TRAIN GOES OVER
AN EMbANKMENT
Catastrophe Caused by the
Heavy Rainfall in
Indiana.
Newspaper Men Refused Trans
portation to the Scene of
the Wreck.
But It Is Known That Five Pers ons
Have Been Killed and Two
Badly Injured

EVANSVILLE, IND. March 1o.-The
Chicago and Nashville Limited passenger
train, south-bound from Chicago, was
wrecked this morning at 10 30 o'clock at
point one mile south of HaZelton, Ind,
and thirty-se miles north OF Evans
vile, on the Evansville and Terre Haute
road.
1t was a very difficult matter to obtain
accurate information, as the railroad Off
cials were unusually reticent and refused
newspaper men transportation to the
scene of the wreck. The latest and most
reliable report is five men were killed and
two seriously injured, as follows:
Killed-Herbert B. Allen of Evansville,
caught IN the smoker and drowned; Jo-
seph BoIeman OF Evansville, fireman;
John Sears of Terre Haute, conductor;
two unknown.
Injured-Brakeman Hauisen of Evans
vile and G. B. Henderson, brother of ex-
State Auditor Henderson. Both are se-
riousIy injured.
The accident was the result of the heavy
rains in Southern Indiana, and when the
train reached the fill the embankment
suddenly gave way and the engine, bag
gage-car and part of the smoker dropped
into about six feet of water.
a telephone message from Hazelton
says there is another crevasse between
White River bridge and the one where the
train was wrecked. 1t is spreading rap
idly and the damage to the roadDed will
be very serious. It was reported that an
overcoat marked 81. T. Phillips" was
found floating in the water near the
wreck.
The damage to the roadbed of the
Evansville and Terre Haute and the
Evansville and Indianapolis railroads by
the recent rains and foods is estimated at
81 600 OO0

figures, and that it was probably being

into the complicated state department

had to be undone at the state depart

the cipher back again into good En-
glish. This occupied nearly all of the
day, 30 that it was half-past three

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. The Spanish
reply to Minister Woodford concerning
Cuba, which was received here Wedues-
day, will be laid before the cabinet at
the regular meeting to-day. Mean
while the members of the presidents
official family have not seen the mes
sage. 1t may be stated positively that
the administration regards the note, so

cabled by Minister Woodford, as being
conciliatory. aud not calculated TO raise
an issue.
The acts already performed by the
new cabinet towards correction of
some OF the evils of which we com
plain in Cuba are regarded as an earn
est of the intention of the Spanish
government to faithfully carry out the
entire reform programme, and If there
should be speedy alienation of the
