BANDITS ROB A TRAIN.
Daring HoId-Up Occurs I'm Indian Ter
ritory-stage Coach Robbery In
New York.

st. Louis, Aug. 14.-A special to the
Post Dispatch from Denison, Tex,
says: Missouri, Kansas & Texas pas
senger train No. 3, south-bound, was
held up and robbed Mt Caney switch,
1. T., Tuesday morning at 1880 o'clock,
by two men who got on the train at
Atoka. When two miles north OF
Caney they crawled over the tender
with pistols in hand, covered the en-
gineer and fireman and commanded
them to stop at Caney water tank.
There the two men were joined by
three others and at this juncture a
fusillade of shots alarmed the crew
and passengers.
Postal Clerk Tulley was compelled
to go through the train, carrying the
sack in which the valuables were
thrown. Every passenger was robbed,
and then the robbers turned their at
tention to the express cars. Both
safes were blown open with dynamite
and the contents secured.
While the robbery was going on, the
operator at Caney, hearing the shots,
advised the Denison Office that the
train was being robbed. After holding
the train two hours the robbers left,
going east into the bottoms.
The trainmen cut out the wrecked
express car and ran down to the Caney
station advising the offices up and
down the road. Within two hours United
States officers with bloodhounds
were on the trail, and it is rumored
that two of the men have been cap
tured, but the report lacks verification.
The express company claims that it
lost nothing and Conductor Dolan es-
Inmates the passengers loss at about
5000.
Glens Falls, n. Y, Aug. 15.-The Blue
Mountain stage, loaded with summer
resort visitors, was held up in true
Dick Turpin style by two masked
bandits on the steep mountain side
near. North river Wednesday after
noon, the robbers securing $1,000 in
money and jewelry. Eight passengers
were aboard, five men and three wom-
en-. Four of the male passengers
sprang from the stage as the shots
were fired, and, in spite of warning
cries and shots fred in their direction,
escaped into the brush. The mail
pouches and express packages were
opened and all money taken. The
bandits then disappeared in the woods.

MAY SPARE TAKU FORTS.
Thought That Possibly the Protocol
Is In Accordance with Ameri-
can Views.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Commission-
er Rockhill has not reported to the
state department as to whether the
protocol provides for the destruction
of the Taku forts, but if the press
advices are correct, that the minis
ters have failed to include this pro-
vision in the protocol, the result will
be in line with the desires of this
government from the outset. When
the first tentative plan of negotia-
tions was put forward, including the
razing of the Taku and other forts,
this government expressed doubt as
to the advisability of such a move,
and it has all along been averse to
including it in the protocol

wARsH1ps ON GUARD.
Rights Of the Uaited states ut the
Isthmus VIII no Fully
Protected.

Washington, Aug. 10. - Secretary
Hay is not at all alarmed by the re
ports from Berlin that Germany /:
sending warships to the Atlantic side
of the isthmus and that the cruiser
Geier is to go to Panama as soon as she
can be spared from the China station
1t is not expected that any occasion
will arise which would justify German
Intervention, and It is not believed that
the German government would inter
vene without Justification. However
this may be, the United States will
| have warships on both sides of the
isthmus before the arrival of the Ger
man ships and will be in position TO
take whatever action may be neces-
sary.
The battleship Iowa reported her ar
rival at San Francisco late last Friday
night, and as soon as the navy depart
ment opened Saturday morning orders
were telegraphed her to proceed at
once to Panama. Consequently she
will remain at San Francisco only long
enough to replenish her coal supply.
1t will take her about 10 days to make
the run, and she is expected to arrive
at Panama about August 81.
In the meantime the Ranger, which
sailed from San Diego Saturday, will
have reached there, and the Philadel-
phia, whichis at San Francisco. is I'M
der orders to prepare for service at
Panama. This will give the United
States an ample force on the Pacific
side of the isthmus.
The Machias is the only vessel thus
Atlantic side. She is expected to ar
rive at that port not later than Sun
day, August IS.
The department has under consider
alton the ordering to Colon of one or
more vessels from the North Atlantic
squadron. Whether these orders will
be issued or not will depend upon Sec
rotary Hay. His advice will be fol-
lowed by the navy department, and he
will be given as many ships as he may
consider necessary.
There was a dearth of news Sunday
bearing on the Colombian-Venezuela
trouble. Secretary Hay received no
dispatches bearing upon the subject.
The Colombian and Venezuelan lega-
tons were similarly without advices.
The most interesting development was
the news contained in press dispatch
from Quito that Ecuadorian troops
were ready to invade Colombia and
that battle was imminent near Paste.
Mr.. Silva, the Colombian minister,
while without advices from his gov
eminent, expressed the belief that
this new expedition was a part of the
revolutionary movement and that it
was in no sense organized by the Ecu
adorian government.
The department of state has received
n dispatch, dated August /, from the
consul at Maracaibo, reporting that
DR.. Rangel Garbias has invaded Vene-
zuela with 1000 men from the frontier
of Cucuta. Everything was done by
the Venezuelan government to meet
the invaders. The first fight took place
at Encontrados, and the invaders were
obliged to retire. They took two
steamers to Maracaibo. but these
boats were recaptured by the Vene-
Zuelan troops.

were burned to death, four were
drowned. three, and possibly four,
were suffocated and several injured as
the result of fire which destroyed a
temporary waterworks crib two miles
off the Cleveland harbor early Wednes-
day. The dead, so far as known, are:
Arthur Hasty. drowned. body recovered:
Mark Snyder, drowned; Arthur Hastings,
burned. Plummer Jones. suffscated; John

overcome by gas.
Still imprisoned in tunnel-Victor kauff-
man, Canton, probably dead; John Enging,
probably dead; Adam Kest. probably dead.
Twenty-six men obeyed the order of
Manager G.. c. Van Deusen when the
flames broke out and took refuge in
the water on floating pieces of wreck
age. Four of them lost their hold upon
their frail floats and sank beneath the
waves just as help reached their COM
rades. The crew of the tug j. X.
Sprankle heard the fire whistle blown
from the crib and raced to the scene
from the harbor. She picked up IS of
the survivors who had drifted to the
west of the crib on their floats of
boards and wreckage.
The crib is a total loss. 1t was
frame building 200 by so feet, the sides
sheathed with iron. 1t contained val
liable machinery. 1t is now n charred,
shapeless mass of wreckage, and min
gled with the blackened timbers are
blackened, rusted and twisted pieces
and plates of iron and steel. The crib
and machinery were the property of
Smaller & Schninglau, contractors.
Their loss will exceed 100000.
The tunnel, which has been under
course of construction for several
years past. and is still far from corl-
plete, has been the cause, all told,
of the loss Of more than 80 lives.
Four years ago aa explosion in the
shore section of the tunnel resulted
in the suffocation of 10 men. Two
years ago in similar accident sew
eral more men were killed at almost
the same place, and Wednesdays
catastrophe adds at least ten addi-
tional names to the death list.

Lost "A Series of Distressing
Disasters on Land
and Sea.

Victoria, .. c., Aug. 19.-As result
of a collision with an iceberg early last
Thursday morning the steamer Island
er, crack boat of the Canadian Pacific
Navigation company, sank and carried
down 20 OF its passengers and crew.
The steamer hit the floating mass OF
ice just before dawn. A heavy fog hung
over the sea, and to this Is attributed
the fact that Capt. Foote, who was on
the bridge, failed to observe his dan
ger.
The force of the collision was such
that an immense hole was torn in the
bow OF the vessel. The water poured
into the ship in such volumes that it
was impossible to close the water-tight
compartm doors, and the food soon
reached the engine-rooms.
just as the boats were lowered a
terrific explosion occurred, and scores
OF people who otherwise might have
been saved were killed.
Steward Simpson, who lost ten of his
men, tells a graphic story of the wreck
He forced his way on deck and reached
there just as the lifeboats were being
lowered.
The moment after the collision the
chief engineer started the pumps. but
the thrush of water was too rapid to
be checked.
The story of the wreck was first
learned at Treadwell, Alaska, when
party of the survivors, headed by
the chief engineer, staggered into
that little town. They had walked 25
miles up the beach, and were nearly
dead from exhaustion and hunger.
Two steamers were at once sent to
the scene of the wreck to search for
possible survivors.
Forty Survivors Picked Up.
At noon one of them, the Flossie,
returned with it's flag at half-mast.
On board were six dead bodies and
twoscore passengers who were picked
up while drifting around in open
boats without oars or sails.
There was s275,0OO in gold on the
steamer, 100000 of which was carried
by passengers. II. II. Hart, who has
spent 16 years in the Klondike, lost
$685. 900 in dust.
