New York Reciment Kissed.

It may be safely surmlsed that the
members Of the Seventh regiment wish
they had not taken part in the New York
Memorial Day parade. This was the first
public appearance Of this notorious ''stay-
at-home" body of soldiers since the begin
ming of the war with Spain. All along
the line Of the monster parade the regi-
ment was greeted with Kisses and jeering
and cat-calls were heard on every side.
Voices shouted: Tin soldiers! "Stay-at-
Homes!' ''Why didn't you go to the
ware? ''Feather-bedsv' The window Of
house opened, and some one emptied a
pillow case into the air. Myriads Of feath-
ers were blown out and upon the heads Of
the passing regiment.

HOLD UP FAST MAIL TRAIN.
Robbers Blow Open Elk press Safe, Sc
cnre Money, and Escape,

care Money ana Escape.
The Union Pacific transcontinental
west-bound mail train was held up, dyna-
mited and robbed at 1 o'clock Friday
morning near Wilcox, a lonely station ON
the Wyoming division. The hold-up was
accomplished by the waving of danger
signal short distance east of the Wilcox
bridge. Engineer Jones resisted, when
one Of the robbers climbed on the engine
and struck him on the head, injuring him
severely. At the point Of revolver Jones
was compelled to cut the engine loose from
the train. The robbers then drove the
messenger from the express car and
wrecked the car with dynamite. The
mail car was also badly damaged by the
explosion. The bandits then blew up the
Wilcox bridge, cutting off communication
between the train and engine.
Jones ran his engine to Medicine Bow,
the nearest telegraph station, and gave
the alarm. Superintendent Harris, who
was at Laramie, reached the scene early
in the morning and by 8 o'clock posse OF
twenty men was started in pursuit of the
robbers. The amount Of money secured
by the robbers is unknown. The mail
was not touched, presumably on account
of the fact that four armed mail clerks
were in charge. Union Pacific officials
offer a reward of $1,000 a head for the
robbers

Cuban strike Ended,

The payment of Cuban soldiers was con-
tinued at Havana Monday, and more men
presented themselves to receive their
money than on either Of the two preceding
days. One hundred and fourteen men
Monday received $75 each at La Punta,
and 1O3 of them turned in their arms.
Sixty-nine of the men belong to the Ha-
vana regiment commanded by Col. Mi
yere, while the others belonged to Gen.
Gomez's personal command and the Fran
cisco Gomez and Goicuria regiments. AT
least 100 others applied for money, many
of them with arms, but their names were
either not on the lists or their papers
were irregular. When night came there
were still men waiting to be paid. Owing
to the difficulty of hunting for names on
the lists and the difficulty of Identification
the payments are necessarily slow. The
American military authorities and Gen.
Gomez and his friends were jubilant over
the change from the previous day, when
only thirty men drew their money. Sew
enty-fve dollars is more money than many
Of the soldiers have seen for years.

Dispatches from The Hague to London
papers agree that the United States arbi-

approval by the international conference.
The. arbitration committee unanimously
reported the scheme to the congress, au-
thorities on international law declaring it
practicable, and the delegates approving
it for it's simplicity. The result of the
American plan is considered a great vic
tory. The British proposals were altered
to conform with the United States
scheme. Both sections of the disarmament
committee at The Hague failed to agree
over the question of new inventions in war
machines.

A resident of Porto Rico. desiring TO %

is taken out Of the coffin and buried abou
two feet. If the rent for the burial lot i.
