POWERS TO ACTION
ANOTHER BOXER MOVEMENT
STARTED IN CHINA.
American and British Gunboats Dis
patched TO Scenc-Anti-Fo reign Out
break in Chang Sha Is Widespread,
and Government Fears More Outrages
-Four Missions Destroyed.

Pekin, April 1S.-Intervention by for
eign powers, similar to that of the
time of the Boxer uprising in 1900 is
believed to be imminent by government
officers as a result of the anti-foreign
outbreak in Chang Sha.
Advices from there say the arrival of
British gunboat and the news of three
other British warships, the American
cruiser Cleveland, and one French gun
boat, are on their way to the scene of
the trouble, have had temporary quiet
ing effect on the natives.
The outbreak is so widespread, how
ever, that the government fears other
outrages will be committed that will
lead to foreign occupation of the city.
Four Missions Destroyed.
Four foreign missions have been de-
stroyed, the latest word being that the
Yale mission, maintained by Yale uni
versity, was burned today. The missions
had property valued at considerably
more than 100000. They were main
tanned by England and America. These
nations will demand full indemnity.
The settlement of this indemnity is
likely to prove a delicate matter of
diplomacy, although China is in no po-
sition to resist a determined demand.
The gunboats and the cruiser Cleve-
land are under forced draught, and will
all be at the scene of the trouble soon.
Guard Against Mines.
The vessels have their torpedo nets
spread, fearing mines in the Slang
Kiang
The nature of the orders communi-
Gated to the commanders of these YES
sells has not been disclosed to the Chi
nese government. This has irritated
the government, which declares that if
it knew the intentions of the foreign
powers it might take the necessary
steps TO avoid such a display Of naval
force.
Hankow, northwest of Chang Sha
is filed with refugees from the rioting
city. Most Of them fled with few OF
their possessions. Practically all their
belongings have been lost in the fire
that destroyed the mission buildings.
Some of the Refugees.

refuge in Hankow are w. ii. Watson

DARING ROBBERY ON
CALIFORNIA MAIL TRAIN
Thieves Get Nine Registered Pouches
on San Francisco Train
and Escape.

Benicia, Cal, April 1s.-Four pouches
of registered matter on the China-Japan
Mail, which left San Francisco for the
east at clock Saturday night and
was held up by two masked men at
Sprig, two miles east of here, at 12: 80
o clock Sunday morning and robbed of
nine pouches of registered mail, have
been recovered, but the robbers rifled
the others and are now hiding with
their loot in the hills and canyons be-
tween Martinez and Oakland.
The passengers on the train were not
disturbed. After getting the mail sacks
the robbers cut the engine loose from
the train and sent it wild, throttle open,
down the main track to the east.
But for the presence of mind of a
telegraph operator at Suisun a fearful
accident would have taken place. The
engine was thrown into a switch in the
nick of time.
The train robbery is the first that has
occurred in California for several years.
1t was plotted and executed in a dar-
ing, spectacular fashion.
Before the fast mail had arrived at
Benecia two men who had left Oakland
on another train two hours earlier, and
had left the train on the Port Costa
ferry boat, climbed unobserved on the
rear end of No. 10 IS locomotive. The
China-Japan mail had gone less than
five miles from the Benecia landing
when the stowaways crawled over the
oil tank in the tender and presented re-
volvers at heads of the engineer and
fireman and ordered them to stop the
train and get off the engine.
eve are not going to hurt you, "
said one of the robbers. "All we want
is the treasure box; take us to the ex-
press car.
When informed by the crew that the
train carried no express matter, and
had no express car, the robbers evident
ly had miscalculated.
Intimidate the Train Crew.
Arrived there, they threatened to
blow it up with dynamite if the door
was not opened. Under this threat
Herbert J. Black, who was in charge
w. Clancy, appeared at the door. The
robbers compelled the engineer and fire
man to enter the car, with orders to
throw out the registered mail"
Black started to toss out newspaper
sacks, but the robbers showed their ia
miliarity with the situation by detect
ing the ruse at once. They threatened
to XIII Black unless he gave them regis
tered mail Black and the engine crew
were forced to take the sacks TO che
engine.
The engine and the mail car were
then uncoupled from the coaches filled
with sleeping passengers and run down
the track two miles. Here the mai
sacks were thrown out upon the ground
the engine was uneoupled, its throttle
pushed wide open, and il began4 its wild
journey toward the other cos 6llee
with passengers, at Telenas, four miles
east.
