train, carrying government money and
guarded by detachment of soldiers
and gendarmes. was attacked Satuf-
day between Czenstochowa and Herby
by numerous, well-armed band.

gendarmes, four soldiers and two civil
employees were killed and others of
the guards were wounded. The at
lacking party carried OFF $4,000 aud
the arms of the defenders Of the train.

which captured a train on Thursday,
announcing that the revolution had
begun.

ferment and sympathizing with the
guerrilla bands. The small force of
troops operating in the district will
be reinforced.
Agitators are making capital over
the recent incidents. They affirm that
it will be difficult for the provincial
administration to detach enough
troops from the cities and towns to.
make the net large enough to catch
the marauders.
Others Killed.
Besides Gems. Zukat and Weiten-
ring the revolutionists shot and killed
the cashier Of the custom house at
Herby, who was in charge of the
money, and who was in the same car
as the generals. They also wounded
colonel, the conductor and some
civilian passengers, in addition to those
already mentioned. Another account
says that 1t was the assistant cash
Ter of the custom house at Herby, M.
| pemieneo, who was killed, and not
the cashier.
Col. Brzezicki and other passengers
were compelled to give up all their
personal cash.
The robbery occurred near the Ger
man frontier.

ing party consisted of ten revolution
