from the American authorities that be
will not be tried for the murders and
atrocities he il alleged TO have commit
ted. Malvar is boasting that he viii be
the last insurgent TO surrender.
Plans are under discussion, with
good promise of being perfected,
for jubilee exposition In New York
city In 1905 to commemorate the phys
lcal consolidation OF the boroughs Of
the metropolis by the completion OF
the rapid transit system. IL Is further
planned to give to New York perma-
nent exposition structure, with accom-.
modations sufficiently extensive to
house the greatest conventions.
Owing TO the illness of Mrs. McKin-
ley the president has been obliged to
cancel his engagement to be present at
the exposition on the 18th OF June.
Whether or not he will visit Buffalo
later Will depend largely upon Mrs Nc
Kinley's health. The exposition ON.
Gals had planned TO have special cere-
monies at the grounds on June 13 In
honor OF the president, and IL was ex-
pected that many other distinguished
men would be there on that date.
President Taft Of the Philippine COM
mission has cabled to Secretary OF War
Root requesting him TO send 500 OF the
appointed schoolteachers, one-flfth of
whom will be women. The question OF
securing transportation for them is a
serious one. The transports have on
an average only 60 staterooms, and II
may therefore be necessary TO charter
steamers to bring the teachers here.
Accommodation will be furnished 10
the teachers In Manila until they are
assigned to the provinces.

In the wreck-The Motormen Were
Racing For swItch-Both Dead.
Two electric cars while running in
opposite directions at rate Of 40 miles
an hour ran into each other Sunday
afternoon near Albany. Five persons
We're almost instantly killed and over
40 were seriously injured.
The dead are: Frank Smith, motor
man of car No. %; William Nichols.
motorman of car No. 10: Maud kellogg
Of Round Lake, Annie Rooney of Stuy-
yesant Falls and David Mahoney, mate
on the Dean Richmond.

tut; Fred Herzog. Albany. shoulder dis
located.
Scene of the Wreck.
The scene of the accident was point
about two miles out of Greenbush, on
the line of the Albany and Hudson rail-
way. The point where the cars met
on the single track was at a sharp
curve, and so fast were both running
and so sudden was the collision that
the motormen never had time to put on
the brakes before south bound car No.
% had gone almost clean through north
bound car No. 10, with human flesh
for a buffer, and hung on the edge OF
high bluff with its load of shrieking,
manned humanity. One motorman was
pinioned up against the smashed front
of the south bound car. with both legs
severed and killed instantly, while the
other lived but few minutes.
Fully 100 men, women and children
formed huge, struggling. shrieking
pyramid, mixed with blood. detached
portions of human bodies and the
wreckage of the ears. Some of the
more slightly injured of the men. extrl-
eating themselves from the quivering
mass. began TO pull people out of the
rear ends of the two cars. and almost
every one extricated in this way was
badly injured.
The scenes were heartrendlng. The
few women and children who had es-
capped injury and death were hysterical
and added their cries 10 the shrieks of
the dying and mutilated. Men with
broken arms and bones. dislocated
joints and bloody faces tried to assist
others who were more helpless, and
there were many cases Of philosophical
bravery.
With both motormen killed II was
hard to get at the real cause of the ac-
cident. but it is pretty well determined
that Ii was caused by an attempt of the
south bound car 10 reach a second
switch instead of waiting for the north
bound car at the first siding.

AMENDMENT ACCEPTED
Cuban Convention Adopts the
Plat Law.
CAPOTE CASTS DECIDING VOTE.

Ont of Twenty-nine Delegates Pres
ent, Fourteen Opposed American
Terms - Explanation of President
Assumed to lie Official Declaration.
Havana, May 20.-The Plat amend
ment was accepted by the Cuban con-
stitutional convention yesterday by a
vote of 10 to ii. The actual vote was
IN accepting the majority report of the
committee on relations, which embod
led the amendment with explanations
Of certain clauses.
The radicals made hard fight ut the
ast moment, and Senores Portuondo.
Gomez and Tamayo bitterly arraigned
the conservatives. Senior Tamayo was
particularly vindictive and declared
hat everybody who voted in favor of
the Platt amendment was traitor to
his country. The convention compelled
him to retract this statement. On sew
oral occasions personal encounters
seemed imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than an
hour, and his speech undoubtedly won
over Senores Castro, Robau and Mandu-
ley. He appealed to the patriotism of
the delegates and rehearsed the long
fight for independence, denouncing as
perjurers all who favored the Plat
amendment on the ground that they
had sworn to draw up a constitution
for an Independent republic.
Several conservatives rose and asked
Senior Gomez to retract, but he abso-
lutely refused.
The following delegates voted against
the majority report: Gomez. Gener,
Portuondo, Lacret. Manduley. Cisneros,
Ferrer, Forum, Robau, E. Tamayo, Sill
va, Castro, Zayas and Aleman.
Senores Rivera and Bravo were alb
sent.
The convention will continue its ses-
sions, which will be devoted to draw
ing up the election law.
