CONTEMPLATING At MANILA.
Large Amount Of Silver Circulating
Gives Excellent Opportunity.

Manila, June 1O.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)-The large circu-
lation of silver money in Manila and the
Philippines has made am opportunity for
counterfeiters, and there is evidence Of
one or more gangs in Manila and the
provinces who manufacture spurious
coins The counterfeiters make Mexican
dollar from a baser. and cheaper metal.
the American Nickel Is counterfeited
and the brown five dollar bills have been
successfully initiated But the cleverest
and most successful scheme of all is the
coining of American silver dollars from
Mexican silver dollars. The silver in
Mexican dollar If stamped with the fac
ings of our American silver dollar, at
once doubles in value. for amy one will
give you two dollars Mexican for one
dollar American The advantage of this
scheme is that a sufficient of good metal
can be obtained by melting mp Mexican
dollars and when stamped with the
American facings the new coins produce
one hundred per cent profit,
Raids have resulted in finding several
baskets full of bad money in the rear OF
China mans house and Filipino was
discovered with several thousand dollars
worth of counterfeit IS bills and a
box of re-coined American silver dollars
in his possession. The Chinaman and

TRAIN ROBBERS RECORD.
How Charming Barnes Robbed Bank
in California

San Francisco, July 16-Channing B.
Barnes, alias John H. Nelson. the alleged
train robber, who made daring escape
from the officers who tried to arrest him
at st. Louis a few days ago, came to Cali
fornia in 1894 He fell in with man named
Hyatt, and together they planned and exe-
cuted a robberw of the Ontario State bank
at San Bernardino. Early on the afternoon
of January 6, 1885, they entered the bank,
locked the cashier in the vault beat
chance customer who encountered them
into insensibility, and escaped with 5000
of the banks gold. For weeks they eluded
pursuit, but on January q Barnes was cap
tured in Los Angeles and some $1,000 re-
covered He had been posing as young
man Of wealth and had become very popu-
lar in few days. He had escaped detec-
ton up to that time through the excellent
diss.:se afforded by dying his brilliant red
hair black: This very thing finally LED to
his detection, however, for the landlord
discovered the fact from stains on his
guests pillow.
After an unsuccessful attempt to escape
from jail, Barnes made confession and
refused to defend his case in court. Sew
eral prominent citizens of San Bernardino
interested themselves in the matter, how
ever particularly Rev. A. j. Frost, who
made a powerful and effective plea for
clemency for the young man. Barnes was
sentenced April 6, 1885, to six years in
San Quentin and was discharged on juno
g. 1899, having served his time.

ATERRIBLE ALTERNATIVE.
Admiral Seymour Forced to Kill His
Own Wounded.

New York, July ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser. from TienTsin,
July 8, says.
Intellectual attempts have been made
to conceal the horrible fact that Ad-
miral Seymour was compelled to shoot
his own wounded during the recent dis
astrous retreat of the Pehin relief expe-
dition.
All the wounded and prisoners who fell
into the hands of the Chinese were
frightfully tortured.
The bodies of two marines who were
captured by the Chinese were recovered.
The bodies had been cut into pieces.
First, the eyes had been hacked out,
then the cheeks, arms and legs cut on,
until death ended the sufferings OF the
poor fellows.
When Admiral Seymour. in his retreat,
found himself SO hard pressed that ne
was unable, longer to carry MS Womhdeu
with him, he asked them: Whlch 90
YOU prefer, to be left to the mercies OF
the Chinese or be shot by your own
cornrades?"
AS Admiral Seymour put the question,
the tears were running down MS cneeks.
1--WE prefer death to torture. Shoot US
now. that we may die like men, was
niteous response of the helpless men. A
frine SQUAD was told of and while the
little allied force stopped and beat OH
with gun-fire the Chinese horde tnat
surrounded It, inside Its lines an act OF

San Francisco, July 16.-Ho Vow, Chi

runors which have come from Washing
ton, of a threatened uprising in this city
against the Chinese residents as utterly
groundless. ''Never since the admins
traItion of my consulate he said, ''have
there been fewer cases of violence
against the Chinese. In fact I fail to
recall a single case i'm any part of the

in any way indicates hostility to my

GREAT WAR OPENS.
Not Yet Formally Declared but is in
Progress.

New York, July 16.-A dispatch to the
Tribune. from London says:
A great was has opened in Chir7 with
the Japanese in the front line, and with
the heaviest reserves Immediately avail
able. Three American battalions and
about $4,000 Japanese troops have reach
ed Ten Tsin since the two BATTLES were
fought, so that the allied force now ag-
gregates $4,000 men with contingents
slowly dribbling into Taku.
War has not been formally declared,
but it Is in progress with every indica-
tion that 1t will continue indefinitely un-
til the government now in power is over
thrown and the empire broken up into
a series of European and Japanese prov
dnces and protectorates.
The retreat of, the allied forces from
Tien Tsdn will be followed by outbreaks
against the foreigners in all the prov
inces. They are compelled to halt where
they are and to hold their ground by
hard fighting, and a campaign begun
with no other motive than that of secur-
ing vengeance and reparation for the
massacre of the legations will involve
sacrifices and expenditures for which ter
r.torial concessions are indispensable.
This Is the American view, but Rus
sian, Japanese, German, Italian and
French already have their eyes fixed
upon future provinces and conquests and
the English will find an India in Central
Asia,
