Fight With ltobb.M.
Cheyenne, Wyo., June 7.—A second
b«tte with the dynamiters of the
Union Pacific express train has been
fought in the mountains forty miles
north of Casper, Wyo., by the sheriff's
posse which has been in pursuit since
Sunday morning, and as a result one
man, and probably more, lie dead.
The first battle was fought Sunday
on Teapot creek, thirty mues north of
Casper. No one was wounded during
this engagement, but several horses
were killed. The second battle was
fought yesterday evening at a point
ten miles further north, and in a wild-

Kansas City, Mo., June 7.—The con-
vention of Modern Woodmen of
America began yesterday. Ten thou-
sand Woodmen were present. The
opening session yesterday was entirely
routine and consisted of welcoming
addresses by Gov. Stanley of Kansas,
Mayor Jones, John Sullivan, on behalf
of the local Woodmen; Attorney Jas*
A. Reed, and response by Head Coun-
sel Wm. Northcutt of Illinois, and tha
appointment of committees.
At the afternoon session the ques-
tion of expansion caused a long debate,
but it was finally voted to extend the
er country. The robbers, being closely j onJer to the {onowjng states: Cali-
pressed, made a determined stand be- | fornla cxcept jn the city of San Fran-
hind some rocks in a deep ravine, and j dseo C0l0rad0t Connecticut, Dela-

Sheriff Joe Hazen of Dougless fell at
the first fire, being shot through the
stomach. The officer was removed to
a safe place, and afterwards brought
to Casper by two cowboys, arriving at
the latter place yesterday noon. Gen.
Manager Dickinson of the Union Pa- I
ciflc, who has been at Casper since j
Monday, directing the work of hunting !
down the robbers, tendered the use of j
his private train and Hazen was take.1
to his home at Dougass yesterday
evening. A message from there states
that the officer died shortly after j
reaching his home.
The posse resumed the fight, and was
successful in a short time in driving
the robbers from their stronghold and
away from their horses, which were
secured. The robbers retreated to a j
natural fort among the rocks some two
miles away, where they entrenched
themselves and prepared for a bitter
fight. The posse quietly divided up j
j cept the city of Baltimore; Massachu-
setts, except the city of Boston; Maine,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, except the cities of Buffalo and
Greater New York; Oklahoma. Rhode
Island and Vermont. A proposition to
! extend the order to the Dominion of
Canada was voted down.
Hank Victimized.
T.ouisville, Ky., June 7.—The German
bank of this city was victimized out of
$5000 Monday afternoon by two well-
dressed young men, who worked a
neat game. Just before the hour for
closing the banks the assistant cashier
of the German Insurance bank was
rung up by telephone and asked if he
could accommodate the Citizens' Na-
tional bank with $">000 in currency.
On being answered in the affirmative
the inquiring party said he would send
two men around to get the money.
Shortly afterward two men appear-
ed at the bank with a check for $5000
and surrounded the place. When the
courier left the scene the officers were j bearing the supposed signature of the

■Washington, June 5.—Diplomatic re-
lations with Spain, broken off April 21,
189S, were formally resumed at 11
o'clock Saturday when President Me-
Klnley greeted Due d'Arcos, the newly
accredited minister to the United
States, in the blue parlor of the white
house.
The ccremony was exceedingly slm
pie. Promptly at 11 o'clock, the hour
set, the two carriages containing the
Due d'Arcos, Secretary Hay and tlie
secretaries of the new Spanish minis-
ter, Senor Riano and Pastor, reached
the white house.
On reaching the blue parlor they
were presented by Secretary Hay t«
Col. Bingham, who remained with
them while the secretary of state re-
tired for a moment. He immediately
reappeared with President McKinley,
to whom he presented the Due d'Arcos
and Senors Riano and Pastor. The
president was cordial, but dignified in
his greeting. The Due d'Arcos then
read his address in Spanish as follows:
"Mr. President: I have the honor to
place In your excellency's hand the
royal letter by which her majesty, the
queen regent of Spain, In the name of
her august son, King Don Alfonso
XIII, accredits me near this govern-
ment in the capacity of envoy extraor-
dinary and minister plenipotentiary.
"I have come to renew the relations
of friendship which have existed from
old between Spain and the Unit-
ed States, and which were interrupted
by the war of last year. The treaty of
peace which Spain has signed put an
end to that war and now looking only
to the future, Spain desires that her
relations with this republic may be as
friendly as they were in times past,
and from the days in which this coun-
try was struggling to gain its inde-
pendence. It Is my task to contribute
to the renewal of these relations, to
strengthen them and to draw them
closer; in the discharge of it I hope to
be aided by the kindness and co-opera-
tion of your excelency and of your
government."
The president responded as follows:
"Mr. Minister: I receive with the
greatest gratification the letter by
which her majesty, the queen regent
of Spain, in the name of her august
con, King Alfonso XIII, has accredited
you near the government as envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary. You will find, Mr. Minister, a
cordial welcome in this country, not
only from those whose friendship you

Manila, June 6.—Geit. Hall's column,
in movement upon the Morong pen-
insula, completed a circuit of twenty
miles over rough and mountanious
country, having two engagements with
the insurgents, one of them severe,
and keeping up an almost constant fire
against scattered bands of rebels for
nearly twenty-four hours from 4
o'clock Saturday morning, when the

favor of a revision o J e Dreyfus case
and ordering a new court-martial to
sit at Rennes. sixty miles from Nantes,
for the trial of the prisoner.
Previous to the announcement of the
verdict the crowds outside assembled
at the palace of justice and its neigh-
borhood, awating the decision. Per-
fect calm prevailed. The decision says
the prisoner is to be retried on the fol-
lowing questions:
"Is Dreyfus guilty of having in 1884
practiced machinations or of having
had communication with a foreign
power of its agents, with the view of
facilitating ac ts of hostilities in the
case of war with France, or having
furnished the means therefor by fur-
nishing documents retraced on the bor-
dereau?"
The audience received the decision
with cries of "Vive la justice!" "Vive

Tie matron of a well known Masonic Home mentions one inmate,
seventy years of a^e, who has been in the infirmary for three years,
a great sufferer from indigestion, and has been taking Ripans Tab-
ulcs about a year and a half and finds them so beneficial that he is
never without them. He is willing that his name should be used in
a testimonial, as it might be of use in persuading some other person
to try them. A second old gentleman, in the same institution,
eighty-four years of age, has had liver trouble for many years and
finds that R I P A N'S help him very much. They also have two
nurses there, one thirty years of age, the other forty-two; both suffer
from indigestion, causing headache, depression of spirits and nerv-
ousness. They take the Tabules and find them so useful that theyi
always have a package in their pockets. The matron also states
