MILAN , Nov. 20. An express train bound
from tills city to Venice camu Into collision
at H o'clock this morning with a hc.'iVJ'
freight train which was stationary on the
rails at the limits of the first station be
tween Milan and Trovlglio. 11 la reported
that thirty-live people mot death in Iho
wreck and that fifteen others were seriously
injured. The bodies ot the dead and
wounded have been conveyed to this tity.
IJy the middle of < the afternoon thirteen
dead bodies had been removed from the
wreck of the Venice express and twenty
wounded persons had been brought to the
hospital of this city from the scene of the
disaster.
\Micro tlio Collision Occurrcii.
The collision occurred a few minutes before -
fore midnight at Limitro station. A heavy
freight train from Verona was forty-live
minutes late in arriving at the station owine
to the fog , and was ordered to go on a siding
and lot tlio oilier trains pass. As the train was
about to do so , the Milan express came along
and dashed into the engine of the freight
train with a mighty shock. Both engines
reared uu on their cuds and then fell over.
Three cars , however , were smashed almost
to pieces.
The woodwork of the wrecked cars was
E.OOII burning fiercely. A sconce of the most
horrible description ensued. The injured
were screaming for help , the inr was filled
with blinding smoke and steam from the
wrecked boilers , and everything was In tlio
greatest confusion. All the employes at the
station hurried to the scene , and the proplo
of tlio town wore aroused anil came to help
in rescuing the injured. Assistance and a
train arrived from Milan with doctors to
care for the Injured and a company of sol
diers to aid the rescuers.
Hill-null Allvp.
In the meantime the rescuing party cut
away the burning wood , and streams of
water were poured upon the wreckage , under
wnicli a number of passengers wore inex-
tricablv jammed. Some of the victims met
horrible deaths , being cremated before Iho
eyes of the spectators , who were powerless
to help them. Oilier unfortunates were
only extricated to die Iu the arms of their
rescuers.
After the fire had been extinguished , tlio
injured and the bodies of the dead were re
covered from the smouldering debris. The
corpses presented a sickening appearance.
Some of them were disemboweled ; others
hud .irma and logs crushed and were muti
nied in other ways , and all were charred
practically beyond recognition.
The injured were also in a terrible con
dition. All of them were suffering from
burns , and most of them had broken limbs.
In .somu cases , the immediate amputation of
arms or legs was necessary. By tfo'clock 1n
the morning thirteen bodies had been placed
in tie railway station , and twenty-two of
the Injured bud been taken to Milan as fast
us they were taken from the wreck.
A dispatch from Milan says forty persons
were killed and IS ! injured by Iho collision
nt Lltnlro station. Nearly every passenger
on the train was more or less Injured. It is
expected the majority killed and wounded
were emigrants going to America via Venice.

some decisive nrrang'jmcnt regarding the

confirmation of the rumor. It is also said
said that thu result of the conference will

When I interviewed Minister Assis ho ad
mitted it was true that ho had called on
Demctrlo Hlbeiro , but declares politics were
not discussed ; that It was merely a visit of

WASHIXOTON , Nov. 2U. The following is n
synopsis of the annual report of the secre
tary of war. It gives the usual review of
the conditions and operations of the army ,
and , in addition , Is devoted especially to the
progress of the work of the seacoast de
fenses.
Secretary Lament reports it may bo as
sumed that Indian warfare Is practically at
an end in the United States ; that demands
for the employment of the army must become -
come infrequent , as state authority , on
which that obligation properly rests , demon
strates its complete ability to discharge'It ,
and that in consequence the gradual concen
tration of the army on the seacoast and the
frontiers is prescribed by the conditions of
the time. Any considerable increase In the
numbers of the army would not moot with
popular favor , and it is not suggested by any
contingency , immediate or remote ut the
work of fortification at thirteen of our
largest seaports , already begun or projected
for the near future , renders the conversion
of a uortion of the Infantry to the artillery
army a manifest necessity of the period
directly ahead ot' us.
Strciiitli of the Army.
The total strength of the army on Sep
tember 30 , 1893 , was 8,144 officers and 25,778
enlisted me.n. From various causes , dis
charge , purchase , desertion , etc. , the army
lost 11,410 enlisted men during the year and
gained 9,07-1 recruits. .
Transportation was furnished for 5107,777
persons , 0,943 animals ana IKG92 ) tons of
freight. The now quarters , barracks and
buildings at army posts compare favorably
with military structures abroad. The dib-
clplinc , health and general condition of the
army is good.
The secretary recommends strongly the
repeal of the law fixing ten years as the
maximum period of enlistment and favors a
reduction of the period of first enlistment to
three years instead of live.
The prosecution of the experiment of en
listing" Indian companies will oo continued
only on the present small scale until its suc
cess or failure has been proved.
The three battalion organizations for in
fantry regiments is recommended.
Now M a KM/.I IKS Hlflo.
The adoption of the now magazine rifle is
the most important step taken for the
infantry since the civil war. A limited
number will bo completed within sixty uays
at xhe Springfield armory and the entire
infantry lorco will bo equipped with the
new arms before the close of the coming
year.
The gradual manufacture of a reserve
supply of the arms sulllcient for the organi
zation of the militia is recommended.
The issue of the new ad-inch caliber steel
field guns to the militia und in limited num
bers to colleges and schools which manifest
a special Interest in military affairs is sug
gested
One-third of the report is devoted to the
progress of the last eight years in the manu
facture of heavy ordnance and in the Pacific
coast defense under the project of the
Kndieott board oi IBS , ) . Progress already
made warrants the belief that within the
time specified thirteen jears from the first
appropriations tlio essential features of
tlio plan can bo carried out. The
mounting of the first 12-inch gun ,
with its Hit , in its emplacement at
Sandy Hook is the evidence of remarkable
progress during these eight years , signifying
the ability of our manufacturers to produce
heavy forgings for high power guns , the
completion of an army gun factory at
Wntervlk't which takes rank with tlfo best
in the world , tlio invention and manu
facture of Run carriages and lifts able to
sustain tlio weight and recoil of these great
guns and tlio completion of modern emplace
ments. The coat of the typo battery at
Sandy Hook is fYJi.UH. By January 1 , ISUt.
there will oo ready for mounting nine 12-inch
nuns , twenty 10-inch puns , thirty-four 8-inch
12-inch mortars.
guns and seventy-live -
l-rumriii | rbices lor Them.
The engineer corps is preparing at Port
land , Mo. , Boston , New York , Washington ,
Hampton Koads and San * Francisco emplace
ments in all for four 12-inch guns , twenty
ID-Inch guns , live 8-inch guns and sixty-four
12-Inch mortars i also twenty-four casemates
for submarine torpedo operations.
Work on the coast defenses at Narrapan-
sott bay , Charleston , Tybeo Koadn and
Savannah river and Pensacola will bo begun
during the year. Work will bo progressing
next year at thirteen of the twenty-eight
ports proposed for fortification by the Enui-
eott board.
The annual output of the Watervliot gun
factory is fifteen lU-inch guns , fifteen 10-Inch
and twelve 8-inch guns , and the first of the
100 Urge iruns contracted for with the Uoth-
lehcm iron works is due next year.
To keep pace with the manufacture of
guns the secretary recommends ample ap
propriations for emplacements and batteries
and for the purchase of sites for fortifica
tions , in accordance with the schmuo adopted
in 18SS. The exwwidltures for seacoast do-
icnso for the year ending Juno ao , ISjtKI , wore
53,103,091.
The Invention and manufacture ot Amer
ican brown and smokeless powders for heavy
ordnance and for the magazine rifles have
made slow progress , and the secretary of
war urges manufacturers to solve the problem
for their own profit ana our national pride.

The report pays much attention to the ed
ucation of the officers and men of the army
and the Instruction of the militia and mili
tary schools , holding that , thu short duration
of recent wars demonstrates the important
part of the exact sciences in modern war
fare , and tnat progress In the War depart
ment must bo along the lines of a national
university of military science , as well us
along those of coast defense. An increase in
the number of cadets at the West Point mil
itary academy , to meet the demands of
higher and moro general military'instruc
tion , is suggested for an early day In the
future.
Growing interest in the milltmy instruc
tion at colleges and schools Is reported. In
1SUO-1 710U ! students were , reported under
instruction by officers nt these institutions.
In 18'a the number was 10,970 , again of 42

Mr. Lament recommends that military in

colony , planted as righteously and firmly on
the Northern Pacific Isles as our pilgrim
fathers established themselves on Plymouth

to the astounding misrepresentations and
untruths of Commissioner mount's report on
Hawaiian affairs , a copy of which I first
obtained with dllllculty Saturday even
ing , November 25. It Is proper for mete
to jirefaco my answer by briefly re
ferring to the fact that those familiar with
international rules and proceedings and who
have had diplomatic experience must be
astonished that Secretary Qrcsham and his
commissioner should make bofpro the world
such a persistent effort to discredit the
recent acts of the department they now rep

' 'Not wishing to bo severe on a neophyte
in diplomacy , with little knowledge of the
world's affairs outside of his own country ,
sent on a very peculiar errand , amid cur
rents and quicksands entirely unknown to
him , I say he has been partly tho'victim ot
circumstances , having been caught in the
meshes anil snares adroitly prepared for
him by Iho cunning advisors of the fallen
Mliuokalani , and by the shrewd , sharp ,
long-experienced British diplomatic agent ,
whoso aims and hopes Blount has served so
well and without the least suspicion that he
was aiding ultra-British interests oven moro
than ho was helping the Hawaiian monarch
ists and the Just dethronement of the queen.
It is clear enough from Blount's maimer
from the day of His arrival at Honolulu , as
well as by his letter to the Department of
State , written shortly after , that he de
signed , at whatever cost , to repudiate the
views and action of the recently terminated
administration , and that in order to do so ho
must impugn the action of Minister Stevens
and commander of the United States steam
ship Boston.
"A total stranger , it was impossible for
Mr. Blount , to know how unfitting it was for
him to take up his quarters where ho was
certain to be surrounded by royalists and
where the supporters of the provisional gov
ernment would reluctantly go.
In a J > 'u8t of itoytillstj ,
"Ihe hotel wrrp kept by ono who had
served as Kalakhua's ' ctianiDcrlaio , who was

Minister Merrill . had officially reported , to
Secretary.Bayavd , nnid this' mail was fho
leading member of a firm that sought to
do its chiot business with England , a
thoroughly unprincipled opponent of tlip
provisional government and of American
predominance in the islands.
"As a precautionary ( safeguard against the
shutting out of tr.o Americans from ready
access to Commissioner Blount , a wealthy
and highly respectable widow lady of the
American colony was ready to grant the use
of her home to Mr. and Mrs. Blount , the
commissioner to pay the same amount it
would cost him to live at the royalist hotel.
Tills polite otter of an American resident to
an American commissioner did not originate
with the provisional government nor did the
provisional government have anything to do
with the proposed arrangement. A com
mittee of three American citizens , born and
educated in the United States , men who hud
not taken part in the revolutionary proceed
ings of the previous week , went on board
the Hush when that vessel came into
the Imrbor. At the request of the
three American gentlemen , they were intro
duced to Mr. Bio jut. His manner of re
ceiving the visitors repelled them ami they
asked mo to state Iho reasons why it would
not bo pleasant to him and better for ail
concerned not to go to the royalist hotel , butte
to take residence on neutral ground , where
ho would bo master of his own surroundings.
As delicately as I could do so I stated the
offer of the committee of his countrvmcn ,
pointing out to him that by accepting tlioir
proposal he would bo near the archives of
tlio legation , which ho could conveniently
use and which I would bo pleased to at once
place at his disposal , llruskly he refused
the courtly and honestly intended ofYer of
his countrymen and placed himself among
royalists and ultra-British surroundings.

"It is well known to all who have knowl
edge of diplomatic rules and customs that
when a now diplomatic agent arrives at the

perversion of facts. To sliow the character

lot attempt to conceal from mo his wish
, hat tlio suffrage rights should bo granted
: o the Japanese residents. 1 expressed to
ihii the opposition that .the United
States would put forward to any en
croachment upon the soil or sovereignty
of Hawaii , ami that 1 would maintain
this position until otherwise instructed by
ny government. Kvor.v step of my action
was duly reported to the Department of
State prior to Blount having any knowledge
on tlie subject , ills claim to have put an
end to Hawaiian anxiety about rumored
lapancso encroachments Is purely as
sumption.
"in Blount's report Riven to the press 1
find Uio following : 'Two members of the
committee. Messrs. Thurtton and Smith ,
growing uneasy as to the safety of their
iior.sons , went to Mtntstor Stevens to know
if ho would protect them in the event of
tlioir arrest by the authorities , to which ho
gave his assent. "
"It Is enough to say that there is not a
semblance of truth iu this assertion of
Blount , made by him without his over hav
ing hinted to mo or made any inquiry of me
on the subject. Ho thus gives the signature
of his endorsement to a charge which I
never even heard of until 1 found it in
Blount's printed report.
"Ho sajs that the response to the call of
the committee of safety to land the men of
the Boston 'docs not appear on the files of
the legation. '
Landing or tlio Mirliin : .
"Tho meaning of this insinuation is obvi
ous. Knough to say that there never was
any such document. I received the invita
tion of the committee of safety for M hat it
was worth , us I received other information
on the same subject. 1 should have re
quested Captain Wiltx. to have landed Ins
forces , even had not the committee re
quested it. Blouut singularly asserts that 1
liromiscd to aid the committee of safety by a
force. Tills is emphatically and categorically
untrue. In replying to rival parties , whether
the representatives of llio queen
or opponents , my answer was always
tlio same , that the lorco should
not bo landed until danger was
plainly evident , and then only lo protect
American life und property and to no one did
lover hint that I could or would recognize
any but the do facto government , Whether
monarchical or republican , as 1 said In my
letter to Secretary Orealiam. I nero affirm
that the royalists oed their opponents bait
equal access to the legation and to its
official head. Tlio best evidence of tlio base
less charges that I promised to use force
against the queen is that 1 ordered Captain
\Viltz to k'rcmain passive , ' and no force was
used , though the queen , through her
ministers , strongly tlrcod it hours before tire
provisional government was rccoirni/.ed by
mo and all the other diplomatic represent
atives iu Honolulu.
' One of the most striking evidences of
Blouiiv's'pivjiiiliMi' vDcparto andilnwarranted
statements isthefollowingr -A meeting of
the committee of safety was hold that nlglit ,
January 10 , at the house of Henry Water-
house , next door to Minister Stevens , which
determined on the dethronement of the
queen , and selected officers. '
"Of this meeting at tlio house of Henry
WatcrhouRO. specified by Blount , I had no
flint or knowledge at the time it was held ;
know not of whom the mooting was com
posed or what was its action , and my first
information as to the persons assembled at
that meeting I obtained from Blount's re-
nort.

"Regarding the expectations and hopes of
the queen und her representatives in the ex-

tlio fallen queen cund her confidante then

overthrow , which had already been ac
complished.

gram-SpcclaHoTiuBii : : . ] The Chihuahua
revolt Is assuming a most serious aspect and
Diiu'n followers are becom'ng ' proutly
alarmed. Despite their claims that thd
trouble Is not a revolution , but the work of a
few bandits out for plunder , they show thole
apprehension.
In addition to the patrol of the Hio Grande
n tins section the United States government ,
will bo urgently requested to place a largo
force in tlio llcld'on the American side ot
the river. Tlio government is now antici
pating uprisings further south in the GUIYB
section.
One of the phases which has created --on
stornutlon in army circles is the fact Iliad
the regular troops are in some secret man
ner getting possession of seditious literature.
The forced draft of men in these sections
lias embraced several who arc revolutionists
and who belong to tne secret order of which
all the rebels are members. These nlen
huvo of course preached their doctrines to
the regular soldiers and they are now seized ,
with disaffection.
Ulniriiclor iif tlin Itegiilars.
The regular soldiers arc mainly convicts
sent to tlio army on account of lack of room
In the penitentiary and their allowance is
; t7'.j ' cents a day , equivalent to little mom. ,
than ! i"i cents American money. Out of this- ,
amount they furnish tholr own food anil
anything they need except clothing. Sol
diers fighting imdcr _ such conditions nro noD
very formidable , and if the revolutionists-
are paying coed wage's the regulars may
yet be Induced to join their ranks.
Nlckarn Pachcco was in El Paso , Tex. , un "
to Tuesday morning. During his stay ho
issued a now ponuncinmonto calling on
Americans to Join the present bodies ot revo
lutionists In the field and light for freedom.
The document appeals to the regular sol
diers in strong terms , and through somu
chance a plentiful supply of the Inflamma
tory documents got into thohands of the sol
diers.
Pore/ , while in Kl Paso , purchased a largo
quantity of ammunition , fie had with him
a train of fifteen wagons , winch ho loaded
and crossed back into Mexico before sun-

Besides Pachcco and his party ami several
other bodies , all well supplied wltti arms anil
ammunition , effected a crossing , and today ,
military officers are iu a fevered atato ot
anxiety ,

They i-ccognl/o the fact that the rebels'
have money ' .n abundance , that they are
well supplied with war munitions , that they
cross the river when it suits their con-
venienc- ! , ant ) that they cannot bo dislodged
from their stronghold. All they can now
depend on is the American government tak
ing summary action and increasing the
forces In Texas so aa to patrol the Hio
Grande from Urownsvlllo to 131 Paso , which
would require several thousand men. If the
United States troops take that much of the
campaign off Mexico's hands they can then I
rcduco some of tlioir garrison forces and '
put more men in the field. }
Tlio revolutionists , however , do not seem I
to thmu the American government will go
to such nu enormous outlay of money so long
as there is no hostile demonstration on the
Texas soil , and also clta the fact that us
Mollo or any other South American revolu
tionist can puivhuse arms In Now York ,
there Is nothing to prevent the same In
Texas"
Tlio revolutionists are not at present on
the aggressive. They are gulnlng recruits
and expect In the course of the next t\vo or
three weeks to como out of the present
stronghold and operate southward. They
bcllovo that they are able to force ffom
Diaz nuurly all the concession * they are
fighting for , and that will be tholr plan of
