CHERBOURG. France. oct 29-The
King and Queen of Spain narrowly
escaped death or serious injury i'm an
accident to their train near Cherbourg
ON their way to England eorly to-day.
Though their Majesties were unharm-

The royal party took the train at
Paris at midnight for Cherbourg,

them to England TO visit King Ed

Just as they were entering Cher

the fact that it had alowed down for

that no serious damage was done. The
