FL PAso, Tex, July 3.-Six heavily armed and masked men held up No. 3, the westbound passenger train on the Rio Grande division of the Texas dS Pacific railroad, Friday night at point five miles west of Stanton aud about 325 miles from here.

 Was Through Passenger Train.
 The train held up was q through pas senger from New Orleans, and had on board number of passengers from the north who came on board at Fort Worth The train arrived at Stanton about 10 Y Ill. 1t was several minutes late and the engineer pulled out in hurry, with the intention of making up some Ot the lost tune.
 On n Lonely stretch of Prairie.
 About five miles west of Stanton, on lonely stretch of prairie, the train was brought to standstili by six heavily-armed men, who wore masks They were standing on the track, one of them waving lantern as danger signal. As the engineer slowed up the men climbed upon the tender, and the engineer too late learned the trick that had been played on him. He was about to start again, when six shooter was thrust into his face by one of the f6bbheerrs
 Compelled to Sever tho Tram.
 Covered by the revolYers of the gang the engineer was compelled to pull out with the express car, which had been unlocked from the remainder of the train.

This Estimate Was Far Too Low.

Gen. Shafter had not, up to II a. m., placed any exact figure on his loss, but he made it clear that his first estimate at 400 was much short of the actual loss. The press dispatches from the field giving the casualties at about l., 900, is in line with Gen. Shafters later intimation, although, as stated he has set no figure.

Gen. shafter's Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, July 2. 2.-Owing to the many conflicting reports of the losses of the American troops in Fridays en- gagement, 1t had been thought best by the war department officials to make public the text of Gen. Shafter's last dispatch, received at a. m. It is as follows:
The Monticellonian., 1898-07-08
Military Authorities Alert.

The military authorities were alert early in the day, despite the fact that they had been up well through the night in anxious waiting for the latest reports. Secretary Alger and the adjn- tant-general of the army, Gen Corbin, helda conference as soon as the secre- tary arrived.

At Gen. Miles Omce.

Gen. Niles and his staff were togeth- CT in the generals office early Tn the day. Spread on the generals desk was map showing in minutest details every roadway, trail and elevation about Santiago. The general traced the line of Fridays operations and the probable line of action now in prog ress. He had received nothing addi- tional from tine ticid. lie spoke grave ly of the fierceness of the fighting
 Gen. Lawtons Work.
 From stragetic point of view, Law toms taking of Caney gave an eleva- tion on the right wing, serving the double purpose of diverting the enemy fir om the left and opening way to our left wing, also giving our troops a more commanding sweep of the enc mys northern defenses.

More surgeons and Appliances.

Then Surgeon-General Sternberg was sent for, and joined in the conference. IL is understood that the surgeon-gen- eral will send q large force of medical officers some 40 or 60, in addition to those already with Gen. Shafter's army. All suitable appliances will be Proyid- ed. Neither the secretary nor the ad- iatant-general would add anything to the information given out at mid night It was said, however, that
 The Estimate of Killed and Wounded first made by Gen. Shafter was more likely to be under than over the real loss, as the dense growth of chapparal in which the American troops fought made it well nigh impossible at first to learn the extent of the loss. An inn pressiye seriousness peryaded the mili- tary centers. The news that our gal. lant men had
 Pressed Their Way, Foot By Foot up to the commanding plateau of Caney was welcome indeed, but there was now the full realization that this had been done in the face of whitening fire. Instead of a slirmiSh on the right flank, as the reports at first indi- cated, it was now clear that a general engagement, and terrific one, had been fought under the brOiing trop- ieal sun and in the tangled vegetation northeast of Santiago
