the Disaster-List of the Killed
and Injured.
Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 2S.-The failure
of Night Operator George Clough at
Wallis Station to deliver orders to a
west-bound train, known as the Sun
set Limited, caused a head-end coll
lision at o'clock this morning be-
tween two passenger trains four miles
east of Tucson and six miles from
Wallis Station. At last accounts, twen-
ty bodies had been taken from the
mass of burned and charred wreckage,
and it is believed that several more
are buried in the twisted and tangled
mass of iron and steel.
The dead are:
John Bruce, Tucson, engineer.
r. Wilkie, Tucson, engineer.
George McGrath, Tucson, fireman.
j. M. Hilton, capitalist, Cambridge,
Mass.
Sixteen dead, unidentified.
Seriously injured:
Fred Donahue, Battle Creek Mich;

the exploding oil tanks of the engines.
The flames were communicated to the
cars, eleven of which were consumed.
AS soon as the news of the wreck

to the scene of the disaster This train
has just returned, bringing seventeen
of the injured. Several of the in

fatalities may reach a score.

Manager Agler said:
Telegrams we have received say
that the collision took place before

caused by the negligence of the tele-

fourteen miles east of Tucson. The

travelling on the time of another man.
The east-bound train was the Cres-

KILLED AND EATEN
BY BLACK BEARS.

Parker's three children were playing
in the edge of the woods only few
hundred yards from the house, when
the bears made their appearance. The
animals were very bold and the two
older children ran to the house, for

TWAS GREAT BRITAIN
FORCED THE ISSUE.
Suggested the Alliance Against
Venezuela,

NchCAueAA-
Washington, Jan. 2S.-The Italian
and British ambassadors and the Ger
man charge d'affaires, at joint con-
ference to-day, agreed to cable their
governments urging a prompt ac-
eeptance of Mr.. Bowen's last PROPOSE
ton to enable the lifting of the Ven-
ezuela blockade at once. In this ca
'blegram, which was sent at noon, it
was suggested that the consideration
of the details of the proposition be
postponed until after the signing of
the preliminary protocol.
Signor Mayor des Planches, the Ital-
ian ambassador, as the ranking rep
resentative of the allies, called on Mr.
Bowen this afternoon and informed
him of the dispatch of the joint cable
gram to the Powers, and expressed the
hope that it would expedite the arri-
val of the final answer.
Partial confirmation has been OBJ
tanned here of cable dispatches that
Belgium is to take prominent part in
the administration of customs re-
ceipts. Mr.. Bowen declines to dis
euss the details of his plan, however,
until the blockade has been raised.
This afternoon he gave out a brief
statement of the diplomatic debt of
Venezuela and the methods for it's flu
tures adjustment In round numbers
this debt amounted on Dec. 81, 1901, to
something over $14,0O0,000 and consist
ed of claims which had been previous
ly. adjusted. Mr.. Bowen's plan pro-
vides that 10 per cent. of the customs
receipts of all the Venezuelan ports
shall go toward the payment of this
debt.
From the highest authority, it was
learned tonight that the publication
by the London Foreign Office of the
fact that Great Britain, and not Ger
many, sought the alliance against
Venezuela was brought about by rep
reservations from the German Foreign
Office. 1t is said that Germany had
threatened to publish the diplomatic
exchanges between the German and
British foreign offices unless Great
Britain Immediately shouldered the re-
sponsibility for the alliance. This
threat was induced by the anti-Ger-
man feeling aroused in the United
States by events in Venezuelan wa
tiers.
