INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 31--At noon to-

der department of the pOstoffice and
asked K. FL. Johnson, the chief clerk, to
step to the door,as lame man wanted to
see him. johnson went out, and when
he came back the stranger had vanished
with $4,000 or more, which was in a
drawer. There is no clue as to who he
was. At alste hour tonight the adrolt
thief has not been apprehended, and it
is thought the police are all at sea-. AL
though the officers were advised OF the
robbery within few minutes after
it occurred, it was 3 o'clock be-

ate who sat in the buggy had returned
the rig to the livery stable at l O'Clock
o, M. stating as he had paid for il that
he would want it again tomorrow, then
leisurely walked away. exhibiting no
signs of lameness. A peculiar incident
in connection with the robbery is the
fact that one of MI. .Johnson's assistants
returned from dinner and saw the thief
coolly picking up the money. The clerk
was in the rear and witnessed the theft
through the glass partition. He says he
supposed the man was a special agent
of the postoffice department and had a
right to take the money, so he waited
outside until the especial agent" fin
ished his business. In the lobby 'front.'
ing the money order department. were
half dozen men engaged in writing out
orders and registering letters; the theft
was plainly visible to all of them, but so
cool was the thief they supposed he was
an emplOye, and were astOniShed when
they learned robbery had been COM

act amount stolen is $2.46S. Only an
hour before the robbery MIR. Jones, the
postmaster's son, had cleared the desk
of some $4,000 and deposited it in the
bank.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 31.-The

nation as to the condition of affairs in
that island, but making no mention of
the arrival of the American vessels Ga
lena and Vantic. Among the deS-
patches is a copy of decree issued on
the 10th inst. by the Legitime govern
ment closing all of the Northern ports,
st. Marc, Gonaives, Port De PaiX and
Cape Haytian to foreign commerce pro-
visionally. The rights of changing
ports granted to GranZ Saline, the Mole
and Fort Liberty are withdrawn. Men
ton is made in the dispatches of mys-
terious crew that arrived at Port au
Prince on the steamship .Arran, which
seemed to be evidence of plot to carry
the "Haytian Republic" out of port
under cover of night, but it was frus-
trated by the vigorous action of the au-
thorities.
Secretary Whitney to-day received
dispatches from Admiral Luce confirm
ing the report of the surrender of the
Haytien Republic at the demand of the
United States by Gen. Legitime, the
newly elected president OF Hayti. The

said this evening that it was not true,
as stated by some of those on board the

public had been given up on condition
that the case should be arbitrated by
