WENT DOWN IN A TIDAL WAVE.
The officers and Crew Of the Arago Dis
played Great Heroism

Two mas.s, projecting few feet above the
swell at high tide, mark the spot where the
steamer Arago lies in six fathoms Of water,
Just beyond the end of the unfinished jetty at
the entrance to Coos bay. The vessel has
not moved since II was carried out OF its
course by a huge billow, dashed on the rocks
and then lifted again and literally placed ON
the crest OF the bar.
The swell on which the Arago rode to the
bottom was miniature tidal wave, and wash.
ed inland for u distance OF 10 feet beyond the
high water mark. The decks of the steamer
have been swept clear and 1t is evident that
the matches are broken, as u quantity OF
merchandise, which was stored In the lower
hold, has drifted ashore. The beach was
patroll.d all day by the life saving crew, but
none of the bodies have been recovered. The
impression now obtains that the disaster was
not due to the negligence or incapacity OF
the captain or his officers, ull of whom be-
hayed with great heroism.

Russian Peasant Women.

The peasant women are particularly
interesting. They are race of small,
bright looking women, presenting 4
striking contrast to the men, who are
on the whole tall, sombre looking
set. There Is, of course, the peasant
dress, which Is worn uniformly. II
consists of, first, the sorotchka, or en-.
brodered Shirt the sleeves alone are
embroidered with fancy patterns in red
and blue, and woman counts II dis.
grace to wear other work than her own.
Then the skirt or pettlcoat (spodynitza)
IS of red or blue cloth; and over all is o
sleeveless jacket, often of black. When
outside. they wear coat over the
whole. The manner of adorning the
hair is peculiar, and, unlike the fashion
In this country, conveys 4 special sg-
nificance.
The unmarried women do up their
hair in two plalts, which are bound
round the head, and over this shawl Is
simply thrown while the married wom-
en- do their hair in one plait, which falls
down the back beneath the sorotchka,
and on their heads they wear shawl
Of black and mauve, which Is manipu-
lated into n ver.' effective head dress.
There Is surely correspondence here
to the Golf and snood of older Scotland.

BANDITS HOLD UP A TRAIN.
A Chicago and Alton Express Robbed by
Four Masked Men.

A passenger and express train on the
Chicago and Alton Railroad, due at Kansas
City from Chicago and st. Louis at o'clock,
was held up and robbed by four masked men
Friday evening at Blue Springs cut, between
Independence and Glendale, Mo.
The scene of the robbery Is less than
20 miles distant from Kansas City. The
train was tagged at the cut. While two of
the robbers stood guard over the passenger
tor. engineer and fireman with their pistols
and compelled them to 90 to the express car.
There the robbers commanded the messen-
ger to open the do Of the car, threaten
ing to break in the doors should he refuse.
After some delay they were admitted to the
car. They compelled the messenger to open
the safe and extracted from 1t several
packages. How much booty was secured
cannot be ascertained at this hour, but the
conductor of the train states the bandits Sc
cured nothing save several packages OF jew
elry.
Having secured the money the robbers
left the train and entered the woods. Though
several shots were fired no one was injured.
The train proceeded to Independence and
information Of the robbery was telegraphed
from there. A Deputy Sheriff and posse left
Independence at once and a squad Of police
men was detailed from Kansas City, but II is
now thought the bandits are safely out of the
way.
There has been three holdups In the Blue
Springs cut. The James gang held up
train there In 1881.

HOT FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Spanish Reports Claim that the Inssrgents
We're Defeated.

Details have been received at Havana
OF the recent fighting in Plnar del Rio. At
10 O'Clock at night on Thursday the insurg-
ent forces, under Antonio Maceo, attacked
Artenmsa, opening FIRE uuon that place un-
expectedly with artillery. The garrison was
taken by surprise but soon replied and 20
shells were fired into the insurgent center,
inflicting heavy losses. The Spanish COM
mander ambushed detachment OF troops In
n palm grove and instructed them to allow
the insurgents TO advance TO close quarters
before firing. Then the government troops
poured n terrible fire into the insurgents
ranks and when this was added to by the fire
OF rapid-flring gun,th enemy hurrledly re-
treated. Many OF the enemy's shells failed
to explode and only five houses were de-
stroyed. One soldier OF the garrison was
wounded.
The Spaniards severely blame the insur
gents FOR "savage conduct" In not notify
ing ethe authorities OF Artenmisa that the
place was to be bombarded. and so permit
of the women and children being sent out OF
harms way. Five citizens were killed as a
result OF the insurgents hombardment, and

The construction of these undertakings are sure of making husi
 ness for San Diego. With ali these improvements in sight this city should not overlook the missing link-the San Diego, Yuma and Phoenix rail- road. This road to our harbor is of the greatest importance. What the opening of the Nicaragua canal is to the state of California is the Phoenix road to San Diego. Once having direct road to southern Arizona, the connection from Phoenix would be made with the northern portion of that Territory. The grain fields and ore beds would compose a great and profitable source of traffic to the com pany which builds this line. After the completion of such a road San Diego would become second Pueblo, Colo, as reduction works would be built on large scale to accommodate the demands of the shipments of ores from the Territory. The tourists from Arizona in the summer season would, through direct road, prefer this locality to any other of the state. In fact, San Diego would be looked upon as the natural port for Arizona ship pers. With the completion of this road San Diego's future greatness is established; without it, only hope remains.

THE AGE OF CONSENT.
Judge Baker Comments On the
 EaW.

Judge Baker this morning in sen- tenceing Ramon Ortega, found guilty Of rape, made the following comments on the laW of consent;
 The law in this case makes 1t rape to have sexual intercourse with female under the age of eighteen years of age, and not the wife of the prepetra- tor. To constitute the offense, neither force nor fear is necessary. The consent of the female to the act of sexual cohabitation constitutes no defense. She is incapable of giving legal consent to the act, that is the theory and the policy of the law.
 Now, have this criticism to make upon this law; The age of eighteen years is too great and the law by reason thereof is difficult to enforce, I have presided at number of trials under this charge and although the instructions of the court in each instance have been strict, still, juries have constantly failed to convict, but have disagreed, and in some cases where the evidence of the defendants guilt was clear, they have acquitted. I am satisfied that this has been the result because the age is fixed at eighteen years. New, would suggest that the incoming Legislature of this Territory reduce the age of consent to fifteen years of age. This subject of legislation is a wholesome one and the law ought to be made practical' so that it could be readily enforced; and hope that at the present Leg islatures bill fixing the age of con sent at fifteen years will be passed.
 The present law over-looks the fact that some girls under the age of eigh- teen years are incorrigibly wicked and depraved, even common prostitutes. It over-looks the fact that girls gen. erally whether good or bad are in full possession of their mental faculties and have the intelligence and the capacity to think, to will and to act before they arrive at the age of eigh teen years. It is strange to say that in this same chapter of our criminal law the punishment for the wretch who, with false promises and bland ishmeRts of marriage, wNos an inno- cent girl to her ruin is less than the one who has sexual intercourse with her with her consent, and without any promises of marriage.-Phoeaig HerGId.
