Tbe newspapers give Indications that!
Brazil threatened to go to war with
Great Britain rather than surrender
the island of Triuidad, w bich has Just
been seized by the latter country. The I
island Is little more than a bare rock i
lying In the South Atlantic about 1,) .
miles southeast of Kio de JauU-ro. It
was taken ixtwetwion of In the year (
l"io by Great Britain, but was regard
ed by I'ortugil as one of her transat-1
lantic possesions, and when Brazil
was separated from Portugal the island
of Trinidad was ceded to the new em-,
plre. Great Britalu had ceded back to
Portugal the Inland before the separa-
tion of Brazil from that country, so
that the claim of Brazil to the Island
Is rather well established. For more
than a century the Island has been a
sort of no-man's land, and Is of no
benefit or value to Brazil as a posses
sion. Whit has given It a temporary
importance now is that It Is needed for
a station for a submarine cable being
constructed by English parties to the
KIo de la Tlata, to connect Montevideo,
In Uruguay, and Buenos Ayres, la the
Argentine Republic, with Europe. Bra
zil has never occupied Jbe Island, al
though she has a right to do so, and its
only imjortance or value to Great Brit
ain is for a telegraph station. It Is
likely that smie arrangement will be
made for the use for which It Is want
ed that will be satisfactory to both
governments. Nations have passed

"An amusing farce," Is the express
Ion applied to the late great Indian
camalgn, by one of the officers who
were dispatched to the front No doubt
it was an amusing farce to the officers
and soldiers who were sent on a sum
mer's camping trip at an expense of
between $50,000 and $10fi,ooo to the
country. And perhaps tills is not too
large a price to pay for the soldiers'
outing and for the delectation of the
particular public that dotes on sensa
tional newspaper reports of fake Indian
warsL But it was a decidedly sorry
farce In Its effect upon the dignity of
our government Antonio Apache, the
educated Indian attache of Columbian
Museum in Chicago, was sent with the
expedition as a newspaper correspon
dent, and his letters are very droll.
After stating that the command had
encountered a 15-year-old boy carry
ing the Jackson's Hole mail over the
mountains, and that the boy had seen
two unarmed Indians within a week,
he remarks: "The campaign against
Indians, In which five comitauies of tbe
Eighth t'nited States Infantry and four
troops of the Ninth Cavalry are engag
ed, promises to be the most memora
ble of the Indian campaigns in the his
tory of the. country, for as the seat of
the reported trouble Is neared it be
comes more and more evident that
there are no Indians to be fought and
there Is not a man In the expedition
who expects to hear a hostile gun fired."
At the same time there came a dis
patch from Governor Richards, of Wyo
ming to Washington alleging renewed
danger to settlers in tbe Jackson's Hole
district, and calling for the Indians to
be sent home to their reservation It
will be noted that the Governor tele
graphs from a point no nearer the sceue
of danger than Cheyenne.
The big crops which may now be
quite safely counted upon west of tbe
Mississippi will go far towards reliev
ing the pressing embarrassments of
many lines of railroad. Word comes
from the Northwest that to take care
of the wheat crop of Minnesota and
the Dakota the roads will be able to
provide rwyoo cars. They say that
more than that number will be need
ed, but they hope to get along without
an actual car famine. In this part of
the West there is not so much wheat
but the enormous yield of corn in sight
gives assurance that the transortatiou
lines will have all they can do. There
has been a great deal of idle rolling
stock constantly on hand for tbe past
three years, and the business of the
roads has suffered to such an extent
that about one-third of the operatives
have been without employment as well.
The natural result of this has been
that there has been close times In ev
ery town having the distinction of a
division terminus, and repair shops
have been running on short time with
greatly reduced forces. Coming along
with the shipment of the new crops
will be ft largely Increased demand
for railroad labor. Old bills will be
paid up, money will begin fo circulate
where It has been almost unknown for
months, and better times will set In
both from tbe good fortune of the far
mer and tbe cost made necessary by
getting his products to market Much
of the money paid out for grain and for
;be labor of carrying It away to the
consumer will return In tbe railroad
earnings' through the transportation of
merchandise which will be again In
good demand throughout the favored
region. So there Is a good prospect
that there will soon be a better feeling
la railroad circles as well as among aH
other class, and the cities will come
ta for their share of the bsnelts.

Washington, D. C, Aug. 22,-The
case of John L. Waller, ei-eonsul of
the United SUtes at Tkmstive, Mada
gascar, snd dow in prison iu France,
has assumed a phrase that justifies this
government in the belief that Waller's
days of confinement are nearly ended
and that he will soon be restored to
liberty. It can be stated on the high
est authority that the only reason why
Ambassador Eustis has cot been in
truded to demand Waller's immedi
ate release Is that such a coarse might
we ken the tbe claim for indemnity,
which the United states proposes to
make sgsinst France for the confisca
tion of the rubber concession in Mada
gascar. The preside ut and secretary
of the navy are now thoroughly satis
fied that Waller's military trial was not
conducted in a proper manner and that
his conviction of the crime of treason
was based on the flimsiest evidence.
It will he a matter of a verv short time.
a few weeks, perhaps, before Secretary
Olney will instruct Ambassador Eustis
to tsenxe Wsjlert release and make a
claim Tor Indemnity egalnattn FMic

tion of his"rubber concession.
Tbe amount of the Indemnify to be
asked will be more than $1,000,000.
Tbe exact sum canuot be ascertained,
snd the probabilities are that It has not
been de:ermlned or. The report that
Waller is dying of consumption in
prison is giving the state department
lome uneasiness, but the Information
is not believed to be strictly accurate,
m tbe lattst letters from Waller said
Ihe chills andfever he has suffered from

ful and his release Is assured, even if

11:30 by the collapse of the roof. If
the disaster to the building had occured
a little earlier there would have been a
great loss of life, over half a hun

night. They having been installing the I
kre electric lighting for the opeulug of
the big show building September 2
with a circus.
So far as known there was no one
killed by the scclde.it. St veral watch
men had Just made the rounds of the
Interior and were standing under the j
walls, which are unusally low for the !
iize ot the building. They happened I
to be on tbe south side and when the
crashing superstructure of Iron gave i
warning of danger they had plenty of
time to rush to a place of safety. When
the massive arches of iron began to
break loose from their fastenings on
the four sides of the structure
tbe strain was too much for the tbin,
low walls ot pressed brick. With a
deafening noise the iron carried with
it the lour walla in a chaotic heap to
wards the center and tbe work of des
truction was complete. The cost of
Coliseum was to be 1 223,000, and as it
was nearing completiou for the open
ing show the loss is believed to be
nearly 1200,000, Everything was being
done in a hurry to keep tbe opening;
date and only last week three workmen
anet death while engaged on the sup
erstructure. Two of tbe iron workers
fell 150 feet from a beam while placing
bolls in aa iron arch. The president
of the company from its inception is

Pittbiko, Pa., Aug. 21. tlx men
met instantaneous death at the Thomp
son steel works of tbe Carnegie Steel
company at Braddock at 4 J30 this
morning and eight others were terribly
injured. Two of tbe latter died while
being conveyed to the Mercy hospital,
i'ittebarg.
Tbe accident occurred at "II" furnace
and was the result of what is known as
a "slip." Shortly before tbe time stated
the men at tbe top of the furnace lost
control of a large barrow from which
ore was being dumped Into the furnace.
The barrow became wedged under tbe
edge of tbe bell. This is not an un
usual occurrence, and as it was a rule
in force a number of men at the bot
tom of the furnace dropped their tools
and went to tbe top to assist In remov
ing the barrow. This increased tre
number of men at tbe top of tbe fur
nace to fourteen. The workmen were
gbtbered about the opening, tugging at
the heiivy bell chains and tbe barrow,
wh-n without warning there was a
terrific report and the furnace bell shot
forth great volumes of flames and
molten Iron, The workmen were in
stantly enveloped In a sea of flsmes,
which spread over the platform on
which they stood and into the hoist
house 100 feet above tbern. The force
of tbe explosion hurled six of the men
skyward. They fell buck near the
opening of tbe furnace, where the
flames and Intense heat from below
literally roasted them alive. Those
who bad been furthest from thd mouth
os the stack when the explosion came
were thrown back into the hoist home,
but came far enough to escape the
flames and the metal as they poured
volcano-like fiom the stack. Sevtral
of the victims could not be Identified.
They were battered a.id torn out ot all
semblance to the hum in form. The
explosion immediately roused the peo
ple of Braddock, Rnd soon hundreds
were rushing frantically to the furnace
knowing well what the result of the
explosion would inevitably be. As the
mothers, wives and children of the
Victims learned the worst their letnenta
tions were pit (able and force w as nec
ctfisiiry to keep them in restraint until
the work of rescue could be under
taken with SHfety. ' Property to the

Wahusoton, D. C, Aug. 21. After
many years of controversy the claim of
Maximo Mors, a naturalized American
citizen, against the government ol Spain
for the value of his sugar plantations
In t uba has been amicably settled, or
raiher practically so, for Spain has un
til September 1, to make the payment.
Kpaln's final 4iid positive agreement
to pay at and early date was made
sometime ago, but since the cabinet
council at Madrid committed Ihe gov
ernment to that promise a difllculty
arose through a further decision of the
council not to pay the Interest on the
claim amounting t" about iSOO.OOO. t
was believed at ihe time that this atti
tude of the cabinet would result in ser
ious difficulty between the United
States and Spain.' The patience of
Washington authorities has been worn
out through Spain's inconsistent policy
of making promises and failing to keep
them.
So seriously did this government
view the refusal to pay the interest
that a plan that might have Involved
the I nited Stales in war with Spain,
but prob.bly not, was decided on by
the prident and Secretary Herbert.
This wag no lets than an intention lo
leize Havana and that port until tbe
Spanibh government laid down the
amount of the interest or until customs
revenues amounting to the full inter
est bad been collected at the Havana
customs house by the United States
ollicers who would be placed In charge.
The statement that this plan was prac
tically arranged is made on the best
authority. In coming to such a seri
ous conclusion the administration
found a precedent In the recent action
of Great Britain in seizing the port of
Corinth, Nicaragua, for the purpose of
collecting indemnity claimed for sub
jects who hrd suffered at tbe hands of
tbe Nlcaraguan government during
tbe Mosquito troubles.
