sent back TO take a message to the
Spaniards, informing them that the
mOnarchists or republicans acted with
inhumanity to the insurgents; there
fore, the insurgents would show no quar-

ers to Puerto Principe. Nevertheless,
Rubalcada was executed in that city.
Another version reports that Agramonte
sent Prucunell and others in exchange
for the insurgent chief, Emilio Lucas,
who had been captured by the Spanish
forces, but the capture was not made
public.

Railroad AccIdent-TwO Men Killed.
RUTLAND, VI, March 30.-An acci-
dent attended with fearful consequences
occurred tonight to the express train
over the Rutland and Washington di-
vision of the Rensselaer, and Saratoga
railroad, due here at forty minutes after
twelve o'clock Sunday morning.
1t appears that the surface water
had undermined the track at a.
place about one and half miles south
of Shusham, and when the train
reached this point been eleven and
twelve O'Clock. The track appeared to
be all right; but as soon as the Iocomo-
tive struck the treachereus spot, the
track and ties sank precipitately. TIE
locomotive, baggage-caT, passenger and
ran off the track, down
an embankment. The locomotive went
down on the right hand side,
forty feet, turning completely over.
Henry COnnOr, engineer, Pat
rick Monahan, fireman, Mr.. Ryan,
another engineer, and Fred Dowds, a
were on the locomotive at
the time. Douds and Monahan were
instantly killed. Henry Conner had
two or three ribs broken, and was con-
bruised, but will doubtless re-
cover. Ryan's injuries are not serious. |
The baggage cal, passenger and sleeping
coaches went off on the opposite |
side Of the embankment from the loco
motive, which on this side was but a
few feet high. The ears were badly |
wrecked. The baggage-car took fire,
and the through mails were about half |
burned. The passengers in the rear car
were shaken up badly. Hardly anyone
without some scratch or bruise. |
Among the badly hurt Is @. d. German, !
of Lafayette, Indiana, Injured in the |
leg and breast. The injured ones, it is |
thought, will all recover. When Con !
ductor Downs was found, he was lying |
in the water and mud under the casing !
of the dome of the locomotive, |
with his neck broken. Mr.. Mon |
ahan, the fireman, was found
in the mud under the front of the loco
motive, and twas necessary, to dig some
little time before anybody could be got
out. Monahau was out oiling the valves
when the accident occurred. The pas
sengers and what was left of the mail
arrived here at noon to-day.

Union give evidence that the storm of

trous in the vicinity of Canton, NIissis-
