time he is said to be at La Boquilla,
about fifty five miles southeast of Safe

heading. The Americans are also re-
norted to have passed Satevo and to be
well to the south Of that place.

The switch led to a decline down

Grafton the work7train was plung-

The engineer jumped to safety
but the lunas on the cars strove
hard to diSsuade the laborers from
following his example, moving
among the panic-stricken men and
women and assuring them that
there was no danger and that the
train would surely remain upright.
Seized with fear. a number of the
occupants of the cars would I'M
doubtedly have jumped from the
train had they not been restrained
by the lunas.
Boy and Girl Leap To Death
AS it was, a Filipino boy and a
Spanish girl, who were travelling in
the third car, failed to heed the
warning of the luna and, claSping
hands, both jumped to the ground.
The boy and girl landed on a
muddy slope and before they could
gain footing they rolled under
the wheels of the oncoming cars
and were crushed to death in the
sight of their fcllowlaborerS. Both
bodies were frightfully mangled.
When the momentum of the train
decreased on striking level ground,
the engine and cars came to a stop,

must have been opened some time

why he jumped from his engine,
said that it looked like certain death
