TRAIN WAS HELD UP.


Five Masked mea Steppsd Passenger Near
chiease-faIlsd 10 fiad Tssasme.
Chicago, Aug. 2.-fhe Baltimore
& Ohio passenger train from tho
East, which was due to arrive at the
Grand Central station, Chicago, at 8
O'Clock last night, was held up by
FIVE masked men at 8 o'clock last
night, between Edgemore and Grand
Calumet Heights, Ind, 81 miles out
of Chicago. One of the mail cars,
which contained no money, was dy-
namited and wrecked. The attempt
at robbery was made after the two
mail cars had been detached from the
train and run quarter of mile
ahead. The failure of the robbers
to make . rich haul was due to the
fact that the express Car, which con-
tanned the trains treasure. was in an
unusual place. After wrecking the
mail car and obtaining no booty the
men disappeared in the darkness
without attempting to rectify their
mistake. The only loot they carried
away with them as a result of their
adventure was the gold watch of the
engineer. The train was the New
York and Washington vestibule linn
tied. Most of the trainmen were shot
at and had narrow escapes from bull
let's. No person was injured, either
by firearms or dynamite.

GENERAL WOOD ON CUBA.
he Says the Americans Can Settle Up and
Get Out Within Eisht Months.

New York, Aug. 2.-General Leon
ard Wood, military governor of Cuba,
who is now on board the dispatch
boat Kenawha preparing for a cruise
along the coast of New England, said
today, in discussing Cuban affairs:
"Cuba is a totally undeveloped
island, and has great future before
it, Yellow fever, in another year,
will cease to be epidemic. We have
not had single case of yellow fever
in Havana this summer, and none in
Eastern Cuba for two years past.
Cuba's resources require time for de-
velopment. The last enormous sugar
crop was raised on 8 per cent of the
entire sugar producing lands Only
this small percentage is under culti-
vation.
1--WE have 81, SOC, 900 in our reserve
fund. and can pay all our debts and
get out of Cuba within the next eight
months. We have established $500
flourishing schools. Two years ago we
were obliged to provide about 100
orphan asylums to protect the desti-
tute children. Since then we have
abolished GO, and expect to be able to
close more before we retire from the
management of Cuban affairs. Our
health compares favorably with that
of the troops in this country, showing
that the island is healthy"

Fortune for Work In South Africa.
London, Aug. 2-In the house of
commons today, proposing q resolu-
tion granting Field Marshal Lord
Roberts elOO, 900 for his services in
South Africa, J. Bafour, the govern
ment leader, in the course of his eu-
logy of the field marshal, said that
there was no doubt that but for Lord
Roberts daring and strategy, and the
rapidity with which his plans were
carried out, Kimberly and Mafeking
would have fallen, 1000 British
would have been starved into submis-
sion at Ladysmith, and there would
have been a general rising of disloy.
alists in South Africa. The Liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, concurred in the motion.
John Dillon, Irish Nationalist,
strongly opposed the vote. He de-
clared Lord Roberts had shown the
greatest inhunanity in South Africa,
and said he had employed barbarous
methods and had proved himself a
dismal failure. Mr.. Labouchere,
Radical. and Mr.. Kier- Hardy, Social
ist and Independent Labor, also
strongly opposed the measure. Swift
MacNeil, Irish Nationalist, said he
considered Lord Roberts operations
were conducted with a maximum OF
cruelty and a minimum of humanity,
and that his farewell speech at Cape
Town was horrible hypocrisy and
blasphemy. After further debate Mr..
Balfour moved the closure, which was
carried. The resolution was adopted
by vote of 281 to 73.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Acting Sec-
retary Hackett had expected to be
able to announce the name Of the
third member OF the Schley court Of
inquiry today, but could not do 90 up
to the time the department closed.
Nevertheless, it is surmised that he
has heard from at least one Of the rear
adm trails he has addressed on the sub
ject, and that he has communicated
the result to Secretary Long, and will
await his pleasure before making any
announcement. Secretary Long has
specially delegated the task Of max
ing q selection to Acting Secretary
Hackett, but as q matter OF courtesy,
it is probable that he will be made
acquainted with the choice before IL
is made public.
