hurt as the result Of wreck at $40
o'clock Sunday afternoon on the Roches-
ter & Lake Ontario railroad, better
known as the Bay railroad, at Rosen-
bauer's Corners, about one-half mile
north of the city, when two cars on an
excursion train filed with passengers
left the track while rounding curve at
full speed, and were completely
wrecked. The dead are: John Hell
berg, aged 20; J. Tierney, "a; unknown
man.
There is grade about 100 yards from
the corner of North avenue and Ridge
road, and when this grade was
reached the speed Of the train in
creased perceptibly. Down the grade
swept the train, it's speed increasing
constantly. When the far curve was
reached the engine rounded it with
startling rapidity. Next to the engine
was the closed carriage, divided into
two compartments, and when it reached
the curve it veered over to the north and
rode around the curve on the left
wheels. 1t had gone but a part of the
bend in the track when it left the rails
and shot straight ahead. There was
sudden crash as the couplings between
the engine and coach were severed, and
then the coach again veered over and
plowed through the earth for several
feet before dropping on it's side in the
front of the Ridge Road hotel.
When the first coach left the track
the engine sped on, and the other
coaches were forced off the track. The
closed coach, which was overturned,
had a partition that divided the front
part from the rear. The front apart
ment was smoking compartment. In
it were several men and, standing in the
entrance, were two women and a little
girl. These were thrown into a jumbled
mass over against the roof of the car,
and were pinioned under the seats and
the partition of the car, which was torn
to splinters. John Hilberk was stand
ing OH the platform between the second
and third cars when the crash came.
and was caught between the two cars
and crushed 10 death. His body was re-
moved with great liihculty and sent to
the morgue.

Manila, April 29.-Col. Arguelles and
Lieut., Bernal, members of insurgent
Gen. Luna's staff, arrived yesterday and
consulted with Gen. Otis regarding
peace negotiations.
The rebel colonel informed Gen. Otis
that he had been directed by. his chief
to say that he desired to end the war.
1t was necessary for Aguinaldo, they
said, to bring the matter before the
Filipino congress, and that body had
been called to meet on May to consider
terms of peace. It was desired that the
American commander should direct
that there be no further aggressive
measures on the part of his forces for
two weeks, in order that the congress
could be brought together and the inn
portant matter discussed.
Gen. Otis Replies.
Gen. Otis heard the statements of the
native soldiers with the greatest cour-
tesy. When he replied it was with an
impressive sternness. He said:
Tell your general that he must lay
down his arms without any reservation
whatever. I cannot recognize the Filipino
peace, surrender. You will be allowed per-
feet amnesty. There will be no punish
ment for acts already committed. America
forg1ves you. The proclamation issued by
my government is sincere, and you shall
