Part Of the Bull Hill Miners Organize q

DENVER. Aug 1.-One result of the late
warlike strike at Cripple Creek is the Or
ganization Of a band of robbers who have
terrorized the country in the immediate
nei.hborhood and the outbreak of troubles
more bloody than the recent strike Is
among the possibilities. When 1t became
known that Sheriff Bowers was TO be per.
mitted TO serve warrants and make ar.
rests those leaders who felt that their ac-
tions would be punished with heavy
penalties fed the camp. A party of them,
numbering ten to fifteen, organized them
selves intoa u band and ever since have de.
mandcd sustenance from the surrounding
ranchmen.
They are mounted on stolen horses and
make raids. seizing cattle, poultry an q
horses, anything that will serve their pur.
poses. They rode into the little town OF
Victor, demanded what they wanted, and
then boasted that no one in Victor could
stop them. So serious have the raids be-
come that a vigilance committee is being
organized to drive the robbers away or ex.
terminate them. 1t is also said that Sher.
i'll Bowers is organizing a posse of deputy
sheriffs to proceed against them. War
rants for every member of the gang have
been issued for acts committed during the
strike

CH.NO-JAPANESE DIFFICULTY.
Statement of How the Outbreak of Hos
tilities Occurred.

tllltles occurred.
YOKOHAMA, Aug. 1.-The following off
cial statement of the difficulties between
China and Japan, which lead to the out
break of hostilities between those two
countries, has been issued by the Japa-
nese government: Japan and China were
approaching a settlement of their difficult
ties when China suddenly requested Ja.
pan to withdraw her fleet from Corea and
to give a formal compliance with the
Chinese demands by the Goth, otherwise
the whole Chinese forces were to land and
a sea advance upon the part of China was
to be made. The japanese regarded this
as an ultimatum, but acting under the
advice of the friendly powers, they agreed
to the proposals in principle, in amended
form, at the same time declaring that if
the threatened Chinese advance was
made on the Goth, it would be regarded as
an overt act.
1t is con jectured that the Japanese
naval commanders were instructed to be
on the watch !or the Chinese warships,
and seeing the latter advancing on July
% they opened fire. The Japanese do not
believe that the Kow Shing, the Chinese
transport sunk by the japanese cruiser,
was flying the British flag, but were that
the case they regard it as being a ruse
The Japanese Indignantly deny the
charges of brutality brought against the
officers and crew of the cruiser which
sank the Chinese transport kow Shing
No official report has been received at Eo-
hohama of this engagement

CASK OF GOLD STOLEN
remarkable Robbery Effected Betvee,
the Cities of Hayre and Paris

the Cities of Havre and Paris,
PARIS, Aug. 1.-The police of France
are investigating what is probably one of
the most remarkable robberies ON record
and 1t Is believed that the police authori-
Ties OF the United States will be asked, if
they have not already been requested, to
take hand in the inv, tigation. In
some unaccountable manner n cask of
gold from New York, valued at $50 ONO
has been stolen while in transit from
Havre to Paris. The French line steamer
La Touraine, Captain Santelh, left New
York July q for Havre with forty casks
OF gold on board, valued at 81 600. 600 and
consigned to various concerns. She ar
rived here July ~. The forty casks of
god are believed to have been safely
landed at Havre and they are also said to
have been placed, complete, on board
the tram running between Havre and this
city.
But when the precious casks were
counted upon arrival here there were only
thirty-nine of them-one cask contsin-
ing soooo' III American gold had by some
means disappeared. The disappearance
OF the cask of gold has given rise to a
number OF police theories, the strongest
being that the gold was followed from
New York by expert thieves, who patient
" awaited thei. chance to abstract one
OF the casks. The police, pending the ter
mination Of their investigation, will not
give any particulars concerning the rob-
berry, but 1t is believed that several per-
sons were concerned in the theft, for the
cask of gold must have weighed nearly
two hundred pounds and even a very
strong man could not have carried such a
load alone for any great distance.

NATIONAL MILITIA ORGANIZATION,
scheme That General Curtis of New York
Has in Hand

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The increasing
Importance of the militia for quelling in-
ternal disturbances and its potential
strength in case OF threatened war has led
General Curtis of New York, who is an
enthusiast upon military matters, to en-
body his plans for national militia Or
ganization in a bill. The bill has received
the sanction of the house committee on
militia and, although probably it will not
secure hearing this session, may be
called up next session.
General Curtis proposes that the militia
shall consist of every able bodied male cit
izen between the ages of Is and -, the
organization to be known as the National
guard OF the states and the unorganized
as the reserve militia. The organization
of the former would be made to conform
as closely as possible to that OF the regu-
lar army.
