police headquarters Yesterday and was
closeted with Inspector Holiinbereer. He

but they were not certain as TO this.
Mr.. Thomas stated that his sister dis
appeared about one month ago. She left
her home at Wilmington without reason.
and the opinion prevails among her friends
that her mind rs unbalanccd.
Last week. said the brother. he received
a letter from his sister. II was the first
news OF her which her anxious family
had received since she left Wilmington
This letter was dated at Washington and
contained the startling Information that
the writer had been adiudged insane and
FOR the insane.

The brother started for Washington soon
after the receipt OF this letter. He went
directly to st. Eizabeth's. but no patient
hearing the name OF Tho:nts. or answering
to the description OF the missing sister had
been recently received at the hospital.
This confused the brother. Yesterday, as
stated, be cal He'd on the Inspector of
police. That official promised To institute
"A search for the Girl. and asked to he
furnished with a photograph of her.
The brother left headquarters with the
understanding that he was to return this

OUR CUBAN POLICY.
The Administrations Diligence in Fight
ing the Fiilbusters.

ing the Filibusters.
WASHINGTON, Oct 2l.-It can be stated
upon good authority that there has been
no change in the declared policy of the
government with respect to Cuba, nor is
any contemplated. As Is well known, the
synpathics Of the administration as indi-
viduals in large measure Is with tho in
surgents, but If they gain their independ-
ence it will be without any intervention
other than amcable sn the part Of Mr.
Cleveland. From tho inception of tho
present difficulties in Cuba the adminis-
tratiOn has used all reasonable diligence
in preventing the fitting ont in this coun-
try of hostile expeditions against the
Spanish authority in Cuba, and this vigil
lance will be continued TO the end.
The government has taken this course
for the purpos, Of showing to the world
that International law is held sacred in
the United States, and also for the pur-
pose Of making it impossible for spain
successfully to prosecute any claims
against tho United States for damages
growing out of hlihustering expeditions,
us might be the case were the officials less
alert IN preventing such expeditions and
ID prosecuting Offenders
1t can be stated, also, that the sending
of the revenue cutter Window to sea with
sealed orders has no special Significance
ws,aa..9:Ess w.,a n.ynnd sssf purpose Of the treas.
GfE d5fSTt@S3T dfl2ials to keep secret
from Cuban agents lie movements of tho
revenue le2t Hitherto insurfont agents
in this chun;rv, through Cuban synpa-
thil11iss, have 7Is6EEo7 70 secure ~ ~ nece5'
sary nfofmat:on regarding any contem-
plated movement, even i'll advance of our
own officers, and as a result the purposes
of the government hHvo been defeated.
This has occurred so often shat the Of
lcials have dotornined to put n stop to it,
as far as possible, by issuing scaled orders
to the captains Of revenue cutters.
