of Boston, on the Providence division of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, four persons were killed out
right and thirty-eight seriously injured
and besides there were several score bruis-

press, going at thirty-nve miles an hour
overlook the Boston and New London To-
cal express while it was stopping at the
Sharon station, and the locomotive crash
ed into the rear passenger coach, smash
ing it to kindling and causing the tele-
scoping of several other ears on the train.
Failure of the signal system. which
should have shown the engineer Of the
second train n danger signal, is supposed
to have caused the collision. Sharon is
located just around curve, and the crash
came without moments warning. The
rear car of the New London train WAS
completely wrecked, and several Of the
dead were frightfully mutilated. Several
of the wounded are so seriously injured
that their lives are dcspaired Of.

four Of the crack vessels of the North At

the near future. They will go by way
of the Suez canal and will reach Asiatic

the eastern squadron have not yet been
completed, but it is known that the bat
tleship Oregon, the fast cruisers New
York and Brooklyn, and, possibly, the
battleship Indiana, are to be overhauled
and put in shape for the trip. The osten-
sible reason for sending four big fighting
vessels to the far east is that Admiral

companied Gen. Shafter to Cuba as the
representative of the Cuban army, return
ed few days ago on one of the Govern
ment transports TO Montauk Point, and
has submitted his report to the Cuban
junta in New York. Gen. Castillo made
a statement concerning the disagreement
at Santiago between Gen. Shafter and
Gen. Calixto Garcia, in which he alleges
that the American commander volun-
tarily promised 10 turn over the city to
the Cubans when it was captured and
then broke that promise. He says that
all the trouble could have been avoided if
Gen. Shafter had been less brusque in his
manner. Gen. Castillo makes denial
of all the charges that have been made
against the Cubans.

AWFUL SUFFERING IN HAVANA.
Condition of Things There Reported
as Horrible.

Reports from Havana picture the con-
lition of things there as horrible. Provis-
ions and other necessaries of life are very
scarce, and prices continue high, The CO.
lonial government imposed the highest
customs duties. which continue in force,
making prices high and rendering the sit
uation of the poor very painful. The free
kitchens which have been established in
Havana daily furnish about 10000 per-
sons with food, but owing to the great
number of poor in the city who are with
out food of any sort, the amount of sup
plies handled by these kitchens is quite
insufficient to relieve the distress to any
great extent. Women and children lie
about the streets. pale and emaciated, and
looking more like rorpses than living be-
