NO CHANGE OF POSITION.

Washington, Oct. 2-The attention
of Attorney General Harmon was
called to dispatch from Madrid,
quoting Minister Dupuy de Lone, to
the effect that the United States had
decided to confiscate arms and am
munitiOn found upon vessels detain-
ed by the United States authorities
and which are supposed to be engag-
ed or about to engage in filibuster-
ing expeditions to Cuba. Attorney
General Harmon stated that there
had been 10 change at all in the po-
sition of She administration toward
the Cuban insurgents. Arms and
munitions of war alleged to be for
the use Of the insurgents had been
captured BY the United States and
the subject brought to the attention
of the judicial authorities by United
States officers. The decisions of the
courts in these cases were as bind
ing upon the government as those
under arrest. Acquittal of alleged
filibusterers in criminal proceedings
carried with it the surrender of pro-
perry seized. in some cases this
property had not been called for and
still remained in the custody of the
United States.

maliciously knocked off. The matter
therefore concerned the prefecture of the

pointed to decide which department
had to put the nose ON again. The COM
mittee inspected the statue i'll January,

made the lives of his subordinates so
many burdens to them with it, Some
how or other it got into print that but
for this jealous official there would be
hardly a statue in France and in Ma

decorated for special services. Somebody
else took up the report. Between Jan

into parliament On Feb. 20, 1896, the
house sat upon it, and MN. Jaures and
Carnaud got off some virulent attacks
upon the government for its want of
public spirit The next day the same
passerby who had reported absence of

discovered that the nose had not been re-
placed. He reported to the policeman on
