FOUR MEN DO THE JOB WITHIN
TWELVE MILES OF AUSTIN.

suing the Bandits.
Austin, Tex Oct. 12-This afternoon at
$50 O'Clock. within twelve miles of the
corporate limits of Austin, the south bound
cannon ball train on the International and
Great Northern railroad, consisting of
mail, baggage and express cars and three
coaches, loaded with passengers, was held
up by four men and robbed.
The conductor of the train, Tom Healy,
was shot by the robbers while resisting
them, but not seriously wounded. One
of the passengers had his shirt collar car.
ried away by pistol ball that was aimed
at his neck, and another received a bull
let wound in the hand.
The passengers were robbed of about 800
in money. The bandits attempted to rifle
the safe in the express car, but were un-
successful.
When the train reached Mcneil, a small
station four miles above this city, two
men, heavily armed boarded it and stood
on the rear platform. After the conductor
had checked up the train he stepped on
the platform. only to find a pistol on
either side of his head. The men demand
ed that he stop the train He declined. to
do SO. and began to run through the
train with the two robbers in close pur-
suit. He had not gone half the length
of the first car when the foremost robber
shot at him, bringing him to the floor
with pistol wound in his right arm.
At this juncture the other robber pulled
the bell cord and the train was brought
to a stand still. 1t was evidently at the
appointed place, for the train had hardly
stopped before two other men, whose faces
were covered with masks stepped out from
the trees and began shooting into the cars,
The two men on the train were joined by
those from the woods and they began
work. AS the train porter sprang from
the rear coach and ran Tor shelter. a rob
ber began shooting at him, and the negro
emptied a revolver in return without ef-
feet. The express messenger ran through
the woods and was soon lost to
sight. The robbers, in the meantime,
leaving two men to guard the three
coaches which were packed with passen-
gers, proceeded to the express car and de-
manded that the baggageman open the
express safe, but upon being assured that
he could not do so, turned their attention
to the passengers. They took only money
| from them, not overlooking a cent. After
! securing about $500, they uncoupled the
! engine and started down the track. After
| going several miles they set the lever at
| a moderate gait, left the engine and ran
| into the woods.
The engine was captured at the flag sta
ton at Duval. The station agent return
ed to the scene of the robbery with the
engineer, secured the train and came to
this city, arriving here shortly after dusk.
officers have gone to the scene of action
with bloodhounds. The two men who
boarded the train at Mcneil were not
masked.

NEW POLICY IN CUBA.
Thought the Employment of Cuban
Volunteers VIII Decrease Cost.

Madrid, Oct. PA semi-oniciaI state
ment issued after the cabinet meeting of
yesterday, says that by employing native
volunteers in Cuba instead Of European
troops, the expenses of the campaign
would decrease. and the operations against
the insurgents would be conducted more
rapidly.
Senor Gullon, the minister for foreign af-
fairs, has communica ted to his colleagues
the views of the European and American
press in regard to the new ministry point
ing out that the foreign newspapers are
almost unanimously the opinion that the
programme of Senior Sagasta, the new pre-
mier of Spain, has caused an important
change in the attitude of the Washington
cabinet leading to the belief that the de-
cision on the Cuban question will now enter
upon more favorable phase and demon
straton; that the steps taken by the min
istry have had an excellent effect in show
ing that the government is choosing prac-
tical means to solve the existing difficult
ties.
The minister for the colonies, Senior
Moret, announced at the cabinet meeting
with a view to proving the sincerity of
the governments promise to grant au-
tonomy to Cuba, that he had telegraphed
to Senor Montoro, the leader of the auton-
omist party, asking him to nominate can
didates for appointment for some of the
important posts under the Cuban admin
istration.

There has been for sons time a general

has likewise found its way into the houses
of the rich, and on handsome mansions to-

residence, thoroughfares from which the
ugly red and yellow flags are hung. OF

SITE FoR FHE ARMoR PLANT.
Naval ArmOr board TO Take "A south-
ern Trip of Inspection.

ern TriD OF Inspection.
Washington, oct. 12.-The naval armor
board will leave Washington next satur-
day for the south to look at certain places
with view to ascertaining their availa-
bility for sites for the proposed armor
plant.
The first stop will be made at Birming-
ham, Ala. Thence the board goes to Shelf
field, Ala, Chattanooga, Tenn, Knoxville
and Elizabethton, Tenn, in the order
named.
1t Is barely possible that later on the
board will visit Piedmont, on urgent re-
quest of West Virginia public men. A
number of appeals are coming to the de-
partment from various localities possess
ing any kind of an iron plant to have the
board sent there to look at their resources,
but in view of the fact that the board has
no authority to make any recommenda-
tions as to the location of the plant il is
felt that such time would not be usefully
spent. BY the act of congress, Secretary
Long is charged with the duty of submit
ting a description of the lands, building
and machinery needed for an armor plant
but this is not construed TO mean anything
more than the submission of plans for
plant. although he may volunteer a recon-
mendation as to the site.

Washington, oct. 12.-Secretary Sherman
has written a reply to the note of Lord
Salisbury expressing Great Britain decli-
nation to take part In Bering sea con-
ference In which Russia and Japan are to
participate, The essential features of Mr..
Sherman's reply have been sent by cable
to the British government and the reply
in full Is now on its way to the British
authorities.
Lord Salsbury's note of declnation, ID
can now be stated, bore date of Oct. 6
last Wednesday--so that the response is
made with promptness.
The answer states that the United States
government views with astonlshment the
determination Of Great Britain not to par
ticipate In a conference including Russia
and Japan, and the statement is made
that up to Sept. % the United States au-
thoriues had fully expected that the con-
ference would proceed with Russia ana
Japan, as well as Great Britain, present.
lt Is pointed out that aside from the
written correspondence, to which Lord
Salisbury had called attention, there were
verbal negotiations between Ambassador
Hay and his lordship, in which specific

of Russia and Japan.
AT one OF these verbal exchanges, II ia
stated, Lord Salisbury said he would ad-
wise with the officials Of the foreign Office
concerning the subjects discussed, which
included the participation of Russia and
Japan. Subsequently, on July 20, Ambassa-
dor Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury saying
tho President hoped to have Russia and
Japan participate in the conference. I'M
view Of these circumstances the United
states had confidently expected that
Great Britain would take part in the con-
ference and that Russia and Japan would
be represented with the approval Of Great
Britain.
Beside the foregoing reply, and In view
of the differences which have arisen, the
state department suggests a conference in
accordance with the terms of Lord Salis-
bury's agreement, as he CONSTITUTES It..

BURGLARS MURDER TWO WOMEN.
They Enter n House at Camden and
shoot Down the Occupants.

Camden. ~ j., oct. 1.-TWO women, an
aged and widowed mother and her daugh-
ter, also a widow were murdered early
this morning at their home. 2l2 Line street,
by burglars.
The former was Mrs. Emma Zane. aged
rs years, widow of Capt Eli Zane. and
the daughter was Mrs. Sarah Nj. Shaw,
aged 45 years.
The murderers escaped and the police
are without a clue. The only witness to
the shooting was ELI Shaw, a son of Mrs
Shaw, who has been suffering from a Sc
we're attack Of typhoid fever The shock
was so great that he was unable to de-
fend the woman, and he has thus far
been unable to assist the police in dis
covering the murderers.
The tragedy occurred between 4:30 and )
o'clock and was almost certainly the re-
suit of an attempt at robbery Mrs.
Zane was reputed to be well-to-do and the
neighborhood Is said to be infested by a
number of tough characters. The only
story of the murder thus far Is that gath
cred by the police from the son. He says
he was asleep in a third-story back room,
and was awakened by a noise on the lower
floor. He notified his mother and started
down stairs to investigate.
on the second floor his mother Joined
him and went before him into "A rear room.
The next instant q pistol shot rang out
and Mrs. Shaw fell TO the floor. The son
saw the forms of two men crouching In
a dark corner of the room, and. terrified,
ran to the front room and called for the
police.
Mrs. Zane was dead when found, and
Mrs. Shaw was taken TO the Copper hos
pital, where she died few minutes later.
The son was turned over to relatives.
An examination of the promises indicated
that the house had been entered by forcing
the window Of a kitchen in the rear. A
lot of silverware had been gathered on
the first floor, and packed ready to be
taken away. The police learned THAT Mrs.
Zane had $3.50 in her possession yesterday.
No arrests have been made. Shaw does
not know that his mother and grandmother
are dead and the news Is being kept from
him for fear OF serious results.

CHICAGO AND DENVER CUT.
VIII Maintain the Reduced Rates
Until Agreement Is Reached.

VIII Maintain the Reduced Rates
Until Agreement Is Reached.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-All the lines be-
tween Chicago and Denver have met the
reduced freight rates announced yester-
day by the Burlington road. The cut rates
will remain In effect until a complete un-
derstanding Is reached with the southwest
ern lines regarding the rates made by the
Mallory Line via Galveston, which were
the cause OF the reduced rates made by tho
Burlington.
The reduced rates made by the Mallory
Line via Galveston were cutting down the
business of the western roads between
Chicago and Denver, and there was Moth
ing for them to do but cut the rates or see
the traffic go in some other direction.
The lines between Chicago and Denver
claim that they would not have been COM
PEELED TO reduce rates If the roads between
the Gulf of Mexico and Colorado common
points had maintained rates. but it is as
serted that they were all the time cutting
them, and that, therefore, 1t became ne
cessary for the Chicago-Denver roads to
follow their example.

SOCIALIST LABOR CANDIDATE.
Lucian SanieI Opens His Campaign
For Mayor OF New York.

For Mayor OF New York.
New York, Oct. 12.-Lucian Saniel the
socialist-labor candidate for mayor, open
ed his campaign at Cooper Union Tonight
In the large crop of mayoralty candidates,
Mr.. Saniel has been almost lost sight of.
yet he attracted a bigger meeting than
that which ratified the nomination of
Gen Tracy; as big as that addressed by
Seth Low last Thursday night, and al
most as large as the one which nominated
Henry George.
Mr.. Saniel IS a Frenchman, who writes
some cutting things in English, but his
oratory is not effective. because he has
not mastered the pronunciation of the
language he writes so well.
The platform was decorated with red
flags. There was a band and about as
much enthusiasm as marks the average
political gathering. The people gave ex'
preston to their displeasure by Kissing
the mention of the name of capitalists.
Saniel bitterly assailed the other candi-
dates for mayor Henry George farlng no
better than the rest.
Daniel de Leon, also addressed the meet
ing. There were overflow meetings on the
outside, which were addressed by num-
ber of socialist orators.
The ratification meeting of the Tammany
democracy at Tammany hall tomorrow
night, arrangements for which have been
completed, promises to be one of the most
largely attended gatherings in the history
of the organization. Besides the meeting
in the large hall there will be overflow
meetings on Fourteenth street and in Irv-
ing Place.
Ex-Gov. Campbell of Ohio, Congress
man Amos J. Cummings and Thomas f.
Grady will be among the speakers.
