New York, Feb. 11.-At dinner
given in his honor by Charles r. Flint.
Senior Enrique 9. Creel, banker OF
the City OF Mexico, was the principal
speaker. The dinner was attended by
a number of prominent financiers. 1t
is the general belief that Senior Creel
has come to arrange some way OF put

her present silver standard. Senior
Creel said:
"Senor Limantour will be the acting
president of Mexico during the Euro
pean trip of President Diaz, which will
take place in the near future. France
will be the first country visited. but
the probabilities are that he will visit
London and all the great Continental
cities. On tho return trip New York

gramme, he the port Of debarkation.

Mexico are concerned, the financial
and industrial interests Of the two
countries are of the closest and most

been 40 enormous in recent years that

ants. General Macarthur states that
insurgents who threaten, kidnap or as
sassinate natives friendly to the
Americans are guilty Of violation OF
the laws of war and must eventually
answer for murder or such other crime
as may result from their unlawful &C.
tons. Persons who do things inimicai
to the interests of the American army
will be punished in spite Of plea OF
intimidation.
When, as is known to be the case IN
many places occupied by United States
troops, secret committees are allowed
to exist and to act in behalf OF the So
called insurgent government by collect
ing supplies, recruiting men and send
ing military information to the insur'
gent camps, the persons who screen
these committees are in danger OF be-
ing punished as war traitors. The
proclamation continues:
1.-THE practice OF sending supplies TO
insurgent troops from places occupied
by the United States must cease.
These remarks all apply with special
reference to the city OF Manila. which
is we'll known rs rendezvous from
which an extensive correspondence Is
distributed to ali parts of the archie

emissaries Of the insurrection. The

to injure the army Of occupation and

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY.
Three Weli.Known Men We're Trailed Through

Sioux City, Ia, Feb. l2.-Three
men, believed to have been implicated
in the theft last night at Manila, Ia.
of United States Express Company's
safe, said to contain $4,000, we're ar
rested at that place this morning.
They were traced by their tracks in
the snow. The men are John Jack
son, John Stovall and Charles Hayes.
All live at Manila, and are we'll known.
Their regulations heretofore have not
been bad. They stoutly protested
their innocence. Mrs. jackson. wife
of John jackson, was also arrested.
but at n preliminary hearing, she was
released. The three men are in Jail,

fixed at $4,000 each.
None OF the money or valuables, has
been recovered. The safe that was
stolen contained in the neighborhood
of $4,000. Two thousand dollars was
in cash. and the remainder in drafts,
checks and various valuables. While
the robbery undoubtedly was delber-
ately planned, as the horse and wagon
were in waiting in convenient spot,
it is not believed that the men knew
they were making SO rich haul.
They had no means Of knowing the
contents of the safe, only that it was
used in carrying valuables.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
train on which the safe was taken
from Sioux City, arrived at Manila at
sos p. NJ. The Omaha train was

with other articles, was placed on .
truck on the depot platform, and then
Sturtevant and the baggageman went
to the other end OF the platform to get
another truckload. When Sturtevant
returned he noticed the articles on the
truck were disarranged. and glance
showed that the iron box was gone.
There was great excitement. and no
time was lost in spreading the alarm.
Marshal Fearall hastily assembled .
posse. Snow lay thick on the ground.
and it did not take long to discover
the tracks OF two persons. who evident
~ had been carrying something heavy
directly from the truck, az !. stood on
the depot platform.
They carried the safe distance of
about two blocks. and then loaded it
into wagon. which had been left
there in waiting. The wagon was
driven about mile and half ont into
the country. and there the safe was
forced open and the contents abstract.
cd. The men abandoned the safe and
went their way on new track. 1t
was not difficult. however. to trace
them, and this morning three arrests
were made. The authorities say the
shoes of two Of the men under arrest fit
exactly the tracks in the snow.
