Talks Freely of the Conditions In the
Santiago Campaign.
New York dispatch: The World
prints an interview with General
Shafter, in which he is represented as
saying: "At Santiago we had to deal
with things as they were, not as they
should have been. OF course there
was sickness. But nobody was neg
lected. Doctors were scarce at first,
but we had boat loads of them as soon
as they could get there. Doctors got
sick like the rest. They were over
worked and exhausted, but their
ability was unquestionable. Look at
the low percentage of deaths from
wounds 1t never was lower in any
war. The men who ordered a summer
campaign in fever infested country
are responsible for the natural and
unavoidable consequences. Anaes-
thetics were plentiful. twas the heat
that was SO deadly, and the rains.
Right in the midst of the most torrid
heat shower would fall. 1t would
drench everybody without cooling the
air. In few minutes. under the sun
again, every man would be steaming.
Men of the strongest constitution sue
cumbed."

ANOTHER TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
Two Spans Of Bridge Fall--Eighteen

Two Spans Of Bridge Fall-Eighteen
Dead and Twenty-seven Missing.
!. HoaAHsBuRs, N. T., Sept. Two
south spans of the internationalb bridge
of the New York & Ottawa railroad,
now under construction across the St.
Lawrence river about three miles
above st. Regis Indian village, fell
without warning with sixty men ut
work on the bridge, all being thrown
into the river, some sixty feet below.
Thirty-three were picked up and taken
to Cornwall hospital. eighteen of
whom have since died. and twenty
seven are now missing. The bridge
consists of three spans, of which two
were.Acompleted and the third was
nearly completed, when the south pier
gave way at it's foundation, causing
both spans to fall into sixty feet of
water, taking its load of human freight
with it. The immediate cause of the
disaster and the giving way of the
span of the bridge seems to have been
the washing away of the large piers.

CONSPIRACY AGAINST GEAR.

Explosion Of Gas.

His Assassination Planned by Terrific
Explosion Of Gas.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The Worlds
London special says: A report is pub
lished here that daring plot to assas.
sinate the car of Russia was discov-
cred at Moscow last week. The plan
: of the conspirators was to allow gas to
escape into house on the route of the
cars procession until the atmosphere
in every room had become saturated.
One of their number was to remain in
the house and strike light when the
car was passing, in the expectation
that the house would be blown to
pieces and the car killed by the flying
debris. The conspirator would perish
himself as sacrifice to the cause.
This duty fell to the lot of one Alex
auder Kolanoff. In his agitation,
Kolanoff seems to have made an error,
as the explosion was mis-timed. When
it occurred the staff officer and his
wife were driving past the house, and
they, instead of the car, were killed.
Their coachman will probably die OF
his injuries, and about thirty other
persons were more or less seriously
injured. Kolanoffis mangled body
was found among the ruins. The
car and czarina drove by just twenty.
five minutes later. Many arrests were
made in Moscow, but the Russian press
has been forbidden to refer to the
matter.

LONDON. Sept. 9.-The British war
office has received a dispatch from
General Kitchener, dated at Omdur-
man, saying that ovei 500 Arabs
mounted on camels were dispatched
after the fugitive Khalifa Abdullah.
The dervish leader was reported to be
moving with such speed that some of
his wives had been dropped along the
road followed by him. The dispatch
adds: "Officers have been counting
the dervish bodies on the field and
report the total number Of dead found
at about 10000. From the numbers of
wounded who have crawled to the
river and town, it is estimated that
10000 were wounded. Besides the
above, between 800 and 400 dervishes
were killed in Omdurman when the
town was taken. I have as prisoners
between three and four thousand fight
ing men,"

Electric Car struck BY an Express Train
Many Killed.
IA CoHoEs, N. Y, Sept. GA trolley
car OF the Troy City Railroad Company
was struck by the night boat special
OF the Delaware 4 Hudson railroad at
q crossing at the west end Of the Hud'
son river bridge, which connects
Cohoes with Lansingburg, and its load
OF human freight was hurled into the
air. Eighteen Of the IS passengers are
dead and atlesst 10 Of the remainder
will die. The crossing where the acct
dent occurred is at q grade. Four
tracks OF the Delaware & Hudson road
cross the two tracks of the trolley
road. The tracks of the street line
run at a grade from the bridge to the
point where the disaster took place.
The motor ear was struck directly in
the center by the engine of the train,
which was going at high rate OF
speed. The accident came without the
slightest warning. The car was upon
the tracks before the train doomed in
sight. The motorman evidently saw
the train approaching as he reached
the track, and opened his controller,
! but in vain. With crash that was
heard for blocks the engine struck the
lighter vehicle. The motor car parted
in two, both sections being hurled
into the air in splinters. The mass OF
humanity. for the car was crowded to
overlooking, was torn and mangled.
Those in the front of the car met with
the worst fate, and every human being
in that section of the car was killed.
