The train was tagged by one of the
robbers. who forced the firemen 10 90

cars, and. returning, forced the en-
gineer To give up the management of
his engine.
One Of the robbers. who, il appears.
is an expert engineer. ran the engine,
mail and express ears about u mile
from the point where the first
stop was made and forced the express
messenger to open the car. The rob

dynamite. securing, it is said, very
large amount of booty. The exact
amount is withheld by the Cotton Belt

loot, cut off the engine from the mail

engineer, and went south at full speed.

was successful in every respect.
suspicious character was seen to

here seem to be confident that the
robbery was committed by railroad
men, from the manner in which they
superlntehded the cutting off of the
ears and the handling of the engine.

PRESIDENTS GOOD OFFICES.
An Intimntion that They VIII be
"Tendered'' to Colombia and
Venezuela.

Washington, Sept. 1T is ascer-
tanned that on August -. during Sec
retary Hays recent visit to Washing
ton, telegraphic message was sent
To the ministers at Caracas and I;o-
gotta. directing them to inform the
foreign secretaries of Venezuela ana
Columbia of the distress with which
the president had heard of the likeli-
hood of a disturbance of the relations
between those two republics.
Adverting To the possibility of the
influence of the United States being
eNerted to compose the pending ques-
tlons, the ministers were directed to
say that, while the relations of this
government with both nations are
equally intimate and friendly. and ev-
cry opportunity is taken to show the
good will we bear them. an offer of
the presidents kindly Offices to ar
range and difficulties which may exist
between Colombia and Venezuela
would be ineffective without the ac-
quieseene of both. Nevertheless, in
spired by the sentiments which are
common to all the governments of the
American republic. the United States
would sincerely deplore breach of
the amicable relations that at this
time happily exist between the sister
nations of the western world. and
would especially regret any action by
either of them which might menace
the security of transit across the 18th
mus or the neutrality of its territory
and thereby eonstrain the government
of the United States to consider its re-
sponsibilities and functions under ex-
lsting treaty engagements with Colom-
ba.
The text of Mr.. HAYS telegram has
not been made public. 1t is under
stood that an acknowledgment of its
receipt has been made by the Nene-
Zueian government, but its purport
has not been made known. although
II is said to be friendly in tone and,
while charging invasion by Colom-
bian forces on the Venezuelan border
and referring to the temporary sus-
pension of diplomatic intercourse
which has occurred, the way appears
to be open for explanations. Nene-
zuela has not declared war against
Colombia
Colombia also, it is said, has made
response to the note of Secretary Hay.
While it's contents are not obtainable.
the statement is made that it is CON
cIllatory in character and expresses
an earnest wish that war with Nene-
Zuela may be avoided. Such result,
it is stated, would be a cause of gen
uine regret to the people Of Colombia.
Colombia, it is stated, stands ready to
accept the friendly Intervention Of
the United States to avert war and re-
poses full confidence in the latter
country.
