HUNDREDSKILLED HURT
Collapse Of New Water Reservoir at
Madrid.
THE PEOPLE ARE ENRAGED.
Engineers and Contractors Held RESPONSIBLE
Women Parade Streets Carrying Black
Flags-Serious Disorders Feared. Partlcu-
larry II Authorities Try to Prevent Funeral
Professions.

Madrid (By Cable -Four hundrei
persons were killed or injured by the col
lapse of new water reservoir in coui Sc
of construction Fifty bodies have al
ready been recovered. The Prince OF
the Asturias, the War Minister, the Gov
ernor of Madrid and representative of
the King has gone to the spot to super
intend the work of rescue.
Troops sent to the scene are engaged
in helping the sufferers and recovering
the bodies of the dead.
King Alfonso was shooting at Cara
banchel when he heard of the disaster,
and Immediately repaired to the scene.
His arrival was the signal for ovations
from the crowds. The King was deeply
moved, and insisted upon personally SUI
pervising the relief measures.
Working parties are gradually remov'
ing the debris and continue to recover
mutilated bodies, fragments of flesh an5
limbs.
A workman who was injured says the
collapse was so sudden and complete
that it was impossible to tell what hap
pened. The men at work on the reser-
voir, however, anticipated trouble, as a
fortnight ago three arches collapsed and
cracks developed in four others.
The public hold the engineers and con-
tractors responsible for the catastrophe,
into which the cabinet has ordered a
strict inquiry.
AS the day passed the indignation and
excitement increased and serious dis
orders are feared, especially on the oc-
casion of the funerals of the victims
should the authorities undertake to pre-
vent professions passing through the CEN
ter of the city.
Already incipient demonstrations aic
evidencing, directed against those held
tc be responsible for the disaster.
Professions of women carrying black
flags are parading the district in which
the disaster occurred. A great crowd
marched to the center of the city and
forced the merchants to close their es-
adjustments as sign of mourning. The

tirely at standstill.
TIL. work of recovering the dead and
injured is hampered by enormous crowds
of angry men and wailing women.
The estimates of the number of per
sons injured are increasing. Nearly al
the injuries are of a serious nature. The
ambulance stations are already over
flowed, but assistance continues to ar
rive from every direction.
The structure which collapsed was a
huge quadrilateral one, $50 by $50 metres,
built on arches. The disaster was due
to the weakness of the supporting pill
lars.
As the greater part of the debris is
under water, the work of extricating the
victims is most difficult.
Military guards are posted all abnu.

ment has authorized the opening of a
relief fund, and at meeting of the cab
net it was decided to appoint a mixed
civilian and military commission to es-
,ablish responsibility for the disaster

ments were buried alive as result of
the earthquake at the hill station of
Dharmsala, according to the latest infor-
nation from that place. The report
adds that it is impossible to rescue the
entombed men.

in procuring news from Dharmsala. The
telegraph staff at the station there was
practically wiped out, and a temporary
office has been opened 10 miles from the
town, but the facilities are most ,scanty.

been devastated. and it is reported that
the town of Kangra was reduced to ruins
with great loss of life. No confirmation
of the report is obtainable, as the tele-
graph station at Kangra is wrecked.

about 5000 inhabitants) has been leveled
to the ground, and that not single
building is left standing. This announce
ment has not been confirmed.

missing.
Twenty-nine women and children and
II camp followers were also killed and
