the Restoration OF His Rights.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The case of ex-Con-
sui Waller OF Tamatave. Madagascar. is recev-
ing careful investigation at the hands of the
State Department. The Hon. John NJ. Langston,
Walters counsel was closeted with Assistant Sec

being conducted by Ambassador Eustis will re-
suit in the liberation of Mr.. Waller and the
restoration OF his rights
Mr.. Langston has Just received a letter from
Mr.. p. II. Bray; IN Paris, who WAS bnnished
out friends and without money. He found a
way to make his escape and ultimately reached
Paris. Mr.. Bray was charged with completely
in connection with the alleged unlawful acts of
Waller. and with having corresponded with the
Hova Government and written ior the press.
He says that the aim OF the French was to get
Waller and himself out of the country. for the
French knew that they were about TO go into
the interior and take possession of the rubber
territory that had been ceded them.
Mr.. Langston has received many letters from
Americans intereste ed in the rubber trade. and
all Of them are urging this Government to take
vigorous measures to protect these two Ameri-
cans in their rights. The United States Consul
at Tamatave has prepared n report on the Bray
case, but 1t is understood that 1t has not yet
reached the department..

He Tells About tho Robbery OF tho Family
Jewels in London Recently.
Sir Roderick Cameron and his daughter, Miss
Kitty Cameron, returned from Europe on
Wednesday without having recovered the box
Of money and jewels which stolen from
Miss Cameron in the Victoria Station. London,
a month ago. The despatch from London con-
ccrning the theft stated that Miss Cameron had
placed the box on the floor for moment. and
that when she looked for 1t the box was gone.
Concerning the theft Sir Roderick Cameron
said to a SUN reporter yesterday:
THE account OF the theft was not exactly cor
rect. The box was snntched from under the
arm OF Miss Cameron. The box doubtless was
passed through several hands before we had q
chance to attach suspicion to any one. We felt
the loss heavily, not because 1t was particularly
valuable, but because the jewels in 1t were heir
looms worn by Miss Cameron's mother and
them Oh the day of her wedding to Mr.. Perry
Tiffany In June. The box was not recovered,

Mr. Cameron was asked

though we might have suspected a person. that
person could not be examined without a warrant

PAYMA STER SMITHS SENTENCE.
Dismissed from the Naval Service Without
Recommendation for Clemency.

WASHINGTON. May 1s.-Mail from the Asiatc
squadron brings the official record Of the court
martial in the case Of Paymaster H. Il. smith OF
the cruiser Concord. who. it appears. has been
sentenced to dismissal from tho naval service.
AS stated in these dispatches some days ago. 1t
was known at the Navy Department that Smiths
case was serious, owing to the fact that Admiral
Carpenter had cabled for relief to be sent, and
Paymaster L. c. Kerr had been ordered from
San Francisco by earliest steamer to join the
Concord.
While the exact nature of the charges against
the officer have not been divulged 1t is presumed
that his unfortunate addiction to the liquor
ha bit is at the bottom of the affair. Several
years ago. while attached to the Essex at the
New York Navy Yard, Smith created quite
sensation by disappearing suddenly and COM
pletely to reappear as mystcriously week or
so later without any recollection of his where
abouts in the mean time About year ago he
was punished in Chinese waters on his present
duty for intoxicattOn, and it Is believed that
these earlier offences have led TO the niiiction Of
