TRY TO ROB TEXAS TOWN
Bandits Fight Pitched Battle, Slay One
Man and Are Forced TO Retire
at Queen City.

Texarkana, Ark, April 26.-Early
this morning an unsuccessful attempt
was made to hold up and rob the lit
tie town Of Queen City, Tex. Five
men went to the shingle mill Of c. l..
Cabe, which was in charge Of Night
Watchman Ira King. They covered
him with pistols and disarmed him.
A tramp named Woods was sleeping
at the mill. The men told King and
Woods that they were going to tie
them to the railroad track, capture the
night policeman and rob the town.
King and Woods were taken to the
track, but while the robbers were
getting ropes ready, they broke away.
Woods was shot twice by the robbers
and is dead. King was shot in the
head. but will probably recover.
The shooting attracted the attention
Of Constable J. NJ. Powell, who hur-
ried to the scene with Clyde Strange.
Upon their arrival a pitched battle en-
sued. The officer emptied two guns at
the robbers and after exhausting his
ammunition was forced to retreat.
BlOOdhounds are now on the trail of
the robbers. Aside from being shot.
King and Woods were badly beaten
with pistols.

Washington, April 26.-The Cuban
delegation from the convention franz
ing a constitution for the new island
republic saw President Mckinley twice
yesterday, once in the early part Of
the day, when there were introductiOns
and formal exchange of expressions
Of friendship between the United
States and Cuba. and again at night
when the members of the delegation
were the guests of honor at state din
ner at the white house. The real bust
ness which brought the delegation here
was transacted with Secretary Root
OF the war department, the president
In the forenoon interview at the white
house saying to the delegates that ne
would confer with the secretary, who
would act Rs his representative in con-
ferences over the Cuban situation. The
delegation and Secretary Root were
clOseted for some hours in the after
noon In discussion OF the relations Of
the island to the United States. Secre-
cy was observed as to the conference.
1t Is understood that the result
was considered satisfactory both by
the Cubans and Secretary Root. 1t
is said that the Cubans are i'm
pressed with the desire on the part Of
this government to deal fairly by
Cuba and the belief is expressed that
the delegation will take home favor.
able reports OF our intentions.
1t was made plain to the Cubans
by Secretary Root that no mediation
could be made by the legislative de-
partment and the Cubans themselves
understand that there is little pOssi-
bility OF congressional action in that
direction, so the conference was de-
voted largely to the construction
which should be placed on the Plat
amendment.
