BosToN, April 2O-All injured by
the Stonington railway disaster who have
reached this city arc reported to be doing
well. Some three hundred men were
employed yesterday in rebuilding the

and cars out Of the chasm, and the work
was continued to-day.
Later ParticnIarS..AWluI Incidents
OF the Disaster.
NEW YoRK, April 20.-A special gives
additional particulars Of tho Stoniugton
disaster. Tho train left StOnington about
thirty.tlvo minutes late, and was running
at the rate oI forty miles per hour. AS it
approached the bridge the fireman and
engine driver became aware OF the exist
encc OF the watery gulf before them, but
saw the damage too late to prevent tic
disaster or even save their own lives by
leaping from theengine. The locomotive
jumped the gap about thirty feet wide
and landed on the other side in O sand
bank, plunging into it with such force as
to wreck her completely. Some idea OF
her tremendous speed may be as-
certained from the TACT that piece
Of rail was broken up and shot through
the boiler so that it remained like shalt,
exposed at both ends. The engineer,
VIM. Guile, when discovered was be-
tween the driving wheel and the engine,
there being b6t just enough Of his body
left to identity him. The fireman, james
Eldridge, was crushed to jelly. There
were about eighty passengers, and the
scene can bc better imagined than de-
sCribCd. AS the overturned stoves and
lamps set fire 10 the woodwork, cries Tor
assistance rent the air from the smoking
car. Frantic husbands calling for
their wives, wives calling for their
husbands, sons und daughters. Some
escaped through the car windows, others
were pulled out of the water below,
while many were wnthing beneath the
ruins. One man, with his body partly
out of o window, could extricato himself
no further, and was calling wildly, "Oh!
save me am burning to death" His
screams and moans were not needed, and
death put IN end to his suiIerlugs. When
Mr.. Allen met his death, he was standing
on the front platform Of q car, and as the
train struck, his foot was caught in the
iron and in this condition he
was burned TO death.

The SECRETARY OF TIE INTERIOR has
written a letter, which was printed In q
New York iounal, calculating the Indian
policy OF the Administration, what it
means und what it does not mean. BY
what is known US the "Quaker policy"
the Secretary says it is proposed, first, to
pacG the Indians upon reservations as
rapidly us possible; removing them from
frontier settlements, and where they can
be brought within tho christsini zlng in
tucnccs and taught the arts Of peace; sec
Ond, where Indians refuse 10 aCCede 20 this
policy it is the intention Of ShC Govern
mcut to trONt them with due severity and
cOnvinCot them oi the impolioy OF resisting
the Government; third, it IS the aim Of the
Government TO give the Indians the fullest
protection against dishonest agents. and
fourth, to establish schools, and through the
assistance Of tho various religious organi-
cations acting in harmony with the Gov.
crnmcnt to build churches and organize
Sabbath schools whereby these savages
may be taught better way of life than
they have heretofore pursued, and be
made to understand the comforts and
benefits of Christian civilization, and
thus be prepared ultimately to become
citizens of this great nation" 1t is now
perfectly apparent that the great mistake
In the ModOc campaign was that Mr..
