(Copyrighted, 1S39, by Associated Press)
BERLIN, 4t. .-Th outbreak of
war In the Trnnsvaai la regarded here
as a question of a few days or at the
most of a week. The whole press
devotes considerable space to the mat
ter. Neither the attitude of the people
nor of th. press has changed material
ly. Without exception they disapprove
of such war and blame Great Hiltaln
for badgering the Transvaal beyond
endurance.
The liberal press also blames the
Transvaal for Its Illogical stand In first
sanctioning Great Britain's attempts
at Interference In Its Internal arrairs
and then rejecting such attempts and
making of them a casus belli.

when they are not In readiness for

The excursion train had run from '
Chicago over the Chicago and Alton
and Missouri Paclflo roads and was
turned over to the Denver and Bio
Grande at Pueblo at 2 p. m. The pas
senger train was running at the rat.
of about 35 mile, an hour when the
collision occurred.
The excursion train consisted of one
day coach and two Pullman tourist
sleepers. There were about forty pas
sengers, most of them from Massa
chusetts, en route to the Pacific coast.
The special had order, to run to tha
Reno siding, and when only a few
hundred yards from the siding it col
lided with the freight train. The trains
came together with terrific force. The
second PuIIn-an telescoped the first one
and the day coach Is a complete wreck.
The freight train consisted of 60 nar
row gague cars loaded with ore and
lumbet and the wreckage Is strewtl
along the tracks for nearly hair a
mile.
All the trainmen saved themselves
by jumping. It Is understood the
freight had orders to take the side at
Reno, but for some reason It failed ii
do so.
E. S. Plalsted, one of the excursion
party from Revero, Mass., said:
"Our party of 35 or 40 persons left
Boston Wednesday morning last on a
pleasure and business tour to the Pa
cific coast. I had been riding In the
first sleeper but just entered the day
coach with the Pullman conductor and
had got comfortably seated when there
came an awful crash. I quickly doubl
ed hiyself up and waited for the worst
I found I was not seriously hurt and
with little effort was soon extracted
from the under debris. I looked for
the conductor who sat by my side and
there he lay a corpse. The other men
In the same coach (there were four
In the day coach) escaped also. This
car was a complete wreck as was tha
tourist sleeper next' to It. There were
six persons killed, five young people
and our Pullman conductor, who came
with us from Boston. George J. Jud
klns. who was traveling to his home
In Spokane, had the misfortune to see
all three of his children killed while
he escaped with a few bruises and
scratches. The poor man Is almost dis
tracted with grief.'1
