WAR CLOSE AT HAND. Believed Now- to lie Only a quettlon of a Few Days. (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.

The ministers are'determlned not to pro voke a declaration of war, especially when they are not In readiness for hostilities, but they will not modify the terms of the last communication sent out by Mr. Chamberlain. The drift of affairs this week baa been strongly In the direction of war, although no one In authority Is yet willing to admit that the laat word has been said In favor of peace.

DENVER, Sept 23. Six passenger, w.r. killed and five Injured, one per hap. fatally, In a collision on the Den. ver k Rio Grande railroad at Reno siding, near Florence, at 4:08 o'clock this afternoon. The trains In collision were the Phllllps-Judson excursion from the east and the east bound fast freight The killed are: F. Sal tar, manager of the excursion. Eva M. Walker, aged 12, of Weatford, Mass. Eugenia B. Judklns, aged 12. Spo kane, Wash. Addle A. Judklns. aged 10, Spokane, Wash. George H. Judklns, aged I, Spokane, Wash.

Cook, Millers. Ind., bruised. 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 SALMON STEAMER SUNK.
