car and attempted to haul it away.
They abandoned their task soon after
without getting any money. The safe

Engineer Gardner obeyed the signal to
stop and one of the robbers cut loose
the engine, running il down the track

smoker and remained there. Fifteen
shots were fired to terrorize the pass

pressmen here state that the robbers

siderable booty was secured.

CAPTAIN BRADFORD.
Will Leave for Paris to Assist the
Peace Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The first
word that has come to Washington
from the American Peace Commission
since their departure was received at
the Navy Department to-day, being a
cablegram requesting that Captain
Bradford, Chief of the Equipment Bu-
reau, be sent at once to Paris to as
sist the commission.
AS the officer is the leading expert of
the Navy Department in the matter of
coallng stations, ocean routes of COM
munication and strategic points, the
inference is that the Commission ex-
poets to begin the consideration of
those subjects so far as they relate to
the Philippines and the Ladrones. Re
Specting the latter group, in which the
United States, Commissioners are to
make a selection for a coaling station,
it has been found that the only good
harbor is on the island CT Guam, the
capital of the group, which was cap
tured by one of the warships bound for
Manila; yet if that is taken there will
be SO little of the group thus left with
out an ocean harbor, it is believed that
it would be best for both parties, the
United States and Spain. to allow all
of the islands to go with Guam into
United States possession.
Captain Bradford has taken passage
on the Lucania, sailing from New York
next Saturday.
