to an indictment in the Court Of Oyer
and Terminer, sailed for Havana week
before the day appointed for his trial,

Expectation OF FOre eign Criminals
The Worlds Washington special says.
The attention Of the State Department
is now being called to the abuse con-
stantly persisted in on the part of the
petty German States of Transporting
their pardoned murderers and high
way robbers to this country. 1t is
urged that the Secretary should inter-
fere to promptly arrest this practice.
The San Juan Boundary Question.
A Cable dispatch from Berlin says: :
The Cabinet decree OF his Majesty
Emperor William in the San Juan
boundary case was officially communi-
Gated to the ambassadors OF her Ma
jesty Queen Victoria and the United
States OF America serving at the Court
of Germany, yesterday. The Royal
German decision says the American
claim of the territorial boundary is
most in accordance with the true inter-
pretation OF the treaty of 1916, and that
the boundary line should run through
the canal or channel de Haro.
A Herald Washington special says
that the exultation in administra-
ton circles over the award Of the EN-
peror William in the San Juan case
continues. The military Importance Of
San Juan to the United States has no.
been over stated. This accounts for the
tenacity with which both parties clung
to their alleged rights, even to the verge
OF war. As the decree of Imperial ar
bitration carries our title back to the
treaty of 1916, it follows that the Hud-
son Bay Company territory, which the
British subjects squatted on without
legal rights, is liable by law to the Uni
ted States for trespass.
That Loan OF the Bank or Fraace.
A cable dispatch from London says
that the Bank OF England did not pro-
pose to borrow the sum of four million
pounds sterling from the Bank Of France,
as reported; on the contrary, Thiers en-.
deavored to induce the Bank Of Eng
land to borrow that sum from French
institutions, but the proposition was de-
clined. The Directors of the Bank OF
England answered the communication
of the French President by stating that
if Theirs wished to deposit four million
pounds sterling in the Bank OF England
and draw against it afterwards, they
would accept the deposit. Theirs OBJ
iect was to use the fact of money de-
post in London politically in the re-
public, 80 as to be enabled to boast, as
chief OF the executive, that his govern
ment had completely restored the ma
terial prosperity of France.
