An astounding and surprising story is told
by a N. Y. World correspondent concerning
the Port Jervis National Bank. The officers
of the institutions, which was robbed few
weeks since, are represented rs having nego-
tiated with the thieves for the return of S23,-
600 of the stolen bonds upon the payment of
certain percentage. 1t is alleged that the
President of the bank, after using every eff
fort to secure the burglars, received u letter
from prominent attorney in New York
stating that the town bonds could be nego-
tiated for and procured by means of the lat
ter's efforts and in response to this information
the President visited the LAWYER, stating to
him that he had come not only prepared to
negotiate for the town bonds, but for all the
securities that had been stolen This infor-
nation resulted in 4 proposition from the
thieves to return the town and Government
bonds for twenty per cent. of their value
Infused with the hope of procuring the stolen
treasure, it is said the bank officers finally
concluded to accede; ascend Interview was
held, and to their surprise the burglars said
'lf you want those bonds you can have them
for twenty-five per cent. on the town bonds
and fifty per cent on the Government bonds =
Having discovered that they had been trap
ped by the heather, the officers determined
to make the best of the circumstances and
accordingly agreed to accept the second
proposition, hoping, it is said to eventually
secure them without payment Of the money.
At Il subsequent interview the percentage
agreed upon is alleged to have been paid BY
the officers of the institution, and the SO, 900
WORTH of bonds given up. 1.-The transaction"
says the correspondent, ''was intended to be
kept a profound secret; few days have
elapsed, however, and the matteris out, and
Port Jervis is as gossipy rs ever" The
name of the lawyer is not known. but the
correspondent AYERS that the President Of the
bank can inform all inquirers.

| Further details confirm the important Gu
ban victory won by Jordan over Pueblo on
| the lst OF january. 1t appears that after the
retreat OF Pueblo the victorious Cubans pur-
sued and harassed the flying columns of the
enemy until the latter reached Arroyo Hondo
where Pueblo intrenched himself and stood q
siege Of fifteen days, suffering great priva-
tons. The approach of the Spanish column
under Gen, Goyeneche induced the Cubans
to raise the siege, and Pueblo escaped with
the remnants of his army to the small seaport
OF Baga, where Spanish vessels removed it to

teers in Nuevitas, and is captive in THEN
hands. During the march and fighting from
Arroyo Hondo to Baga, Gen. Puello's horse
was killed under him, and he himself received
a slight flesh wound. He lost all OF his artill-
cry on the way, and whatever semblance of

wounded officers left behind, and those kill

astrous termination of this first ssOn to

against him have already been made.

1T seems that one Of the hunting parties
mad in its search been at the top of the noun
tam IN overlooking the very spot where the
children We're found, but for some reason had
not descended to search at the base. When
found the youngest boy, who was about 5
years old, was on his face, covered over with
the eldest brothers coat and a pile of leaves
scraped together. Next and parallel to him
lay the second, seven years old, his head at
the younger ones feet and ten feet away. al
most denuded of his clothing (Which it is SUP
posed in the delirum which preceded his
death ne tore from him), lay the elder broth
er, the lower part Of his face, one cheek and
and both his hands eaten away. Near the
bodies was the pail they had taken to gather
nuts in The body Of the middle one was
not dlsllgured but that Of the younger was
almost entirely gone between the chest and
thighs, probably prey to the weasels and
Wildcats. Words cannot truly picture the
unspeakable pity which this recital must call
up in the heart of every reader"
