ANOTHER BOLD HoLD-UP.
Express Train In Indian Territory
Robbed By Three Men.


Kansas City, June ia special to
the Star from Mena, Ark, says:
About 2:45 o'clock this morning the
southbound passenger train No % was
held up by three masked men at a
curve about a mile south of Shady, /.
I. The engineer was signaled to stop
by red lantern, and on bringing the
train to a stop guns were leveled at
him and the fireman was commanded
to go back and cut off the express car
Then they all entered the cab of the
engine. One of them, being familiar
with the engine, ran the cars down the
track a couple of miles, where they
went through the express and mail
cars, securing considerable booty, the
exact amount of which is not known,
as the express company will not give
out the amount of its loss.
d. H. Patterson, express messenger
for Wells, Fargo & Co., will not talk, he
being under instructions from the COM
pany to say nothing. but the robbers
got all there was in the car. When
the train came to a stop Conductor Sui
livan paid little attention to it until
shots We're fired. SHORTLY the fireman
came back. announcing a hold-up. He
then went back TO the sleeper and con-
suited with that conductor about hid
ing their valuables, which they placed
under lot of towels under the wash
stand. 1t was about an hour before
the engine returned with the other
cars. The robbers did not go through
the passenger coaches.
The United States marshals office at
Fort Smith was notif1e0. and a posse
sent at once to the scene to take the
trail of the robbers, and it is likely that
they will be captured.

BUT LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED.
Work of the Peace Conference Is
Dragging Slowly.

The Hague, June 16.-The drafting
committee of the arbitration tribunal
scheme, which should have met today.
adjourned sitting to Monday next The
ostensible reason for the adjournment
was the absence of Baron Estiurnelles
de Constant of the French delegation,
who drew up the minutes. 1t is posi-
BILE, however. that the delegates had
not received sufficient instructions frcm
their respective governments to make
further progress.
The delegates do not regret the op-
portunity of a few days more time to
deliberate. The difficulty now chiefly
consists in reconciling a scheme of the
other powers with the views of Ger
many, but the prospects are more
hopeful. Even if no agreement should
be reached, an arbitration organiza-
tion will. nevertheless, be arranged
and will be open to such of the powers
as are not able to sign now. In the
meantime every effort will be made to
meet the German views.
The naval section committee met to-
day and received the report of Count
Zoltk. A majority of the section will
favor the proposition of explosives in
tended to spread asphyxiating gases
and the use of rams on warships.
The questions of limiting gun calibre.
armor plates and the form of powder
remain undecided, pending the receip.
of instructions from the various gov
ernments.
The report will be submitted first to
the committee and then to the confer
ence.

LUNA's DEATH A GoDsEND.
Soul of Rebellion and Most Sanguin-
ary of Filipinos.

New York. June l6.-In an interview
at Brussels with a Herald correspond
ent, NJ. Andre, the Belgian consul gen.
eral at Manila, declared that Luna 5
death was a godsend; that he was the
soul of the rebellion and the most san
culinary man of all Aguinaldo's army
and one who tortured Spanish prison.
ers and lived by insutrection.
Before NJ. Andre left Manila for. his
present visit TO Europe, he obtained
from the Americans some concessions
for Philippine insurgents in considera-
ton OF Luna's formal promise to re-
lease Spanish prisoners. Luna after
ward refused TO fulfill his promise, ana
NJ. Andre having then described Luna's
conduct as treacherous and felonious,
the latter sent him challenge to Il
duel, but he disappeared without fight
ing.
NJ. Andre says the assassination of
Luna removes the principal obstacle to
peace, which the Americans have now
a great chance of speedily securing,
even by simple persuasion.

TRANSPORTATION OF TROOPS.
Will Take Until August to Get Them
to General Otis

Washington, June 16.-Under the
most favorable circumstances it will
be hardly possible for the government
TO increase its army in the Philippines
to the $4,000 limit before the 1st of
August. About 5000 OF the troops des-
tined for service in the Philippines and
included in the proposed $4,000 forces
are still in this country and will not be
able to reach the Scene of action for
five or six weeks.
The officials of the war department
are making every effort, however. to
expedite their departure, and to that
end have arranged for the immediate
transportation of the troops on the
transports Pennsylvania, Sheridan,
Zealan ia and Valencia These vessels
are all at san Francisco. and have
total capacity of 4.400. Unless present
plans miscarry, all these vessels will
start for Manila by the end of the
month.
In addition to these reinforcements,
provision will have to be made for the
transportation of about ], 200 recruits

CONTINUE TO FIGHT TRUSTS
IMMENSE CAPITAL REPRESENT
ED IN PROJECT.
W. A. Clark of Montana Interested
and a Start Will Be Made On the
Tin-plate Trust.

Chicago, June 16.-The Record tomor-
row will say:
Senator w. A. Clark of Montana,
Charles Edwin Miller of New York and
]. e. Shawhan of San Francisco had
a consultation at the Auditorium an
mex yesterday looking to the forma-
ton of a combination to fight the tin
plate trust. 1t is proposed to establish
plant at Joliet, Ills, with a capacity
of 81 10000
This capital, however, does not rep
resent the full strength of the proposed
antitrust plant. Mr.. Miller is a son
of Charles Wooster Miller of New
York and represents not only his faith
er, but Coils p. Huntington and Edwin
Gould in the present transaction. Mr.
Shawhan was formerly one of the ac-
tive financial powers of the Pacific
slope, and is reported to represent sew
eral San Francisco financial institu-
tions in this deal. There will be a fur
ther consultation of the persons inter
ested today.
Men who are close to Mr.. Miller say
that the tin plate project is merely an
item in recently concocted plan TO
fight the trusts in several of the more
important industries. Edwin Gould
and c. P. Huntington are credited
with projecting the scheme. c. E. Mil
Ter was formerly the junior partner in
the firm of Huntington, Hopkins & Co.
of San Francisco.

ALL IN GOOD HEALTH.
Condition of Soldiers In Philippines
Is Remarkable

New York, June 16.-The statements
| to the effect that men around Manila
are dying like flies and that the war
department has been compelled to sup
press the regulation health reports.
which it was formerly customary to
make public, turn out to be gratuitous-
ly false. but serve the good purpose of
bringing out the fact that the health
/ conditions in the American army un-
der General Otis are not only astoniSh-
inSly excellent, but have probably
never been equaled in any army in
tropical countries, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune. Com
pared with that of last summer in
Cuba, the comparative immunity from
death or serious illness of the Ameri-
can troops fighting outside of Manila
seems little short of miraculous. From
the landing of General Anderson's first
military expedition near Cavite on June
so last year up to the last weekly re-
port from General Otis. dated June g.
there have been only 364 deaths from
disease. although his total force has
been 10000 men. In the same period
siXty-nine men have died from wounds.
In view of the notorious insalubrity
of Manila and its environs, these fig
ureS are almost incredible. They chal-
lenge contrast with the best English
experience IN Egypt or in India, and
lntS SuIpdSS even. the SAcellenI COnul-
tions that exist in Cuba, where there
is no fighting and the men are not eX-
posed to the elements. but have COM
Portable garrisons. Men drowned or
who have died from injuries received
otherwise than in battle are counted in
the total of 364.
This total is interesting, compared
with that of the men laid outright in
action with the Filipinos from Feb. 4
to June 6. covering the period of active
hostilities. In those four months, with
an average of 1000 men engaged, the
killed were 226. This great disparity
demonstrates what improvement has
resulted from the experience of the
Santiago campaign, when 1000 men
died from disease and only 260 were
killed. In fact, the health question
in the Philippines has apparently lost
its novelty, and no question having !
been raised about it from this side of I
the ocean, no recent cable reports from |
General Otis contain any allusion to it. |
