Wounding One of the Bandits
HOId-Up That Melted Little.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 20.-The San

west of Orogrande, in San Bernardino coun-
ty, at 2:20 a. m. to-day. Engineer Clifford

mortally wounded by Clifford in an ex-
change of shots. The robbers tagged the
train at the approach to the bridge, and.
boarding the engine, took the engineer and
fireman back to the express car and en-
deavored to detach it from the passenger
coach, but could not uncouple it. They sue
ceeded in cutting off the mail car and COM
PEELED the engineer to pull it up to the sid

cured the registered mail. They then backed
down to the train again, and were proceed

NO BIDS FOR GOLD.

Not at a Premium,

CHICAGO, April 2o-The Illinois Trust

that 81 100000 gold on thirty days call was
bid l per cent. premium on the New York
Stock Exchapge. The officials of the bank
at once notified the firm of Counselman,
Day G. Co. TO offer shat amount of gold or
any amount in New York TO any responsible
bidder at / per cent, II per cent, or any
premium at which there were bidders.
The New York representatives of Coun-

could not find person who wished to bid
the slightest fraction above par for gold,
not even some Of the operators who had

A MISUNDERSTANDING DAY.
Cuban Resolutions Signed and an UI-
TINA tum Sent to Spain.
! Asgociated Press Dispateh

Associated Press Dlspateh.
WASHINGTON, April 2O-This was a
day Of events in the history of the Cuban
question. The signature by the President
OF the joint resolution requiring interven-
ton in Cuba; the notification of that action
to the Spanish minister here; his demand
for passports the departments prompt re-
ply to that demand; the departure of the
Spanish minister and the transmission of
our ultimatum that Spain must evacuate
Cuba and must make answer by Saturday
through Minister Woodford followed in
rapid succession. The next step is SPAIN s
answer, if she is to make any, and the
movement OF the United States army and
navy on Cuba.
Early in the morning the execution of the
plans for the day began with a conference
between Assistant Secretary Day, ex-Sec-
retary Foster and Second Assistant Secre-
tary Adee. in which the wishes of the Pres
ident and Cabient, as well as the ulti-
Inatum, were reduced to diplomatic form
The other events succeeded each other with
rapidity. At first there was some expecta-
tion at the State Department that re-
sponse from Minister Wooc.ford might be
expected to-day. Later on, however, after
Judge Day had calculated the length Of

imply that the power undertaking it had
failed to grasp the nature Of the objective
in a naval war;
The Daily News says: 1.-THE Spanish
royal speech presents a version of history
that cannot be adopted by impartial minds.
The allegation that the United States inter-
fered because afraid that home rule might
succeed and put an end to the
civil war is preposterous. 1t is all very
well to talk Of filibustering expeditions, but
these are not spontaneous nor in any large
sense American. Nor are Spanish ministers
wise in attributing the policy of Congress
to a part only of the American people.
Sentiment must not blind them to the fact
that in this struggle for human freedom, the
United States have the right on their side.
AS for the prospects the Spaniards would
undoubtedly make a bad beginning if the
first shot fired was directed against vessels
conveying supplies to their own fellow
subjects"
The Standard says: I'VE cannot doubt
that the enthusiastic cheers which broke
out at the end of the Queen Regents speech
truly represent Spanish feeling. But the ul-
innate issue is hardly open to question, nor
can there be any doubt in the end it will
be for the good of Cuba that she should be
delivered from Spanish domination. There
have been few greater failures in history
than the attempt of Spain to maintain order
and civilized government in that great West
Indian island. For some considerable time,
however, the struggle may be severe one"

Spain could not consent to it without COM
mitting suicide as a nation"
The st. James Gazette says: 'Our sym
pathy with America does not blind us to the
fact that in Congress the least respectable
political elements have worked together in
the time of crisis, to the disgust of most
of the outsiders whose opinion is worth
having"

dent Mckinley. for Senior Sagasta. and fof
the sorely tried lady. the Queen Regent, all
of whom have labored vainly for peace

Up to-oate in Chihuahua.

After quoting THE OASIS article exposing Southworth's fake methods of the "Sonora Ilustrado," the Chi hua Enterprise says: 1t will be re- membered MT. Southworth was in Chihuahua some time ago writing up business articles for the special edition of the El Paso Herald which, on publication, to put it as mildly as possible dd not give entire satisfac. tion. Business men will ,learn after awhile, the difference between legiti- mate and fake advertising, and that more substantial benefit is derived from advertising in their own local papers than in.all the special editions published away from home.
