A DiaboIicaI Outrage


MADRID. April 28.-The consp1ra-
tors intended to cause spontaneous
republican uprising in Catalonia, Va
lencia, and throughout the southern
provinces, by breaking the railroad
bridge near Cunidaraels. The train of
passenger cars was precipitaled into
the river, snd several persons are re-
ported killed. Twenty others received
severe injuries. One of the supports
of the bridge was afterwards found
cut, showing that the disaster was
the result of malicious work.
LATER-The loss of life in the rail-
way disaster near Cundareals, proves
to have been much greater than at
first reported. Thirty-eight corpses
have been recovered so far from the
wreck on the river, and fifty soldiers
are missing. 1t is believed that the
weakening of the bridge, which led to
its collapse, was the work of republi-
cans.

lively interest. Illinois, Indiana, New

delegations have already arrived, and
others will reach here In time for the

present their credentials and demand
recognition. If not accorded seats
they will make vigorous protest.

and south, that recognition under the
laws. to which they are entitled. The
questions prepared for discussion are /:

ton; !" sour Grievances-Their Ma
ture and Remedy :" Our Political
Status etc An effort, it is said, viii

conference, but Mr.. Smith says ma

movement to the objects for which the
conference is called. About 100 dele
