CoSsTASTTsoPLE, June "A party
OF brigands near Tchereskei on Sunday
placed distractions across the railroad
track and succeeded in derailing the
Eastern express When the brigands
had thus brought the train

there were several German and

Chancellor Won Caprivi has telegr aphed
To Herr Won Radowitx, the German
ambassador here. authorizing him TO
advance this amount The remaining
passengers were despoiled of their be-
longings and were then left alone.
The place where the act of brigand-
age occurred lies between this city and
Adrianople The band which made the
attack on the train numbered thirty
men, led by the noted Anastasius. The
brigands seized the watchman on duty
at the railroad station and when they
had prevented him from giving an alarm
they set 10 work and tore up the rails
for some distance. They set no warn
ing signal for the engineer Of the train,
but allowed the cars TO dash on to n
possible destruction. When the East
ern express reached the spot the engine
'tumbled over on its side, dragging over
with 1t the tender, baggage car and
all the third-class passenger coaches
The first-class passenger cars, luck
lily, did not follow the other part of the
trim, but remained safely on the road.
When the train was thus disabled the
brigands rushed forward, uttering loud
yells and brardishing their guns in
a most threatening manner, and
boarded the cars. Several of the pas
sengers resisted the attack made on
them by the brigands, who replied
with volley from their guns and dam
gerously wounded one of the men who
sought to repulse them. The outlaws
finally overcame the occupants Of the
cars and proceeded to plumber them,
stripping the travellers of all valuables
and footing their baggage. When they
ended their work of robbery they
seized four of the passengers in the
first-class cars and also the engineer of
the train and then started with their
captives for their rendezvous in the
mountains. The men carried away by
the outlaws were Oscar Greger, Herr
Israel, banker of Berlin; Herr Maquel,
a land owner of Siegelsdorf, Bavaria;
Herr Oscar Kotysch of Zorbig,
Prussian Saxony. and Freundiger, the
engineer of the Eastern express. Upon
reaching their retreat the bandits sent

The Prince Tcstifcs In the Baccarat Scam
dal Case.

Gal Case.
LONDON. June 2-The throngs in
and around the courtroom at the begin
ming of the second days hearing in the
famous baccarat scandal suit of Sir VIII
liam Gordon Cumming were even larger
than on Monday, interest having been
heightened by the expectation of the
summoning of the prince of Wales TO
the witness stand. The cross-examina-
ton of Sir William was concluded, and
the prince of Wales took the witness
stand.
The prince gave his testimony in q
clear and straightforward way. 1t
was entirely in favor of Sir William.
The prince declared that during the
game he neither saw nor sus-
pected any cheating whatever. IL
was not until September 10 that
Lord Coventry had told him Sir Will
liam had been guilty of cheating. In
concluding his testimony the prince
said the witnesses to the alleged cheat
ing by Sir William were so unanimous
that he could not help believing the
charges, though he personally saw
nothing of it,
During the cross examination of the
prince juror caused a sensation by
rising in his place in the box and pro-
ceeding to interrogata The witness He
asked: ''Are the jury to understand
that you were banking on the occasions
of the games in question and saw moth
ing of the alleged malpractices?"
The prince hesitated for a moment as
IL undecided as to whether he ought or
ought not TO reply. Finally concludin G
that he would answer. he said, with a
half smile: 1T is very easy for n banker
when dealing cards not to see anything
especially when in the company Of
friends in country house. You do not
for moment suppose that anyone will
play unfairly"
The juror, returning to the charge.
asked: "What was your opinion at
the time Of the charges made against
the PLAINTIFF"
To this the prince suavely replied:
1.-The charges made against him were so
unanimous that / had not any other
course open to me than to believe
them"
The princes last answer caused an
