Oregon Bandits Understand Robbery and Do It Very Thoroughly. GRANTS PASS, On, July 3. — The Southern Pacific overland train, north bound, was stopped by three highwaymen near Riddles, about 30 miles south of Roseburg, and thoroughly robbed. Sticks of dynamite were placed on the rails, which disabled the engine by blowing the flanges Off the pony trucks and brought the train to a stop. Taking the firemen, two of the highwaymen proceeded to go through the train, apd every car from the express our to the rear Pullman was searched. N oth- ing was olltzlncd from the express car, for there was no treasure aboard. In the mail car better success was met, and the Port- land, Tacoma, Seattle and Victoria (B. C.) registered sacks were rifled. The pas- sengers were also searched, pretty thor- oughly, but just what success was met with is not known. One highwayman took a hasty shot at Conductor Kearney, who was in charge of the train, but no damage resulted. A de- scription of the men, or rather one of them in particular, is given as: Height, 5 feet 11 inches; light complexion, light mustache, proj eating upper jaw, very heavy pointed chin, two upper front teeth, pro— jccting and high cheek bones. He wore about a No. 8 shoe, with tacks in the bot;- toms. He had on blue overalls. The description of the other is that of a man about 5 feet 8 inches in height, but as he kept in the‘background a definite descrip- tion could not be had. . Mr. Fields of the Southern Pacific lost no time, and in an hour after learning of the holdup had two parties on the way to the scene of the robbery. .5. posse of offi- cers was hastily made up in Roseburg and started at once, and another of rough and ready mountaineers started from here. Every effort will be made to capture the robbers. The men of the party starting from here are thorough’; familiar with every foot of the ground in the neighbor- hood of the robbery, and pretty good hopes are entertained of capturing the robbers. The train Was delayed several hours, the engineer having been compelled to turn the engine around and go into Roseburg backward. The Trenton Investigation.

MORE RUlltlii OF WAR Russia Has Been Secretly Preparing For Japan In the East. READY-To BATTLE AT ouch. Bostilities Likely to Be Renewed In the Island. of Formosa—The Situation ..-. _ In Bulgaria Is Rapidly Be- ‘ tress— . coming Very Critical. TACOMA, Wash, July 2.—The Norwegian steamer Oscar II, 18 days from Vladivo- stok, Siberia, brings netvs that the indi- cations are good for another oriental war. Unknown to the outside world, Captain Sanderson of the steamer says, Russia has massed 80,000 men at» Vladivostok, and it is believed in Siberia that the prepara- tions are being made for an advance on Japan. Captain Sanderson says: Russia has been secretly but lively at work and in the event of trouble with Japan is preparing to hurl a formidable naval and land force into the coveted ter- ritory which Japan has wrested from Chi- na. Those ships and troops have been massed at Vladivostok, where the scene is decidedly warlike; The entrance to the harbor at Vladivostok is planted full of torpedoes, and no vessel is allowed to pass in or out without Russian na'Val officers on board as well as experienced Russian pilots who know where the torpedoes are planted. My vessel was escorted in this manner both coming in and. going out of - the harbor. Inside the harbor the entire Pacific fleet of Russian marships is massed ready to steam down the coast on a moment’s notice. On the. share 80,000 troops have been concentrated, and the evidence is clear that Russia is prepared for trouble in case the Japanese give any occasion for it. Russia’s Secret Precautions. The massing of the ships at Vladivo- stok has been done secretly by Russia, unusual precautions having been taken to prevent the spread of any intelligence re- garding the actual force she has quartered there. Russia’s designs cannot, of course, be told and are purely conjectural, but it is clear that if she builds a railway line south from Vladivostok to the Yellow sea her intention is to Obtain an open port and hold it at all hazards. The whole country looks like war, and the situation is considerably strained, but the peace element is hoping that the ten- sion may be relieved and matters settled without a resort to arms. It was intimated to Captain Sanderson beme he left that the government would be pleased if he did not take pains to spread his knowledge of the Operations at Vladivostok, but he did not hesitate much this evening when asked to tell what he knew, as he thinks the world is entitled to know the facts. , The Oscar II carried to Vladivostok a cargo of cement used in constructing the Transsiberian railroad. Captain'Sander- son says the construction of this road is being rapidly pushed, the czar of Russia having given orders to finish it as quickly as possible. As soon as this line is finish- ed, he says, the Russian government in- tends extending it from Vladivostok south through Manchuria and Korea to on open port on the Yellow sea. Bulgaria and Turkey. LONDON, July 2.—-A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Sofia says that the situation is serious. almost amounting Go a state of war, between Bulgaria and Turkey. News has been received at the Bulgarian capital that two bands, com— posed of 75 and 100 men respectively, have crossed the Bulgarian frontier into Turkish territory, where they captured two Turkish soldiers, who wore taken across the frontier to Dubitza, Bulgaria, 2-2 miles south of Sofia. One man was wounded. Fighting Probably In Formosa. HONGKONG, July ,2.-——-The British ad— miral has withdrawn t-he,3uard from the island of Formosa and has filtered to take foreigners aboard his ships. The German admiral has made a similar ofi'er.

Much in "rest was man- ifested in the Philadelphia “Schuetzen ve- rein, who numbered about 75 men, and who began shooting today. Among the cracks who tried their skill at marksman- ship today was W.
