NO REPLY FROM SPAIN.
Neither Has the Communication from
Minister Woodford Arrived.

Minister NOOufOfu ifi1Neu.
Washington. Oct 26.-It was stated
positively at the White House and at
the state department that up 70 noon
the answer of Spain TO the United
States had not reached the president or
Secretary Sherman. nor had they re-
ceived the 1000 cable communication.
which, il is said Minister Woodford
sent in cipher from Madrid last Sat
urday. Under these circumstances 1t Is
impossible that any formal considera-
tion could be given by the executive
authorities here as to the next move
on the part of this government. There
was an abundance Of speculation in and
about the White House as to the issue
presented by Spain's answer, as briefly
summarized In cable reports, but from
no authoritative source could IL be
learned that the administration had out
lined any line of policy to meet the Sit
uation now presented. Secretary Sher-
man did not come to the White House
during the morning and Assistant sec
retary of State Day has gone TO ONO
so that there was no opportunity for
conference on the Spanish-Cuban situa-
ton.
Attorney Nenefal MCheHfld was WIN
the president for quarter or an hour'
presumably in reference to Union Pa
cific railway affairs. The attorney gen.
eral said after leaving the president
that there wer 90 o developments which
ne wished 10 t".lmunicate to the pub
lie. In other quarters it was stated that
a determination might come at any mo-
ment in the near future. and that in all
probability the meeting Of the cabinet
would bring cut a definite under
standing and lvoably a final conclu-
sion on the governments course. Sec
retary Alger had a talk with the presi-
dent on affairs in the KlOndike, and AS
| sistant Secretary Of the Navy Roose-
welt also had a brief interview Sena-
tor Quay of Pennsylvania was among
| the morning callers. Although the
| Spanish answer has not reached the
| president, the expectation about the
| White House is that he will be advised
on the subject during the day. If Min
| lister Woodford has sent lengthy ca
BILE on the subject it will be communl-
| Gated as soon as the cipher can be trans

TWENTY Y-EIGHT DEAD.

TRAIN PLUNGES INTO THE RIVER.

Miraculous Escape of the Passengers in the
Wagner Sleeping Cars-Nearly All OF
Them Were Asleep when the Disaster
Occured-Six Bodies Taken from the Day
Coach-The Work of Rescue-Scenes and
Incidents.
New York, Oct 26.-The New York
and Boston special express train No. 46,
over the New York Central and Hudson
River road, was thrown from the tracks
into the Hudson river at Corbin's basin,
two miles below Garrison's, at $40 in
the morning. There were ninety-six
passengers and fourteen trainhands on
board. No list was obtained of those
who were in the sleeping car. Twenty
eight persons are known to be dead and
the list is not yet complete. The bodies
recovered are all at Cold Spring, where
the coroner has an Office.
The engine and express car are in fifty
feet of water. The combination bag
gage and smoking car and one day
coach are submerged. OF the six sleep
ers one is entirely under water, two are
only partially covered, Three of the
sleepers did not leave the track. The
wreck is said to have been caused by
the tides washing away the underpin-
ming CT the track.
Rescued Through the window.
The engineer and fireman went down
with the engine. Many passengers wera
| rescued through the car windows.
| Among those in the smoking car were
| eleven Cinnamon who had been snug
| gled in from Canada All save three of
them were lost. Mr.. and Mrs. a. W.
Maltby Of Chicago, the former favor

sengers. Another was an Engl.shmar.

Two Unknown Women.

Nos. 70 and 13 were two women and
nothing could be found on them to iden-
tify them. No II was a woman about
80 years of age. She wore a black skirt
and a checked waist with a black silk
front The only article Of jewelry that
she wore was a gold band wedding ring,
which bore no inscription. She was of
light complexion, with high cheek bones
and light hair. No. 13 was a woman
dressed in black about 25 years of age.
She wore belt with a gold buckle
about her waist. She was s,,brunette.
There was nothing by whiclwshe could
be identified.
No. II was evidently an Italian. a
postal card was found in his pocket ad-
dressed to Giuseppe Paduano. The con-
tents were written in Italian and it was
signed "Toci Banca, 81 Park street,
New York" The identity of No. 10,
man, is unsettled. A letter was found
in his coat pocket addressed to w 5.
Becker, Newark n, Y. In his vest
pocket was found a prescription writ
ten by DR. Thomas Of Yonkers, n. Y.
Never To he Forgotten.
1t was a sight that will never be for
gotten, the fifteen dead forms on the
floor of the car. The face of each one
bore cuts or contusions OF some kind.
The supposition that the Cinnamon had
been smuggled into this country seems
to be erroneous, as they were all dressed
in clothes OF American make. The Chi
nese boarded the train at Malone, N. Y.
and three are still missing. From the
| time the bodies were taken from the Ill
fated cars thousands Of morbidly curl
Gus persons assembled about the Inn
| provised morgue. Many gained adnis-
sion on the ground that they wished to
identify some one.
| With two exceptions. the eyes OF all
the dead were tightly closed. Ryley s
| eyes were wide open. At p. m. the
| coroner gave orders for the removal OF
the bodies to undertaking rooms at Cold
Spring, where they will be embalmco
and held a day for identification.
No Wagner Passengers Killed.
