agent in Yokohama. The CITY of Rio de
Janeiro, on which the fugitive sailed from
here January Goth, reached Yokohama yes
terday-hve days overdue. The report
that the japanese Government had refused
to arrest the fugitive is believed by the
local police to have been mistake. A dis
patch sent by Chief Crowley to Senator
Stanford, asking for information on this
point is yet unanswered.
The cablegram was turned over by Mr..
Moselev to the Chief of Police immedi-
ately. The local authorities are naturally
much pleased at the capture, though there
Is of course possibility of the fugitive yet
escaping through some loophole of inter
national negotiations.

Crowley wrote out and forwarded the fol-
lowing dispatches:
