USED ANOTHER'S NAME
TO GAIN A LIVING
Blacklisted Railroad Man Killed by a
Train in the Yards at
Saup1S

Los ANGELES, July PA railroad
man who called himself Robert ]. Dun
lOp of Denver, Col, was instantly killed
by a train at Saugus yesterday. Dun
lop came to Los Angeles from Denver
over a month ago, having been former
ly connected with the Denver and Rio
Grande. He was looking for employ
ment and had received a letter, which
was found upon his person, from the
yardmaster at The Needles, offering
him work.
Yesterday Dunlop walked from New
hall to Saugus. There was freight
train standing there, and he went 10
the caboOse to have a talk with the
train crew. He was standing on the
steps of the caboOSe when the train
suddenly moved. Dunlop lost his bal
ance and fell to the ground. The wheels
of the caboOse passed over his neck and
nearly decapitated him.
At noon to-day railroad man named
Michael COnnOr, who resides In this
city, called at the police station and
told a peculiar story regarding the
death of Dunlop. Connor says that the
man was in reality Charles Ryan, for
merly employed on the Rock Island
Route. He was one of the strikers who
stayed out in the great strike of 1894
and was blacklisted. He went all over
the country trying to get work, but
failed. When his friend. Robert J. Dun
lOp, also a railroad man, enlisted for
the war, Ryan assumed his name and
/ took his card as member of the union,
in order to get work.
The real Robert J. Dunlop is now In
the Philippines. a member of Company
d. Fourteenth Regiment United States
volunteers. under Captain Hart. Ever
since he went away from Denver in a
soldiers uniform Ryan has used his
name and credentials. A curious state
| Of affairs now exists. Robert J. Dun
lOp is declared by a Coroner's jury to

LAWTON MAY COMMAND
THE FIELD OPERATIONS

NEW YORK, July 21-A special to tbs
journal from Washington says: When the
rainy season ends and the fall can1nai9n
IN the Philippines begins General Otis
VIII be restricted to discharging the ad-
mlnlstrative duties of Governor General
while another army officer, probably Law
ton will be in command of the field op-
erations.
Ihat prediction may be hazarded at this
early day. Adjutant General Corbin, who
dlsikes heroes. is opposing the plan. but
the sentiment among army men is RAPIDLY
crystalzfng, and Republican politicians of
sense are of the same opinion Nearly
all of the Republican leaders who have
called on the President during the last
four days have told him of the feeling in
their homes.
The criticisms of returning volunteers
are perhaps. the most potent influences
operating on the Presidential mind.
These sentiments are reaching the Pres
ident by word of mouth, by telegram and
by letter. Army officers of discretion are
writing privately to their friends IN the
service here complaining of Otis vacilla-
uon lack of decision and APPARENT inability
to grasp the full military situation. Several
OF the writers have suggested that Otis
was harried and driven almost to diStraC-
ton by foolish instructions from Wash
ington. This has reached the Presidents
ears, and whether or not true he does
not like the imputation.

STORIES OF ATTEMPTS
TO KILL DREYFUS
Sham Rescue at Devils Island Said
to Have Been Planned as
Pretext for Murder.

NEW YORK July 21.-A Sun cable from
Paris says: The assertion that an at
tempt was recently made to assassinate
Dreyfus at Rennes causes the French
press to continue the publication of the
treatment of Dreyfus during his cOnflne-
ment on Devils Island.
Upon one occasion, it is declared, Com
mandant NerillOn, with the Connivance of
the administration, organized a pretended
rescue. hoping that the Warder would kill
Dreyfus if he attempted TO seize the
chance to escape. The sham attempt to
rescue Dreyfus is alleged to have been
instigated by minor French officials in
French Guiana.
A whaleboat was brought along Devils
Island in the middle of the night, gun
was fired and much noise made.
Hearing the noise, Dreyfus' guard took
up revolver and pointed it at the pris
oner, who, awakened, asked what was the
matter: but seeing the revolver, he said
nothing more.
In an official explanation, it is stated
that the affair was in reality, test of
the vigilance of the warderS.

CORCORAN'S ALIBI THE
POINT OF ATTACK
Prosecution in the Wardner Case
Seeks to Disprove Defend
ants Statements

WALLACE, Idaho. July 21.-Most of the
day was taken up by argument on the ad-
instability of evidence regarding Corco-
rams residence before the Coroner's jury.
The Judge took the matter under advise
ment until tomorrow morning, stating
that he doubted If it was admissible The
State will make every possible effort to
secure its admission, as it contradicts
every witness who has aided In providing
an alibi. Corcoran testified before the
Coroners jury. that he went home at IL
o'clock, remaining until 4, during which
time he saw and conversed with but two
persons. This is in conflict with the testi-
mony of more than a dozen witnesses,
who testified to having seen and con-
versed with him in Burke between these
hours.
Juror Carr was III all day and tonight
is under the care of physician. His
sickness may delay the trial somewhat.

by the thieves An entrance was obtained
by prying open cellar door. Once in the
cellar the burglars entered the main
building by means of a stairway. They
took away silverware to the value of $500
and, returning to the cellar. carried away
bottles of wine aggregating 500 in cost.
A peculiar feature of the burglary was
that after the men re-entered the cellar
they closed the door leading to the main
floor and had a merry carOusal Bottles
of wine were smashed, groceries thrown
topsy-turvey and milk spilled over the
floor. One thief stepped in a crate of
butter and left the imprint Of his foot.

YELLOW FEVER IN MEXICO.
But It Is Kept From Spreading to the
United States.

AUSTIN, Tex, July 21.-The State
Health Department here has received Of
fetal advices from Mexico shat the yellow
fever epidemic at coast cities and towns
in that country is rapidly decreasing in
severity. The National Board of Health
of Mexico sent representatives to all Of
the infected places short time ago. and
since then quarantine measures have been
enforced and a stop was soon put to the
spread of the disease. The United States
marine hospital service surgeons in Mex
leo are also very vigilant and it Is largely
due to their efforts that the fever has not
spread to the United States through Tex
as border points.

CAUSE FOR FRICTION
Between Russia and England Removed By
the Recently Signed Agreement.

Between Russia and England Removed BY
the Recently Signed Agreement.
London, April 29.-The announce
ment that England and Russian have
signed self-denying agreement re-
garding China, which is intended to
put an end to the contention over rail-
way and other concessions in that
country, is the most important news of
the day 1t is officially confirmed here
this afternoon and the papers are run
ming it with big headlines. The news
comes on top of George ]. Goschen's
speech on wednesday last, in the course
of which, after taking an optomistic
view of the political future and with
reference to the agreements arrived at
with France and Germany, he said:
"a friendly understanding with Rus
STA is also on the eve of conclusion"
The present agreement puts an end
to the Anglo-Russian struggle in China
and is tantamount to settlement or
the question of the spheres of influence
of the two countries. Under the agree
ment Great Britain has undertaken not
to press railway or other concessions in
North China, while Russia agrees to
the British demand that no part of the
basin of the Yang Use Kiang shall be
aiienated. Russia also recognizes that
British commercial interests are su-
preme in the Yang Use basin, which is
understood to extend a considerable
distance north and south of the river,
though no attempt has been made to
define the region.
