New York Police officers to Be In
veStigated.

New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Evening
Post says there are likely TO be some
serious developments in the police de-
partment of this city, growing out Of
the recent raids on gambling houses.
These raids were ordered directly by
Supt. Byrnes, and it is now believed
the superintendent will make charges
of neglect of duty against the captains
and inspectors in whose districts the
gambling houses were tolerated; The
officers who are likely to be called to
account are Capts. Westervelt, Steven
son, Meadim, Dougherty and Brooks,
and Inspe ctors Williams, McAyer and
COnklin.

Gold Hunters Leaving San Juan
Gold Fields Dy Hundreds.

MANCos, Col, Jan. 1.-THE great

are following them as rapidDyaS their
means of transportation will permit.
All are loud in their denunciatiOn of
those who originated the story of rich
pacers, aud large rewards are offered
for any reliable clue to their Identified
ton. The situation would be ludicrous
were it not for the fact that these de-
luded men risked all they owned in the
venture, and now find themselves pen
