MANY KILLED IN
PENNSYLVANIA WRECK
Two Sections of a Crowded Excur-
sion Train Collide Near
Reading,
FEW DETAILS OF THE DISASTER
At Least n Dozen Deaths and Maybe
Many More-.- Several Score
Are Seriously In
,jured.

Reading, Pa, May ia collision
of passenger trains occurred on the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad at
Exeter, about six miles south of this
city, last night, ana n great number
of people were killed and injured.
There is no telegraph Office at Exeter,
and details therefore are difficult to
obtain at this writing. The number
killed is variously stated to be from
fifteen to twenty-five.
Fully fifty others are injured. The
regular express train from Pottsvilla
for Philadelphia connected at this sta
ton in Reading with a train from Ilar-
risburg which was crowded with eX-
cursionists who had been to the state
capital To witness the ceremonies in
connection with the unwilling of the
Hartranft monument.
Many of the Harrisburg passengers
at Reading went aboard the Philadel.
phia express, but it being found that
all could not be accommodated, it was
decided to send an extra train to Phil
adelphia to run as the second section
of the express. The extra train left
twenty minutes later than the express.
At Exeter the express stopped for or
ders, and while standing still the extra
train crashed into it while moving ut
great speed. Three of the rear cars
of the express were telescoped and the
first car OF the extra train was also
wrecked. The passengers in these
cars were terribly mangled, many be-
ing killed outright, while others had
limbs and bodies manned. Word was
at once sent to Reading, and IA special
train with physicians and nurses was
SEN to the scene as quickly as it could
possibly be put in readiness.

Germany Will Look On
SAMOAN OUTBREAK DOES NOT
AFFECT TEUTONIC PHLEGM.
No Doubt in Washington That Our Ad-
rniral Will Be Sustained-Confer-
ence at the Capital.

Washington, March 30.-The serious
condition of affairs in Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout the
day, and there We're conferences az the
White House between the President and
Secretary Hay, and at the State Depart
ment between the Secretary ana the
British Ambassador, and Baron Srcck
Won SteInberg, first Secretary nf the
German Embassy. But out of it all not
a word of additional information was
= contributed from any official source. The
only authoritative statemnt came from
the Navy Department, giving n brief
dispatch from Admiral Kautz.
This threw no light ON the latest out
break and owing to a tangle or dates
it served only to further involve the of
fetal mystery. In view of the fact that
the fighting was widespread and long
continued, and that the Foreign Offices
at London and Berlin had ben officially
advised of the affair, it was regarded
as somewhat strange that the Sta.e and
: Navy Departments should be entirely
wlshout information of bomDa.dmcnt
by an American Admiral. 3Fp 70 the
close of office hours it was stated that
nothing had come from any of our rep
resemtatives in Samoa dealing with the
outbreak of hostilities The calls of Sir
Julian and Barren Sternberg were
mainly for information. for at neither
of the Embassies had there been re-
port of the occurrence, Or instruction
up to the. timH of the calls.
Admiral Kautz acted within his in
structicms 1t is believed that he corr
cluded after consultation with Captain
Sturdee. of the Porpoise, the senior
British naval office and the United
Stats and British Consuls that a state
of anarchy existed which called fer ac-
tion. The fact that the edicts Of the
chief justice were disiegarlal and were
ignored although sustained 5s tEa repre-
sentative of two of rlle Governments.
made such a course Imperative.
There is no doubt. with the facts now
at hand, that Admiral Kautz will be sis-
tanned by the Uni1 d States Govern
ment.
The dispatch from Admiral Kautz re-
ferred to above is as follows.
Auckland, March 29th.
.'Secretary of the Navy, Washington.
The situation is improving since tele

AS will be observed, it contains no de-
tails concerning the reported trouble at
-AIia. Even the date on which it was
dispatched from Apia is not given, but
it is presumed that it left Samoa on the
23rd, the date upon which the steamer
which conveyed the press dispatches
frcm Apia to Auckland sailed.

Admiral Kautz refers. was not given out

SERENE CONFIDENCE FELT
Washington. March 3O.-Up to the
close of office hours the War Depart
ment had received nothing to show the
conditions of affairs before Malolos to-
day. As the American army draws near
TO the city, official interest becomes
more acute. for it is felt the assault on
the city cannot he deferred many hours.
There is no tension in official quarters.
no excitement or apprehension, but ON
tba contrary a serene confidence that
American arms will be victorious. The
only anxiety is as TO the extent of the
victory, as it is hoped that ii will be of
such a character as to break the back
bone of the insurrection.
Some fear Aguinaldo will des rt and
fire MaIolos without a decisive conflict.

tion i'll Holstein. But a well informed
individual says the Goverpment here is
skeptical as to Admiral Kautz's instruc-
tions He adds that the instructions
for bombardns. mt We're based on the
British and American claims that Mataa-
fiji was contravening the Samoan act.
But, the correspondents informant
points out, the contraventiom was not
specified and the Government presumes
that if the act was really infringed Herr
Ross, the German Consul, would also
have protested, as his Government here
instructed him to strictly conform to
the act.
The assertion that Herr Rose protest
ed against the deposition of the provis-
ional government is doubted here, as.
it is claimed, Herr Rose was instructed
not to identify himself with Mataafa
more closely than the representatives of
the other powers.
There is considerable curiosity in this
city as to the effect the outbreak viii
have upon the attitude of the United
States and Great Britain. but the view
remains that the final setlment will be
in no way changed by the joint action
of the three Cabinets.
The semi-ofiicial Post comments
calmly upon the new situation and says
that Germany will remain neutral.

Fayal. Azore Islands, March 30.-The
United States cruiser Raleigh, Captain
JOS b. Coglan, from Manila on De
cember 18th is coaling here, will coal
at bermuda on April Sth and expects
to reach New York on April 10Th.
The Raleigh has been having stormy
weather ON the Atlantic, but has been
behaving splendidly and proves to be a
good sea boat. All are well ON board.
This is the first of Admiral Dewey 5
squadron of warShips to be bound for
home She has on board a number Of
men who belonged to the crew of tie
flagship Olympia.
Many changes in the personnel of the
Raleigh have been necessitated since the
battly of Manila. She participated in all
the movements about the Philippine Is
lands, an the battle of Manila Bay, the
capture of the Corrcgidor forts, the cap
ture of the gunboat Cailao, the lombard
ment and capture of Subig, and the bonn
bardment of Malate fort, forcing the sur
render of Manila.
After leaving Manila on December
10Th the Raleigh stopped at Singapore
Colombo, Bombay, Alden, Port Said,
Alexandria, Malta, Algiers and Gibral-
tar.
In all the British colonies the officials
of the British army and navy and the
civilian population gave the American
WarShip an enthusiastic welcome, show
ing her officers and crew every form of
courtesy. Dinners with American deco
rations and American national music
We're given to Captain Coghlan and his
officers everywhere, i'll marked difference
to the reception of the Raleigh on her
outward passage two years ago.
Governors, generals and admirals aEd
other high officials all wished to visit
and sinspect the ship.
The Raleigh still has her war paint
on. AT Singapore she met Spanish
transport having on board troops and
sailors from Manila. Although flying IL
warship's pennant, the Spanish ship low
cred her colors and permission was
granted to the Spaniards to visit the Raj
eigh, where they fraternized with the
American sailors who gave them much
needed food and clothing. Many of the
Spaniards showed the Americans wounds
inflicted upon them by the shells of the
American fleet.
The quarantine from Bombay was
waived at Alden.
At the Island of Malta in the Mediter-
ranean, the Raleigh met the British Med
iterranean squadron, consisting of ten
battleships and a number of cruisers.
The British sailors extended a most cor
dial welcome to the Americans, and the
sailors of the fleet and the soldiers of
the garrison entertained the crew of
the Raleigh ashore, the best of feeling
prevailing.
During her stay at Malta, the Raleigh
was crowded with British red coats and
blue jackets. The American officers
were entertained at Cairo by United
States Consul Harrison, and all the
prominent British and Egyptian officials
were present.
The French, at Algiers, showed a
marked difference. There was no re-
ception except from British and Ameri-
can residents, although the French Off
cials We're polite.
The Raleigh, in two years, has cruised
$4,000 knots.
