Lucerne, Aug. 22, —In answer to questions submitted to Don Carlot Count Melgar, his chamberlain, has made the fol owing statement regarding the Pretender’s uprising iu Spain : “I did not say, as has been re - poited. that my chief would a proclamation to his adherents iu Spain as soon as the perlimin anes of had been signed. I did say. and I repeit i , that he will do so when peace itself shall have been formally declared. The exact date, therefore, depends upon the time when the Paris Peace Commission shall have c >n cluded its labors. “Don Carios has not ordered the present risings in Spain, They are spontaneous outbursts, show-, ing that the spirit of the nation is with the Prince. We do not need men, Wu can count upon so many fighting men in Spain that we have de din d assistace from out -eidirs.” Paris, Aug. 22 -Count* Urbiin de Mallie, the chief representative of Don Carlos in Paris, said to day : “Certain American gentlemen have approached ma with an’ offer of 12,000,000 francs tor the Car list cause, with the understanding that they be reimbursed double that amount when Don Carlos is seared on the throne of Spain,” Di Mallie felt in honor bound n>t to reveal their names.

The roof of the last car was forced on top of the en gine oi the express and remain ed there as the only portion of the car intact. Engineer Setch* 11 and bire man Holmes, of the express, both jumped when they saw that a collision was unavoidable. Everyone of the killed and in jured was on the Mansfield train and the only explanation of the fact that the number of fatalities is not larger is that the passen gers were all in the forward end of the car, m the act of alight ing at the station. There were about thirty-eight people iu the last car, and the most of them at the time of the accident were either upon the front platform or standing by the door.
