previous to his employment by the

Heavy Rains Cause Slides.

Santa Rosa, Cal. Feb. 15.-The heavy
rains which are prevailing in Sonoma
and Mendocino counties have mater
iaIly blocked traffic. A land slide on
the California Northwestern railroad
at Hogan's cut. near Echo, Mendocino
county. has blocked the Ukiah ex-
press. and until an engine can be sent
from Tiburon to receive the transfer
red passengers and mail there will be
no means of getting out.
The Guerneville branch train carried
the passengers from this city and
southern points this morning.
The slide is reported to be very
severe one and several days may be
required to remove it. The engine and
ear derailed on the Southern Pacific
are still in the ditch Passengers are
belug transferred around the meak IN
the road bed. For fully an eighth OF
a mile the rails are torn up. There
we're six passengers in the coach Wheh
# went over. but none was injured.

Then he was dismissed from the SER
xice Of the company. The company
promised to not prosecute Jost IL he
would make the shortage good. Jost
said he could do So He managed to
make all good but $1,000. Saturday,
when he failed to come up with the
$1,000, his arrest was ordered,
Jost's peculations are alleged to have
covered a period OF more than year.
He worked them successfully by manip-
ulation Of the books, over which he
had complete charge. The facts Of the
shortage came out when creditors OF
the firm began to complain that they
had paid in money for which they were
given no credit. Jost was at once sus-
pected of wrong doing and was ac-
cused of the crime Then the COM
psny says he confessed.
What Jost did with the money seems
to be a mystery. He is not fast liver,
does not gamble or drink, and is con-
sidered a moderately even man In
everything.
The charge of embezzling $4,000 is
made. for that was the amount OF the
money taken. However, the firm is In
reality only loser to the amount of
$1,000.
Jost will be given a preliminary hear
ing tomorrow.

DR.. Thomas Herran, charge d'affaircs

decided to avail himself of the leave of
absence granted him. and will take his
departure from the United States some
time next month Already the legation
archives have been packed and stored.
Upon DR.. Herran's leaving the legation
in this city will be closed and its affairs
turned over to the Colombian consul gen.
eral in New York. In speaking of his
determination to return to Colombia, Dr.
Herran said that. so far as he could see,
his usefulness at this capital was at an
end. The various matters which have
arisen i'll consequence of Pananla's seces-
sion were, by virtue of the appointment
of General Reyes as special envoy, taken
out of the hands of DR.. Herran, leaving
him little or nothing to do. Besides, Dr.
Herran states that the need of a rest and
trip to Colombia to attend to some per-
sonal affairs add to the factors which in
f1uence him to take his leave of absence
at an early day.

shots fired into the cab. The fireman
and engineer were taken off the engine
and escorted to the second-class coach
and the robbers ran the train ahead about
half mile, when they blew open the
baggage car The train conductor went
forward, but was fired on and driven
back to the coaches. Conductor Peck,
who was deadheading over the line,
called for firearms and volunteers.

or Nicholas pacific utterances made
during the New Years reception at
the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, to-
gether with the favorable comments OF
the foreign press, which have been re-
produced here, have created splendid
impression and have also had good
effect in perceptibly diminishing the
war talk in army and navy circles,
which were quick to take their cue from
the assurance coming from the throne.
The newspapers, which have been dis
cussing the far Eastern situation with
considerable freedom, have grown al
most silent, and what they do say is
commendatory of the improved pros
poets OF peace.
