having meanwhile been loaded with
coal and other material at the Wil

Havana, May 31. In a leading urtl

which have uppoared In a Washington
nowspapors over tho hignuturu of
Mr. Pepper, who, in tho guise
of an intimate friend of Presi

accompanied tho latter to Cuba. El
Dlarlo Do La Marina maintains that
many incidents of tho interior work

are wholly private, havo been divulged
In Mr. Popper's letters, thus tendlug
to compromise Mr. Calhoun. Tho
papor also roscuts Mr. Pepper's un
friendly attitude toward Spain in his
reports on the Cuban question, ex
pressing disgust that, whllo ho blames
Spain for tho natural result of the
war, ho has no word of censure for
tho Cuban insurgents, whoso torches
sro destroying the wealth of tho
Island.
In closing its article, El Dlarlo Do
La Murhia calls attention to tho fact
that two New York nowtpapurj whoso
Cuban representatives are scarcely
favorable to Spain maintain bureaus
In Havana under thu muuu root with

ROBBERS WANT $50,000.
They Offnr to Return Stolen Ilond. Haul
Static Nineteen' Year Ago.
New York, May 31. Nineteen yean
ago tho country was startled by the
report of the biggoit bank burglary
known In the history of tho world.
It occurred Sunday, October 27. 1878.
Tho Manhattan Savings institution of
this city was robbed of securities esti
mated at 83,747,700 and 911,000 in cash.
With tho exception of a few of tho
bonds offered for sale some time ago,
nona of thr securities have been re
covered. It was believed that they
had been burled or destroyed.
That the securities are still la exist
ence are known here A short time
ago negotiations wero opened between
men said to represent the burglars aud
President Joseph Bird of the Manhat
tan Savings Institution for their re
turn. The burglars have mado a demand
for 930,000, and no questions to be
asked, with the understanding that
the securities are to be handed over in
good shape and that Immediately upon
their dollvcry the money shall be paid
In caah.
President Dird, who nt tho tlmo of
tho robbery was paying teller of tho
Manhattan Savings Institution, said
to-day that 10,000 had been asked for
the return of the bonds aud although
tho bank officials would like to get
them back he dcclarod they would not
pay tho amount asked. Continuing
Mr. Bird said:
"Many of the securities are worth
less to-day, I should say, since tho
government camo to our assistance
10 mo time ago by an act of Congress
authorizing tho secretary of tho treas
ury to reissue duplicates In placo of
the stolen United States bonds.
"There was a number of other bonds
Usued by cities and corporations, how
ever. Some of these are duo soon, and
of course wo would liko to havo tho
originuls, an it would make it easier
for us to collect the moneys involved.
"I refer particularly to tho Yon Iters
:lty 7 por cent coupon bonds. Tuero
ivero 8118,000 Yunkers bonds stolen,
and out of that amount we havo re
ceived 908,000, which loaves 920,000
duo."
Mr. lllrd stated that he bolicvcd the
offer to bo mudo In good faith, aud the
caso has been placed iu tho hands of
tho bank's counsel. Thoso who par
ticipated in or were connected with
thu robbery wero Jimmy Hope, John
Hope, Patrick Shevolln, the watch
man ottyq banWilllain Kelly, Peter
Emerson, alias "Banjo Pete;" John
Nugent, a policeman, Eddlo Goldlng,
alias "Eddie Goodie;" John Tracy and
Johnny Dobbs. Of these Jimmy and
John Hop are living in this city. The
others aro all either dead or In prison.
KING GEORGE UNPOPULAR
Autl-Urnaitlr Feeling Wlde.pread Hu
mor of a Coniplrnry.
London, May 31. The Berlin corre
spondent of the Daily Mall says today:
"From a Itusslan source comes news
of a conspiracy against King George of
Greece far more deeply rooted than
was supposed. There Is ludubltablo
ovidenco that Premier Rnlll and his
colleagues In thu cablnot aro gravely
Implicated in a plot to overthrow tho
dynasty."
Athknb, May 31. King Goorge paid
a visit to M. Onou, thu llussluu minis
ter, Saturduy, and after a two hours'
Interview sent a long telegram to Em
peror Nicholas, urging him to inter
vcuo on behalf of Greece.
Turkey's continued arming and re
ported Itusslan preparations, with
other rumors of a bellicose character,
ralso tho hopo that Greece may geb
benefit from n general European wur.
But tho majority of tho nations,
sobered by a sad experience, are only
desirous that Europe shall protect
Greece against her conqueror.
Thoru is no reason to fear that cither
Bulgaria or Scrvia will abandon tho
policy it has followed thus far. Tho
Turkish troops who have been sent to
tho Servian aud Bulgarian frontiers
aro only intended to replace thoso
who wero withdrawn Just before tho
wur began.
The reports of nlartnlng anti-dynas-tlo
troubles, published abroad, cnuso
surprise here, as there Is no sign ot
uny such movement, nor is any prom
iuent politician likely to commit him
self to un nntl-dynustlo program. It
uppears that tho Prince of Wales has
expressed his personal desire that
Crown Prince Constantino should come
to London for tho jubllco festivities,
and this is regarded as Indicative of
English good will toward Greece.

PROPOSED STAMP TAX.
Cheek, Deed anil Mortgage Contract
May Be Had to Yl.ld a Rerenae.
Nkw York, May 31. Bankers are In
terested, In dispatches announcing that
the finance committee of the Senate Is
considering a proposition to umend the
tariff bill by substituting for the tax
on tea and tho lncrenso of the tax on
beer a tax on bank checks, deeds,
raorgages and other conveyances and
contracts.
Additional interest was imparted to
this subjeet by tho fact that Senator
Piatt has announced his determination
to help secure this action.
Tho Impression prevails, however,
that there is not much likelihood of
the adoption of this substitute, which
Is generally opposed. E. B. Randolph,
president of the Continental National
bank, said:
"I have always been in favor of a
stamp tax on bank checks and other
Instruments. I believe It Is a prac
ticable and fair way to raise money. I
was surprised when the old law was
repealed, and I cannot see why there
should be any opposition to a provis
ion of this sort. One advantage about
a tax of this kind Is that it is easily
collectible"
At tho National City bank It was
said that there are serious objections
to the tax on the part of banks.
"On tho face of It," said James Ross
Curran, assistant cashlor, "the taxis
to bo paid by tho person who draws
the check, but In reality tho banks
would pay a considerable proportion
of tho tax. Checks would get In with
out a stamp and the bank would put
stamps upon them. It is thought that
the imposition ot the tax would causo
restriction of the use of checks."
William Sherrcr, manager of tho
clearing house, In discussing tho oper
ation of tho old stamp law, said:
"The tax on checks used to be 3
cents, without reference to tho amount
of tho check, but there wero stamps
ranging In value from that amount up
to 8500. On mortgages, bonds and
other Instruments thu stamp repre
sented a per ccntago of the amount of
the conveyance.
"Banks would deposit say 81,000 and
got a certificate authorizing the issu
ance of stumps to the amount of 91,050
and afterward tho stamp was made a
part of tho check, just printed on.
There was a margin of 3 por cent on
amounts up to 8100, of 4 per cent on
amounts up to 8300 und ot 5 per cent
on amounts of 81,000, the premium be
ing pntd In stamps."
RUSHING IT THROUGH.
Remarkable Frogrei Is Ilelng Mad ta
the Tariff Debate.
Washington. May 31. The impres
sion was general about the Senate at
the close of the first week's discussion
of the tariff bill that the sugar sched
ule would be reached towards the close
of the present week. The progress so
far mado Is generally regarded as lit
tle less than phenomenal, as mod
ern tariff debates go, Senator
Vest doclarcs that tho present
bill is as far advanced now as was
tho Wilson bill after five weeks of dis
cussion, while Seuutcr Jones of Ar
kansas asserts that as much of tho
present bill was passed over on the
first day of consideration as was dis
posed of In the Wilson bill lu threo
weeks. Tho Republican! generally
concede that good progress has been
made, but they aro not Inclined to
felicitate themselves too much until
they see what policy Is to be pursued
when the questions of moro general
Interest are reuehed than huvo yet
been reached.

CORN BELT CROP REPORT.

Ciiicaoo, May 31. Reports received
by the Corn Belt from more than 001
correspondents along the lines of tho
Burlington road lu Iowa, Nebraska,
Missouri and Kansas show that corn
planting hus been practically finished
uud that the conditions of tho ground
are highly fuvoruble. Planting was
finished from one to threo weeks lator
than last year.
Heavy ruins have fallen along tho
northern counties of Kunui nml the.
. ground is lu excellent condition. Corn
mowing is now under wav. Tho worm
bright weather which has generally
prevailed In Missouri during tho past
two weeks has brought tho corn out
of the ground and cultivation is no
going on in many lonalltles.
Minor to lie llurred.
Washington. May 31. The policy ot
tho postofllco department us to the ap
pointment of minors in tho postolUco
has been definitely fixed, and they will
bo debarred from chief clerkships and
deputy postmastorbhlps, except in a
few of tho third class offices; where
circumstances urge their pemtllnr fit
ness. Even then they will not bo al
lowed to become uoilvo postmasters on
account of tho legal declaration that
contracts mado by minors ua-e voidable.
This effectually bars them from being
oven temporarily postmaster, so far ni
the assumption of tho responsibilities
ot that office is concerned.
SITUATION CRITICAL.
THE SIOUX JOIN THE CHEY
ENNES FOR WAR.
(,'heyeune Have Clour, Into the Hill, on
the Tongue Klver, Where the Po.ilhle
Fight Will Occur Mad Mood Between
Cowboy and Indiana.
Hklk.va, Mont, June 2. Special
from Miles City, tho nearest town In
Montana to the Choyonno Indian
troubles, say tho situation at th
agency continues critical. Families
who reside near the seat of the out.
break continue to flock to Miles City.
It is reported that Sioux Indians
from Dakota havo comu to tho agency,
and that runners havo been sont to in
vite moro Sioux to join them upon the
war trail.
Senator Carter will ask President
MoKlnley that Indian Agent Stouch
bo Instructed not to interfere with tho
sheriff's posse nnd that the military
authorities support them In caso tho
Cheyenncs resist the arrest of the In
dian Little Whirlwind, known also a?
David Stanley, and Philip Badger, o
graduate of Carlisle, who admits tho
murder of Sheep Herder Hoover.
Sheriff Brlggs ui.d Deputy Smith
Winters should nmve among tho
Cheyenncs Wednesday with wurranti
for The murderers, which they will at
tempt to serve.
Whlto Bull's band of warriors num
bering i35, who escaped from tho
agency Friday night, are in tho hilhi
upon the Tongue river near Ashland,
and this will bo the scene of the firs
bloodshed should there be auy. Tho
settlers are not as well armed as tho
Indians, though arms und ammunition
are being forwarded as rapidly as pos
sible. The Cheyenncs are well known for
their hatred of the white man, their
treachery and their inclination to bo
on the warpath. Most of the Chey
enncs who havo on the war paint uro
young bucks. Among them aro sev
eral old Indinus who were with Chiefs
Dull Knife and Black Horse, who made
that memorable raid through Kuusas
and Nebraska in 1878.
At the tlmo these Cheyenncs camo
to Montana the country was In posses
sion of white settlers, wjjo had taken
up lund and wero cnguged In farming
and stock raising, and they petitioned
the government not to allo.v these In
dians to remain here, knowing there
would be trouble It they did. Tho
government went so fnr as to stop
their rations, thinking this would in
duce them to leave, but the Chcycnue.s
oaslly procured their living by steal
ing from the settlers, killing off their
cattle, and have continued the cattle
killing ever sinco.
The present trouble at Lame Deer
agency is but an acute phase of the
armed neutrality in that section. Bud
blood exists all the tlmo botween the
cowboys and Indians. When cowboys
get drunk they kill an Indian and the
red men reciprocate. Indians often
kill range cattle Tor the hides or for
food, and when they are discovered by
a lone herder they kill him to destroy
evidence against themselves. The re
sult is that they distrust each other,
and bushwhacking is the rule.
Lame Deer agency, tho Cheyenncs'
headquarters, Is sixty miles from the
nearest ruilroad point. Tho trouble Is
not ot recent origin, but dutes baek
almost to tho time tho Cheyenncs were
located lu Montana.

JOHN SEARLES GOES FREE.
.lodge Orders a Verdict of Acquittal Th
UuelthM Private.
WAsmxoTo.f, Juno 3. In the case of
John E. Searlcs, the sugar trust wit
ness, Judtre Bradley ordered tho jury
to bring in a verdict of acquittal this
morning, holding that tho question
asked tho witness by the Senate com
mittee wero not pertinent, nnd, if so,
wero not within tho jurisdiction of the
committee.
The judgo pointed out that Mr.
Searlcs had testified specifically that
no money had been contributed by tho
Sugar trust to tho national campaign
or for the purpose of Influencing leg
islation or tho election of United
States sonators. Certainly, tho judgo
said, a simple Investigation as
to whether tho Sugar trust
had contributed to a campaign
fund would be an unwarranted
search Into tho private affairs of the
company and plainly beyond tho power
of the Senate. Tho Senate committee
hnd reported that no testimony had
been produced to show that tho Sugar
trust had made any contributions to
any national campaign fund for the
purposo of affecting legislation. If
mono had gone for tho purpose
of electing members of state legis
latures, who In tlmo would elect
a United States Senator, it was
beyond tho power of tho United
States Senate to go behind the elec
tion ot legislative members. If this
wero truo as to statu matters how
much moro truo was it of local elec
tions. It would bo the wildest con
jecture to assumo that tho raonoy so
contributed In nny way had gone to
make up tho sugar schedule.
It appeared from tho report of tho
committee that they wero not In the
possession of any fucts upon which
they could base a most remote hope of
showing an ultimate connection be
tween tho Sugar trust's contributions
and the sugar schedule. Under these
circumstances It must be held that tho
questions asked were not pertinent
and wero not construed to be perti
nent Judgo Bradley, therefore, sustained
tho motion of the defense nnd ordered
the jury to return a verdict of ac
quittal. Tho jury accordingly ren
dered a verdict of not guilty aud Mr.
Searlcs was froe.
The cases of E. J. Edwards and John
S. Shrlver, tho nowspaper correspond
