ing.
1t is reported that one of the Post
Office clerks had five hundred dollars
in one of the tills in the office which
was not taken 1t is evident that the
burglar or burglars were either in
hurry or we're working without light,
from the fact that a quantity of two
and-a-halfdollars gold pieces had been
thrown upon the floor from one of the
safes, with a lot of ten-cent pieces !;
doubtless the gold was supposed to be
coins of lower denomination.
Postmaster Whitney re-
turned to town from Hawaii by the
steamer Kinau yesterday morning,
efter the robbery was committed, and
was Immediately notified that the Post
Office had been burglarized. The Post
master General at once went to the
Post Office and made an examination of
the premises and the safes from which
the money had been extracted, after
which everything was put into the
hands of Marshal Soper and Deputy
Marshal Dayton for thorough investi-
cation.
The robbery was first discovered
by Assistant Postmaster Peterson
early Sunday morning, and was imme-
diately reported to the Police Station.

The Post Office Robbed.

During last Saturday night, or early
Sunday morning, the Honolulu Post
Office was broken into and robbed of
coin and bills to the amount of over
three thousand dollars. An entrance
into the building was effected through
a door opening into the back yard.
The door was fastened upon the in
side by slip bolt, which was burst off
by a pressure from the outside. Both
safes belonging to the Post Office De-
partment were opened; one safe stood
in the bookkeeper's office, near the
wall, at a point where the partition
formerly ran which cut off the Post
master Generals office the other safe
had lately been removed from the same
portion of the building and at the
time of the robbery stood in the
office of Assistant Postmaster Peterson.
One safe was locked by combination
lock of a late pattern; the other safe
was of an older pattern and was fastened
