known is ten and the number of injui-
ed upward of 2s.
Most of the injured are Italians who
were riding in the smoking car of the
express train. They were being taken
to Atlantic City to do construction work
for the railroad company.
The scene at the wre is described
by those who were present as horrify-
ing. The two trains collided at full
speed and both engines were complete-
ly demolished. The forward car of
cach train, in both instances a combina-
tion baggage and smoker, was entirely
demolished also, and to add to the hor-
ror the wreckage took fire. The second
car of the “Nellie Bly” turned over on
its side and the passengers had to climb
out through the windows.
COMPROMISE AT PEKIN.
Foreign Ministers and Chinese Officials Fin-
ally Reach an Agreement.
A compromise has been agreed upon
between envoys and the
Chinese plenipotentiaries, Prince Ching
and Li Hung Chang. The envoys pro-
pose to permit the court to commute
the sentences of decapitation in the
cases of Prince Tuan, Duke Lan and
Gen. Tung Fu Hsiang to life imprison-
ment, and will agree to the following
punishments: Prince Chwang to be
Yu Hsien to be decapitated,
Chao Shu Chiao and Ying Nien to be
| peniised to strangle themselves and
Chi Hsin and Hsu Cheng Wu to be be-
headed in Pekin. If the court advances
no new obstacle, the negotiations on the
first point of the demands of the ow-
ers may be considered closed.
This agreement removes the excuse
for Count von Waldersee's projected
plier expedition into the interior.

Kitchener Turned South African Homes Over
to Ferocious Blacks.
London telegrams say: The British
war office meets with silence Gen. De-
Wet's charge that Kitchener has been
conducting a war of extermination. The
fact was known before DeWet told ir.
Not only have the Boer women and
children been left to the mercy of the
savage blacks, but the Basutos have
been incited to attack the defenseless
homes and destroy or carry off their in-
mates.
The English have been content to kill
or deport the men, leaving it for the
blacks to finish the work on the women
and children, and as all weapons are
scized when the English can get hold
of them, the women are utterly without
mcans of fighting off the savages when
they come.
Americans can get an idea of the sit-
uation by imagining the male settlers of
a frontier territory carried off as pris-
cners, and the women and children left
in their homes without means of de-
fense with hordes of bloodthirsty In-
dians nearby.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
For Aiding the Filipino Rebels a French Sub-
ject Comes to Grief.
At Pagsanjan, province of Laguna,
Lieutenant Vaughan, of the Thirty-
seventh infantry, arrested Fernando
Rustan, general agent of the Tabaca-
laria Company, on the charge of having
aided the insurgents.
Rustan is a French subject and a close
friend of the insurgent General Cailles,
and was to a certain extent associated
with W. D. Carman, the American con-
tractor, who was recently taken into
custody charged with having furnished
supplies to the insurgents.
It has also been learned that Rustan
furnished the insurgents with supplies,
information concerning the American
troops and their movement as well as
with money Te dealt directly with the
rebel General Cailles, who has been op-
| erating continually in the district east
of Manila. Webb, the bookkeeper
|of the Philippine Trading Company, has
{made a partial confession to the effect
that certain Belgians residing in Manila
iand the Bay Lake district were impti-

commanding the American troops sta-

STEAMER GRASHES ON THE ROCKS.
MANY PERSONS DROWNED.
Pacific Mail Ship Rio de Janerio Went to tho |
Bottom Near San Francisco, and
122 Lives Were Lost.
The Pacific Mail steamer Rio de Ja
neiro ran on a hidden rock while en
tering the Golden Gate, San Francisco
Cal., early Friday morning in a dense
fog. She sank a few minutes after
striking. It is thought that about 122
persons were drowned, most of whom
were Chinese and Japanese, but it is im
possible to ascertain the exact number,
as Purser John Rooney, who had the
passenger list and roster of the crew,
is among the missing.
At five o'clock in the afternoon
bodies had been recovered, two white
women, one white man and seven
nese. The most prominent passer
on the steamer was Rounseville Wil
nian, United States consul at Hong
Kong, who was accompanied by his
wife and two children. It is thought
all were drowned. The ship was in
command of Pilot Frederick n
when she struck. He was rescued
Capt. William Ward went down with
his vessel.
As nearly as can be learned. there
were 201 people on board the Rio de
Janeiro, as follows: Cabin passengers,
29; second cabin, 7; steera
and Japanese, white officers, 30;
Asiatic crew, 77: total, 201.
The following have been accounted
for: Rescued, 79: bodies at the morgue

That the steamer sank almost imme
diately after striking is the report of a
majority of those rescued. Some
the passengers say that she instant!
lifted forward, and that in five minutes
she went down. while others declare
that she remained afloat for half an
hour after she struck. The wreck lies
about three-fourths of a mile south of
Fort Point and about 1,000 yards off the
rocky shore. The smokestack and a
rortion of the upper works are visible.
