OTTUMWA, Iowa, May 6.—A Burling- | ton passenger train, No. 3, was wrecked | | to-day while passing Thayer, a small | | town eighteen miles east of Creston, | | causing the death of Engineer S. D. Brown of Burlington and injuring over | a score of passengers. none fatally. The locomotive hauling the passenger train struck an engine attached to a freight | train that was backing on a side track. The passenger engine and all but two cars of the passenger train left the rails and rolled down a twenty-foot embank- ment. Thayer is situated in the bed of a deep ravine and on either side of the station | the track curves sharply. Neither en- | gineer could see the other’s train until | they were within twenty-five feet of each | other. The passenger train was running at a high rate of speed. The engineer of | the freight train heard the passenger train coming and made the utmost endeavor to back "his heavy train on the sidetrack. He succeeded in getting all but the en- | gine on the siding when the crash came. As the passenger train rounded the curve Engineer Brown saw his peril, but he stuck to his post, reversed his engine, threw on the airbrake to the emergency notch, applied the sand and awaited the crash. At the last moment the men on the freight engine jumped, escaping se- Y &in | the cle, coach and three chair ca: LONDON, Rome correspondent of the Dally Chroni- Bombay, wi ir either Canada or the United States. rious injury.

Four omcer” and 314 men have been invallded home and subsequently died. Two thousand, four hundred and ninety-three non-com- missioned officers and men have left the service unfit for duty. Replying to a question in the House of Commons yesterday, War Secretary Brod- rick sald that among the prisoners cap- tured In South Africa were twenty-six Americans, besides thirteen others claim- ing to be burghers.

LONDON, May 7.—The Pretoria corre- spondent of the Times, in a letter dated April 6, describes the insecurity of the | Delagoa Bay Railway and constant de and stoppages due to systematic attempt oy PBoer commandos to wreck the lines and trains with mines. Like the Times’ Kroonstadt correspondent, he also insists upon the imperative necessity of replacing ihe stale British troops by fresh drafts, declaring that “‘unless the war is fin(she irselves to by September we must resign a continuance for another year. Commenting upon the communicati from its correspondents in Kroonstadt Pretoria, the Times sa ““The large captyres of Boers since thems letters were written give promise of a het- ter state of things, but the Government ought to do its utmost. Unfortunately. it is out of the question in present circum- stances, to carry out the general system of relief, but something might surely be dove for the battalions which have suf- fered most.” RUSSIAN LIEUTENANT SHOT BY A GERMAN TIENTSIN, May 6.—The Russian leu- tenant, Telekovsky, from the gumboat Bobr, was shot dea! by a German soldier during a fracas on the Taku road.

The withdrawal, it ap- pears, will be under Count von Walder- see’s command, no nation proceeding alone. The first step will be a note sent to the Chinese commissioners, naming the total indemnity. If Cnina gives a written pledge of payment the greater portion of the foreign troops wii be withdrawn, but a sufficient number will remain until the indemnity question is settled. Not until then will all the troops be withdrawn, with the exception of the legation guards and the garrisons between Peking and the coast. e Discharge of Volunteer Officers.
