KiNGSBURG FA7HER'S DISGRACE
Cots htox'catsd While Going to Bury
HIS Dead Babe and Ksg/scfs
Hs MssioE.

FRESNO, CAL, May 4-Early this
cart hitched on the street, and as the ami
NAL had been standing there all night
without food or water an officer took the
rig to livery stable. It was apparent
that the conveyance was from the coun-
try, and seeing box in the bottom of the
cart the sta blemen came to the conclusion
that 1t contained a crate of straw berries.
Their mouths began to water for the
luscious berries, and finally they yielded
to the tenn ptation and broke open the
box.
To their horror they found that it con-
tanned dead baby wrapped among some
sheets. The matter was reported to Coro-
ner Long, and after a search of several
hours the owner of the vehicle was found.
His name is John Ryan. A policeman
found him sleeping off a spree In door
wav of the Fiske building
When awakened he was considerably
sobered and he Immediately inquired for
the whereabouts of his horse and cart.
When told where they were he asked
about the box, which he said contained his
dead babe. Mr.. Ryan further explained
that his home was at Kingsburg and
that he started out yesterday to bring the
dead child to this city for burial. He be-
gan drinking at saloons on the way, and
when he arrived in Fresno last night he
tied up the horse and went on spree. He
felt his dlsgraceful conduct very keenIy.
1t was ascertained that the death of the
child was from natural causes and that
there was no need for an inquest Mr..
Ryan was permitted to bury the little one
at the cemetery this afternoon.

They HOldUp a Southern
Pacific Train in
Texas.
BY Blowing Open Safes the
Bandits Secure Several
Thousand Dollars.
Passengers Not MoIested, but Thew
Are Duly Warned by Volley
of Shots.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, May 14.-The
Southern Pacific train, westbound, was
held up and robbed this morning at Lo.
zier, flag station, 265 miles west of here.
There were three men in the party, and
while one stood guard over the engineer
and fireman the other two attacked the
express-car with dynamite.
The car was shattered to pieces, the top
and side being blown away. Messenger
w. ID. Joyce narrowly escaped. Two rob-
bers then entered the wrecked car. The
one guarding the engineer and fireman
brought his charges back to the car and
forced them to help clear away the wreck
age so dynamite could be placed on the
through and local safes. Both safes were
then shattered. The robbers took every
thing of value and, it is believed, secured
several thousand dollars
The robbers held the train for nearly
an hour and half and then noun te d
horses and rode off, firing q volley OF
shots at the train as warning that pur-
suit would be dangerous.
The passengers were unmolested. The
through safe was opened last at Houston,
and the local manager of the Wells Fargo
Express Company claims to have no
knowledge OF the amount it contained
The Federal authorities of this district
have had positive knowledge for three
months past that the robbery of South
ern Pacific train was being planned. The
robbers were from New Mexico. Their
names are known to United States Mar
shall Ware. 1t is expected their capture
will be easily effected.

to Death.
Unfortunate Old Men, Women

President Mckinley Intends to
Send Prompt Aid to Ameri-
cans in Cuba,

HAVANA, CUBA, May 14.-The Spanish
gunboat Diego Velasquez entered on
Wednesday the Bay of Cionfuegos. carry
ing twenty-tour families of pacifcos from
the province of Santa Clara. The families
were found near shore starving and were
sent to outposts at Cienfuegos with other
famine stricken non-com atants by orders
of WeyIer.
At Pozo Lunar, Santa Clara province, a
Spanish battalion found seventy-four
families starving in huts. Instead of Civ
ing them any relief the Spaniards treated
them brutally. Women, old men and
children were brought to place near the
Spanish fort and were obliged to stay
there within sight of the guard without
shelter or focd.
At Gunes, Havana province, several
Spanish physicians were detailed to re-
port on sanitary measures necessary 10
check smallpox. They were so much
impressed by the situation that even at
the risk of being perse cuted they presented
a few days ago to the sanitary department
of the town a report denouncing the care
lessness OF the Spanish authorities. In
the suburbs they found persons stricken
with smallpox without any medical as
sistance and crowded into small huts.
The reservoir which provides drinking
water for the town is terribly poll
More than foot of organic matter coats
the bottom. After the report was pre-
sented the sanitary department ordered a
new hospital erected Immediately. The
sick were transferred to the new building
and abandoned there, and after thirty six
hours without assistance the majority
died from hunger.
At Ell Limonar, near Matanzss, Spanish
guer .illas in attempting 10 reconnoiter
neighboring hills ieil into an mbush.
Forty out of 100 guerrillas were killed. The
remainder fed TO Limonar. There they
avenged themselves on unarmed and
starving pacificos, attacking them with
machetes and killing women and chill
dren. Sixty pacificos were killed.
In Santa Clara province 500 persons
died from hunger last week. The Ameri.
can Consulate is surrounded by men, spy
ing on those who bring in news about the
situation.
A correspondent has conferred with in
tuential persons here about Calhoun's s
visit and measures that could be taken by
the American Govern ment in behalf of
American victims OF the famine. The
general opinion is that Calhoun will find
the situation worse than reported. though
the Spaniards will make all possible efforts
to thwart the investigation.
Spanish forces under Colonel Alfau on
their way to Canasi, Matanzas province,
heard firing at Vista Hermosa. Alfau
turned off TO help the Spaniards. His
vanguard, led by Lieutenant Guardia, fell
into trap and was destroyed by Cubans,
Guardia him self being killed. The bat
talon left eighty killed on the field. Near
CobTe, Santiago de Cuba province, the
Spanish forces of Buenavista we're routed
under Carlos Garcia, son of General Gar
cia. They left on the field Twelve killed
and fifteen wounded.
