Tomas Estrada Palma, the head Of

that, inasmuch as the Cubans are now
more than ever firmly resolved to ac-

have no effect in terminating the war.
"We are satisfied" says he, "that
the hour of complete freedom is at

Bandits held up Chicago and Alton
express train Tuesday night at point
less than six miles from Kansas City.
The robbery is the third occurrence
OF the kind occurring on that road
within :, year.
The Chicago and st. Louis express,
which pulled out of the union depot
ut Kansas City at $50 p. m, was
stopped by eight masked men at
Evanston, q suburban stopping place
After securing complete possession
Of the engine and baggage and express
cars, the bandits placed twenty-four
sticks Of dynamite upon the big
through safe and then lifted the smaller
way safe upon the top Of it. They APP
piled the fuse and the match, but for
some reason the explosive did not 60
off.
The robbers were afraid to return 10
the express car, and, after waiting q
few minutes for the expected explo-
sion, they hurriedly left the place.
After some delay the trainmen sue
ceeded in lifting down the small safe
and throwing out the explosive, when
the journey toward st. Louis was re-
sumed.

rendered. In short time the entire
annex was enveloped in flames and in
less than twenty minutes from the

was destroyed. Nothing whatever was
saved. There were about twenty-five

Spanlards Honor WeyIer.

A special from Havana says: In
spite of Captain General Weyler's pro-
hibition a notable demonstration took
place in Havana Wednesday in his
honor. General Weyler made speech
in which he announced that he did not
intend to resign.
The bourse was closed, as was also
the principal stores and the tobacco
and other manufactures. All the main
streets were gayly decorated.
The various professions united at
Central park and then moved together
to the plaza in front of the captain
generals palace, where as many rs
90, 900 people gathered. Several bands
discoursed patriotic music. The plaza
and the thoroughfares leading into it
were densely crowded.
A number of Populations went to
the palace, where they were received
by the captain general.
They also expressed confidence that
the Madrid government was inspired
with altogether too high designs for
the welfare of the country to withdraw
the illustrious chief who has subjugat-
ed the instruction.
Captain General Weyler, after thank.
ing the Populations for their assur-
ances, said he had accepted the COM
mand in difficult circumstances and
without conditions. The success Of
the campaign could be estimated and
properly appreciated by the country
by the visible facts.
In the course of seven months four
important provinces had been nearly
pacified and he was confident Of being
able to pacify the two remaining prov
inces at the proper time with the forty
battalions ready for the task. He said
he expected to be able to pacify Puerto
