City Of Mexico, via Galveston. March
1t IS now known that 200 people
were killed and injured in the ter
rible wreck on the Inter-Oceanic rail-
way yesterday.
It is impossible, as yet, to say how
many of this number are dead. as the
wreck has not yet all been cleared
away, and reports are very conflicting.
Il is feared, however, that over 100
are dead. The train was an excursion,
carrying nearly 1900 passengers return
ing from the pilgrimage annually
made to Sacre Monte shrine
Near Pedri Blancha, there is a Sharp
curve and at his point, from some rea-
son as yet not definitely learned, Ave
coaches jumped the track and went
down the side Of the mountain.
As soon as word was received in this
city, a relief train was sent out with
surgeons and a Wreching force and the
work Of re5cuing the wounded and
taking out the dead has been progress
ing since. AS fast as possible the
wounded were brought to this city,
President Diaz having ordered the
military hospital with its staff to care
for all survivors.
a gendarme who returned on one
of the relief trains, says he saw IA
dead bodies taken from one coach. The
bodies were man6led in a most shock
ing manner; some Of them were in
fragments, and limbs, heads and bod
ies were mixed up in such a manner
as to make Identification almost i'm
possible
The scene about the wreck was
most siclzening as well as sorrowful.
Relatives were searching for miss
ing members of their families, and
women and children who had lost
husbands and fathers were crying and
moaning in heartrending manner.
Further details from the scene are
expected later this evening, but the
telegraph service is unsatisfactory.
This is the most serious wreck IN Mex
leo since 1881, when train load -of
soldiers went through a bridge, 400 Of
them being killed.
The most careful inquiry in this sec
ton Of the railroad people, indicate
! there were no Americans on the train,
! the passengers, 50 far as learned, being
natives. The train crew are not Ameri-
cans and in accordance with the Me1i-
can custom, all who were not killed,
viii be arrested; the Mexican laws
! placing the responsibility on trainmen
I for such affairs are stringent.

The sight here was most grueSome

a majority Of the occupants were lying

debris could be seen an upturned face,
the eyes fixed in the CLASSY, stare OF
unknown fear. Again would be seen

was a leg that had been severed from
a trunk lying perhaps fifty feet away.

| So far as can be learned the acct

engineer. 1t is stated that when the
train entered the incline he made no
attempt to CHECK it's speed by the use
OF air brakes. Had the brakes failed

been checked by the hand brakes.

they heard no whistle for the applica-

train was allowed to run practically

sections of the road will probably
! never be known.

survivors Of the Gallant BODY il Reunion
Once More.
CINclSNhrI. Ohio, Sept. lS.-At last
nights session Of the Army OF
the Tennessee reunion Colonel
Fred Grant outlined General Grants
plan of campaign Cor closing
the war. and described the order in
which General Grant would have mar
rated the story in the second volume
of his memoirs had his life been spared.
Upon being appointed lieutenant gem
eral and assuming command, General
Grant had an interview with President
Lincoln, who wanted to take
the responsibility Of action and call
upon him for supplies, the president
pledging the full powers of the govern
ment in rendering all assistance posi-
bic.
General Grant then planned move
n1~nts for all of the armies to move at
once. He regarded the army of the
James as the left wing, the army of
the Potomac as the center, and the
troops operating under Sherman, of
which the army of the Tennessee was
a most important part, as the right
wing, all other troops being co-opera-
tive columns. By continuously ham
mering against the confederate armies
he proposed to destroy both them and
their sources of supply.
Colonel Grant compared the w
ment of the Army of the Potomac to
that OF Napoleon in the Russian cam
paign, while the plan in reference to
the whole army resembled that adopt
ed by their allies in the campaign
against France in 1o13-l4. BE outlined
how the Confederates had concentrated
their troops east Of the Mississippi
into the armies of Lee and Johnston,
how General Grant placed himself
with the Army of the Potomac,
where the greatest opposition was
expected, sent Sherman against John
stone. and Sheridan through the Shen-
andoah valley. On May 4 the Army
of the Potomac moved, and on May
6 all YER moving. By May II the
troops We're forced to act en-
tirely on the defensive, and the Union
lines had been considerably advanced.
1t was at the end of the first week of
this campaign that General Grant
wrote: II propose to fight it out on
this line If it takes all summer"
The second phase of the plan was to
keep the enemy within the besieged
cities-Richmond, Petersburg and At
lanta-and actively engag the outside
troops to drive all the smaller ON
mands to the south, to devastate the
country from which supplies were
and to destroy those who gath.
cred these supplies.
