A Dishonest Cuban Makes on with $500.
On Saturday evening Mr.. J. H. Pigeon, residing
at No. 474 Vanderbilt avenue, Brooklyn, called at
Police Headquarters, corner Of Court and LIVING
ston Streets and stated that he had been robbed Of
$500 In currency. He suspected that the rogue
was young Cuban, student, named Louis Zan-
zes whose parents are highly respectable residents
OF Havana. Louis, who was decidedly last, had
occupied the same room rs the complainant in
Brooklyn. He was infatuated with the mimic
stage, and expended all his available funds with
considerable ease. He owed q bill for board and
absented himself for several days. On saturday
morning he called upon his landlady and re-
quesied permission to remove his trunks. This was
denied, and he then asked to be allowed to change
his shirt, which was granted. While Louis was
perfecting his toilet In Mr.. Pigeons room, a cab
upon the box OF which was seated man In livery,
drove up In front Of the door ana inquired for
s'senor kanzes.r The festive youth responded 10
tho summons, and. getting into the vehicle, was
driven on but not before he had paid $40 Tor his
board. In the evening Mr.. Pigeon returned, and
was PANIED to ind that $500 had been distracted
from his trunk. Detective Williams was given the

charged from the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
Late on Saturday afternoon an order was pro-
mulgated in the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, dismiss
ing at least seventy-hve per cent OF the men en-
ployed therein. All knowledge Of the order was
kept from the hands until the latest moment
that IL could be put into execution. At
noon hints were dropped that some step
OF this kind was in contemplation; but those
who seemed to have the '.nside track thought
they knew better, and that nothing OF the sort
would be attempted. In coming to this conclusion
usual hour lhalfpast four) Tor knocking on work
arrived, q large batch OF the men were informed
that their ..'heads had been taken on''-in other
words, that their further services had
been dispensed with. Out OF eighty hands
In the blacksmth's shop only twenty
have been retained; twenty painters have been
dismissed and only i've remain at work. Twenty
Dl0ckmakers are discharged, and six are now con-
sidered sufficient for all the business necessary to
be done in their department. In the iron, con-
struction and other shops the discharges have been
In the same proportion. Altogether about 1000
hands have been thrown out Of work. An iron.
clad ship has just been all but completed and the
workmen who have been employed upon her con-
struction are almost certain to be dispensed with

tion--A Humane Proposition-NavalI In
tclligcnce.
AS there is q great deal OF suffering in Brooklyn
general arrangement OF trade, representative OF
the HERALD visited the Navy Yard on Saturday, and,
in the course OF conversation with several promi-
nent ofncals, ascertained that the present strin-
gency had little or no effect In regard to the en-
ploymcnt OF persons in the various departments.
1t was understood. however, that several hundreds
would shortly be discharged, not on account Of the
prevailing embarrassments. but simply because Of
the absence OF work. In the steam engineering
department there are about 400 men employed.
This force has neither been increased nor diminished
ior some months, but it seems that from the con-
struction bureau and other orders have been is-
sued TO dispense with the services OF a large num-
Der OF people. Now that the cold weather Is
approaching the same opportunities for work tnas M
prevail in the summer time do not exist, since
short days and bad weather necessarily interfere
with the prosecution oil certain kinds OF labor. TO
terra s ~ srs
suggestions have been made. But among tue nu-
merous methods devised TO meet the emergency
none seems more prudent and humane than that
which tends 10 an equal distribution OF the funds
