TWENTY-FIVE DEAD IN WRECK.
Several Of the More Seriously Hurt Succumb-
cd Ia the Hospitals.

Baltimore, Nd. (SpeciaD Twenty
hve killed, 20 badly injured and two
slightly hurt is the result of a hcad-ou
collision on the Western Maryland Rail
road which occurred at 6 o'clock p NJ.
about one and a half miles south Of
Patapsco Station, which is about 10
miles south of Westminster.
All of the dead and injured were em-
ployes of the Western Maryland Rail
road, the dead having been engaged in
wrecking work, and were on the way to
their homes in Western Maryland when
the accident occurred.
The injured were brought to this city
at 1890 o'clock and were removed to the
City Hospital and ST. Joseph's Hos
pital, where they received prompt medi-
cal attention. The train bearing the
dead was sent on to Westminster
The cause of the accident was a head
on collision between a heavily laden
freight train of about IS cars drawn by
Engines AZ and AZ, which was coming
toward Baltimore, and passenger train
No. 5, which left Hillen Station, in this
city, at 5 o'clock. The trains. both Of
which were going at good speed, crashed
together at S.55 o'clock, and just where
the blame lies must necessarily be fixed
by the officials of the Western Mary
land Railroad and a coroner's jury of
inquest, which will be held in Carroll
county near the scene Of the accident.
According to the statements made by
the railroad officials Sunday, the wreck
was due, as far as can be learned, to a
fatal case of forgetfulness on the part
OF the engincmen and conductor of the
freight train, who, after the passage of
train No. II, which leaves Baltimore
at AIS for Union Bridge, seemed to be
i:sPFse ssed with see se iddea deea mat me No
passenger train had also passed.
The authority for this statement comes
from Rear Brakeman Lynch. of the
freight train, who heard the conversa-
ton held by the engineers and conductor
of the freight train while the latter was
standing at Gorsuch Siding, and by
good fortune escaped with his life to
tell the tale.

mas Message to the People.

Havana (Specia) The body of Gen.
MaNimo Gomez, who died Saturday, has
been lying in state in the principal hall
OF the palace since 7 o'clock. A guard
Of honor surrounds the casket. There
was a continuous stream of people defil-
ing past the body all day, eager to take
last look at the old revolutionist, to
whom Cuba owes so much In this,
however, they were disappointed, as the
face was covered. 1t is understood that
this was done at the request of General
Gomez before he died. There were an
immense number of wreaths from Ha-
vana and other places. President Palma
has given up his living quarters in the
palace to the family of General Co
mcz.
The Official Gazette contains a mes
sage from President Palma TO the Cuban
people. In it he says that Major Cen
eral Maxine Gomez, chief of the liber-
ating army, is dead. There is not a
single heart in Cuba which does not
feel wounded by so rude a blow The
loss is irreparable. All the nation is in
mourning, and as all are identified with
the same sentiment OF profound sorrow
the government need not stimulate it in
order that it be universal.

GERMANY'S SUSPICIOUS.
Learns France Had No Designs on Morocco
Sovereignty.

Paris (By Oable) An international
conference for the consideration of the
affairs of Morocco is now practically as
sured as the result of the conversations
between Premier Rouvier and Prince
Radolin, the German ambassador, and
attention is now directed to defining the
scope of the conference.
Although the acceptance of the con-
ference gives a certain measure of sue
cess TO German diplomacy, yet NJ. Rou-
vier energies from the controversy with
the advantage of having brought Ger
many TO exactly define the scope OF the
conference and so TO rid it of the obiec-
tion of being a menace TO French inter
ests.
Germany has suspected that France
had designs on the sovereignty of Mo
rocco, but the negotiations disclose that
France had not questioned this sover-
eighty. Similarly it was disclosed that
France had not designed TO interrupt
the present territorial or political status
quo of Morocco. This appears TO have
been one of Germany's chief apprehen-
sionS, as any change in Morocco'S status
quo might involve an ultimate French
protectorate similar TO that over Tunis.
With both governments favorable 10
the sovereignty of Morocco and to her
territorial and political status quo, il
remains for the conference to adjust the
equality of commercial rights, as Ger
many desires this assurance from an
international conference instead of
through the operations of the Anglo
French agreement. Therefore, the con-
ference is not likely to consider changes
in the political status of Morocco, but
rather internal reforms and commercial
privileges.
A dispatch to the Temps from Metz
denies the scmi-official statements rela-
tive to quiet prevailing among the mill
tary forces along the frontier 1t says
there is much activity on both sides,
with great interest centered on the re-
suit of the diplomatic negotiations.

Morocco.

Paris (By Cable) Germany has con-
sented to negotiate -the Morocco ques-
ton with France. The French govern
ment has indicated its willingness 10
meet the German demands in concilfa-
tory spirit. An international conference
will likely follow, but it will be on lines
previously ageed on by Germany and
France, and will not open the whole
question of the destiny of Morocco, as
the Sultan has expected it to do.
France agrees that the status quo shall
be maintained, and that the Sultan's
sovereignty shall be unimpaired. France
cherishes hopes that the terms of the
Anglo-American- -Spanish-Italian agree
ment as to Morocco may be largely
maintained, but this is not the German
view
In word, France is determined at all
costs 20 avoid war
Germany's consent 70 negotiate di-
rectly with France may be interpreted
as Willingness TO abate her provoca-
tive attitude and at least ses es--postponc
a war crisis. Tie French government
hopes that England will not oppose a
settlement upon any terms possible.
The French reply to other German
demands is not known yet, but there is
the highest authority for believing that
Premier Rouvier will meet the German
Emperor's wishes in as conciliatory a
spirit as possible.
