SANTA FE-PACIFIC HOLD UP.
Engineer Of West Bound Train Killed and
Passenger Injured.

Passenger Injured.
San Francisco, April 3O.-The Santa
Fe Pacific west bound passenger train
was held up at Orc Grande, $50 miles
east of Mojave, at o'clock this morn
ing. Engineer Clifford was killed and a
passenger injured. The robbers tagged
the train at the approach to bridge,
and, boarding the engine, took the engi-
neer and fireman back to the express
car, and endeavored to detach it from
the first passenger coach, but could not
uncouple it. They succeeded in cutting
off the mail car and compelled the engi-
neer to pull it up to siding where they
rifed the mail and secured the regis
tered mail. They then backed down to
the train again and were proceeding to
the express car, when Engineer Clifford
opened fire on them with revolver.
He fatally wounded one robber, Paul
Jones, of Orc Grande, but the other es-
capped after shooting Clifford with a
charge of buckshot. Clifford died at
once. Express Messenger Mott re-
mained on the rear platform of the ex-
press car. The train with the body Of
the engineer proceeded to Los Angeles.
The sheriff arrived at the scene at 6
o'clock and tracked the other robber
into the hills. He had horse. His
identity is unknown. The robbers got
nothing but the registered mail.

the government should not make public
an ultimatum to foreign power, until
after it's receipt by that power
1t was reported here today in official
circles that the ultimatum to Spain had
been actually sent last night and by
this time was in the hands Of the Span
ish foreign Office The report came
from sources entitled to credence but
lacked confirmation officially.
The president will announce to con-
gress this afternoon that he has signed
the Cuban resolution and sent his ulti-
matum.
1t is understood that the ultimatum
consists largely of diplomatic para
phrase of the joint resolution of con-
gress and concludes with the state
ment that this government awaits
Spain's reply. 1t gives Spain until Sat-
urday at noon to answer, and announ-
ces if satisfactory response is not re-
ceived from Spain, the president will
proceed to carry out the act of congress.
In the ultimatum the president does
not name any hour on Saturday prior to
which Spain must make answer, If at
all, to our demands, but reasonable
night Saturday will. be regarded as a
compliance with the terms OF The ultl-
matum.
Differ as to Time Limit.
Persons who have seen the utmatum
differ as to whether the time limit is
noon on Saturday, or midnight Satur-
day. The text must decide, and it will
probably be given out tonight.
Destiny of a Nation Involved
One of the members of the cabinet
said that the government would not hold
stop-watch on Spain, and could well
afford to give her three days in which to
decide question which may involve the
destiny of the nation. In the meantime
war preparations will 60 forward with
renewed activity There seems but
little doubt that the first move will be 70
blockade one or more Cuban ports, and
as soon as an army of occupation can be
transported, demand will be made for
an unconditional surrender. In the
event of a refusal, work of reducing
them by bombardment will be begun.
Minister Polo's Request for Passports.
At 11:2O this morning Minister Polo
received a copy of the ultimatum. He
handed the messenger his reply and with
it, request for his passports.
The Spanish minister's request for his
passports, sent Immediately on receipt
of the ultimatum, was as follows:

CUBAN DEBATE IN SENATE
House Passed Volunteer Army Bill-Min-
lister Polo's Passports Have Been
Sent Him-Arranging to Send
Troops to Cuba.

Washington, April 2o.-At the cabi-
net meeting yesterday afternoon the
general features and form of the ulti-
matum were agreed upon. The original
draft was made by Assistant Secretary
DAY, and revised copy, made this
morning under his direction, was laid
before the president about 1910 o'clock.
Several members of the cabinet had
called as well as a number of prominent
senators and members of the house. 1t
was known that the question of giving
to the press copy of the ultimatum as
soon as it was signed, was under discus
sion, but no one could state whether
this would be done or not. At 11:24 all
speculation was brought to an end by
the announcement that the president
had at that moment signed the resolu-
tions passed by congress; that the ulti-
matum had been signed some time be-
fore and that the latter would not be
made public until tomorrow. There
were present in the cabinet room when
the president signed the resolutions,
Secretary Alger, Attorney General
Griggs, Secretary Bliss, Senator Elkins
and Mr.. Charles Emory Smith.
The signing of the Cuban resolutions
by the president was an exceedingly in
teresting event, although without spe-
cial incident. General Alger brought
from the War department a pen which
he requested the president to use. There
was considerable feeling manifested by
those about, but no demonstration or
congratulations.
The Presidents Ultimatum.
Report says that the ultimatum re-
cited the act of congress in substance
and requested Spain to answer the de-
mands made. 1t is understood to be the
presidents intention to send to congress,
on reassembling at noon, advice OF the
fact that he had signed the Cuban reso-
lutions, and a copy of his ultimatum.

RUBBER FROM CORN.
Glucose Company Expects 10 supply
Material tor bicycle Tires.

Chicago, April 29.-Chemists of the
Glucose Sugar Refining company
claim to have discovered a process for
vulcanizing the oil from corn in such
a manner as to produce rubber. They
say this will revolutionize the rubber
trade and give them control of at least
the manufacture of bicycle tires.
Five chemists in the employ of the
company have been working on this
innovation for some months past, and
II is said that they will be ready TO
report to a meeting of the company
which is to be held this afternoon.
According to reports, the chemists
have found that the oil of the corn
properly treated and vulcanized is su-
pcrior to that Of the product of the
South American rubber tree, is more
resilient and moro lasting; and it is
said that the manufacture of rubber
under the new process will become an
important part of the business of the
glucose company. The process was ac-
cidentally discovered some months ago
by one of the chemists of the company.
1t is also said that the new process
Will greatly lessen the cost of rubber,
especially that variety that is used in
the manufacture of bicycle tires, which
is required to be thin, durable and
resilient 1t is claimed that the new
variety of rubber will withstand much
more pressure than that now in use
for tires and that il will offer more
resistance TO outside force.
