A Li,Nuow merchant, sojourning for a
brie( period la New York city, on Tues
day last presented himself at the dess of
the paying teller of the Bank c,f Corn
meree, with a draft for 44,500. The
money wee paid to him, and he stepped
to a desk not (or from the door and began
to count it Each bank note as he exam•
fined It be laid on the desk • little to
left of the place where he was standing.
He had thus disposed of $4,200. wben
slime one tapped him on the right •boul
der. He turned, and beheld a well
dressed and gentlemanly looking persun
age, who politely Informed him that be
had dropped • bank note, pointing to
something on the door, and then passed
on. The merchant it,oped and picked
up what he found to be a fifty cent stamp.
He was about to proceed In counting his
money, when he was struck aghast at the
discovery that the Lads he had laid at his
left hand side h•d disappeared. In a
moment the truth burst upon him. He
turned, but the stranger had disappeared.
He went to the door, but It was too late
to catch the culprit Nothing remained
for him but to report the case to the
Police, which he proceeded to do. De
tectives have had the case in hand, but
there is little hope tbst the daring and
adroit rub' or will be caught.
The apaulsb Gunboats.
W ARFTTNOTON, Nov. Vl.—The import
ance and effect of the action in regard to
the Spanish gunboats is greatly exagger
ated. There is no more reason for be-
'letting our relations with Spain to be In
danger now, than there was a month ago,
and the only new action ordered to be
taken is +imply a transfer of their custody
Iron, the naval to the civil authorities,
thereto be proceeded against according
to law. The vessels have been practi
cally In the custody of our authorities
ever since the first complaint was lodged
against them, Admiral Godon having
been instructed to keep an armed sur
veillance over them, and the builders hay-
Ing been notified that they must not be
allowed to leave. There has been no
new formal demand for their release
by the Spanish Minister, and there has
been no formal refusal by our Govern
ment. Senor Roberts has several timt e
discussed the question with Secretary
Fish, but the real reason why the vessel.
have been libeled is the fact that a number
of them are ready to go to sea, and they
can only he legally held under the Neu
reality am_ It it can be proved that they
are dnioned to be used against Peru they
will he permanently held, but It Is ridicu
lous to say, as one of your contempora
nes doev, that the President and Cabinet
are a unit in faVor of holding them xt all
hazards, The thing on which they are a
unit is that they cannot be held except In
accordance with :aw; hence the pro.--
Now the - tf
tors .ne matter of their final m
imic is an interesting subject. It Is
only a little more than a year ago, by
s mutual and satisfactory under
standing between the representatives of
Peru and Spain, to wit: Senor Garcia and
Senor Goal, that the Peruvian lionclads
were permitted to nail mum New Orleans
(or the ports of Peru. The situation hen
not changed. It is now, as it was then,
a condition of "dormant war," as 31r.. ,
Seward termed it, and there Is no reason
apparently why a similar arrangement
cannot be made now between Colonel
Freyre and Si nor Roberta. I happen to
know. In fact, that such a suggestion has
been made to the parties, and it will not
be surprising if It is acted upon. The
question of what the effect upon Cuba
will bo cannot enter into the matter. If
Peru waives her complaint, or hills to
make It good, the gunboats will go to sea
under the Spanish flag, despite Cuban
lanientatkina,
