Washington (SpecaD. The advance
of the allied troops from Tientsin has
begun and they are reported to have
met with reverse at the outset.
Definite news of the advance has
come to M. Favereau, Belgian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, in cablegram
from the Belgian representative at Ia
ku. This message states that the allies
have already covered 1S miles of the

other dispatch says that the Japanese
vanguard of the allies has been re-
pulsed with loss of $50 in killed and
wounded.
About 10000 troops. 1t is estimated
in London, were available at Tientsin
for the advance. Thirty thousand
more have landed at Taku and Chefu,

the foreigners were living on rice and
horse flesh. A truce was in force af-

RArHBoNE ARRESTED.
Ex-Director-G General of Posts in Cuba
Must Answer

Havana (By Cable).-M Estes G..
Posts in Cuba, was arrested on four
charges. These allege the unlawful
drawing of two orders for $500 each
paying his private coachman and gar
dener from the postal funds, and draw
ing per diem allowance when not en-
titled so to do The accused was held
in bonds of $25,000
Rathbone remained in the court
room all day awaiting the decision OF
the judge in the matter of the accept
ance OF Francisco GAMBIA, one OF the
richest Spanish merchants of Havana,
as bondsman for $4,000. Rathbone
was Obliged to go to the guardhouse
because the Judge ruled that GAMBIA
could not go on the bond without the
consent of his business partner. Rath-
bones lawyer brought Senior Gambia
to the courtroom at noon, and after
two hours argument the Judge said
that he was willing to accept GAMBIA
as bondsman If the military authori-
ties were satisfied. When Captain Scott
was appealed to he sent three aides TO
report on Gamba's financial standing.
All reported favorably and sent word
TO the judge that the military authorl-
ties were satisfied as to the financial
qualifications of the bondsman, and ad-
Nised accepting, provided no other I'M
pediment should be found. After CON
sulting the law firm that is represent
ing the Government in the case, the
Judge ruled adversely and Rathbone
was taken TO the guardhouse.
Mr. Rathbone's lawyers say the pond
is unreasonable, as the total amount of
the fraud alleged is not more than
$4,000. They insist that he will be re-
leased and found innocent Of all
charges. 1t is also claimed that the
two warrants which figure in the case
were not cashed by Rathbone, and that
they were part of the defalcations
charged up to Neely. They also assert
that the per diem allowance arrange
ment has never been officially discon
tinued and that nothing criminal can
be attributed to Rathbone on any of
the charges.

tel at his head and ordered him to lead
the way through the coaches. All of
the passengers were asleep, and the
conductor was ordered to wake them
one at a time. The frightened passen-
gers were told to keep quiet or they
would be killed, and at the same time
were asked to hand over their money
and valuables. The robbers obtained
about 800 in cash and number of
gold watches and pieces of jewelry.

on the train arrived at Salina. She
stated that when the men entered the
car everyone was asleep, and very few
knew anything of what was going on
until they were awakened by the rob-
bers. When the men came to her berth
