United States transport Mississippi to-
night The reason of the generals de-
parture is unquestionably the order
received from Havana to transmit the
entire customs receipts each week to
that city. Compliance with these in
StructionS would involve the abandon
ment of many necessary public i'm
prOvements which would throw 10000
Cubans out of employment and send
them TO the hills to become bandits.
and would revive Spain's practice of
monetary Capitalization, which caused
most of her troubles in Cuba. 1t is be-
lieved General Wood is desirous of see
ing the president on this subject
There was a maSS-meeting today of
business men of all kinds to protest
against the order from Havana. The
maSS-meeting was held in the plaza,
and was attended by 5000 persons.
Energetic speeches were made against
the policy of centralizing money at Ha
Vana. Most of the speakers declared
the principle which it was now pro-
posed to put into effect again had been
fought against by them for twenty
years. All were exceedingly eulo-
CYSTIC in their references to General
Wood, imploring him TO use his infiu
ence with the Washington government
against revival OF one of the features
OF the Spanish regime.
General Wood expressed the emphat-
ic opinion that all customs receipts
should be expended in the respective
provinces in which they are taken,
with the exception of such percentage
for Havana as may be necessary for
governmental expenditures, geological
surveys and other features of public
business of that character
The local papers again renew their
assertions that if such an order is en-
forced it will mean, if not civil war, at
least anarchy and riot in the province
of Santiago, calling for a large force
of United States troops.
The Cubans are making elaborate
preparations for a demonstration on
General Woods departure. a band will
escort him to the wharf tomorrow
morning, and the members of the su-
preme court will accompany the Mis-
sissippi down the bay on "a steamer, at
the expense of the Cubans
The members of the San Carlos club
are in a fever of excitement They
say, as previously pointed out, that the
main cause for complaint against
Spanish rule was the continual demand
for money obtained from the different
provinces, which, they claim. should
remain in the provinces and be spent
there.
Colonel Valiente the Cuban who was
appointed chief of the gendarmerie
was quite outspoken on the subject
He said the Cubans had fought thirty
years against this policy, and they
were ready to fight thirty years more
if necessary.
Americans who are familiar with the
situation here agree in saying the Gu
bans have good cause for complaint in
this instance

Rich Booty Secured By Missouri
Train Robbers.
DEMOLISHED THE SAFE
TOOK ALL THE TREASURE AND
ESCAPED.
Six Men Composed the Gang and 1t
Is Believed That Some of Them
Were Railroad Men-Ninth Rob-
berry On the Fort Scott &
Memphis.

Mansfield, Mo-, Jan. 3.-The ninth
and first successful attempt at train
robbery on the line of the Kansas City.
Fort Scott e Memphis railroad occurred
tonight at 1855 near Macomb, a small
station five miles east of this point.
Macomb being a flag station, one of the
robbers got aboard the west-bound
train at 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 Win
chesters and revOlverS, compelled the
engineer and fireman to cut loose from
the remainder of the train. The mail,
baggage and express cars We're then
run up the line about two miles and
stopped in 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 il 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 proceeded to dynamite the
through safe. Two charges of dynamite
We're used, completely demolishing the
burglar-proOf safe of the Southern Ex-
press company, and playing havoc with
the car and its contents.
1t is not known how much money and
valuables We're secured, as the safe
blown open was a through safe, being
opened only at a few of the most i'm
portant towns along the line between
Memphis and Kansas City. Every
thing was taken from it, and it is safe
TO say that they were we'll paid for
their trouble. The local safe. which
contained all local money picked up,
was not mOlested.
Special Agent Chester of the Mem
phis route was aboard the train and
followed the robbers. He got close
enough to get a view of them at work
and has a fairly good description of
one of them. 1t is thought that one of
the party was a railroad man. he be-
ing able to handle the engine with all
the ease of an old engineer, and that
the other members were we'll acquaint-
ed with the fact that the through safe
was carried in the rear car, as no at
tention was paid to forward cars, other
than to keep all hands in them closely
guarded. No attempt was made to mo-
lest he1passengers. After leaving the
train the robbers hurried away into the
underbrush, firing shots into the air as
they went.
A posse under Special Agent Chester
is being organized, and will leaye for
the scene of the robbery as soon as it
is daylight.

Manila, Jan. S.-Advices just received
from IlOilo say the rebels, at q meet
ing on Saturday, ratified the action of
delegation which assured the Ameri-
cans that they might land unarmed,
but that if the latter landed armed the
natives would be uncontrollable 1t is
further said that every preparation is
being made for resistance on the part
of the rebels, and that reinforcementS
are arriving from NegroS and the
nesghboring Islands, in spite of the ef-
forts of the United States cruiser Bal
timOre and the gunboat Arizona to
scare them with SearchlightS.
The Spanish gunboat FL Cano is still
at Iloilo, but as her status is not de-
fined, she has not been mOleSted. 1t is
understood that she is destined to go
TO AbOngO, a town of the Philippine
islands on the southwestern extremity
of the island of Mindanao.
The American troops are restless. The
rebels are drilling on the beach even
ing and morning, in full view of the
American expedition which is still
afloat.
The California volunteers were en-
barked on four transports today. Their
destination is unknown.
The natives here are quiescent, but
Watchful.
The American expedition at IlOilo
consists Of a signal detachment, bat
terry G of the Sixth artillery, the Eigh-
teenth regulars and Seventeenth Iowa
regiment. 1t is commanded by General
Miller. a veteran fighter. and arrived
off IlOilc Dec. %. on board the trans
ports Pennsylvania, Arizona and New
port.
The expedition was conveyed by the
United States cruiser Baltimore and an
auxiliary gunboat.
Washington, Jan. 3.-The news re-
ceived in Washington regarding the at
titude of the rebellious natives at IiOiIO
and vicinity is similar in effect to that
reported in the press dispatches. The
situation, officials say, shows that the
relations between the Americans and
those with whom they are dealing, are
much strained, and it will require tact
and forbearance on the part of both
to avoid a collision. 1t is also said that
the information which has been re-
ceived here does not indicate that Cen
eral Miller has landed with the Ameri-
can troops.

line earned per cent during the war.
and in normal times earns 10 per cent,
being a favoTi.e investment with the
Spaniards for trust funds.

the United States cannot hide the fact
that they have said goodbye forever

Baron and Baroness De Bara lived in
Chicago from June 1 until Nov. 2S last
year, and conducted. according to the
postoffice officials, one of the greatest
confidence games ever perpetrated in this
county. Inspector Stuart has been work
ing on the case for three weeks.
1t is estimated that the couple have Sc
cured at least $4,000 by their schemes,
and the work was done in two months.
The victims lived in England and Scot
land and number thousands. 1t is claimed
the baron represented himself as the head
of the Edison Phonograph company, and
that by selling agencies in England and
Scotland mulcted his correspondents out
of sums ranging from fl to flO0 The
numerous letters that arrived in Chicago
after their departure were ordered to be
forwarded to a small town in Connec-
ticut, or else to New York City, where
they were never asked for. 1t was only
by chance that detectives turned their
attention TO st. Augustin. Less than
three weeks had been taken up in the
case since the first complaints of the
