He denied that lie ever promised to grant reforms tn tho Philippines. General Lopez rtomlnguez declared that the whole responsibility rested upon t’he government and not upon the generals. He reminded the senate of tlhc heroic deeds of the generals in Cuba, who had died gloriously or been wouned while, lead ing their forces, and he proposed that the senate should pay homage to the army and navy. - SAGASTA ALONE EOR PEACE. Cabinet Stands Isolated on Leading Question in Spain. Madrid, September S.—The Spanish cab inet at its meeting this morning agreed to take the most stringent measures to pre vent the publication of the proceedings of the cortcs and to provide for the censor ship of telegraphic dispatches. The minister for foreign affairs. Duke Almodovar de Rio, informed his < olloagues that as a. result of the negotiations at Washington relative to the Spaniards in tli; Pl il'.ppfne Islands instructions have been sent to the Spanish consul at Hong Kong in accordance with the agreement reacned. The society for commercial union is send ing a petition to the cortes demanding tne closing of all the military school:;, Hie. cur tailment of retiring pensions; that all olli cers returning from Cuba be placed in the reserve, and that, in addition, a bud- 1 get of one million ot pesetas annually lie provided for the care of the sick and wounded Spanish soldiers returning from Hie colonies. Tile newspapers assert that the govern ment is greatly surprised and chagrined at tho attitude ot tile conservatives in Hie chamber, which indicates that Hie govern ment is isolated on questions of such mag nitude as Hie comlusion of the peace The disorderly scenes witnessed in the cliamber yesterday evening would have shamed a bull ring. Fists and sticks were shaken in tile air and invectives were to be heard on all sides. As a result several duels are expected to take place. Xt is understood here that Spain intended to bargain at the Paris peace confer ence to retain part of the J’hilippines, but Hie impression somehow prevails that a republic will be established under the pro tectorate of tl.e Cniled States, Great Brit ain and Germany. General Polavieja, the former Cap tain general of Cuba and of the Phil ippines, who has just issued a mani festo intimating that he is ready to ; place himself at the head of a neutral political party, is understood to be re cruiting a strong party of i.iscontented liberals and others with the object, it is claimed. o r ‘‘restoring the military preponderance of the government.

THE WEEKLY CONSTTTTTTTON: ATLANTA. GA.. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, 1898. EIGHTEEN IiIVES CRUSHED OUT Fast Train Dashes Into Moving Electric Oar Carrying Thirty- Five Passengers. BODIES HORRIBLY MANGLED Identification Is Utterly Impossible in Some Instances, as Mutilation Is So Complete. Cohoes, N. Y., September s.—Shortly be fore 8 o’clock tonight a trolley car of the Troy City Railway' Company was struck by the night boat special of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, at a crossing at the west end of the Hudson river bridge, which connects this city with Lansing burg. Eighteen of the thirty-five passen gers are dead, and at least ten of the remainder will die. The cars entering the city for Lansing burg were crowded with passengers re turning from a Labor Day picnic at Ren selaer park, a pleasure resort near Troy. t’arNo. 192 of the Troy City railway was tile Victim of tile disaster. It came over tlio bridge about 7:25 o’clock, laden with a merry party of people. 'J lie crossing where the accident occurred Is at a grade. Four tracks of the Delaware and Hud son road, which runs north and south at this point, cross Hie two tracks of the trol’e.'. r road. it was Hie hour when the night boat special, a train which runs soul h and connects with the New York city boat at Albany, was due to pass that point. The tracks of the street line run at a grade from the bridge to the point where the disaster occurred. In consequence of this fact and of tho frequent passage of the trains, it Iris been the rule for each motor ear conductor to stop his car and go forward to observe Hie railroad tracks and signal ills car to pro ceed if no trains were in sight. It cannot be ascertained whether Hint rule was com plied with on this occasion, tor all events prior to tile crash are forgotten by those who were involved. Car Hit in the Middle. The motor car was struck directly in the center by the engine of the train, which was going at a high speed. The ear was upon tile tracks before the train loomed in sigiit and no power on earth could have saved it- The motorman evidently saw the train approaching as lie readied the tra ’k and opened Mis controller, but in va:n. With a crash that was heard for bio as, the engine dashed into the lighter veii.cle. 'i’lie motor car parted in two, boll) sections b. Ing hurled into the air in . plint- rs. fi’he mass of humanity, for the ear was crowded to overflowing, was torn and mangled. Those in the front, of the car mil with the worst fate. The force of th" , olli- .o.i was there exp, rienead to to' greatest degree, and every human being in that section of the ear was killed. Bodies were hurled into the air and their hea .less and limbless trunks were found in some cases fifty feet from the crossing. q | , p; ot o: tne engine w i.s smashed and a mid its w reckage w< i • the maimed • ■ of two women. The passengers of the train d iffered no injury in addition to a violent shock. ’i’lie majority of the passengers of the trolley ear were young people. They in cluded many women. The injured were taken to the city hos pital and to the Continental knitting mill, the former not having sullicient ambulance service to care for them ail. The dead were placed in boxes and taken to a neighboring mill shed. Could Not Be Recognized. Many were unrecognizable. The crash was frightful in Tis results—headless wo men witli gay summer dresses, bathed in their own and the blood of others; limbs without trunks or any means of identifying to whom they belonged; women’s and men’s heads with crusned and distorted features; bodies crushed and flattened. Tile train of the Delaware and Hudson road, immediately after the ae<ldent. pro ceeded to Troy. The engineer stated that he did not see the car until he was upon il. Hi; tried to prevent his train from striking the . ar. but his efforts were fruitless. His train was going at a very high rate ot sliced at tile time, lie was some minutes late and was trying to make up lost time. In consequence of the caution taken by the trolley road to ascertain if tile tra ks were clear at this crossing, the engineers of the trains have always felt safe in run ning by at a. high rate of speed. ’i’lie en gineer says that the first lie knew that tlio car was coming was when it hove in i sight at the corner of the street at which j th" crossing is situated. He was but a I short distance from the ear at the time, i He thinks that the motorman, when he saw I the train was upon him, tried to get beyond the danger line, 'i’lie grade of this crossing and the speed at which ills car was going also made it impossible for him to stop be fore he reached the Delaware anil Hudson tracks. It was the front end of his ear that caught the crash ana lie was killed outright. List of the Dead. Troy. New York. September G.
