Barstow, Cal, Nov. 21.-The first

Dnggett early this morning by men
seated on the tender of the engine.
Engineer Bunnell was confronted by
two 45-calibre revolvers and ordered
to stop. but this order was counter
manded and the train proceeded for
about mile and was then brought to
n standstill at the command of the rob
bers, who evidently expected to meet
pals at this point.
In this they were not disappointed
and the robbers ordered Engineer Bun
nell to carry n twenty-pound bag of
dynamite to the express car. Messen-
gers Hutchinson and Blakeley ap-
peared at the door of the express car
armed with guns.
The robbers fired at Blakeley, who.
locating them by the flash of their
guns, returned the fire, killing one rob
ber. The dead mans left eye and all
that side of his head was torn away.
The other robbers stampeded and made
their escape.

ippines.

pended their activi'! in that direction.
To-day he cabled :is follows:

the Navy, Washington: Charleston
and Concord arrived to-day from Iloilo.
Glass reports that the entire island OF
Panay is in possession of Insurgents,
except IIoilo, which is defended by sc
Spanish troops.
"All foreign citizens there beg ior
American protection. The island OF
Negros has declared independence and
desires American protectoratc.
DEWEY
Glass is the commander of the
Charleston. So far nothing has been
done by the administration toward
curbing the insurgents in their opera
tions, save verbal representations from
the American commanders to Agulnai-
do. in which 1t has been pointed out to
him that it would be good policy in
view of the probability OF the anneNa-
tion OF the islands by the United States
to pursue course that would not be
obnoxious TO the United States.
The situation is now realized TO be
critical. So far as the Spaniards are
concerned, perhaps they can be left to
take care of themselves. but the for
eign residents at Iloilo are differenetly
regarded.
The difficulty in the situation is. that
with the best intentions to intervene
to protect the Europeans and other for
eigners and to save the city Of lloilo,
the second in Importance in the Philip
pine group. from looting, the United
States forces appear to be stopped un
der the rules of war from moving from
their positions Such is the construc
tion placed upon the clause in the pro-
tocol relating to the suspension of hos
tilities.
The immediate effect of this state of
affairs may be to hasten action in
the Paris conference. for II is only by
the termination of that tribunal that
the United States can come TO the re-
lief of the beleagured Spaniards in IL
oilo and other points.
1t is said to be fact. however, that
n total disagreement at Paris may re
suit in speedier action than II the COM
missioners agreed upon the main prin-
ciples of the Philippine cession, for. in
such case. several additional sessions
probably would be required in order to
ARRANGE the details of the treaty.
1t is now thought to be certain that
the commission. at a meeting next
Monday or Tuesday, will do one Of two
things, !. e., either agree to the cession
of the Philippines or note disagree
ment and dissolve the meeting. for the
administration is not disposed to toler-
ate further delay. and has so instruct
ed the United States commissioners.

KLONDIkE OUTPUT.
Director of tho Mint Thinks 1t Will BE
Over Ten Millions.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-The record of
the Klondike for 1893 has practically
been completed. The exact figures, as
officially received by Director Of the
Mint George +. Roberts, indicates to-
tai output of gold amounting to So.
O55.27O. OF this amount S5.0TO,OOO
was received at the new government
assay office established at Seattle last
spring. and S4,S95.27O found Its way
into the mint at San Francisco.
While this doubtless approximates
the product actually shipped out Of the
Klondike. it falls short several hundred
thousand dollars of the actual produc-
ton. 1t is Il well-known fact that a
good-sizcd stock of dust is constantly
maintained at Dawson City and other
centers. for current use. that forming
the sole medium of exchange, and Mr..
Roberts thinks it quite likely that as
much as $1,OOO,O0O worth Of the pre-
clous metal may be held at the present
time The branch of the Canadian Ma
tional Bank frequently ships two-thirds
of million dollars worth, and 1t is
not impossible the bank has $500 900

TREASURY STATISTICS.
Receipts From Present Tariff Law Com
pared with O,her--

Washington. Nov. 2O-The discus
sion as TO the revenue producing quail
ties Of the present tariff law lends es-
pecial interest TO a series Of tables JUS
issued by the Treasury Bureau Of Sta
tictics. showing the receipts from vari-
GUS sources by months during a long
term OF years.
An examination OF these figures
shows that the customs receipts of the
Treasury Department now amount To
one-half the ordinary expenditures Of
the government. which is about the
usual proportion allotted to that branch
Of the revenue producing service.
The ordinary expenditures of the
government, aside from those of the
Postoffce Department. which is pracIi-
cally self-sustaining. are usually cal
culaied at about 81 100000 day and
averaged during the years 1894 to 1897
$3.50. D.JOO,OOO per annum. and at about
the same ratio in 1898, emitting the Pa
cific railroad and extraordinary war
expenditures.
The general plans of those charged
with the duty Of providing the reve-
nues for the government have contem-
plated the production of one-half of the
necessary expenditures from customs
and the remaining half from internal
revenue ana HilscelibHeous sources, or
in other words, half II million dollars
a day from customs and half a million
dollars day from internal revenue and
miscellaneous.
The daily statement of receipts and
expenditures issned by the Treasury
Department shows that November 11th
the 10th day OF the present fiscal year.
the customs receipts had, during these
40 days, amounted to s73,340,429. OF
this sum a little more than 100000

the war revenue act. so that fully ST.
100000 Of the S73,34O, 400 received in
these 14O days are the legitimate nor
NAL revenues from the rates levied by

OF half million dollars a day from

Paris Nov. 20.-The American peace
commissioners yesterday were colsely
engaged in formulating the terms OF
the important communication to be
made TO the Spanish commissioners to-
morrow.
In their next memorandum the Amer
lean commissioners will go to the vital
point. Definite notice will be given that
the United States will take over all the

there will be no deviation. 1t is more
than likely that the Americans Will

Should she refuse TO make a treaty
ceding the Philippines to the United

America will be the conquest of that
territory at an increased cost TO Spain

with loss of Spanish life.

Germany to Lose Trade for Having Evict

ed Danes
Berlin, Nov. 19.-Denmark is begin
ming to retaliate upon Germany for
the expulsion of King Christians sub
jects from northern Schleswlg. The
activity of the Prussian government
since these evlctions began has been
unparalleled. Hundreds Of persons
men, women and children OF all ages
have been forced to give up their
homes and fee over the frontier into
the northern peninsula. Germany,
however, is not nvulnerable, and the
Danes know it. The Danish press is
urging the striking of blow at Ger
man trade. Denmark imports from
Germany goods to the value of not
less than S35,OOO,0OO annually. more
than half as much as from all the rest
OF the world. Danes are urged to
stop the Importation of German man
ufactures, and the temper OF the pco-
pie is favorable to the proposition.
An association Of merchants has been
formed in Copenhagen, the members
OF which are pledged to buy nothing
that is imported from Germany.
The threat IL not lost on Germany.
Merchants here are tremendously
stirred up over the prospect of losing
so good customer. Already Prince
Hohenlohe. the imperial chancellor.
has received scores of communications
some of them numerously signed pc
titions-begging that the persecution
of the Schleswig Danes may be for

hours, the jury in the case of j. II.

have amounted to about 100000.
James II. Southall was until about
eighteen months ago chief clerk in the
United States engineers office here. In
that position he formerly had charge
OF issuing time checks to laborcrs on
the government work. From discount
ing a few of these himself he came to
handling them for outsiders.
The profit was large and the demand
great, so that lie took to issuing bogus
time checks, selling them among his
friends New issues OF time checks
could always be sold in time for him to
cash such as came due, so that he was
able to evade discovery for several
years. ever though no such time checks
has been issued by the government for
the last six or more years.
