wreck presented most heart-rending and sickening spec tacle. The cars were smashed to splint ers on the rocks fully 100 feet below the track-from which the train had been hurled. The groans of the Injured and lamenta tion of those who crowded around were pitiable in the extreme. Physician from Birmingham and the adjacent vioinity lent superhuman aid in endeavoring to illevUte the suffering of those who zaped with a spark of life. 5, . It Is known positively that twenty lives were lost and a more complete search of the charred train may reveal more. It is also most certain that the wreck was paused by fiends for the purpose of rob- ory. Of those on the train nine escaped leath but several of these will die of wrious injuries. None of them can give a correct account of how the accident scoured. , ' ' The train was a local on the Birming ham Mineral, a branch of the Louisville nd Nashville system. la a KeBtaekjr Faa Mount Vmujoh, Ky.
