Springfield. fl., December 24.-The Al ton Hummer" fast passenger train sou-n- bound, on the Chicago & Alton railroad, was held up by four masked men about midnight near Hes station, four miles south of here.
 The robbers detached the engine and express car, and compelled the engineer to run two miles down the track, where they used dynamite in an attempt to blow open the safes in the express car.
 According to railroad and express oifi- cials the robbers obtained very little or value, although it is said. the safes contained large sum of money and much jewelry.
 None of the passengers on the train was disturbed The sheriff and posse who went in pursuit exchanged several shots with the robbers just as they were leav- ing the express car but no one was in- jured. The robbers carried with them two pouches containing negotiable papers which were of no value to them. These they dropped during the pursuit by the posse and the pouches were recovered. The report to the railroad office here says t4ia. while one robber compelled the engi- neer and fireman to walk back and forth with their hands up. the other bandit used tso charges of nitroglycerin upon the safe unsuccessfully and then tried dynamite without success. The safe. was badly battered. Engineer c. E. Hanks of the switch engine. carrying the Sfficers, said.
 T darkened the headlight. When We approached the scene of the hold up l saw the men working in the ditch over the packages they had stolen from the ex- press car. When they discovered We mad

STATE APARTMENT |SEMbARRASSEDBY
 COMING OF CASTRO
Government Wishing to Keep Ex-Venezuelan Die tat0r Out of U. s. Is
 in Quandary

Washington, December 23.-The coming 10 America under the name of Ruiz, of Clpriano Castro, one time president and practically dictator of Venezuela, was to- day communicated to the state depart ment from the American embassy Tn Paris The Venezuelan exile is aboard 1.a Touraine, which is due in New York Saturday, and the state department l. confronted with the disagreeable ques- ton of what 10 do with him. Castro has been kept under surveillance as much as possible for the last three years, though now and then he has disappeared from lle sight and knowledge of the state dee ra rtment. When 1t was reported that he had embarked from France 10 America last Saturday at Havre, the officials were incredulous. and it was only late today that official confirmation of his sailing was received.
 It is tacltly admitted that if Castro is to be kept out of the United States il must be done under color of the public health laws and regulations, for there Is no formal charge against him that would warrant such action. Therefore, the de- eision of the question as to his admission probably will be left 10 the department of commerce and labor, which is charged with the conduct Of lmmlgratfon
 Officials of that department today said Castro would be subjected to rigid ex- animation Immediately upon landing 10 determine his admlssbility to the coun- try, but no official was prepared today tu say whether the government as mat ter of policy would go to extremes to keep the Venezuelan out.
 Officials here would not hazard a guess as to the purpose of Castro 8 visit. Should the ex-president cherish design of start ing another revolution against the gov erbment of President Gomez i'll Venezue- la, it was pointed out. he certainly would find difficult field for his operations in tfis country, where his every move would b.. watched by agents of the department of justice to prevent violations of the neutrality law.

REBELS CAPTURE
 IMPORTANT TOWN Casas Grandes Falls-Gen. Blanco and 800 Federals
 Defeated

El Paso. Tex, December 2S.-Casas Grandes, the most important town in the ranching and numbering district south west of Juarez, has been taken by rebels personally commanded by General Pas cnal Orozco. Jr, it was reported today from federal and rebel official sources.
 A column of 800 men marching against the rebels at Ascension, was defeated, it was announced. The federal commander, General Jose Blanco. was taken pris- oner.
 Confirming this report s. D. Ambrose, an American hotel man of Columbus. N. NJ. arrived here today. He was in Ascen- sion at the time of its capture last Wednesday and talked with General salazar. whose forces took the town. While there messenger arrived directly from General Orozco with letter from i. the rebel leader saving that he had taken Casas Grandes and defeated Blanco. Blanco's force was entrapped, the official rebel report says, in a canyon north of casas Grandes Aside from capturing many rifles and much ammunition, the rebels secured two cannons. Details of the battles are lacking, but Casas Grandes was taken easily, OfOzCo $ wrote, as the federals left only 200 men to protect the town.
 By taking Casas Grandes. the scene of . hard struggle in the Madero revolu- tion in which the rebels were repulsed. the Orozco revolutionists control the Mex leo Northwestern railway, which runs be- tween Juarez, on the border, and Chihua- hua city, the state capital. The territory tributary to the American railway, which includes the Pearson syndicate's lumber ing towns of Pearson and Madeira. and the San Pedro mining district also Is brought under rebel rule. The railway wires are not operating west from Chi huahua city nor below Juarez and no rail way confirmation of the towns fall could be secured. The attack was made on Old Casas Grandes. the largest town in the district. The railway offices and American homes are at the new town some miles away and it is believed that no foreigners were injured.
 After taking Ascension last week. Il federal prisoners, including captain were executed in tine public plaza refugees reported today. Major L. C. Qulnteros. the Ascension federal com mander. who escaped, has arrived at the New Mexico border with one soldier as companion. He Is held by United States cBuoDs below Hachita.
