THE SANTA FE "HoLD-UP."
Robbers Shot Engineer and Fireman,
but Failed to Get the Treasure.


HOUSTON. Tex, July 22.ADetails OF the
hold-up on the Santa Fe near Fort Worth
last night show it to have been one of the
boldest ever executed in Texas. The train
reached Saginaw about midnight. Two men
crawled over the tender and without a word
opened fire on the engineer and fireman.
Fireman w. w. Whitmaker was struck in
the head and breast and fell to the floor OF
the cab dead. Engineer Joseph Williams
was shot in the left leg and so badly hurt
that he was unable to obey the command
Of the bandits to start the engine. The rob-
bers then threw the engineer and the body
of the fireman to the ground, where they
were afterwards found by the relief force.
The robbers took charge of the train. which
they ran to within three miles of Fort
Worth. Here they were Joined by two other
robbers. The four men went to the express
car and demanded admittance, but the mes
senger, Howard, refused to open the door.
A stick of dynamite was placed under the
car with the fuse lighted and the bandits
retreated to avoid the explosion. The fuse
failed to explode the charge, and before it
could be fixed four officers had reached the
scene and opened fire. but the bandits es-
capped. Some seventy shots were exchanged.
one officer being hit. A reward of $1,000 for
each man has been offered and several
posses are in pursuit. The dead fireman
was buried to-day. ffs

THE CANTEEN.


There has been so much said with more
or less lack of knowledge regarding 1.-THE
canteen evip' in the army that it may be
well to state the facts in the case Post
canteens were established in 1889 The gen.
eral order establishing them, and which is
now part of the army regulations, provides
as follows:
Canteens may be established at military
posts where there are no post traders for
supplying the troops, at moderate prices
with such articles as may be deemed nec-
essary for their use, entertainment and
comfort; also, for affording them the
requisite facilities for gymnastic exercises.
billiards and other proper games. The COM
manding officer may set apart for the pur-
poses of the canteen any suitable rooms
that can be spared. such rooms. whenever
practicable, to be in the same building with
the library or reading rooms. The sale or
use of ardent spirits in canteens is strictly
prohibited; but the commanding officer is
authorized to permit wines and light beer
TO be sold therein by the drink, on week
days. and in a room used for no other
purpose. whenever he is satisfied that the
giving to the men the opportunity of OBJ
tanning such beverages within the post linn
it's has the effect of preventing them from
without such limits, and tends to promote
temperance and discipline among them.
The practice of what is known as treat
cumstances.
1t is further provided that each canteen
shall be managed by a suitable officer des-
ignated for the purpose, assisted by cam
teen steward who shall keep the accounts
and be supervised by "a standing canteen
council to consist of the two senior COM
pany commanders present and the officer in
charge" Once in three months a commit
tee of noncommissioned officers. one from
each company. to be selected by the cap
tain, is required to meet and submit re-
port for the consideration of the canteen
council as to the management Of the can

The goods 10 be kept in stock embrace a
variety Of articles necessary for the comfort
and well-being Of soldiers. All goods are
to be purchased for cash and the profits Of

mander Todd would have attracted world
wide attention. Seven gunboats doing block
ade duty outside the harbor Of Manzanillo
went inside and destroyed or drove ashore
five gunboats and several transports. Hav-
ing destroyed all the shipping in the harbor
the federal gunboats retired without the
loss of a man or the injuring of vessel
From military point of view, the destruc-
ton of the shipping was very important.

the largest in the southeastern part Of Gu
ba, and the harbor is one of the largest. 1t
was about the only important harbor that
could be used by blockade runners. The
wonder is that an attacking squadron, en-
tering the enemys harbor, could escape in
Jury.

the sales. after paying necessary expenses
including furniture. insurance, apparatus
for backgammon. domInoes, fuel. lights
etc, are to be "equitably distributed among
the several companies and detachments
contributing to the canteen, to be used and
accounted for as part of the company and
detachment funds
!, From this summary of the regulations 1t
appears that post canteens were estab-
the soldiers in the regular army. partly in
order 10 regulate and control their drinking
habits and partly to supply them with va
rious means of amusement and table COM
forts which they would not have other
wise. 1t appears further, that the man
agement and every detail of the business Of
the canteens is in the hands of responsible
officers who make regular and frequent re-
ports. The sale of beer is not primary OBJ
ject of the canteen system, but is incidental
to the main purpose. and conducted under
strict regulations. No soldier is obliged to
patronize the canteen who does not wish
to, and he may purchase any or all
the articles in stock except beer
Army officers at military posts and
at soldiers homes testify that the system
has proved very effective in restraining and
lessening the drink evil among those who
would otherwise go outside and drink to
excess of intoxicating liquors There may
not be as much necessity for such restraint
among volunteers as there is in the regular

great, while the other benefits of the CAM
teen in adding to the soldiers comforts are
alike to both. The alleged evils of the can
teen system have been greatly exaggerated
and its benefits ignored by class of re-
formers who are apt to be more jealous
than wise.

sick in the regiment. The majority have the
measles. The most serious case at present
is that OF Private Earl FISK, OF Greencastle.
who is at Fort Meyer lowering between
life and death. When DR.. Standard was re-
turned TO the regiment from the division
hospital last week, at his own request, he
received letter of recommendation from
Colonel Girrard. chief surgeon of the Sec
ond Army Corps which complimentcd his
work in the highest terms. When Drs.
Standard and Hawkins were returned from
the hospital 1t was at their own request,
after serving over six weeks All of the
regimental surgeons objected to being taken
from their own regiments and attached to
division hospitals without additional rank
or pay: result is that the division hos
geons and the hospitals reorganized. Since
his return to the One-hun6red-and-hft
ninth, DR.. Stunkard has been offered a
prominent position as brigade surgeon oy
General Sheafe. position he is now filling,
in addition to that of regimental surgeon
Two additional acting stewards have been
allowed the regiment in the persons Of DR..
Mcdonald. of Princeton, and DIR. Clifford,
of Brazil.
The medical department has recommended
that all refreshment stands near the camp
be closed for the good of the men in camp,
and it will probably be acted on.
The law giving authority to muster al
most 5000 cooks for the volunteer army was
introduced in Congress by George w. Faris.
of Indiana on the recommendation of Major
Standard while he was acting as brigade
from poor cooking. The lack of a good
cook in Company A, Twenty second Kansas,
came near causing the death OF number
of good men this week.
The postoffice authorities have announced
that an important change will soon be
made in the mail delivery at Camp Alger.
Instead of sending the mail to Fails
Church, as heretofore, it will be handled
altogether at Washington and sent to camp
four times each day prepared for each regi-
ment for delivery. At present there are but
two very uncertain deliveries each day in
camp.
The last ordnance equipment has been re-
ceived in the shape of couple of hundred
bayonet scabbards for the new men. This
is the end, and the One-hundred- and nfty-
ninth is now in perfect condition for the
field. G.. w. B.

MAGAZINE MENTION.

Pickwick, we'll printed and pleaslngly
illustrated scent Chicago magazine opens
with clever little story, by George AIDE
author of "Artie,"-an up-to-date story as
might be expected.
The Strand Magazine contains what pur-
ports to be the first authentic interview
with Marie Coreli. the English novelist. 1t
affords rather more agreeable impression
of the young woman than recent reports of
her eccentricities have created.
Advertising affords field of work for
some of the best artists nowadays. Mr.
Will Bradley furnishes the illustrations for
a booklet issued by the Towle Manufactur-
ing Company Of Newburyport, Mass, and
makes it a souvenir worth preservation.
Frederick A. Ober, late commissioner in
Porto Rico of the Columbian Exposition,
has written for the August Century an ar
ticle on THE Island of Porto Rico" The
