DENVER, Col, Nov. IA special to
the Republican from Albuquerque, N.
M, saysi The No. 2 passenger train
Of the Santa Fe Pacific, which was
held up at Grants station last night,
reached the city at 1870 this morning.
Conductor Aldrich states that just as
the train came to a halt at Grants
station a fusillade of shots rang out
on the air and as far as he could see
several men boarded the train, one on
the engine. He and Engineer H. D.
McCarty were on the platform, but
ran and caught the train as it was
moving out The fireman, Henry Abel,
being compelled at the point of cock
ed revolver to pull the train up to the
stockyards, about two miles distant.
The conductor, fully realizing that
something was wrong, left the train
at the stOckyards, where the robbers
had ordered the train to be stopped,
and ran back to the station, tele-
graphing the news to Division Super
intendent Hubbard, at Gallup, and
Sheriff Hubbell. In the meantime,
however, the robbers, who wore false
boards and were unmasked, cut the
mail coach, day and chair coaches and
the Pullman sleeper from the engine
and express car, and the fireman was
again ordered to pull the latter fur
Their up the road. They commenced
dynamiting the express car, and the
third explosion blew out one end of the
car, Abel being forced to assist the
robbers. Once inside they picked out
the safe, which they surmised contain
ed considerable money and valuables,
and placed on it a stick of dynamite,
a few Jumps of coal on the dynamite
and then attached fuse, which they
lit, and blew a hole in the safe. They
helped themselves to a number of
packages, containing gold and silver
coin, which they placed in a sack and
then left the car, going in the direction
Of the MalpOi Kicks, where their
horses were picketed. The express car
was on fire, and Abel, thoroughly
frightened and after seeing the rob-

Why VIII People Endure So Much
When 1t Can BE Easily Avoided.
''The great American trouble is dyspepsia"
No one realizes this more than the misera-
Bile sufferers who drag out painful existences.
The body requires help, strength and assist
ance. 1t calls for nUtriment but meets no
response, because the stomach is unable to
digest, assimilate and turn into blood food
that is forced into it. What then can the
poor sufferer do? It is useless to take more
food. because the broken-down stomach can
not take care Of what 1t already has
There can be but one answer to this ques-
ton and that IS to assist the stomach to
properly do the work for which 1t was Gre
ated Do you ask how? The answer Is sim
pie. There can be but one way and that Is
to help the stomach to help itself. Not by
drugs. not by mineral washes, not even by
massaging, but by constant and healthful
stimulation. It this way alone can the over
worked stomach be restored.
There is but one pure, healthful and medic
inal stimulant now known to the public and
the profession, and that is Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey. This whiskey should be taken
either before, after or with meals, and you
can readily see how by gently stimulating
the stomach when the food is taken, it en-
ables the stomach to digest the food and thus
prevent dyspepsia and the troubles which fol-
low in its wake
1t will be we'll for every reader to remember
these truths and also to remember that 1t IS
the only medicinal whiskey which can be
depended upon to accomplish what you most
require.

wHALERs HAD GOLD FEVER.
Tried to- Burn Their Vessel and Es-
cape to KIondike.

SAN FANCIsCO, Nov. 1.-THE whal-
Ing bark John S. Winthrop, Capt. Nc
Comb, arrived today from Bering sea.
She reports a catch of several whales
which yielded 10000 pounds of bone
and 900 barrels of oil. Early in July
the Winthrop spoke to the whaler Gay
head, and for the first time heard of
the KIOndike gold discoveries. The
crew became greatly excited and three
of the sailors, j. A. Kruger, o. +.
Dwight and D. w. Jones, formed
plan to destroy the vessel and make
their way to the Alaskan coast with
a view of ultimately reaching the gold
fields. They stole turpentine from the
ships stores, and, with other infam
mable material started a fire in the
hold. Fortunately the flames were eX-
tinguished before much damage was
done. The three cOnspiratOrs were at
once put in irons. Dwight made a
written confession, stating that Kreu-
ger was the originator of the plot, and
that he desired to blow up the bark
with powder taken from the whaling
bombs. During the rest of the voyage
Kreuger was kept in close confinement,
but Dwight and Jones were allowed
partial freedom. The Winthrop
brought no news of the ice-bound
whaling fleet.

at Barcelona, Spain, was a passenger
on La Bretange, which arrived from
Havre today. After spending a week
with relatives in Philadelphia, he will
leave for his new post at Chicago. He
said: The feeling in Spain against
the United States is one Of great bitter
ness. There have been no demonstra-
tons in Barcelona or Whereabouts
within the last year against the Unit
ed States, and the Spanish government
is taking care that there shall be none.
1.-The bitterness, however, is very
marked, particularly In Barcelona. Be
fore the Cuban war, Barcelona, one Of
the great manufacturing centers of
Spain, prCspered chiefly in its trade
with Cuba and America. The war in
Cuba and the Philippine islands has
cut off this trade. Barcelona has lost
the best and most lucrative market
she enjoyed. Only third of the
men hitherto employed in her factories
are now working, and they at reduced
time All over the manufacturing CEN
tiers of Spain there is similar CONNER
cial prostration. The Spanish cannot
understand why the United States, a
friendly nation, should allow so many
filibustering expeditions to get away
safely to Cuba. That fact makes them
additionally bitter. When I left Spain
there were no symptoms or anger
against the minister of the United
States to that country, Hannis Tay-
lor. The Spanish were too much alb
sorbed in what Gen. Woosford, your
new minister, might say or do. I
heard no talk there of war with the
United States. Spain has Mot the mon

the reported prospective uprising of

much danger of that now. The Car
lists would not stand much of a chance
of gain, as things are now governed

says there are eight men in the band
and last week he had information that
they had returned from Mexico and

Express route agents who were sent
out to the scene last night returned
this morning. They state that the
robbers did not get the most valuable
safe, which, with two others, was
badly warped and damaged by fire.
They think, however, that the robbers
secured several hundred dollars, but
the exact amount will not be known
for some time, as all the papers and
records of the car and safe were burn
