Inquest Held But without Any Re
suits.

An Inquest Held But without Any Re.
Cold Spring, N. Y, October 27.-Chief
Detective Humphrey of the New York
Central railroad, was asked tonight If the
arrest of any person was contemplated
on suspicion of having caused the wreck
of the state express. Mr.. Humphrey ad-
mitted that the railroad officials sus-
pected that the road bed was blown out
by dynamite, but refused to divulge any
information. He said that his instruc-
tions were to report the result of his in
vestigation personally to President De-
pew. The diver, who was at work today
searching In the river for the bodies of
Engineer Foyle and Stenographer Nc
Kay, had no success. Two divers, assisted
by a steam dredge, will continue the
search tomorrow.
Coroner Wood and jury commenced
their inquest tonight into the causes of
the death of the 80 victims. The hearing
was productive of no Information what
ever bearing upon the cause of the dis
aster. The inquest was adjourned IN
til November at 7.S0 p. m.
GEN. MAN. TOUCHEY'S THEORY.
New York, October s7.-General Man
ager Touchey Of the New York Central
believes that the Garrison disaster was
caused by break in the engines ma :
chinery Mr.. Touchey said today: II
believe something broke on tho engine
and ploughed up the ground and Jared
the road so that it loosened and slid into
the river. The sudden stopping of speed
of the train caused the cars to double UP
on each other and helped loosen the road
bed. That is what believe caused the
| accident. That is the conclusion !
reached from my Investigation of the
facts. If there had been dynamite ex-
plosion before the train reached that place
the engine could not have passed over it
and 75 feet this side as 1t did,

PORTLAND MAINE, THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 2s 1897
MAY HAVE BEEN DYNAMITE.
"A horrible Theory in Connection With the
New York Central Disaster,

Cold Springs, N. Y, October 27.-The
suspicion which was only breathed in
Whispers last night, that the terrible dis
aster to the state express of the New York
central railroad on Sunday moruing,
which sent 20 souls to eternity, was the
work of q diabolioal plot, gained
strength among the railroad men this
morning.
: II the bank of the railroad was torn
up by dynamite, the motive of those
who did it was not robbery, but revenge, :"
was the startling statement made by one
official of the road.
The suspicious of the railroad people
having been aroused, vigorous inves-
glgatlon will probably be made and at
ieast one man may be arrested today
when the party Of twenty-six road
masters of the New York central rail-
way system arrived at the scene early
Nohuay morning and commenced crlt1-
Gal survey of the section OF the embank-
inent which had been either washed or
DioWn out. one of the roadmasters, man
VINO mas had great experience in the use
OF dynamite, said to his fellow officials
that the excavation looked to him very
1nuch like the work of dynamite.
Inc Associated Press representative
was Informed this morning that three
weeks ago this same train, No. IS, had
narrow escape from being wrecked at
point about two miles south of the spot
Wnere 1T finally met it's fate.
"A huge boulder weighing two tons was
discovered on the track just in time for
5he train to be stopped.
The officials of the New York Central
deny most vehemently the statement
made by Michael Glare of Gold Spring,
That he resigned his position rs section
foreman, because he knew that the road
bed was unsafe and did not wish to long
er take the responsibility for 1t.
The officials say that Glare was dis
charged for drunkenness and neglect Of
duty.
General superintendent Touchey and
others state that they saw Glare only last
evening in an intoxicated condition.

ONLY A VERBAL COMPLAINT.

Madrid, October 27.-A formal denial
was issued by the Government OF spain
today in the case of the statement that
the Spanish minister at Washington.
Senior Dupuy desLome, had presented TO
the government of the United States a
note on the subject of the filibustering

made verbal complaint to the govern

1t is Learned That the Note VIII Not Be
ment-sagasta VIII Not Be Interfered
with.
Washington, October 27.-The event of
the day at the state department was the
receipt of the long expected cablegram
from Minister Woodford at Madrid, trans
mitting the answer of the Spanish govern
ment to his representations in the in
terests of peace in Cuba.
This mess a ge began to come in install
ments at 2 O'Clock last night and it was
nearly noon today before it was all in
hand at the state department.. 1t was not
the length of the message that occupied
the wires all of that time, but the fact
that it was all in groups of figures and
that it was probably being filed in small
patches as it was turned into the compli-
Gated cipher in Madrid. All of this work
had to be undone at the state department
and the message translated from the
cipher back again into good English
This occupied nearly all Of the day SO that
it was $50 o'clock before the first fair
copy of the message was turned out
There were a little less than 1000 words in
the message, for Mr.. Woodford instead of
cabling the whole of the answer to his
note, had con ented himself with re-
ducing the matter to brief outline. The
first copy was taken at once to the Presi-
dent, not being intrusted to a messenger,
but being delivered by Chief Clerk
Miohaelis.
After due opportunity had been allowed
the President to read the message an ap-
plication was made for statement of 1t
contents or nature. This was declined
| by Secretary Porter and it was said that
| under no circumstances would the corre-
spondence be made public before consider
! alton by the cabinet.
| From unofficial information that has
reached certain administration officials in
advance Of his message, as the nature of
the Spanish In reply, it is evident that in
neither language or subject matter is the
communication likely to be taken as
offensive by our government. 1t may be
| 1t is true regarded as insufficient to meet
| the issues made by Mr.. Woodford in his
note, but officials Of the state department
say that in view of what has already been
accomplished by the new Spanish cabinet
| in reforming abuses in Cuba, in remov-
ing Weyler and in projecting what ap-
pears to be liberal measure of autonomy
| our government will certainly rest until
| Congress assemblies and afford the new
| Spanish government q reasonable time to
carry out it's plans.
