this city. Information was received from Consul.
General Helm, Of Havana, OF the robbery Of the
jewelry store of Simon Bnlag, in that city, Of
watches and chains valued at fifteen thousand dollars
The robbery was committed on Christmas Eve, oath
December. Information reached Mr.. Adams, the
Chief of Police Of this CITY, on the LIST January The
Chief started his special officers, lizard and Farrell on
the track Of the robbers After great trouble they got
on the trail, and finally secured the men, Sery and
Louis Duclos. After considerable difficulty and per-
suasion, Sery who was the clerk Of Bullag acknow-
lodged the robbery and gave statement to the Chief
in writing Of all the incidents connected with it; all
Of which was afterward corroborated by Duclos.
