from the Treasury Department..
Especial telegram to The Dispatch.I
WASHINGTON, June 3.-There Is intense
excitement here in consequence of the dis.
covery of theft of over forty.seven thou.
sand dollars in the Treasury. The robbery
was discovered yesterday afternoon, and the
Department officials used every effort to keep
1t quiet, but to-day it is known everywhere.
General Spinner, upon whom the loss must
fall if the money is not recovered, says there
is no doubt that the theft was committed By
one of his clerks. He also says that unless
the money is recovered he will 60 out of
office almost beggar. Suspicion rests upon
two clerks, but it would be unwise to pub
lish their names, Us no circumstances have
appeared to justify their arrest. The entire
force of the cash.room were searched by the
detectives without furnishing any clue to the
robbery.
The money belonged to the National Park
Bank of New York city, and was about be.
ing RENTED to them when the package con.
tanning the money was stolen. It was in
S-NSo~o6S W. hohOo sCut uStC
There were some hopes that the money had
been mislaid, but investigations to-day show
that it was undoubtedly stolen. An the clerks
in the cash-room are under the surveillance
of the detectives.

The Treasurer thinks it theft.
Later.-The ,000-irregularity in the
Treasury Department turns out 10 be rob-
berry. as was suspected. A full Investigation
shows beyond doubt that package con.
tanning over S47 900, addressed to the Park
Bank, New York, was yesterday afternoon
stolen from the Treasurer's office.
The package which was to have been sent
by express was missing when the clerks
closed up the days business. 1t was first
supposed TO have been mislaid, but a diligent
search failed to bring it to light. Some clue
has been obtained to the thief, but further
than this no PARTICULARS can be ascertained.
