PASSING MUTILATED COINS.
Bill Providing a Penalty for This Of
fcnse FnvOrably Reported

CnlrieS W. Stone. from the House Com
mi'JeH OF Coinage, Weights and Measures,
has reported favorably the bill To amcn,! the
laws So as to punish the utterance and
circUi%tiOn OF mutilated coins.
1t is a rather remarkable fact that none
OF the laws for the protection OF United
states moneys provides any penalties for
the passage Of coins after they have been
mutilated.
IN his report Mr.. Stone says:
Section 5459 OF the Revised Statutes
provides for the punishment of the offense
of fraudulently mutlating or tightening
the gold or silver coins OF The United
States, but by some oversight or for some
other unaccOuntable reason no provision is
made for the punishment of The kno wingIy
and fraUdulently utterng or passing or
attempting TO utter or pass such mutiiated
or lightened coins. To supply this defect
m the existing law is the primary purpose
of thes present bill, but in reStating
the section it has been deemed adj
visable to make it correspond in
phraSeoiogy, as near as may be, with the
other sections relating TO counterfeiting
coin Of the United States. and it has also
been deemed advisable to make the maxi
mum limit OF Imprisonment imposed as
punishment correspond more nearly with
the ma Ximum punishment provided by law
for other species OF counterfcitng the ma
tional coin and uttering such counterfeited
coin. The defect in the existing law and
the necessity for the proposed legislation
are pointed out by the chief of the secret
service bureau of the Treasury Department
in his annual report for S94.''

BERMUDA Is FREE TO SAIL
Right to Detain the Alleged Fill
buster Is Abandoned.
Cargo Seized by the Government Has
Been Restored Other Officers
Have Been Arrested, However.

New York, March 3.-The United States
Government has abandoned all claim OF
right To detain the alleged filbustering
steamship Bermuda ard he lighter j s. T
Stra0ahan and their cargoeS, excepting in
the case of the explosives found upon the
latter which, ii is alleged. were packed
in boxes not marked as required by law.
Today United States District Attorney
MaCFarlane instructed Marshal Mccarthy
10 this effect, and the latter at once took
steps TO turn over the vessels ana other
property TO the Cubans.
The $4,000 in silver taken from the Ber-
muda was taken on board that vessel
and returned to the place from which il
had been taken, and charts. Instruments
and other articles were also put where
they We're found, the purpose being TO re
store the vessel and contents TO their exact
condition at the time o he seizure.
As far as the government was concerned,
the RermUda was practically free early
this afternoon, but there vet remained
uuon her the libel obtained by the J y.
Robins Company, drydCCk and Outfitting
firm, for eleven hundred and some odd
dollars. The suit upon which this was oh
tanned was settled shortly after 4 O'Clock
this afternoon ard the Bermuda is now
free from all detention.
Lawyer E. R.-OlCott who represents Gen.
Garcia and his associates, who are await
ing examination on q charge OF having
violated the neutrality laws, said toGay
that the seizure Of the explosives upon the
j. S. T. Stranahan would be contested
upon the claim that the boxes had been
properly marked. The case viii come up
in the United states court March II.
Late this afternoon Marshal McCarry and
deputies went on board the Bermuda and
arrested Thomas Nelson, chief engineer;
James HOwden, second engineer; and c.
c. Taylor chief steward, to be held as
witnesses. They were brought before
Judge Brown, OF the United states Dis
trict court, who fixed the bail in each
case at $500, and pending the filing OF
bonds the men were detained il the
marshaTs office.
After waiting until O'Clock for bail
bonds for the three men detained as
witnesses, the marshal allowed them TO
go in the custody OF their counsel, Z. i.
Olcott who promised to produce them to-
morrow morning.
