THE TROUBLE AT ILOILO.
Gen. Otis Reports That Gen. Miller Has tho
Rebels Well In IIand-Gioomy Report
of Atari Vim Mnnila.

Washington, ian. 4.-Gcn. Otis, COM
manding Mt Manila, has cabled the
war department that in his opinion
Gen. Miller has the situation we'll In
hand at Iloilo and that he fully under
stands the purpose Of the president not
to crowd the insurgents unduly. 1t Is
highly desirable that hostile collision
between the American forces and the
insurgents be avoided ut all hazards,
at least pending the ratification OF the
peace treaty, and as Gen. Miller under
stands now this purpose on the part OF
the president he will be guided by it
and may be relied upon to resort to
force only under absolute compulsion.
A. Manila Hears It.
Manila, Jan. 4.--Advices just re-
ceived from lioilo say the rebels at q
recent meeting ratified the action OF n
delegation which assured the Ameri-
cans that they might land unarmed,
but that II the latter landed armed the
natives would be uncomfortable. IL
Is further said that every preparation
is being made for resistance upon the
part of the rebels and that reinforce
ments are arriving from Negros and
the neighboring islands, in spite Of
the efforts of tho United States cruiser
Baltimore and the gunboat Arizona TO
scare them with searchlights.
The American troops are restless.
The rebels are drilling. on the beach
evening and morning, in full view Of
the American expedition, which is
still afloat The natives here are
quiescent but watchful.

a Detreit Cat That Was Likensd
Unto the Luxurious
Statesman.

Il guess I Just about have the blue-ribbon
eat story. declared one Of the employee at
. Detroit depot. 1--WE had q big tom here
that was favorite for months. He never
did anything worse than TO whip an occa-
sional dog that came prowling about, or
scratch some kid that wanted to carry him
Oh: But he became fat, lazy. self-important
and impudent. He asserted right to be
on top of the desks, and resented the noise
Of typewriter when he wanted to take his
afternoon nap.
80 another of the boys and myself slipped
Tom into box car, and sent him to Chicago.
There was no chance for him to escape, for it
was q tight box car, with the doors sealed,
and billed through.
1.-TWO weeks later there came carload Of
furniture from Chicago, and after it had
been shunted to side track the work Of I'M
loading was begun. The men scattered when
they saw pair OF fiery eyes working toward
them through chair legs and over carpet
rolls. While they were arming themselves
with coupling pins in order to resist the at
tack Of some wild 'critter,' long, lean and
hungry-looking cat sprang out, blinled till
he became accustomed to the light and then
trotted TO my office. There he gave me an
ugly leer, winked at the clerks and curled
up on window sill in the sun. / accepted
old Tom and now call him Senator"
why Senator?'
because he knew good thing and was
10 anxious to get back. Detroit Free Press.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
Near Macomb, NO.. on the X. O.. n. y o n
Road, half Dozsn Masked Men
Maks n hood HAM. ftrti q


Mansfield, Mo-, Jan. 4-The first
successful attempt ut train robbery on
the line of the Kansas City, Fort Scott
q Memphis railroad occurred last
night ut 1855 near Macomb. q small
station five miles east OF this point
Macomb being 4 flag station, one Of
the robbers got aboard the westbound
train ut Norwood, the first station east
Of Macomb, paying his fare to Macomb.
and compelling the train to stop there.
1t was immediately boarded by five
or six masked men, who, covering all
members Of the train crew with VIM
chesters and r.v)lvers, compelled the
engineer and fireman to cut loose from
the remainder OF the train. The mail,
baggage and express cars were then
run up the line about two miles, and
stopped in a lonely cut, where Engi-
neer Calender was placed In front OF
the robbers and forced to break open
the door of the express car, after
which he was placed in front Of the
foremost robber and, together, they
entered the express car, covering
Southern Express Messenger Newton
and Baggageman Sieben with their
pistols, forcing them to adjourn to the
outside of the car. They then pro-
ceeded to dynamite the through safe.
Two charges Of dynamite were used,
completely demolishing the burglar
proof" safe Of the Southern Express
company and playing havoc with the
car and its contents.
1t Is not known how much money
and valuables were secured, Us the
safe blown open was q through safe,
being opened only ut u few OF the
most important towns along the line
between Memphis and Kansas City.
Everything was taken from II, and 1t
is safe to say that they were well paid
for their trouble. The local safe,
which contained all local money picked
up, was not molested.
