BUCHAREST, June 5 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—
Travel through Rumania is the su
preme test of patience and endurance.
Prom Belgrade, Serbia to Bucharest
the favorite route is via steamboat on
the Danube as far as Turnu-Severin.
Thence a train leaves dally for
Bucharest covering the 200 miles in
about thirty hours.
The train, cowcatcher, car roofs and
running boards are packed with a
solid mass of humanity before the
train starts out at Turnu-Severin. At
every station along the route long
stops are made while the crowds fight
to get. aboard the already .overloaded
train.
At the junction points of Cracova,
Piatra and Pitesci dense masses of
humanity fill the railroad yards and
sleep out In the open sometimes for
days waiting for the train. When the
Bucharest-bound train comes in to
these stations the mobs rush it with
wild howls and hose aboard the cars,
and especially those tin the roofs, are
compelled to fight for their places.
The police and soldiers are frequently
forced to make wholesale arrests and
to charge the mobs.
Germany has carried off all of
Rumania’s oil-burning locomotives
and the engines which remain burn
a low grade lignite. In order to shield
themselves from the live sparks of
the locomotives hundreds of refugees
sleeping on top the passenger, and
freight cars comprising the “Buchar
est Express” cover themselves with
their blankets which they wet along
the route.
Occasionally the train stops during
the night to pick up a pasenger who
has fallen from the roof during his
sleep. Fatal accidents are common
with hundreds of refugees sleeping on
the train roofs. Inside the coaches
the aisles are impassable.
Along the railroad tracks are the
burned skeletons of dozens of trains
to which the Germans set fire. Only
the wheels and steel trucks remain.
In all parts of Rumania the bridges
are destroyed. No matter where one
travels In, Rumania, American, rRad
Cross field workers are encountered
feeding the population.
DEFENSELESS
PASSENGERS
MURDERED
VERA CRUZ, Mex., June 27 (by As
sociated Press).—The death of sev
enty-five defenseless passengers was
one phase of the revenge taken by
the rebel bands under the nominal
command of Felix Diaz for the death
of Aurellano Blanquet and Francisco
Alvarez.
A train on the Interocean line, bear
ing peons being armed only with in
struments of labor was dynamited be
tween Pino and Las Vigas, the greater
number of the passengers killed by
rifle fire and their bodies, together
with the living wounded, burned when
the train was fired.
Within a ^few days a party of ban
dits, commanded by the Arellano
brothers, burned a large part of the
village of Tlapocoyan, causing an un
determined number of casualties. An
other attack by Pedo Gabay, falsely
reported killed, on the Alvarado rail
way near Salinas, claimed fifteen pas
sengers and fifteen soldiers as
victims.
The only military success regis
tered was the attack on a military
train near Tierra Blanca, on the Isth
mus Railway, at a point known as
"Devil’s Backbone,” by forces under
the rebel leaders, Villegas and
Lagunes. The young General Ernesto
Damy, Major Cirilo Gamboa and fifty
soldiers were killed. Damy fighting
