Philippine Situation Rapidly Ap-
proaching a Climax.
AGUINALDO BOLDLY DEFIANT.
Maxii.a, Jan. 10.—The situation In
rapidly approaching a climax, and it
iajutt possible that to-morrow will
ice a peaceable flotation.
Meanwhile all aorta of alarmist ru-
mor* are In circulation. Th« United
States authorities are taking every
precaution; the troop., in quarter* arc
under arm* and the California*!. Iiavo
iissmbarkid from the transports.
The natirea. it I* reported, hare
Ion ordered not to work for Die
Americana, and the employe* In the
rommlaaary department have gone un
strike. Native* are leaving the city.
Major General Otla, however, ha*
the whole hitnntion thoroughly In
hand.
A second proclamation l>y Agulnsl-
do. bearing the ame date a* the one
which Immediately followed the pro-
clamation of Major General Otl*. batted
upon I*rc*ldent Mcltinlcy's Instruc-
tions, Arst appeared on the street* to-
day, but It is alleged to have been re-
called. Its term* are much more ve-
hement than those used In the flrst
proclamation. Aguiualdotlireatens to
•rive the American* from the island*,
rail* the Deity to wltnebs that their
blood will be on their own head* if it
i* shed, and detail* at great length the
promiaca he claims were made by the
American* as to the part of the insur-
gents in the campaign
It la believed that the second pro-
clamation Ik the original draft which
was not adopted by the Filipino con
gre*a at Malolo*.
Wasiiixotos, Jan. i".—Great reti-
cence is exhibited at the war depart
nicut relative to the state of affairs at
Iloilo. It la admitted that General
•His has reported to the department
the facta that were reported to him in
turn by General Miller, but all that
.an be gathered aa to the nature of
the communication la that It goes to
confirm the press reports a* to the at-
titude of the insurgent*. There aro
excellent reason* why the official* at
the war department should, at this
atage, maintain secrecy aa to the in-
atructlons governing the movement of
troop* in the 1'hllippinc*. The situa-
tion i* admitted to he critical, but not
hopeleaa by any means, and it is ex-
tremely desirable that the danger of a
rupture shall not be increased by in-
flammatory publications, which pow-
erfully affect the excitable Filipino*.
It ia believed that General Oti* I*
framing a plan of campaign which will
result in the extension of hi* control
over the island of l'ansy,at least, with-
out actual hostilities, or. if it must
couic to warfare, then with tho least
possible exposure of the American
troops. Probably the liist step In
this campaigu h la-en taken by this
time In the establishment of a camp
on the plains of Guiamara*. lying only
a few milea from Iloilo and easily ac-
cessible to the warships. This proba-
bly will be made the base of operations
If hostilities become unavoidable. The
government, however, has not aband-
oned hope that a peaceful solution can
be reached.
The government's instructions sent
to General Miller at Iloilo were to
land and gain communication with the
insurgent*. This is a* far as
dera liave gone, cxcept that, when he
has established communication with
the insurgent official* and people, he
la to make public the purpose* of the
t.'nited States. Not a shot is to be
Bred by the forces of this country un-
less they are attacked, or until further
orders nrc given from here.
The policy to be adopted now is a
gentle one. Persuasion will bo nsed
before powder. That will bo the laat
resort, and Secretary Alger is optimis-
tic in lila views that it will never be
neceasary. The President, it is said,
viewa the situation in a similarly
hopeful manner. Ilo believe, that the
Filipinos will become leas suspicious
when they understand more fully the
intentions of this country. lie be-
lieves that careful work on the part of
prudent officials will convince the Fil-
ipino* of the earnestness of the I'nltcd
States and of the purpose of this gov-
ernment to protect their Uvea and
property.

Four ears were entirely consumed by

A new track waa built around the
wreck an 1 traffic was delayed only a

Trainmen nt the wreck do not at-

the officials at headquarter* here pro-

aolution they offer ia that poaalbly the
engineer of the westbound train may
have fallen asleep at his post. All the
employes involved arc among the old-

Nkw York, Jan. 10.—ny a head-on
collision between two passenger tralna
tm the l.chlgh Valley railroad at Weal
Hunellen. N. J., nt I3:4T p. m. yeater-
day. eighteen per*on* were killed and
over twenty were Injured
West Dunellcn I* three miles ti
lloundbrook and about thirty mllea
from New York city. At the pot
where the diaaater occurred, there la
a sharp curve In the Lehigh Valley
track* and a steep cutting, but the ac-
cident waa due in the tir*t place to
■one terrible mistake in train order*
and in the second place to another ac-
cident that occurred at lloundbrook
caxler in the day.
The *cene* which aocompauied tile
collision, the suffering* of tho injured
and the pnnic that reigned among tha
400 passengers were well nigh inde-
scribable. The blood-stained wreck
of tangled and twisted Iron nnd wood
bore witness to the truth of the gen
cral verdict of railroad men that thia
waa one of the w orst colli*!
cent yeara.
A head-on colllalon on a double track
road waa made possible only by
freight wreck which occurred
lloundbrook at 0 o'clock in the morning
when the axle of a freight r r broke
and nine car* were plied on top of each
other. This completely blocked the
east bound track, and all through the
morning Lehigh Valley trains bound
for New YorU (witched from their ow n
track to the weat bound track, going
over theae rails from lloundbrook to
Newmarket, a distance of ait milea,
and changing at the latter placc back
to their right side of tho road. To
permit this mode of traffic, all weat
bound train* were held at South
l'lainfield until their own line was
clear of trains going in the opposite
direction.
Train No. 20. which left Shamokln,
Pa., at 7 a. m., was so heavy with hu-
man freight that it had to be broken
Into three sections. The first two sec-
tion* arrived at lloundbrook, switched
over to the other track, switched back
at Newmarket and reached New York
in safety. The third section of thi*
train was almost an hour late. Ita
seven cars were crowded with 400 ex-
cursionists, most of them from Mount
Carmel and Shatnokin. Malioncy City,
llaxelton. Ashland and I'ottaville, Pa.
The party was traveling under the
auspices of the business men's excur-
sion, an annual event which many
patronise for a threj days' visit to
New York. Not a few of the excur-
sionists were coming to w itness the
McCoy-Sharkey fight. Their train
awitched over at Uonndbruok and pro-
ceeded. like tho precc ling sections,
on the west bound track.
Meanwhile, there had been waiting
at Newmarket a local train that plies
regularly between New York and
Roundbrook. Its number ou the
schedule is TI an 1 it is due in llound-
brook at 11:39 a. m fining to the
traffic all going on one track, it was
almost an hour late. At last the train
dispatcher at South l'lainfield gave it
permission togo. Just licfore reach-
ing West Ilunnelen, Engineer Kick
slowed liis train down, hecnuse be
stops for passenger., if there are any.
Martin llrennan, the signal man,
threw up his nrius and waved them,
as if to snv there were no passengers,
bo the local put on stom and headed
round the curvu, going at about twen-
ty-five miles an hour. There were only
four passengers on the local.
In tho cab of the excursion tram
was James l*rrndoi-gust. the engineer,
with his fireman, George Cheshire.
They saw the local as it started on the
curve. With shrieking whistle and
brakes grinding sparks from the
wheels, the excursion train bore down
to what scenicd certain destruction.
The passengers, alarmed at the con-
tinued whistling, opened the window*;
mothers snatched their children in
tartcil from their
scats, but before they had time to Dnd

two night men and the money drawer.
Engineer Edwar.l Meade, who was
robbed of two watches and some
money at the Cottage houae, ran to
the Memphis depot, borrowed n rovol-
and then atatloned himself at the
Arlington house corner, where the
robbera would pass him In their flight
from Sayer'a place. After completing
their robbery at Saver's the men ran
and Meade opeuee fire. I'pon his sec-
ond shot they turned and tired, the
first ball taking cflcct high in his left
breast and bringing him down. The
robbers then continued thsir flight
toward the woods, shooting as they
went.
Engineer Meade's wound is found
not to be necessarily fatal. During
the firing Policeman Jones broke the
rope that bound him and returned to

All drinking water should be under

occurs often with wells that are be-

I* ahown by tbe experience of Wyck-

ing tbe beat layera among hi* flock
of Leghorn* for aeveral years, got hi*
whole flock ot tlx hundred up to an
average of one hundred and ulnety-alz
egg* per hen a year, aaya Massachu-
setts Ploughman. Thi* I* an extreme-
ly high average for so many hens on
one firm. It means better than an
egg every other day for every hea th*
year round. Not ouly In aprlng and
summer, but through the moulting
teaton. through the dead ot winter,
and through the timet when hen*
naturally take tor altting or for rail-
ing their brood, even tor a small flock,
the record would be unusually good.
No amount of care with ordinary
fowla would make them do a* well
on a large acale. Here la an object
which tenda to thow that breed-
ing and telectton will yet do for hen*
wuat me same agenclea have done for
