AMERICAN FLOUR IN JAPAN.
The Use of it Not Confined u the
Large Cities Therein.

Washington, July 13.-Vice Consul
General Mclean has made a report
from Yokohama on the subject of tie
importiOn of American -four into ia,
pan. He says that the us. If flour is
not confined to the large cities Of ia
pan, but is becoming more common
throughout that country. He speaks
of three or four American built 1our
mills, the largest having a capaciiv of
$50 barrels a day, that are now help
ing to supply Japan with flour. There
are many small native mills of hand
water power through the country. but
their product is of a coarse character,
and they do not compete to any extoHt
with the imported stocks. American
wheat is also being imported into ia
pan and the considerable amount Of
flour made from it is being sold there.
The demand for flour throughout the
Orient is rapidly increasing, the best
points of consumption at present being
Russian possessions in northern Chi

T BY CANNIBALS.
Horrible Story of Saragery From South
Seas.

Victoria, B. c., July 13.-Bushmen
from Cape Oxford, according to a let
ter received by the "Miowera" from
Sydney, yer killed and eaten by AN
nibals on the coast of New Britain.
The German government is taking
steps to punish the cannibals.
The natives who were made victims,
had been trading, and when they got
to the landing the canoes they were in
were fired at and at once sunk. Many
were killed and their bodies carried
ashore. But the most horrifying part
was when several men were captured
alive and dragged to the actual scene
of the feast their bodies we're to pro-
vide. They were dubbed and after
ward roasted or baked and eaten.
This tribe of native ghouls is one
Of the most notorious in the islands
for ~maneating. They are not head
hunters, in the Solomon islands sense
of the term, but bloodthirsty Kanakas,
who kill for food solely.
The victims were not all killed at
once, some Of them witnessing the kill
ing of their comrades and the first
part of the cannibal feast.

TRAIN RoBBER CONFEssEs.
Charles w. Barnes Says He Held Up
Illinois Central Train.

st. Louis, July 13.-Charles w
Barnes of 1900 West Belle place, sus
pected of being one Of the robbers who
stopped the Illinois Central train and
looted its express car of $4,000 three
miles south of Wickliffe, Ky, early
Wednesday morning, was taken with,
out ]bloodshed, so complete was the
surprise. In effecting his capture a
false telegram was sent to his resi-,
dence, 1890 West Belle place.
Eight-ive dollars in currency, which
was damp, as though it had been ex-
posed to water, and SO in silver coin,
with Il pistol AID a pair of field glasses.
were taken from Barnes.
After a searching examination by
Chief Desmond the prisoner asked
what terms would be made with him
Il he told all he knew. The chief plac-
ed the suspected rObber in the hold,
over after telling him that he would
think it aver and let him know.
Express Messenger G. +. HickoX,
who was in the car that was robbed.
called at the Four Courts at noon for
the purpose Of Identifying the prison
er, Hickox partially identified Barnes,
He told a story about his life having
been saved by one Of the robbers and
stated hat he felt under obligations
TO the robber. o.
HickOX said Barnes resembled the
man who interfered and saved his life
but he could not identify him positive
ly. -
Mrs. Barnes called on Chief Des-
mond. She told him her husband had
left the city Tuesday, July 3, and re,
turned Thursday night. She did not
know where he had been, SO she said
Right after the robbery Special
Agent Murray and his men went tC
work on the case. At Cairo Michael
Connolly was arrested and accused OF
being with the gang. The detectives
say they got enough out of him to war,
ran them following the two men to
st. Louis. They are certain they have
identified the fugitives in Barnes and
Nelson. 1t was a~scertained that these
men had taken a catboat on the river
near Cairo and were making their way
up the stream.
1t was learned that the men desert
ed the boat at st. Genevieve and board
ed the Iron Mountain train for st.
Louis, arriving in the city some time
Thursday night.
The catboat was found on the river
bank. Chief Desmond holds the dis
covery an important one, since the
money in the possession of Barnes had
been saturated with water.
Shortly after 3 o'clock this after
noon Charles w. Barnes confessed to
Chief of Detectives Desmond and Chief
Of Police Campbell that he, together
with John Nelson and a man named
Dyer, alias Colley, committed the rob-
berry of the Illinois Central railroad
train neal Wickliffe, Ky. Barnes stat
ed that Dyer came from San Francisco
four months ago, and that the plot was
all arranged in this city.

the colony, accompanied by Lady Hold
geson, arrived here today from Kuma-

week ago from the beseiged town. Both

native attire. The carriers were so
weakened by starvation on their arriv-
al here that it is feared two of them
