GUNBoATs UP THE WHITE NILE.
The Announcement From KhartOum
Regarded As Significant.

London, Sept. IA dispatch from Khar-
toum, announcing that five British gum
boats have pushed up the White Nile, Is
regarded as highly significant. The sirdar
telegraphed on Sunday that the condition
of the bank of the Mile made 1t impossible
TO utilize the gunboats in the pursuit of
Khalfa Abdulla.
The only inference, therefore, Is that the
gunboats have now gone TO join hands
with Maj Mcdonald, who is now on his
way northward from Uganda, an opera
ton which has long been contemplated by
the government.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor Of

was recently called upon to investigate
reports that the Spanish prisoners taken
by the insurgents in the Philippines were
subjected to cruel treatment.

Sixty Men PreCipitated Into
the ST. Lawrence River.
THIRTY WORKMEN DROWNED
Foundation Of a Pier Of the Inter
national Bridge Gives Way.

Hogansburg, N. Y, Sept. 6.-AbOut
noon two south spans of the Inter
national bridge of the New York,
Ottawa Railway, under cOnstruc-
tion across the st. Lawrence
river, about three miles above st.
Regis Indian village, fell without
warming, with sixty men at work on
the bridge, all being thrown into
the river, some sixty feet below.
over thirty were picked up and
taken tn Cornwall hospital and
t,yenty-seven are now missing.
The bridge consists of three spans
of which two were completed and
tbe third was nearly completed
when the south pier gave way it's
foundation, causing both spans to
fall into sixty feet of water, taking
its load of human freight with 1T.
The names of the killed and
drowned cannot at present be as
certained.
The scene of the accident is located
about four miles from Hogansburg, above
the ST. Regis Indian reservation.
The bridge that gave way was being
built across the ST. Lawrence river at the
foot of Long saulte Rapids. near Rein
harts Island.
The water at this point is known to be
as swift as in any part of the river.
The immediate cause of the disaster and
the giving way of the span of the bridge
seems to have been from the washing
away of one of the large piers.
Late reports from Cronwal hospital
saws thirty-three men have been taken
out Of the river and transferred to the
hospital Eighteen of them have since
died.
The latest information concerning to-
days tragedy makes it probable that the
death list will reach thirty. Many of the
men are terribly injured.
As far as can be learned eighty-two men
reported for work this morning. OF this
list only thirty-eight of the number have
actually been accounted for.
Cornwall, Ontario, Sept 6.-An eye-wit-
ness of The fall of the New York and OF
lava Railroad bridge, says he was sitting
on the bank of the river watching the
busy workmen above him, when, without
warning, there came a fearful crash.
Two spans of the bridge collapsed, the
immense mass of timber and iron dropped
down, and the agonizing shrieks of the
men, who were being crushed in the
wreck, were drowned by the rushing
waters.
Then he saw bodies coming to the sur
face and the work of rescue began. This
was helplessiy inadequate, their being only
few boats in the vicinity, and very few
men who would undertake to swim out
into the turbulent waters. Many who
might have been saved were drowned be-
Iore help could reach them
About fifty of the men employed on the
span were Americans, who came here 10
work for the Phenix Bridge Company. The
remainder were mostly Indians, who act
a as assistants. Every man on the H.
vision went down with the wreck. Many
