ADEWEY MORNING IN THEEAST

that they had been sighted by the Span
iards, for messengers ran about and shots,
evidently from machine guns, were aimed
at them. The swaying motion Of the huge
gas bag and the effect of the gravity, how
ever, prevented any Of the proJectlles from
hitting 1t and the Spaniards soon gave up,
evidently not wishing to waste ammuni-
ton.
Everything that could be desired was to
be seen by the men in the balloon. In the
harbor Of Santiago Cervera's ships swung
placidly at anchor, and now and then
launches could be seen passing back and
forth among them. With their telescopes
the Spanish warships, the camps, and the
city were brought into close range, but all
the information gained is in the possession
of General Shafter and some of the men,
bers of his staff
Sketches and maps were drawn showing
the enemys location.

MADE A GOOD HAUL
Texas Train Robbers Get Safely Away
With a Large Sum

With Large Sum
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July IA special from
Dallas, Tex, to the Post-Dispatch says:
General Manager Thorn Of the Texas and
Pacific Railroad today made the first state
ment about the train robbery on his road
near Stanton last night:
six robbers, all masked except the leader,
tagged our No. westbound express at 10
o clock last night ten miles west of Stan
ton, on the Staked Plains between the Colo
RADIO and Pecos Rivers. one of the most
desolate spots on the line.
1.-THE robbers covered the engineer and
fireman with Winchesters. cut the express
on to a sidetrack, and then blew 1t up with
dynamite. Nobody was hurt but the car
was wrecked. The robbers then blew up
the through express safe, wrecking 1t and
badly damaging its contents What money
was in the safe they took. Mounting their
horses they rode away to the southwest.
II have no way of knowing what the
express company loss is. The amount may
have been large and 1t may have been
small The Pacific Express officials alone
know the amount of the loss. This, how
ever, is not the season of the year when
railways make their heaviest money ship
ments. We did not know of the robbery In
our general offices here until after office
hours, and we are informed that three
pursuing parties are after them. Two start
ed from Midland and Stanton and larger
posse started eastward from here on a spe-
cial train under the direction of Sheriff
Lowell of Reeves county. The Texas and
Pacific Railway Company has offered a re-
ward for the capture Of each robber, and the
State of Texas will duplicate It,"
Officials of the Pacific Express Company
decline to make public how much money
the robbers secured. but they took all in the
safe. Rumor places the amount all the way
from ten to fifty thousand dollars.

THE ARTISAN BELT.
Another Gusher Struck al st
 David.

The striking of another flow Of water in the art sian belt at s'. David by Peter Gould makes the twenty-sixth artesian well now flowing at that thriving settle ment and agricultural paradise.
 MT. Gould has had enc well flowing for several months, giving sbAnt 55 gallons per minute. This we'll wa down 433 feet, but the new well, not over 200 yard. from the other, is down but 395 feet, and srange es it may seem, gives c much stronger flow than the first, measuring nearly 70 gallons fully ten inchee above the two-inch pipe.
 With the com bined flow of both wells Mir. Gould will be able to irri gate about twenty acres of corn, beans or vegetables, and he proposes from time to tune to sink enough wells to irrigats bis entire acreage.
 Several rsnchprs are busy sinking well-. and ii sll succeed in getting water the belt will extend n any nlile= lhe striking of artesisn wst-r has proven a boon to the industrious people here, and with sufficient wells to irrigate they will be independent of rhe ditch system which has been very expensive.
