Two Masked Men Enter Pullman Car
Near. Hugo and Compel Occupants to
Disgorse-Booty Limited to S1Oe.
SALINA, Kan, Aug. 6.-Union Pacific
eastbound passenger train No. 4, which
left Denver Saturday night, was held
up by two. men near Hugo, Colo. The
passengers in the Pullman sleepers
were robbed of their money and valu-
ables. An old man named Fay, resi-
dent of California, who had been visit
ing In Denver and was on his way to
st. Louis, refused to surrender his yalu-
ables and fired a shot at one of the rob-
bers, but missed. Thereupon, the rob-
bers fired in return, one shot entering
Fay's mouth and coming out at the
back of his head. killing him almost in
stantly. The robbers stopped the train,
jumped off and escaped.
The robbers got onto one of the
sleepers near Limon and after the train
had started the men made noise at
the door. The conductor, thinking they
We're tramps opened the door to put
them off. The robbers, who were
masked, pointed pistol at his head
and ordered him to lead the way
through the coaches. All of the pas
sengers were asleep and the conductor
was ordered to wake them one at q
time. The frightened passengers We're
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 $lOO in
cash and a number of gold watches and
other pieces of jewelry.
The body of Fay, who was killed,
was taken off at Hugo and shipped to
Denver. The conductor, who was com
PEELED to hold a bag while the robbers
relieved the passengers, lost his watch
and asked that it be returned to him in
order that he might run his train on
time. The robbers gave it back.
After ransacking the two coaches the
men made the conductor pull the bell
cord, but the train was going so rapidly
that the robbers were taken to Hugo
before it slowed up enough to enable
them to jump. They compelled the
conductor to get off ahead of them, so
that if any Of the passengers had been
in waiting they would have shot him
first. After the robbers had dismounted
they ordered the conductor to return to
his train.

Conger Cables That Chinese Troops Fire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Another cable
gram came to the state department
yesterday from Minister Conger at Pc
king, which is the second received di-
rect from him since June 10. 1t is the
first which has come direct from the
minister since the above date, the other
having been through the intermediary
OF the Chinese minister here, Mr.. WI.
Yesterdays telegram shows that the
situation in the Chinese capital is still
OF very serious character and that the
ministers are still in danger from the
Chinese troops. So important were the
statements contained in the dispatch
that conference was held by wire be-
tween several OF the officials here and
the president at Canton, lasting for sew
eral hours. At its conclusion the cable
gram from Mr.. Conger was made pub.
lie, as follows:

State: Still besieged. Situation more

Americans In the Engagement.

WASHINGTON, Aug S.-The informa-
ton which came yesterday that Ameri-
can troops We're engaged in the battle
at Pei Tsang established positi vely for
the first time that Notwithstanding the
difficulties which General Chaffee had
encountered in debarking troops and
supplies, at least part and consider
able part of our force was in the van
guard of the forward movement. Gen
eral Chaffee's dispatch to the war de-
partment conveyed the most satisfac-
tory evidence that the commanders had
thoroughly agreed in advance upon a
plan of action and that there is every
indication that this plan had been fol
lowed, as General Chaffee on Friday
sent the cable saying that the attack
upon the Chinese at Pei Tsang would
be made on Sunday, the day when Ad-
miral Remey and the press correspond
ents say the fighting occurred Tie
most positive addition to the news of
the day was the brief line from the AS
sociated Press correspondent at Tien
Tsin saying that the Ninth and Four
teenth infantry, Reilly's battery and
the marines were in the battle of Pei
Tsang. 1t was this force which, with
the British and Japanese, bore the brunt
OF the attack on the left flank. which
was to turn the enemy's position

LONDON, Aug. Sin case the troops

suggestion that the allies should be al

the ministers to Tien Tsin is utterly
impossible" This is the dictum of LII
Hung Chang. 1t was transmitted last
evening to Mr.. William Pritchard Nor.

Tydvil, by his agent at Shanghai. The
agent had carried to Earl Lii message
from Mr.. Morgan urging that the allied
troops be allowed to enter the capital
and stating that settlement could be
made at Tien Tsin, whereby the war
of the world against China could be
averted. but even the optimistic Ii
failed to hold out the slightest hope of
its feasibility, although he reiterated to

that the ministers had left Peking, fix

These messages have been sent to
Lord Salisbury, accompanied by state
ment by Mr.. Morgan, urging that allies
should take no step to endanger the
lives OF the ministers. A message from
the Belgian minister dated Peking,
Aug. 2, seems etfectually to dispose OF
the rumors that the ministers have
either left or are intending to leave
Peking.

'Thus the Chinese will have to re-
form and to recover from the effects of
the battle. Only a small garrison with

that $4,000 Chinese are said to be NOV
ing two days march to the southeast. :"
All the correspondents agree in prais-
ing the bravery and organization of the
japanese, but none of them brings the
story much beyond General Chaffee's
report.
A Shanghai special says that official
a,'vlces from Toxic say armed collisions
have occurred between parties of Rus
slams and Japanese outside of Taku.
This, however, as it comes by way of
Shanghai, must await confirmation be-
fore being credited
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mall confirming the massacre of
missionaries at Chu Chow Flu, says that
two American women were among the
victims.
The Sebastopol correspondents Of the
Daily Graphic asserts that the Russian
government will send 125, 900 additional
troops from Odessa to the far east be-
fore the end of the year.
Berlin dispatches say it is rumored
there that an agreement has been
reached between Emperor Nicholas and
Emperor William, whereby the Ger
man troops will be permitted to pro-
ceed to China by way of Siberia.
A special dispatch from Shanghai,
dated Aug. Z, says: cit is reported
that heavy fighting took place last Sun
day east of Pei Tsang, the allies losing
400, of whom 65 were British. The
Japanese artillery did splendid service
IN the face of a Chinese cross fire, un-
der which they lost heavily. The Chi
nese We're forced to retreat, but saved
their guns. Their rear guard was at
