A California HoIdup.

TULARE, Cal, March 1.-Two Off
GERS were shot and a train robbeE
manned Daniel McCole was killed imam
attempt to hold up the south bound
New Orleans express near here at 2
O'Clock this morning. The attempted
robbery was one of the most daring
that has taken place in California, and
probably would have succeeded if it
had not been for the perf1dy of one of
the robbers. Last night the officers in
this city We're informed that an at
tempt would be made early this morn
ing TO hold up the Sunset limited. The
man who gave the information gave
the details of the plot and said that
at first he intended to take part in the
robbery. Under Sheriff Earl Daggett
and Constable Reed, armed with shot
guns, went to the place where the rob-
berry was to take place and awaited
the approach OF the robbers. The rob-
bers changed their plans, however, and
decided TO hold up the New Orleans
express. Three bandits boarded the
train ait Selma. two climbing on the
rear of the baggage car and the other
one on the tender. AS the train pulled
out of Goshen the robber who had be
trayed his companions left the train
without their knowledge rushed into
tne Telegraph once and told the opera
tor to tell the sheriff's party here that
the robbers had changed their plans.
The officers hastsned back to meet the
train and boarded the engine at Ia
gus The robbers did not intend to
make their presence known until after
the train had pulled out from the sta
rion, but the officers saw the men and
opened fire. The bandits returned the
volley and Sheriff Daggett was shot
through the lungs, sustaining a wound

Still Meagre.

HAVANA. March 19.-Details of the
engagement between Colonel Ynclans'
forces and the insurgents under Maceo
near Candelaria, in Pinar del Rio, are
still meagre but the losses incurred
by the Spanish troops are admitted to
have been serious. The engagement
was more in the nature of a pitched
battle than any previous one during
the instruction, and the attack by the
insurgents bold and effective. A tel
egram received today from General
Linares at Cayajacabos, admits this
much and says the troops are worthy
of the highest praise as they had to
attack in the open, with the enemy
barricaded behind stone walls. Gener-
al Linares also reported a column I'M
der Lieutenant Colonel Frances had
taken the insurgent position after a
stubborn defense directed by, Maceo,
Bandera and Delgado.
Maceo was encamped today, Thurs
day, at the plantation of Flora. west
of San Cristobal, having penetrated
farther into Pinar del Rio since the
battle with Colonies Ynclan and Hers
San Cristobal and formed a junction
there with Colonel Echavarria. Gen
eral Lineras followed Maceo towards
Mayarie, south of Candelaria, but Ma
Geo changed his route taking the north
Havana highway towards Pinar del
Rio. Colonel Hernandez proceeded to
Candelaria and, supported by other
columns. went from there toward Gin
ebra to join the other Spanish forces.
Colonel Hernandez reports having
had two fights with the insurgents and
he has returned from the plantation of
MERGED. At Montesine he reports fight
ing Maceo Banderas and Perequite Pc
rez. with a loss to himself of seven
wounded The insurgents were dis
lodged and pursued and once more
overtaken at MERGED. They were again
dislodged with bayonet and artillery.
Colonel Hernandez has carried his
wounded back to Candelaria. The re-
port says the insurgents left in both
these fights twenty killed and $50 sad
died horses.

VERY PERSONAL.

Interesting Controversy in the
House COMMITTEE on Territories.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-An in
teresting personal controversy between
Senator Brice, of Ohio, and Governor
Thornton, of New Mexico. enlivened
todays meeting of the house com
mittee on territories. 1t grew out of
the action of Senator Brice in securing
a senate amendment to a house bill
to validate bonds issued By the terri
tory for building it's new capital The
Brice amendment made the bill in
clude bonds for $172, 800 issued by the
county of Santa Fe to aid the Senta
Fe railroad, dated March /, 1892. When
the news of the senate's action
reached New Mexico the people Of
Santa F'e county held a mass meeting
which was attended by the governor
and adopted resolutions branding the
bonds as fraudulent and denouncing
the action of Senator Brice as having
been inspired by personal pecuniary
motives. Today the house committee
gave a hearing on the bond question,
which was attended by Governor
Thornton. Senator Brice arose and
with considerable warmth requested
Chairman Scranton to read a telegram
containing the resolutions which he
had received from New Mexico. This
the chairman did. Senator Brice then
made a speech in which he denounced
emphatically that his action had been
dictated by other than proper motives,
and inquired of Governor Thornton If
he assisted him (Brice) with the
frauds in connection with the bonds.
Governor Thornton replied that he
Cured in the organization of the road,
before Mr.. .Brice became a party there

for them, but disclaimed any personal
Intention to reflect on Brice. and said
he would withdraw any imputations
of personal dishonesty against the
senator, so far as he was concerned.

WILMINGTON, Del, March 10
Captain Steele of an oyster schooner
now at Atlantic City told a story today
of one-sided encounter off the coast
yesterday between a Spanish gunboat
and the American battleship Massa-
chusetts The captain Said that while
in Atlantic City he heard that a
Spanish gunboat was lying off the
coast in wait for the Bermuda, which
is thought to have sailed from SOmers
Point yesterday with a Cuban expedi-
ton. He resolved to see the meeting,
if any occurred. The captain said he
went out in his boat about twenty
miles, where he saw the Spanish boat
with flags flying. Shortly afterwards
the Massachusetts,. which has been
lying near the capes waiting favorable
weather for her builders trial trip,
hove in sight. According to the cap
tain, the officers of the Spanish gun
boat must have thought war had been
declared. for Immediately upon sight
ing the Massachusetts she pulled down
her flag and ran away. Meanwhile
the Massachusetts continued up the
coast at a clipping gait. The most
amusing part of the story is that the
Massachusetts has nothing in the
shape of armament yet on board.

DOESN'T Go.
The Fool Proposition of County
Committee in New York

SYRACUSE, n. Y, March 19.-Feb-
ruary 16 the Republican county COM
mittee adopted rule providing that
no Republican should be allowed to
enroll or vote at primaries who had
voted the ticket of any opposition party
since the last gubernatorial election
This rule would disfranchise several
thousand Republicans who voted for
the independent municipal reform can
didate for mayor at the last election.
The editor of the Post wrote Chairman
Carter of the Republican national COM
mittee, asking whether or not this rule
conficted with the call of the national
committee, which invited Republicans
to St. Louis without regard to pre-
vious party affiliations.
The editor has received in reply a
letter signed by Thomas H. Carter and
Secretary Joseph II. Manley, in which
they say, in part:
Amy such rule is clearly in conflict
with the call for the national conven
ton, which reads in that behalf as fol-
lows: The Republican electors in the
several states and territories and vot
ers without regard to past political
affiliations who believe in Republican
principles and endorse the Republican
policy are cordially fnvited to unite
unoer this call in the formation of a
national ticket
This clause has been inserted in
every invitation issued to the electors
of the country by the national Re
publican committees from the organi-
zation of the party down to the pres
emit time. Every voter, without ref
erence to past party affiliations, who
now believes in Republican principles
and endorses the Republican policy,
has been cordially invited TO unite I'M
der the call in the formation of a ma
tional ticket The only legitimate test,
therefore, which can properly be
applied to any voter offering his vote
at Republican primary, would be
embodied in the question: Do you be-
heve in Republican principles and en-
dorse the Republican policy
1T is the manifest purpose and in
lterest of the party to extend rather
than contract its membership

NEW YORK, March 19.-One of the

the Atlantic ended today with the ar
rival at New York of the Atlantic
transport steamship Mobile from Lon
don. Thirty-one cattlemen from the
west had engaged passage home Be-
fore the steamship left the Thames
the men broke into the store room and
took three cases of Irish and Scotch
whisky. AS soon as the ship reached
the open sea the fun began. The men
were soon all fighting drunk and they
ran things to suit themselves. Sailors
who were sent below to quell the dis
furbance We're thrown out and it be
came evident it was as much as life
was worth to attempt to check THE i'm
fUriated men. Bottles, furniture, crock
cry and all portable decora tons We're
thrown around the cabin, and finally
the men were locked below decks and
allowed to continue their debauch by
themselves. The men were arrested at
the pier. AS direct proof that they
stole the whisky could not be furnish
ed, they were allowed to go free, much
ITO the disgust of the ships officers.

LONDON, March 19.-There are in

is not prepared to accept, to the full,

statement made in the house of COM

which special significance has been at
