TRAIN PLUNDERED.
Bands of Plateados Do Desperate
Work


Havana. Jan. 1S.-Oficial news has
been received here of the halting and
plundering of a railway train near this
city on the night of Jan. 16. by bands
of Plateados. The train was the last
one running from Regla, a suburb of
Havana on the east side of Havana
bay, to Guanabacoa, five miles further
east. The robbers stopped the train
at 10:30 p. m, and, covering the pas
sengers with their guns, proceeded to
rob them of everything of value they
had about them. There were ten
Spanish officers on board the train who
had been on a pleasure trip to the
city, and were returning to GUIANA
bacoa. The robbers made prisoners
and took away with them nine of the
officers, who were subsequently re-
leased but one of them, native Gu
ban, who was killed for being in the
Spanish service.

MUNCIE, Ind. July 19.-The bold stand
the business men took yesterday against
the Young Mems Christian Band, who
threatened to prosecute all storekeepers
who transacted business, seems to have
discouraged the Christians. There were
more than the usual number of places open
and no affidavitst were filed to-day. The
band held secret meeting tonight and
there was less than dozen members pres
ent. 1t was decided that no affidavits be
filed against the violators of yesterday, but
that the executive committee call on the
dozen or more against whom the band has
they will be prosecuted if they keep open
next Sunday. The discussions at the meet
ing showed that the threats to cause the
members of the band to lose their jobs and
possibly be forced to leave the city has had
effect, as there are few of the members
who are not fearful for their names to be-
come public property, as would be neces-
sary il they get in the courts. The meeting
was held in dark corridor of the court
house The Muncte special in the journal
was denounced because of the report of the
vote taken at the Methodist Church. and
the speech by Judge w. A. Thompson in
opposition of the move, and in the same
breath members of the band stated that
Judge Thompson should not be a member
of the church, much less a member of the
board of trustees because of his ''Snarling'
speech. 1t was decided that the band should
send the Journal a statement giving the
other side of the case.

all hopes of saving the structure were given
up and efforts directed towards saving the

saved through the timely assistance of

A QUIBBLING REPLY.
Michael Davftt Calls Curzon for
Boring Sea News.

LONDON, July 19.-In the House of Com
mons to-day the Hon. George Curzon,
under secretary for foreign affairs, reply
ing to Mr.. Michael Davitt, anti-Parnellite
said the government was convinced that
the seals in Boring sea were in no immi-
nent danger at present. Correspondence
which has passed on the subject between
the two governments would be presented in
due time to the House, but probably not
before the close of the present session. He
said that the expert Investigations were be-
ing continued. Two British gunboats were
employed in those waters in 1895, three
were sent in 1896 and two this year. The
Admiralty had been asked whether third
could be spared for service there. The
United States, on the other hand, en-
ployed no gunboats, but sent six revenue
cutters in 1885, six in 1896 and five this
year. Mr.. Curzon said also that some delay
attended the completion of the report of
the British commission but the government
had never contemplated holding it back I'M
til the publication of the American report.
The British government had declined, he
added. the request of the United States for
a conference to consider more adeQuat
regulations to prevent the determination of
seals as such a conference would be pre-
mature until the experts now engaged in
collecting statistics shall have completed
their work.

JAPAN HAS NO DESIGNS
THREATS USED BY HAWAII TO
FORCE COMPLETE ANNEXATION.
Col. mcfarland Says Great Britain
Has Herself to Blame for the
Pacific Situation.
tcoresponaenee of Assoetatea press.l


LONDON, July ia representative of
the Associated Press called to-day upon
Col. j. w. NAacFarlane a prominent Ha-
waiian, as well known in London and San
Francisco as in Honolulu in order to as
certain his views the Hawaiian situa-
ton. Colonel MacFarlane, who is in Eng
land on short visit, was chamberlain to
the late King. Asked as to the causes
which led President Mckinley and Secre-
tary Sherman to send to Congress a treaty
for the annexation of the islands and
whether there was any truth in the report
that President Dole had written to Presi-
dent Mckinley stating that unless annexa-
ton to the United States We're completed
this year closer relations would be estab-
lished with Great Britain, Colonel Mac
Farlane said:
I'm reply to the latter question / would
say that 1 have it from authentic sources
that the threat was made. But what IN
nuence it had in prompting the matter of
annexation l am unable to say. AS to the
first question. l believe the primary cause of
the sudden action of the United States
President was the japanese situation on
the islands.
II quite agree with the statement of the
Japanese minister at Washington that the
Mkado's government has no designs what
ever on Hawaii-she does not wish TO OBJ
tain political control there. That Japan
will the quarrel arising from the immi-
grafton matter for taking possession of the
islands of assuming political control l
regard utterly absurd. But there can
not be any doubt that the Japanese ques-
ton has been used as a lever for forcing
the hand of Mr.. Mckinley and his admin
istration. The threat of establishing closer
relations with Great Britain of conclud-
ing reciprocity commercial treaties with
Canada and Australia probs bly, influenced
the United States far more tlIan the Japan
csc bogy.
Dealing with the effect the proposed an
nexation of the islands could have upon
Great Britain, Colonel MackaTlane said:
Should the Panama or Nicaragua canals
become fats aCcOmpliS, these islands will be
in the direct route to Japan and Australia
and would form the only available cOaling
and supply stations with the far East.
With regard to the British Pacific cable "
will become an impossbility if Hawaii is
annexed to the United States
Regarding the feeling in Hawaii towards
annexation Colonel MacFarlane said: II
begin to feel that owing to English supne-
ness and Indifference to the Hawaiian queS-
ton since the establishment of the Repub-
lie, annexation is inevitable. While being
somewhat pro- English in my sentiment, l
am forced to admit that / would not oppose
annexation, nor would the intelligent voters
of Hawaii, if full statehood as an integral
to the islands. / would oppose a ratifica-
ton of the treaty by Hawaii if she were
only admitted as territory like Alaska, as
understand is proposed"
