Mansfield, o., Jan. 3.-The ninth
attempt, and the first successful train
robbery on the line of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott & Memphis route, occurred
Inst night at S.55 near Macomb,
small station five miles east of this
point.
One of the robbers got aboard tho
westbound train at Norwood, tho first
station east OF Macomb, paying his
fare to Macomb and compelling the
train to stop there, though not scheduled
to do so. 1t was Immediately boarded
by five or six masked men, who, cover
ing all members of the train crew with
Winchesters and revolvers, compelled
the engineer and froman to cut loose
the mail, baggage and express cars
from the rest of the train and run
them up the line about two miles to
lonely cut, where Engineer Calender
was placed In front Of tho robbers and
forced to break open the doors of the
express car.
After that Calender was placed in
front of the robbers and together they.
entered the express car. Express Mes
senger Newton and Baggagemaster
Steven were covered with pistols, and
forced to leave the car. Tho men then
proceeded to dynamite the through Safe.
Two charges of dynamite were used,
completely demolishing the burglar
proof safe Of the Southern Express Co.
and playing havoc with the car and its
contents.
1t is not known how much money
and valuables were secured, as the
safe blown open was 10 be opened only
at few important towns Everything
was taken from it. Tho local safo was
not moested.
Special Agent Chester of the Memphis
route was aboard the train and fol-
lowed the robbers. He got close enough
to get view of them at work and
has fairly good description Of one of
them. 1t is thought that one of the
party was railroad man, he being
able to manage the engine like an
expert. No attempt was made to MODEST
the passengers.
The robbers are supposed to have
gone in southerly direction. After
leaving the train they hurried away
into the underbrush,' firing shots as
they went.
A posse under Special Agent Chester
is being organized and will leave for,
the scene Of the robbery as soon as ii
is daylight.

Madrid, Spain, Jan. 4.-The state
ment that the Spaniards evacuated
Iloilo in order to render the situation
positively denied here. 1t is added
Immediately after the signing of the
pines to be evacuated as quickly as
possible, in order to avoid further
bloodshed and conform with the ex-
pressed wish of the Americans, who
we're very exacting, especially in the
case of Cubag'' HnQII
An-interview with an ex-prefect OF a
province of the Philippines was pub
lished here, in the course OF which he
is quoted as saying:
President Mckinley has shown COM
plete ignorance Of the situation in the
Philippines. When the Americans
occupied Manila there were only four
insufgent provinces. The Americans
encouraged tho rebellion and now they
are themselves the victims Of the sup
port which they gave the insurgents,
who have become masters of the entire
archipelago, except Mandanao, where
the natives, who are Mussulnnns, have
refused to recognize American rule,
although they have not revolted.
"Aguinaldo's popularity is due to
his friendship for the Americans. His
treatment of Spanish prisoners has been
horrible. Monks have been marched
through the streets, led by cords at
tached to rings through their noses,
and others have been employed literally
as BEASTS of burden. A thousand have
died of ill treatment.

GEORGE r. WAKtNHUT DEAD.
Was Almost Murdered About Three Yeas
Ago by n Man Who Robbed HIM.

Ago by Man Who Robbed HIM.
George +. Wakenhut, aged II years,
who for many years watched the Will
mington g. Northern and Baltimore &
Ohio railroad crossings at Maryland
avenue, died Tuesday at his residence,
No. 312 South Adams streets. His
advanced age is partly responsible for
his death. til
For some time he suffered from
injuries received on October 9th, 1895,
when he was attacked and murder
ously assaulted by highwayman at
tho Matchbox. The object of the as
sault was robbery, and his assailant
succeeded in making way with the
aged mans watch and some other per
sonal property.
The brute who assaulted Mr.. Waken-
hut caught him in the watch box and
as he offered resistance TO being robbed
threw him across tho stove and while
in that position beat him unmerei-
fully. 1t Was miracle that the old
mans clothing did not catch fire, as
after the assault he was almost help
less. After the assault the old man
was evidently left for dead and the
assailant left as quickly as possible.
A short time afterward a Baltimore
& Ohio shifting engine came along and
Mr.. Wakenhut, who had partially re-
gained consciousness, managed to crawl
out of the watch box and signal to the
crew on the engine. The men saw
that something was wrong and alighted.
They realized what had happened, and
in weak voice Mr.. Wakenhut sue
ceeded in making them understand
that he had been robbed by the person
who had nearly killed him.
Two Of the railroad men took care of
the old Waterman and placed him on
tho engine, while the others started in
search Of the assailant. They went
into the wood nearby and found man
whom they suspected. lie WIS taken
before Mr. Wakenhut, who recognized
in him the assailant. The latter was
searched and the stolen watch found
on him.
The prisoner, who proved to be
Thomas Devine, was arraigned before
Magistrate Daley, who held him for
the Court of General Sessions, and at
the November term of that court, on
November 2lst, 1895, he pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to three years inl-
being administered on the following
lohLurttiy. ne served bHb Lef1u ana
was released q few weeks ago, but
was soon afterward rearrested on the
charge Of stealing furniture, tho prop
erty Of Annie Davis, and an umbrella
belonging to Lewis B. Morrow, for
which he is again in Jail awaiting
trial at the next term of the Court
of General Sessions.
After Mr.. Wakenhut was assaulted
he lowered between life and death for
some time, but finally recovered suf-
ficiently to. return to his post of duty.
The funeral will take place on tomor-
| row. Services will be held In tho
morning at his late residence.

Washington, Jan. 4.-When the
Senate went into executive session,
today, the peace treaty, which had
just been received from the President,
was laid before the Senate by Senator
Frye, who occupied the chair in the
absence of the Vice President.
The treaty was not read, but the
Presidents message accompanying it
was. This was simple letter of trans
initial, without any word Of recon-
mendation or suggestion, and was only
few lines in length.
On motion of Senator Davis, the
treaty was referred to the committee
on foreign relations and ordered printed
for the use of the Senate.
No order was made looking to making
the treaty public, but it is understood
that this will DO done after the treaty
is passed upon by the committee.
The Senate at 12.15 O'Clock adj
journed.
