TRAIN ROBBED.
Bandits OverpOwer an Express Mes-
senger Near Wichita, Kan, and -
Escape with the Booty,

Wichita, Kan, July 1s.-The Frisco
passenger train, leaving here at $3.50
o'clock for st. Louis, was held up Sat-
urday night by two masked men at
Andover, a station ten miles east of
here. A citizen of Andover, who
learned of the plan to rob the train,
attempted to notify the train crew and
was shot by the robbers. He will prob
ably die. His name could not be
learned. Several hundred dollars were
taken from the express car, but the
exact amount is not known here, and
there is no way of finding out. as all
attempts to raise the Andover office
have failed. Andover is flag station
and has about 200 people.
Two men rode into town at dark and
tied their horses in the street near the
depot. They avoided everybody and
acted in such a mysterious way that
they were suspected and a man was
sent down the road to flag the train.
He was shot by the robbers just few
minutes before the train arrived. AS
soon as the engineer slowed down the
men, wearing heavy masks, entered
the express car and demanded the
money. The messenger drew a re-
volver, but was gagged and disarmed,
after which the men took the valu-
ables from the safe. No attempt was
made to rob the passengers. After get
ting what money they could, the rob-
bers rode off across the prairie at a
full gallop, firing back toward the town.
The sheriff and posse followed from
here. ~

Michaels, bringing men and treasure
from the Klondikc. There were 176
passengers on her list and the amount
of their earnings, in gold dust, nuggets
and bank drafts, is estimated by the
ships officers at S3,000,O00. The largest
amount brought out by single pros
pector is in the possession of N. I.
Picket, who has $4,000, principally in
gold dust and nuggets.

THE LAWS OF ABYSSINIA.
How Criminals Are Punished in EN-
pcror Mcnclcl>'s Back Num-
Der Country.

The laws of Abyssnia are primitive
and based on those of the Israelites:
AN eye for an eye" There are neither
law courts nor lawyers; both plaintiff
and defendant plead their own cause.
Formerly, prior to the appointment by
King Theodore of eNecutioners, the
guilty person, in case of murder, was
slain in exactly the same manuer in
which he had taken the life of his vic
tim. For instance, if a man killed an.
other with a sword, the avenger OF
blood had to use a similar weapon. II
death had been caused by blows from
a club, club was used to take the life
of the murderer. This law NEST I'M
justly operated even in cases of man
slaughter; and the life of man who
unwittingly anil unintentionally had
caused the death Of another could be
demanded by the relatives of the de-
ceased.
Among many others. an instance OF
this kind was orce related to me. Two
men were cutting grass on the SIDE of
precipice, and when they were about to
descend one of them fastened the end
of a rope around his companions body
to lower him down the cliff, and at
tached the other end to the trunk of
tree. Accidentally the man to be low.
cred slipped before all was ready, and
coil OF the rope becoming entangled
round his neck he was strangled His
comrade, on subsequently descending
by slipping down the rope, was horri-
fled to find him dead at the bottom, and
fastened to the village to report the cir
cumstance. The judge passed a sem
tence of manslaughter, and ordered
fine Of $50 to be paid to the widow.
The widow, however, refused the COM
pensation and demanded the literal
carrying out Of the law.
After some de.iberation it was agreed
that she should carry her point. ard the
unfortunate and perfectly innocent
man was sentenced to be hanged with
the same rope which had caused the
fatal accident; the rope was, accord
ingly, fastened round his neck, and he
was hauled up = few feet from the
ground. suspended few moments and
then lowered again. The widow, be-
lieving him from all appearances to be
dead, was satisfied; but the relatives Of
the victim fastened to him and applied
restoratives, which were so effective
that in course of time he got up and
walked away. The widow was furious,
and demanded that sentence should be
again enacted, adding: "Next time
will hold on to his feet until he is dead
The judge, however, declared that ius-
tice must be tempered with mercy, and
her demand was not complied with

TELLS OF THE SURRENDER.
Gen. Skaters Dispatch-To Have
Taken City by Assault Would
Have Cost 5000 Lives.

Washington, July 1S.-The Ameri-
can flag is now waving over Santiago.
The first message conveying the news
of Santiago's formal surrender was
received at the white house shortly be-
fore II o'clock, just as the president
was preparing to go to church.
Late in the afternoon the official dis
patch came from Gen. Shafter giving
in brief military fashion an unusually
clear statement from the general of
the days events. It was entirely sat
isfactory from every point of view,
showing that the American army was
in complete control of city that it
would have cost 5000 lives to capture
by storm. Moreover, it was very en-
couraging from medical view, in that
it showed, contrary to what had been
expected, that there was little sick
ness and scarcely any yellow fever in
Santiago, but great deal of suffering
and distress. Following is the dis
patch:
Santiago de Cuba. July 17.-Adjutant
General United States Army. Washington:
I have the honor to announce that the
American flag has been this instant, ~
o'clock noon. hoisted over the house Of
the civil government in the city of Santi-
ago. An immense concourse of people pres
ent. A squadron Of cavalry and regiment
Of Infantry presenting arms and band
playing national air. Light battery fired
salute q guns. Perfect order Is being main
tanned by municipal government. Distress
is very great, but little sickness in town.
Scarcely any yellow fever. A small gum
boat and about 200 seamen left by Cervera
have surrendered to me. DISTINCTIONS are
being removed from mouth Of harbor
Upon coming into the city I discovered a
perfect ENHANCEMENT Of defenses. Fight
ing as the Spaniards did the first day it
would have cost 5000 lives to have taken
it. Battalions Of Spanish troops have been
depositing arms since daylight in the
armory. over which I have guard Gen
Toral formally surrendered the place and
all stores at nine a. m.
wv. r. SKATER. Major Genera
At 11:O5 o'clock Sunday night Adjt.
Corbin made public the following dis
patch from Gen. Shafter:
Headquarters United States Army. San

A: My ordnance officers report about 1000
rifles turned IN to-day and 600. 600 cartridges.
At the mouth Of the harbor there are quite

a number of fine modern guns, about six
inch; also two batteries of mountain guns.
together with a saluting battery of Is old
bronze guns. Disarming and turning in
will go on tomorrow. List of prisoners
not yet taken. SHAFTER,
Major General COMMANDING"
I, During the day the secretary of war
Endorsed the plan Of Col. Hecker for
the transportation of the Spanish forces
at Santiago back to Spain, approving
a circular Col. Hecker had prepared
calling for bids for transporting the
Spaniards home. 1t provides for an ag-
gregate of 1000 Spanish officers with
$4,000 soldiers with third-class steer
age passage. The circular says that
the Spanish forces will be delivered on
board at Santiago for transportati ton
to Cadiz, Spain, or such other port as
may be designated. It is provided that
the accommodations are to be up to the
standard required by the United States
army regulations as to officers and
men, in regard to galieys, ventilation,
ETC. The subsistence furnished is to
be equal to the prescribed United
States army ration, which is set forth
in detail as guide to bidders as to
what they must furnish.
The only disquieting information re-
ceived during the day was as to the yell
low fever conditions at the front, and
this dispatch was modified in an en-
couraging way by Gen. Skaters later
news. It was dispatch from Col.
Greenleaf, chief surgeon with the army
in Cuba, saying that is new cases had
appeared. While this was regarded
with some appreh by laymen, the
surgeon generals department consid-
cred the showing entirely satisfactory.
Col. Alden, acting surgeon general dur
ing the absence of Gen. Sternberg, said
a report Of only 16 cases was an ex-
ceptionally good showing, as the num-
Der must be taken relatively to the large
number Of men at the front.

Resignation Acceptea.

Des Moines, Ia, July 1s.-The board

college at Ames has accepted the res
ignation Of Prof. J. L. Budd, in the
chair of horticulture for many years.
He is well known to all horticulturists.
A fight has been made on him for years
by Iowa nurserymen opposed to his
introducing Russian fruit trees. He
resigned to care for his own horticul-
tural interests.

Irvine Goes Tn.

The situation with regard to binding
Irvine has grown so desperate on &C
count of the high prices that Warden
Wolfer of the state prison will be
asked to compel the dealers who Sc
cured Irvine from his institution to
keep within the law creating the Irvine
factory and sell at only reasonable
profit. The price on Irvine has gone
up from 6}4 cents per pound to 20 and
% cents, and the farmers will be
mulcted for thousands of dollars.
What Warden Wolfer can do may have
to be decided in the courts.
