not be considered as final.
Madrid newspapers publish assertions
that the disaster had been foreseen by en-
sineers as we'll as by workmen. 1t is
now recalled that the bad condition of
the soil on which the reservoir was con-
structed caused keen opposition and nu-
merous criticisms when the scheme was
being discussed in the Cortes.
Workmen who have been questioned
say that they were compelled to build too
rapidly with materials so defective that
a disaster was bound to happen.
Many heart-rending incidents and pain
full scenes are reported. Ten of those
who were rescued alive have gone mad.
Crowds of workmen and women carry
ing black flags forced all the theatres to
close, Saturday night.
King Alfonso had a telephone wire laid
from the scene of the disaster to the pal
ance and by that means was kept con
