THIRTY KILLED IN WRECK Train Jumped Switch and Rolled Down Embankment. CARS SMASHED TO PIECES Beven Day Coaches, Carrying Im- migrants, Were Crushed Into Kindling Wood. Thirty persons were killed and more than 50 injured in the wreck of the Southern Pacific express train from New Orleans for San Francisco, at Colton, 60 miles east of Los Angeles, Cal. The train took an open switch when speeding 50 miles an hour, and five out of the nine coaches were de- molished. The four cars that remain- ed on the track were badly smashed, but all the passengers in them es- caped death. One of the four coaches was occupied by Florence Roberts, the actress, and her company of 20 per- sons playing in ‘The Strength of the Weak.” The players were severely bruised and shocked. ; There is a persistent report that the switch was thrown open by train- wreckers, as a yardman reported that he passed the spot a few minutes be- fore the accident and the switch was then in position. The train was in the siding before the engineer realized tne danger, and before he could bring the express to a stop the locomotive ran into a freight car, and then drove full against the side of an embankment. There are 19 bodies in the Colton morgue, and many more are in the police station. 'George L. Sharp of Muncie, Ind., has been identified as one of the dead. Six of the dead are women and four small children were killed. The force of the wreck was so tremendous that the sides and roofs of the cars were split, opening seams .through which the passengers were shot as if by cat=pults. One man was thrown 50 feet in a direct line from the siding. Another passenger was flung across the narrow wedge of land to the main track, where his head was crushed by coming in contact with the rail. He died instantly. A woman was found stuck head first fn a mud hole a few feet from the siding. foot, and was uMnjured. pierced through the splinter, which projected back into the plush covering Sharp was bevond his of his cer of fire, and vin deluged the woman this her after + lines of house for the fireme wreck with was almost drowned eration. - The fire: they had droppe y and joined in the search and the dying. tar Wate 2 Vor is BLOW UP TRAIN ON Consignment of Torpedoes Tosses Cars, Wires and Track Into a Jumbie.

The oapture of Tegucigalpa, coup- led with the recent defeat of the capi- Choluteca and the flight of President Jonilla of Honduras, puts an end to the latest Central American war. It is now probable that Nicaragua will | install another galpa and withdraw her troops to her | own territory. The conflict has been of short duration and none of the various en- gagements has been serious. The casualties have been light, 400 or 500 in the most import- | ant engagement reported, at Choluteca. . Setting aside the mule the Nicara- guans are alleged to have stolen the cause of the conflict apparently is found in the ambitions of President Zelaya of Nicaragua to see as chief executive of Honduras a man who would favorably consider the terms of Nicaragua in the boundary dispute between the two gountries. derlying motive lies possibly the fight in President Zelaya's more far-reaching! with a ambitions; he is credited strong desire to bring about a fed- eration of the States of America, and Honduras stood in his way.

The trouble now extends from one end of Roumania to another, and even the capital city, Bucharest, is in fear of an attack. Reports of sanguinary encounters are received constantly and each day shows the encounters to be more deep seated and far reach- ing and the situation more serious.
