ments to Philippine CoionistA
DENVER, June 90. -Letters received
here indicate that many of the Color
ado regiment will stay in the Philip
pines. They have discovered in diff
ferent portions Of Luzon u~ndeveloped
regions where there are strong indi-
cations Of gold and silver deposits,
as we'll as placer abounds. Reports
Of similar opportunities in other
islands Of the group have been re-
ceived at Manila. The chances are
looked upon as SO favorable that many
Of the mountain men will try them
before returning to their homes.
Some time ago q volunteers petition
was presented to the government,
asking that those OF the soldieas de-
string to be mustered out at Manila
be allowed travel pay to their homes.
They pointed out that in no other way
could so strong a colony Of American
residents be created or the
of the island be so quickly developed.
1t was promised that the men would
organize into u resident military force
If it were desired that they should do
so.
Friends OF the men interested Con-
gresham Bell of Colorado in the petit.
ton and he has been in communica-
ton with the war department. He
has received a letter from Adjutant
General Corbin, in which the
position Of the department is set
forth. While travel pay from
Manila to homes in the United
States will not be allowed, General
Otis has been authorized to discharge
at Manila all men who wish to stay in
the islands. Each soldier must make
application through his company and
regimental commanders. Each man
discharged will be allowed two
mouths extra pay, travel pay from
San Francisco to his home and the
right of transportation from Manila
to San Francisco on any govern
ment transport within a year from
the date Of muster out. In other
words, the soldier can stay in the
Philippines for a year, II he wishes to
examine the country, and will then be
given free transportation to San Fran
cisco. As a nest egg to start him on
his business career in the islands, he
will have two months pay allowed by
a special act of Congress on January

fc is unusually heavy on Saturdays and
Sundays. Six men, employees. were in

their appearance. Each robber was
armed with two revolvers and they
took the employees completely by sur
prise. Ii was the work Of a few mo-
ments for the robbers to pinion the
workmen, who were rolled over to one

the wall. Ten minutes later the safe
was cracked and the gang fed.
Frank Levan. the night receiver,

the robbers, told the story OF his ex-
perience.
while I was standing at the office

Turning, l saw two men with masks
on their faces. They had two big re.
volvers and took mt into the cinder
room and tied my hands and feet with
wire and laid me upon the floor. with
my face to the wall. In the conduc-
tors o | saw Whitehouse was also
being bound and gagged,
when we were laid upon the floor
a man was detailed to guard us. In a
few minutes In came another victim,
whom | think was Watson. a conduc-
tor, and he wen through the same
thing. Then two more came in and
were bound. The burglars worked
quietly. 1t only took then ten min
utes to blow the safe.
Tho guard frequently threatened
to shoot us IL we made the least out
cry or motion. l think they must
nave had a wagon to take away the
cash, for it was very heavy to get
away with.
shortly after the money was taken
out our guards left. Finally Philip
