passengers were but little disturbed
by the accident, most of them knowing
nothing Of the catastrophe until this
morning. The train was delayed but
one hour and a half.
An examination at daylight this
morning at the scene of the wreck,

had been broken from the switch by
means of rock or hammer and was
found lying alongside the track. The
switch was thrown third over 50

Interview With Palma.

In response to questions put to him
by the Associated Press with reference
70 the withdrawal of the opposition,
President Palma said:
u am anxious for the moderate party
TO be a strong party and. of course, am
ambitious for it's predominancei in con-
gTess as well as in the executive branch
of the government, but I shall be truly
disappointed ii it is true that the lib
eTal party has withdrawn from the
campaign because believe that a
strong, live opposition party is neces-
sary 10 the maintenance of healthy
political condition"
President Palma said, however, that
advices received by the government
from some sections of the country indi-
Gated that the liberals would exercise
the prerogative of voting. The presi-
dent declined to answer the allegations
of the liberals that the government had
in any way curtailed the electoral priv
ilege, merely remarking: You know
ii is untrue"
The attempt 10 call off the liberal
campaign has resulted in considerable
gossip TO the effect that the trend to-
ward control by the moderate party

practical dictatorship.
