PosToN, Aug. 23.--ticorge W. Wander
bilt's cottage at Bar liarbor was robbed OF
$50 600 worth of jewelry and silver plate
at the time of the raid by burglars few
weeks ago. ON the night of the robbery
the Eastern Yach, Club was Mt anchor ut

grcss Among the vessels was u black
schooner Yacht which was apparently II
part of the squadron, as it obryed all the
squadron signals and conducted itself in
other wavs as q part of the fleet She was
at anchor when the sun went down, but
next morning she had departed--no one
knew where. Then it was learned that
Eanderbilt's summer residence had been
burgarized during the night.
When the occupants of the cottaS"
awoke in the morning it was found that .
great part of their silver had been taken
together with about $500 in grccnbarks
and. most valuable of all, seven breastplns.
Six of these were presents of members OF
the family to Mrs. Vanderbilt, Some
tracks were found leading to and from 81
rear window, through which an entrance
had evidently been effected. These track.
seemed to lead right down to the shore.
That the robbers had gone of by water
was the conclusion formed at once. and
when black schooner yacht was spoken Of
an inquiry was started. All the informa

she was a Yacht of schooner build, painted
black; that she was rather wide at tll,

OF course the opinion of NJ. Fessenden was

shall not undertake to pass upon the
comparative merits Of the opinions Of Mr..

the HARBOR OF PAGO-PAGO.
Great Britain's Right to Z coalins Station Not
Conceded bv Secretary Foster.

WAsHIscroN, Aug. 23.-The widely cir
culated reports representing the state de-
partment a. holding the opinion that the
English government has any sort of right
to establish coaling station at Pago Pago
harbor are entirely inaccurate. On the
contrary il is understood that Secretary
Foster has never made a statement that
could be properly construed as recognizing
in any way England's claims to harbor rights
at that point
AIn the treaty between the United States
and Samoa there is no express provision
prohibiting the joint occupancy of the har-
bor but the statement that there shall be
no interference in the rights granted To the
[ nited States is construed by the state de
partment officials to mean that, if the es
tabGshmcnt of coaling station by the Eng
lish government should be deemed to be
detrimental TO the interests of the United
States, this government would have the un-
questioned right to vigorously protest. and
that il would be its duty 10 do so.
This undoubtedly is the view held by
Secretary Foster. and although he will not
give official utterance to the statement that
should England attempt to establish Il coal
ing station the 'nited States would assert
=
what he will do.
The secretary does not wish to decide a
hvpothetical case, but there is good reason
for saving that he thinks that the establish
ment of coaling station at Pago-P Pago by
the English government would be decidedly
detrimental TO the interests of the United
States government and that he would there
fore resist the attempt TO the utmost.
The fact that the United States treaty was
negotiated long prior to that between Eng
land and Samoa gives the nited States the
whip hand il the argument with IA foreign
government.
The establishing of coaling station IN
the harbor by Great Britain might not IN
itself be inimical to American interests,
because there il plenty of well-informed
public men here. without regard to party,
that the treaty between the United States
and Samoa intended TO give the United
States absolute jurisdiction over the har-
Dor of Pago-Pago. and any attempt OF
Great Britain or any other Government to
set up subsequent right would be resisted
from the start.
Secretary Foster is undoubtedly of this
wav of thinking also, and in tins position he
has the support of the President. The policy
of the state department. however, is not apt
to be- Developed until England announces
her purpose to establish a coaling station IN
the harbor.

During a recent performance of Cap
tain Lapalisse'' at Valencia theater, AN
incident occurred which, for lifelike eff
feet, left nothing to be desired. During
the said play some of the actors minyle
with the spectators in order to cooper
ate from the body of the house. No
sooner had Miralles. the actor, taken his
seat in the stalls than daring pick
pocket robbed him of his gold watch.
MiraIles seized the man by his coat col
lar and called out in deep bass voice:
police! Help! Thieves!'
The audience, taking this little cpl
sode to be part of the performance,
roared with laughter: even the police
men joined in. without stirring hand or
foot.
This is no farce cried the actor in
tones of despair. The fellow has got
my watch.'
The voice sounded so natural that the
audience broke into loud applause at
'.such excellent fooling." Meanwhile
the thief managed to break away from
his captor and tliscreetly Withdrew from
the scene. There was general conster-
nation when the real facts Of the case
