REWARDOFFERED
For Persons Who Wrecked Rail- wayTrain in Hopes of Killing
 Members of Royal Family
ARMY. OFFICERS HURT

Berlin, Sept. 4.-The Prussian railway administration has offered a reward for the discovery of the per sons who wrecked the St Peterburg- Berlin express between Strausberg and Rehfelde, near Berlin, shortly before midnight, resulting in Il per sons being injured. Presumably 1t was the work of anarchists or Rus sian revolutionists, who hoped to kill member of the ', Russian imperial family, who is said to have been on board the train. e.a- .4 -'
 The train was derailed, several cars were telescoped and they after wards caught fire. An examination of the scene of the wreck at daylight showed that the bolts had been re- moved from the fish plates of a fifty | foot rail, resulting in, the, latter be- coming deranged after the locomotive 1 had passed over 1t. The persons in jured were mostly inhabitants of Der | lin, postal clerks, commercial travel CTS and two army officers. It does not appear that any Russian of high rank was passenger on the train but the Grand Duke Nicholas Nicho. laievitch with a staff of six officers is expected to arrive here tomorrow on his way to the German army maneuvers, when he will be the guest of Emperor William. The off cials of the Prussian railroads arc unusually alert at present owing tc the frequent accidents which have recently occurred.

 Antwerp. Sept 1.-The strike situa. ton is now still more alarming, thanks to the. total absence of protection for property and free labor, and indigna- tion is running high against the au- thorities.

One policeman has been nor tally wounded, and five children and one woman have been severely hurt. At certain hours the lives of all citi- zens are endangered. One shipbroker had to seek refuge from revolver shots. Many steamers are compelled to re- main inactive here on account of the threats of the rioters who have wreck ed parts of the machinery of one yes sel, the Malatanbron. and who boarded the steamer Lysgravel and maltreated her captain.

France Is Shocked.

Paris, Sept. 4.-News of Monday s engagement at Cassablanca has shocked as we'll as surprised France. The fighting proves that the Moroc- can situation is a grave one and that although France is continually victorious ir the battles fought, the resistence of the Moors may neces- sitate an enlargement of the allied forces in or6er to bring the fighting to an end.
 About six thousand Moors partici- pated in Mondays fighting but they were repulsed on all sides and sui fered eight hundred killed. Garbed fantastically and mounted on white horses and carrying banners they made a spectacular picture as they swept down the hills. They charged to within four hundred yards of the French camp, when the army under General Drude were given the orders to open fire. The Moors were shot from their horses and defeated on every side the remainder soon quit the field, leaving the ground strewn with corpses.

MANSFIELD'S ESTATE
Not so Large as Many People Thought - Life Insurance
 of $60,OOO.

New York, Sept. 4.-The contents of the will left by Richard Mansfield have been made public here by Irving M. Dittenhoeffer, who was in charge of MT Mansfeld's legal affairs.
 The will was made in 1894 and af- ter providing for the payment of all just debts left by MT Mansfield the entire estate, both real and personal, is left to Mrs Mansfield, who also is made the sole executrix.
 AS the will was made in 1894. which was before the birth of MT Mansfield's son, George Gibbs, the boy will take his share of the estate as If the actor died without a will. The will, which is brief, will be probated on Friday.
 MT Dittenhoeffer was unable to say much concerning the size of the es- tate, but it is certain that 1t is much smaller than it was originally thought to be. The insurance on MT Mansfield's life, which was given as S2oO,000, turns out to be $6O,OOO, $4O,0O0 of which goes to the widow and the remainder to the estate, the value of which is given as $5O,O00.
 MT Dittenhoeffer said that for the last ten years all that MT Mansfield accumulated either in real or person. al property had been placed at once In the name of his wife. The house at 316 Riverside drive and the Con- necticut farms all were transferred to Mrs Mansfield immediately after their purchase
 All plays and manuscripts, as we'll as all stock held by MT Mansfield in the Richard Mansfield company, are left to the widow.
