Work OF the Hospital Corps in the

Inc war Department today made public
an interesting report from Maj. Henry
Hoyt, chief surgeon in the Philippines,
sketchfnS the results of the hospital work
from the 4th of February to the 18th in

the field medical force in warm terms and
says that the results are much better than
might have been expected. In the time
covered by his report the casualty list was
tElrty-two killed and III wounded in the
% Division Of the Sth Corps. He says that
although many of the wounded were Sc
Verely injured in one or more of their
limbs no amputatiOnS have been necessary
This he lays to the efficiency of the first
ard packet and TO the care of the men for
one another and the prompt service render
ed by the field dressing stations. In addi-
ton to our own troops about forty Fill
pinos Were brought to the hospital in the
same period. Their wounds. not having re
ceiVed the primary service rendered our
soldiers, are in almost every case infected
Maj Hoyt says that proof of the dangers
which the medical force share with the
soldiers IS shown in the case of Private
John Gibbons of the hospital corps who
was killed at Caloocan while carrying Capt
Hill of the LIST Montana to the rear
The fled dressing tations have been ad-
Vanced in proportion To the advance of the

ARTIFICIAL COTTON.
Consul Mahin Describes Unique In
dustry in AustriM.

Consul Mahin Of Rechenberg Aus
tria, under date of April 81 quotes
an account in local newspaper
of process for making artificial
cotton from the wood of the fir tree.
1t appears that the wood is reduced to thin
shavngs, which are placed In a washing
apparatus. exposed to the influence of
steam for ten hours. They are then sub
jected to q strong preparation of sodium
lye and are heated under great pressure
for thirtysiX hours. The wood Is now
changed to pure celluOse. and to give this
greater resisting power some castor OIL
caffeine and gelatin are added The sub
stance IS then put into apparatus and
made into threads. which are reeled.
The article concludes:
Artificial cotton can be produced so cheap
ly that the genuine article can hardly COM
pete with it, and one cannot say that it is d
sham, for ii is composed. exactly as the
natural cotton. of pure celulose'
Mr.. Mahin adds:
In country such as this where forests
of fir trees abound and are made perennial
by constant replanting as the large trees
are cut down, and where all the cotton used
in the numerous factories must he brought
from far India and the United States such
device should be profitable"

products TO enter these markets on nearly
equal terms with their European rivals is

Mr.. Dickson adds:
One of the results of this movement is
great activity on the part of merchants
and brokers to secure the agency for
American goods. American exporters
should be Informed that the selection of
an agent to represent them in this region
should be made with the greatest care. The
agents should not only be responsible and
honest, but they should not be engaged
in other business which would lead them
to give preference to foreign products.
Arrangements are row being made with
parties in this city of unquestioned respOn-
siblity and character to open ware

B0LD TRA!N. ROBBERY
Union Pacific Express Held Up Near
'.- Wilcox, Wyoming.
SAFE BLOWN. OPEN With DYNAMITE
Railway Officials Say Robbers
Got But Little Booty
PASSENGERS NOT MOLESTED

OMAHA, Neb.. June 2.-J-nion Pacific
train No. was held up at Wilcox, Wyo.,
at o'clock this morning. The express car
was completely wrecked by dynamite. the
safe blown open and contents taken. En-
gineer Jones was injured by flying debris.
The Union Pacific officials furnish the fol-
lowing account of the robbery: Just be-
fore daylight today, in the midst of a
drenching rain, the train was held up just
beyond Wilcox. Wyo. The robbers blew
up the express car with dynamite. severely
wounding the engineer. and then escaped to
the mountains, According to the officials
of the express company, the robbers OBJ
tained only a nominal reward for their dar-
ing crime. A posse under command of the
sheriff of Carbon county is in pursuit and
officers are confident of capturing them.
Union Pacific officials received their first
il rforma ton of the affair from Engineer
Jones of the train which was held up. His
message was as follows:
Message From the Engineer.
First section, No. /, held up mile west
of Wilcox. Express car blown open, mail
car damaged Safe blown open; contents
gene. We were ordered to pull over bridge
just west of Wilcox ana after we passed
tell how bad bridge was damaged No one
hurt except Jones; scalp wound and cut on
hand. JONES,
"(Signed) 'a" Engineer"
The robbers boarded the train at Wilcox
at 2:09 am. AS the train reached the
bridge one of the robbers crawlcd into the
cab and at the point of a gun ordered En-
gneer Jones TO pull across The bridge and
stop. Meantime the others of the gang
were at work in the express car. Just as
he cd oft he
tremendous explosion that scattered
pieces of the express car for. a hundred
feet in every direction. The end of the
mail car was stove in and several stringers
knocked cut Of the bridge.
Quick Work of Robbers.
1t only required few minutes for the
robbers 10 rifle the safe, which was blown
open by the explosion. They took its con-
tents, signaled their confederate on the
engine and before the passengers and
train cre-y were aw2re of just what had
happened. We're, off for the. mountains.
1t required tWo hours to clear away the
wreckGge 50 the train could proceed to
Medicine Bow, the next station, from which
the report was sent.
The shepif was notified at once. and with
a posse Started in pursuit of the robbers.
1t Is not positively known just how many
there are of them, but as only four were
seen by the trainmen 1t is believed that
NUMBER constitutes the party
later telegram conveys the Information
that the Bent OF the bridge was shattered,
but has vbeen repaired to permit of the
passage Of trains.
Passengers Not MOiestcd.
The passengers were badly scared but
the robbers made no effort to molest them.
The local oftSals state that the safe con-
tanned very little. of value. Nothing is said
in any OF the dispatches regarding the ex-
press messenger, but it is thought That no
harm has befallen him
