MANILA , pet. 1C. The authorities
wore informed yesterday from reliable
sources that an outbreak In the poorer
districts of Manila had been carefully
planned for daylight on Sunday. It

All the small fchops , which the
guards usually forced to close at 8:30 :

CHICAGO , 111. , Oct. 11. The North
western 'limited train leaving Chicago
at 10:30 : p. m. last night was held up
not far from Dekalb , 111. , nnd robbed.
The train is duo nt Dekalb at 12:20. :
and the holdup occurred at tower W ,
throe miles fiom Maple Park , 111. It
Is not known whether the robbers GO-
cuied any great amount of booty. A
special train containing a number of
armed men and detectives left the
Northwestern station In Chicago to
night , bound for the scene of the rob
bery.
It Is said there were fivp masked men
engaged In the operation. The train
was flagged , and while two of the men
compelled the engineer and fireman to
run the engine ahead , the balunco of
them robbed the train. The train dis
patcher's office of tae Northwestern
road In this city admitted the truth of
the story to the central police officials.
The robbery was evidently carefully
planned. T > venty minutes before tlw
train was due at Maple Park the rob
bers burst Into the station house and
presenting revolvers at the head of the
station agent , compelled him to remain
quiet while they bound him. After ty
ing him fast to a .chair they forced a
gag into his mouth and left him ut
terly helpless.
The signals were then changed so
that the train would bo compelled to
stop before reaching the depot. The
robbers went down the track to a
point where the train would stop and
waited for it. As soon as It came tea
a halt two of the men covered the ea-
ginecr and fireman with revolvers and
after uiicoilpllng the'englne , compelled
the engineer to run It down the track
two miles.
With dynamite the robbers blew up
the express car , practically demolish
ing it and blocking the track.
They then cracked open the safe and
rifled it. It is not known how mucn
money was secured. Immediately after
grabbing what they could from the
safe the robbers lied Into the darkness.
They are now being pursued , but the
robbers have quite a lead over the
posse that is after them.

BOERS ARE VERY ACTIVE.
Rumor Current Unit an Attack Will
Soon Ho HIuilc.
LADYSMITH , Natal , Oct. 14. ( New
York World Cablegram. A rumor is
current that Ladysmith is to be at
tacked tonight. There is the utmost
activity In the British camp here. Yet
I doubt the report because the Boers
hate attacking and rarely leave their
laagers ( camps ) after sundown.
I am strongly of the opinion that
the Boors will find a tough Job at
what-ever point they invade. The
British officers and soldiers are well
prepared and eager to fight. Authen
tic news from the Transvaal Is most
difficult to obtain , but It cannot bo
that war has not been declared. It la
also impossible to doubt that the
Boers have taken a position on the
Ingogo Heights on the British side
of the border. They have moved their
camp from Albertlna , near the border ,
and are at present in force at Mount
Tiutwa.
