TRAIN HELD UP BY FOUR —_ | DITS Express Car on the Southern Robbed at Midnight at Cochise, Ariz, SEVERAL THOUSAND TAKEN. Ei Paso, Tex Sept, ero Pacific train No. 10, El Paso yesterday afternoca 11 charge of conductor Parker, with engineer Rich at the which bed by four outlaws just before mid night Saturday at Cochise, Ariz The boldup was one of the most daring in the annale of that section jof Arizona and was accomplished witbout firing a shot. the lowest estimate, the outlaws se- cured $2 000 while persons in a po sition to know say that $10,000 was secured. The trainmen say the bandits were heavily loaded with booty as they road away, but could not tell how much was secured. STATION SAFE CLEANED OUT Cochise is a lonely little way sta tion, ten miles west of Wileox and 233 miles distant from El Paso. It has 4 telegraph office. The west bound train is dus to reach Oochise at11:10 pm. Last night, a half hour before its arrival, four heavily armed men, who had been camping in the vicinity a day er two and passing themselves off as hay cut- ters, stalked into the agent’s office and ordered him to throw up his hands. He was working the instru- ment at the time, and as he looked up his eyes met the muzzles of six shooters in the hands of two of the men, they were pointed at his heart, and he lost no time in obeying. Two of the men immediately tura ed their attention to the office safe and quickly emptied it of valuables In afew minuets the train was due, and when the headlight became visible, two of the men quietly left the office and stationed themselves ;a@ short distance from the depotin the yards, where the darkness was deepest. When the train passed them they clambered onto the front end of the mail car, and crawling up on the tender, covered the engineer and fireman with their guns, order- ing them to obey orders or take the consequences. Messenger Adair was in charge of the express car. As the train slowed down he threw open the door of his compartment. The muzzle ofa six shooter was thrust under his nose and his hands went above his head. Dynamite was produced and appli- ed to the safe. Three distinct explosions were heard by the anxious men at the station and then there was silence At the end of halfan hour the en gine came slowly back to Cochise with two cars and pushed them up to position where they could be re- coupled to the rest of the train. The engineer said that the robbers had exploded three charges of dyna- mite before they succeeded in wreck ing the safe, and the side and roof of the car bore evidence of the pow- er of the explosion. They had looted the safe and it} appeared to him that they must have secured considerable gold and| silver cein, for they had all they ycould carry when they left the car.

New York, Sept 11.—Tbe Werld | publishes a dispatch from Gibralter |giviug an interview with Admiral | Dewey, jast before the Olympia | sailed for New York. The World’s | correspondent asked the admiral for j;@ «tat+m-ot of his views as to the policy “Tve littl+ to say,” | Poilppme he said, “until | the reccommendations of the com nission of which I am a member are aid before President McKinley ” “Did you read what Mr Sherman, had to say upon his return from the Pailip lone of the commissioners, | pines? ‘As he is quoted in the newspa- pers he defisitely explains my posi tion. I quite agree with what Mr. Indeed, I attach great importance to his opinion. He is anu able and high-minded man, whose intelligence and conscientious | devotion to the task assigned him }won my admiration. We were in variably in accord.” Admiral Dewey bas never express- ed regret that he asked to be made one of the Philippine commissioners On the other hand he bas said that he is glad that he was a member of the committee and his greatest de sire now is to putits report in the hands of the president as soon as possible. CAPABLE OF SELF GOVERNMENT “You may add this,” the admiral said with great earnestness. “I bave not changed my opinion, which I stated in the early days at Manila, then speaking of knowledge of both peoples, that I consider the Philip- pines more capable of self govern- ment than the Cubans. “I took an interest in those Filip- inos who were employed at the arse- ; Sherman says nal in Cavite and often I was eur- prised by their intelligence. With fair and properly directed oppor tunities there are great possibilities in the Filipinos.” Frora Montpelier the admiral ex- pects to return to Washington for the session of the Philippine com- mission. “JT do not know,” he said, “if Col- onel Denby will return by that time. If he has returned I hope to meet both him and Mr. Sherman 1a Washivgton. Of course, General Otis can not leave the Philippiner, and I see that Prof Dean Worcester is still in the islands. However, there may be tbree of us, and as we are in accord, there should be little difficulty in making our formal re- port. I hope we will get to work at once and keep at it untilour task is finished. Anyway, Shurman and myself can put our heads together.” I mentioned to the admiral what| was uppermost in the minds of many men who were at Manila— what his officers believe—that had} ernor general there would have been no rebellion. The admiral raised | bis eyebrows at this as one who gets | information forthe first time. He was absolutely startled. End Comes to Eustis, Newport, R.
