New York. Nov. 19. -- During a dense :fog a t'ennsylvania ".rain ran upon a s gang of workmen on the Hackensack :Meadow It is now definitely known that twelve men were killed and five injured. Thomas Dougherty was sltpposed ~o ]be on the lookout for approaching ~rains. He was a considerable distance ~ap the track from the gang of laborers. and he evidently did not see the train, ~or he gave no warning, ltis body was ]hurled 90 feet through the aw. Was Making Up Lost Time. The train which ran down the work- men was a local from Milltown to Jer- sey City, due in Jersey City at 8:20 a. m. The fog delayed the train and En- gineer John Van Ostrand was endeav- oring to make up time. His train was running at a high rate nf speed, he be- lieving there was nothing to obstruct a quick run to Jersey City. The first he knew that his train had run into the men was when the engine jarred. Then the cries of the men were heard and he as so~a as possible brought his train to a stop. A IlorrIble SIsght. Engineer Van XOstrand, speaking of the moment when his engine plowed into the mass of cowering men who stood huddled together on the track. said: "It'~was an awful sight. There was a mass of legs and arms and heads ~ying through the nit', I was drenched with blood. I knew O/at something ~errible had happened and put on the air brakes ns hard as lmssible, track was drenched in blood. The meadows and the track looked like a battlefield covered with bodies. The shrieks of the dying drowned the cries of the horrified passengers. Women f~tnted and men turned away in hor- for." Not One EsoaDed. There were 20 men in the gang, and As :oon as the news of the accident reached Jersey City Pennsylvania rail- road officials went to the Meadows and superintended the removal of the dead a~ .injured. When the engine which struck the laborers reached the Pennsylvania de- pot tu Jersey City the cowcatcher was Ted ~ith blood from the men killed.

Washington, Nov. 19.--News of a mixed character came to the navy de- partraent Friday from Admiral Dewey touchin,g the situation in the Philip- pines. The admiral sent two of his war- ships, the Charleston and the Concord, ~ome time ago to the southward from Manila to ascertain whether there was truth in the reports that the insurgents had extended fl~eir activities in that di- rection. Friday he cabled as follows: "Manila, Nov, ]$. ]sgg.--Secretary Navy, Washington: Charleston and Concord ar- rived from Ilollo. Glass reports that the entire Island of Panay is in POSSession of insUrgents except Iloilo, which Is defended bY 890 Spanish troops. All foreign citizens there beg for American protection.

So far nothing has been done by the administration towards curbing the insurgents in their opera- ~ions save verbal representations from the American commanders to Aguin- aldo, in which it has been pointed ou~ to him that it would be good policy, in view of the probability of the annexa- tion of the islands by the United States. to pursue a course that would not be obnoxious to the United States, But, the situation is now realized o be erit- icM. So far as the Spaniards are con- cerned, perhaps they can be left to take care of themselves, but the foreign resi- dents at ]loilo are differently regarded. 2qm difficulty in the situation is that with the best intentions to intervene to protect the Europeans and other for- eigners and to save the city of ]loilo, the second in importance in the Philip- pine group, from looting, the United States forces appear to be stopped un- der the rn~es of war from moving from their po~ns. Such is the construc- tion pl~ed~:upon the clause in the pro- tocol ~g to a suspension of hos- tilities; :%~,;:: ~; The fate effect of this state of affairs ma~ be o hasten action in the Paris cor[ference, for it is only by the termination of that tm~bunal that the United States can come to the relief of the beleaguered Spaniards in Iloilo and at other points. It is said to be a fact, however, that a total disagreement at Paris may result in speedier action than If the commissioners agreed upon the main principles of the Philippine ces- sion, for, in such case, several additional sessions probably would be required in ~rder to arrange the details of the treaty, It is now thought to be certain that the commission at a meeting next Mon- day or Tuesday will do one of two things, t. e either agree to the cession cf the Philippines or note a disagree- mona and dissolve the meeting, for the administration is not disposed to taler- ate further delay anti has so instructed the United Sta~:es commissioners.

The latter will take no notice of this kind of a hair-splitting plea, but a$ to-day's meeting will call on the Spanish commissioners to make answer to the American proposition to cede the Philippines, probably allowing until Monday or Tuesday only for a final and responsive answer on that !~oint. PASSED AWAY. Death of Col. Thomas C, Donaldsoll~ Anthor of -Pnbllc Domain" an~ Other Books, Philadelphia, Nov 19.--COL Thomas C. D0naidsOn died at his home tu this DESPERATE CONVICTS. TWo Men Try o [~scape from O~1o Penitentiary---They l~ili a Guard, and Are Both "tVouaded. Columbus, O Nov. 19. --- There was & desperate attempt made by twn con- vlets to escape from the penitentiary about eight o'clock in the morning, as a result of which Guard Charles D. l,au- terbach, of Mount Vernon, was shot and killed, while Convicts O'Neil and Atkinsoa received us juries of a serious nature, and both are now in the prison hospital. By some means Convicts O'N~il and Atkinson, who are serving 15 years for rabbery, obtained possession of a re- volver and proceeded to carry out a bold plan to escape. One covered his face with a handkerchief and went into the broom shop where he held up Guard Lime and took hiz revolver. He thexx returned to the hoe shop, where the other man joined him and they opened fire upon Guard Lauterbach. who was in charge of that department. The guard was shot three times and almost instantly killed. The sound of the shoaling reached the other offi- cials in the prison, and they cancan the run to iovestigate. Guard Gump was the first on the scene, and, takingin the situation at a glance, opened fire on the two prisoners. This was returned, and a regular battle was in progress until the revolvers of all the participants were emptied. In the fray Convict Atkinson was shot down and seriously injured and, as soon as the guns were emptied, Guard Gump rushed in with his cane and al- most beat O'Neil to death before the prisoner would surrender. The men were taken to the hospital, where their injuries were attended to. Atkinson was shot in the body, but is not thought to be ~eriously hurt, but 0'Nell was so beaten about the head that his injuries may result fatally. The other pri.oners in the shop where the shooting occurred took no part in the affair, but it is hnderstood that they stood ready to follow if the efforts of the two leaders/proved suc- cessful. Previous to merging the out- break one of the two prisoners forced a third man to place a ladder against the outside of the penitentiary wail, so that when they had fought their way out of the shops they could shoot down the wall guard and make their escape by that route. Fra,nk O Nell and John Atklnson are serving their third terms. Atkinson says that O'Neil received two guns on the 4th of July, when visitors were allowed in the prison. They were hid- den by Atkinson, the two men decid- ing to wait for fall before trying to es- cape. They had bee~ waiting for three weeks for an opportunity. Atkinson was shot twice in the right arm and O'Neil has two severe scalp wounds. Neither is fatally hurt. KEELEY IS DEAD. The inventor of tire Famous Motor P~tsses Away la Philadelphia "HIs Career.

IWILL BE INVESTIGATED. a The GovernJnent Decides to Look Into the Igecent Fatal lgnce Riots in South CaroIina Paris, Nov, 17. -- The meeting Wednesday of the Spanish-American commissions began at 2:15 p. m. and ended at three p. m. The Spanish commissioners present- ed a long document in anuwer to the American argument which was sub- mitted last week. By mutual consent the memot~lndum was hunded to the Americans without being read and the meeting adjourned to Saturday next. The Spanish communication will be translated and its contents will be dis- cussed by the American eontmissioners Thm-sday a~ their usunl daily session. The Spaniards. in their eommnnieu- tion, reattlrmed the position which they have assumed ag~dnst the discussion here of Spain's Philippine sovereignty. They in.sist that the words "shall de- termine the control, disposition and government of th e Philippines." in arfi- cle 3 of the peace protocol, do not war- rant any reference to Spain's wit hdraw- al from the Philippines except on her own reruns, and therefore the SpaIdards propose arbltration on the construction to be placed on the words "the control, dis~position and government." In signifying their willingness to submit the Philippine artiele of the pro- toeol to a third party for eonstrnetion. the Spanish commissioners urged that. as there is obviously a difference of opinion regard~ing the phrase "the con- trol. disposition and government of the PMltppines." possibly tim result, of a misunderstanding, the Spaniards should no more be asked to sm'render Washington, Nov. 17.--The govern- ment has decided to investigate the cir- cumstances under which James W.

Milwaukee, Nov. 17.--There is like:y IO be an extra session of e~ngress next March for' the purpose of considering among other questions what is known as the McCleary bill, a monetary me, s- ure. This much was gleaned from Henry C. Payne, national republican m ThE :~EW "~&Al~" After a Drawing In Harpee'$ Wceldy~ Cr~pyrtght, 1898, by Itvrper & Brothers. The accepted Plans for the new battleship Maine, and her sister ships, the Ohio and the Missouri. Call for a ship of approx,mately 12,1~0 tone, wtth a water-lane length of 388 feet, beam, 72 feet, and draught 24 feet 6 tnches, with full tores, eup- plt~e and ammunition, and e guaranteed speed of 18 knots, at a cost of $2,885,000. In appearance, according to Harper's Weekly, the Malne, Ohio and Nqssourl, up to the top of the superstructure, and as far as tho armament ls concerned, are Iden- tical with the Illinois, Wisconsin and Alabama. They will carry (cur 18-inch breech-loading rtflee, paired in elliptical turrets forward and aft 14 ~- ~ch rapid- fire guns in the broadstde batteries, and 24 raldd-flre and machine guns In the sec- ondary battery, mounted at various points throughout the ship. For armoring these chips the original 16~&-ineh Harveylzed armor platlng will be superseded by 10-inch Krupplzed Plating, which admits of a broader and longer belt for the same weight at steel t'heir view thnn the Americans to surrender theirs. The memorandum points out that n deadlock exists, which might be broken by arbitration on the contending views, to which the Spanish commissioners are quite ready to snb- mit. The latter declare that they have no idea of suggesting arbitration as to the main issue, which toucher the na- tional honor of both sides, but they are willing to accept exterior aid to clear the path of negotiation. It is safe to say that the American eommisMoners will not consent to invoke exterior aid to construe the terms of their own pro- tocol. KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
