It in eatimated that of the 12.** paa•engerti 011 board the 111 fated train fully 100 lost their live*, either'unde the water* of a raging torrent doe to a cloudburst or beneath the wreckage. Two. carload* of human freight plunged Into the raging tom-nt that destroyed the trestle. Two *lee|ilng car* and the dining car stopped at the brink of the hungry cluuuu Riled with f boiling, seething current that quickly muffed out probably a hundred live*. So quietly had the catastrophe been enacted that tho occupant* of the three cars remaining on the track did not realise that an accident had occurred until they alighted from the train. Then they were utterly powerles* to render aaalMance to the victims who had disappeared In the rushing water*. The wreck prove* to hiH» been one of the greatest railroad disasters In the history of the country. Two crowded passenger cars and a baggage car were engulfed in the torrent that tore out the trestle spanning Steele'* hollow, otherwise known as Ilry creek, and no far a* known only throe of the occupants of these car* escaped death. How many perished probably never will be definitely ascertained, for the treacherous Bands are drifting over the bodies. Latest reports from the scene of the wreck say that sixty-three bodies hare been recovered and that no more are now In sight. The oeaxch continues, and bodies will In all probability he token out farther don Abe stream, where they were washed cad corerod by the mud and aaod. The bridge went don under the weight of the train, and baggage car, smoker and chair can were precipitated Into the torrent. The engine got almost aero**, but fell back Into the water. * The body of Engineer Hlniuan waa found 2U0 feet down the river. All the cars were washed down the stream. The express ear waa found not far array, with the safe open and Its contents gone. The chair car was half a mile from the scene of the accident half filled with sand, la which were burled the bodies of many passengers. The smoker was washed atUI farther 4own stream and was not located until •erersl boors after the time of the ac■ddenc Most of the dead Were la the care buried under the debris. The bodies of three young women were washed up on the bonk of the rirer threequarters of a mile below the scene of <bs wreck. The disaster was the worst that has •ever occurred on the Denver and Bio Oraade railroad. Dry crack Is one of Che most dangerous points on the road. It is not far from Batts, where two years ago washouts occurred which crippled the eerrlee of the line, but canoed no too* of life. ^ When the baggage car smoker and chair car left the tracks and Into the stream they were swept by (he current sad the trucks tom This lightened them, and the volume of water can be understood when It was reported by Superintendent Bowrva that they were carried four miles before they ran ashore. The three cam were found near each ot^er. The great locomotive, the boiler free of the trucks, the cab and tank gone. Uea where It fell.

WAN IN FAR CAST. JonaatBBB Oata Oae of Part Aethms** Oates. LONDON. Aug. 10.—Advices f Bt 1'etersborg say that Lieutenant General Llnerltch is marching with troops from the direettoh of Vlsdivo* tek to create a dlverelon in the real of General -Kuroki's army with the ob ject of relieving General Kuropatklu'i force. A Mukden'dispatch says that the Japaneoe are using the Bhunhalkwau Ylnkow railway for provisioning tbt army and mobilising troops for an at lack ou Sinuilntun, about thirty mile* west of Mukden. A dispatch received at 8L Petersburg from Lieutenaut General Stoeoatel <tou firms previous reports that the Jupa ue*e befqro Port Arthur are in posse* slon of Wolf hill. General 8toe*M-l re ports ax follows: “At 4 In the morning five divisions ot Japanese took the offensive against our position on' Wolf hill. In view of the enormous su|*yrioHfy of the en einy's forces and the weakness ot thr position our troop* were ordered to re tire to the next pusitiou without fight ing. •The movement bos effected In com plete order under the protection of ar tillery. which by acruntje tire at short rang*# completely stopped the Jaimnest advance. "The fleet assisted In the defense by bombarding the Japanese flank. "Our looses during the three days were about 1.800 men and fort/ officers killed or wounded. “According to statements of Chinese and prisoner*, the Japanese loot a* uiany as 10.000. “Their losses were so great that the enemy has not hud time to remove the dead and wounded.” The unexpected loss of the Russian left at Tashichao and the appearance of the Japanese Takushnn army on the flank forced the abandonment and render, without a fight, of Ylnkow. llaicbeng and Newcbwang. It 1* gen erally believed that the crisis will come shortly at Uaoyang and that Kuropatkin will be forced to give battle whatever hi* purpose may be.

FLEET NOT A BLUFF. Osr Sever ta Tsrker Mmr fi# WASHINGTON. Aug lO.-Acrerdlng to the present plans of the stats department. It to probable that aeneeUonul developments will follow the arrival of the European squadron at Smyrna. Asiatic Turkey. If the sublime porte continues to remain deaf to the dostauds of the United States It waa reportrd that the sultan had yielded to the American government's demand*, but later reports contradict thlg. The Turkish situation baa tieen fully discussed at a cabinet meeting, and It haa Iwen decided that while no Instructions will be sent to United States Minister Irishman at Constantinople prior to tbe arrival at Smyrna of the erruisers Olympia. Cleveland and Baltimore. composing the European squadron under Admlnfl Jewell, It la known that the plana of the state department for bringing about a change of views on the part of the sultan and bis minister contemplate no more extended delay than that Indicated. It U believed that In the event of the sultan refusing favorable consideration to tbe American demand* Minister Lelshman will be recalled to the United State* and diplomatic relntlonabetween the United State* and Turkey absolutely severed. . Consequently. In the evenfVif no good result following the arrival and presence of the American warship* at Smyrna, the only course left open to the United State* would Ik- tbe recall of Its ffilnlster and'the sereratn-e ot nil diplomatic relations with the sublime porte. • Owing to tbe unsatisfactory procedure of the porte in meeting the requests of the American government, matter* hare gradually approached a climax. The dispatches from Mr. Lelshman. the American minister at Constantinople, are of the same tenor for many mouths past—ttiat he was unable to obtain an audience with the sultan in which he could put before blm tbe earnest request of Mr. Huy. the secretary -of state, that American citlxen* and institutions be given tbe same guarantee* and privileges accorded to-France, tiermany. Russia and Italy in the Ottoman

empire.

Including curiously carved metallic pipes, a beautifully embellish •d spear and two shields, one ot closely woven native grass and the other of wood covered with hide. After they left the executive offices the Filipinos were shown through tbe lower apartment* of the White House.
