from the six company employees, and the
robbers realized that the company had

firing as they ran, and were pursued BY
the company detectives, who also kept
up a rapid fire.
Jim West, a freight engineer on the
Missouri Pacific, running between Soda

POLO on Autonomy.

It is impossible TO believe that
trained Spanish diplomatist is fool.
Spain may produce butchers. hyenas
and man-eating sharks, but as far as
its diplomatic service is concerned it
does not create anything idiotic. For
further particulars on this branch Of
the topic We recommend those inter
ested to consult President Mckinley
and Judge Day.
II does not follow that because a
Spanish diplomat is not an ass himself,
he does not think that the American
people are Of that peculiar breed. Senor
Polo. the Spanish Minister. shows this
in a letter which he has written to
some one in Connecticut. In it he is
represented as saying:
Ignorance Of certain facts and eXaggeration OF
ofhers las created a fictitious state Of opinion
that certainly could not exist ID the exact truth
were known. It is next 10 impossible, now, 10

Spain cannot appoint single clvll officer IN the

MR.. BRYANS ADDRESS.
He Believes That the Time for Inte~-
ycntioB Has Arrived.

Reading Pa, April l2-William j. Bry-
an addressed a very large audience at
the Academy OF Music tonight on the
money question. In his opening remarks
he said he made the engagement with
Reading with the understanding that he
would have the right to cancel it provid-
ing war had in the meantime been de-
clared by the United States against Spain
Until the Administration had shaped It's
policy he said, we, as loyal citizens
should not criticise. While the independ-
ence of Cuba was important the money
question is also important
Mr.. Bryan said:
THE time for intervention has arrived.
Humanity demands that we shall act.
Cuba lies almost within sight of our
shores and the sufferingS of her people
cannot be ignored unless We, as a nation,
have become so engrossed in money max
ing as to be Indifferent to distress.
Intervention may be accompanied by
danger and expense, but existence cannot
be separated from responsibility; and re-
sponsibility sometimes leads nation as
well as an individual into danger
neighbor must sometimes incur danger
from q neighbor and a friend from
friend. War is terrible thing and can
not be defended except as a means to an
end; yet it is sometimes the only means
by which a necessary end can be secured
1.-The state Furnishes its own citizens by
Imprisonment or even death when counsel
and persuasion fail. War is the final ar
bitter between nations when reason and
! diplomacy are of no avail Spain might
| not resist Intervention. 1t is to be hoped
! that she will recognize the rights of the
| United States to act and Immediately
| withdraw from Cuba, but whether she
resents intervention or not, the United
States must perform plain duty. Spain
| has herself TO blame for the condition
| of affairs in Cuba. Let her remember the
words of Victor Hugo: The mob is the
human race in misery no nation can ar
ford to make it's people miserable.
Mr. Bryan will leave for Washington
| in the morning.
