With his two brothers, he visited his
father a few days ago and started an
argument over the possession of a
house which they claimed to be theirs
by right of Inheritance from their
mother The argument ended in an at
tack upon the old man, in which clubs
and fists We're used vigorously. He

MEXICAN TRAIN HELD UP.
Robbers Were Northumberland
$4,000 in Currency.

SoO,OOO IN Currency.
FL Paso. Tex. July IA daring
hold-up took place on the Mexican
Central about 1890 o'clock yesterday
morning. just after the train left Ber-
niji1lo. At Bernijillo three Americans
boarded the train, two secreting them
selves on the blind baggage and the
other entering the third-class coach.
As soon as the train pulled out the
two riding on the blind baggage en-
tered the express car and, covering
the messenger. T. Z. Buckier. with
their guns, ordered him to throw up
his hands. The messenger offered no
resistance. The robbers then went
leisurely through the safe securing
$4,000 in currency consigned to the
Banco Mirero at chihuahua.
They also took what other money
packages were in the safe and stood
quietly by until the train stopped
making a hasty exit. and dropping off
the train as IL was slowing down Aft
er alighting they disappeared into the
darkness of the night
About the time the robbers entered
the express car the conductor of the
train became engaged in an alterca-
ton with a passenger who refused to
pay his fare. Finally the conductor
had the train stopped and the passen-
ger elected
The robbers alighted at the same
time. II is now believed the trouble
some passenger was a partner OF the
robbers and his actions a ruse to Sc
cure the stopping of the train

ANNEXATl0NISTS
CAUSING TROUBLE
Party to Start a Campaign for
Annexation.
CUBAN PLANTERS FAVOR MOVE
THINK THAT UNITED STATES Is
AWAITING CHANCE TO GRAB.

n EW YORK, July 23.-The annexa-
Y ton movement. has caused some
feeling among the Cubans, who
want the island TO have a fair chance
in trying to solve the problem of self
government, cables the Havana cor
respondent of the Tribune.
The Observation-Disclosures say the
champions Of the annexation consist
largely of men who, when the war was
on, spent the time at watering places
In the United States or Mexico: who.
when the war was over, flocked back to
Cuba, expecting TO get the lions share
of the spoils, 10 which those who had
fought for independence were entitled.
The reports of possible disturbances
IN Cuba do not seem TO have any sub
stantial foundation. The Cubans real-
lie that the eyes of the world are upon
them, as well as the United States, and
their pride is at stake.
some of the annexa tionists say that
the United States would only want a
pretext to tell the Cubans they had a
trial and had been found wanting.
Has Aroused Bitter Feeling.
A few Of these enthusiasts actually
imagine that if somebody was to
gather party of a few hundred men
together. make a dash for the woods
rob a few pastures and burn few
plantations. as soon as the news was
flashed 10 Washington troops would at
once be ordered to Cuba, and the in
PREVENTION would be at hand again.
1t is such talk as this that has made
the anti-annexatiOnists so bitter
against the annexatiOnists.
1t must be said, however that there
are in the ranks of the annexationists
men of high character, who are per-
fectly conscientious in their advocacy
OF annexation and have no personal
motives in wishing to bring il about
Cuban planters have an organization
known as Circulo de -Haciendos. a
society which has been fostering the
movement for annexation, and a meet
ing has been called for July so. when it
is purpcsed that entirely new officers
shall be elected and that only annexa-
uonists shall figure in the new per-
sonnet
Then, it is said. a regular campaign
Tor annexation will be started
