to bring some apples from the cellar.

STRONG EVIDENCE
AGAINST SUSPECTS
BILLS FOUND ON THEM CORRE-

EVIDENCE is CONCLUSIVE
HELD IN $4,000 BAIL.

Omaha, May 3O.-What is regarded
as the strongest bit of evidence
against the three men now under ar
rest mere for the Union Pacific train
robbery is the finding yesterday of
certain bills upon them. A western
bank was sending $84 in mutilated
currency to Washington for redemp-
ton, and accompanying the shipment
was a description of the mut:lated
currency. The description enumer-
ated the bills, several of which were
found upon the men, rolled up with
other money that it is supposed, was
also taken from the rifed pouches.
The postoffice authorities regard
this evidence as absolutely conclusive
and now eXpI ess no doubt whatever
OF their ability to secure conviction.

Lima, Peru, May 3O.--A rising of
political factions occurred here at
4:30 yesterday afternoon, with the OBJ

OF President Leguia.
The adherents of Augusta Durand,
who was concerned in the revolution

and of Isais PieroIa also a notorious
agitatOr, made an assault upon the
palace and seized President Leguia.
The army, however, remained loyal
and came to his support The reVo-
lutionists were obliged to liberate the
president, who Immediately took
measures to put down the movement.
Within an hour, although firing was
st heard in the streets, President

situation.
Many shots were exchanged be-
tween troops and revolutionists and
it Is believed that the casualties win
be heavy. The cavalry is now on
