With the exception OF a few OF the
bonds offered for sale some time ago
none OF the securities have been re-
covered. 1t was believed that they had

That the securities are still IN EXIST

negotiations were opened between men
said to represent the burglars and Pres

The burglars have made demand for
$4,000. and no questions to be asked.
with the understanding that the securi-
ties are TO he handed over In good shape.
and that Immediately upon their delivery
the money shall be paid In cash.
President Bird. who, at the time of the

$50. 900 had been asked for the return Of
the bonds, and although the bank off,

a Havana, May 31.-In q leading article
n Diario La Marina makes scathinE
indirect attack upon Commissioner Cal
houn by criticising articles which have
appeared in a washington newspaper
over the signature of Mr.. Pepper. who
in the guise Of an intimate friend OF
President Mckinley and Mr.. Calhoun.
accompanied the latter to Cuba.
FL Diario maintains that many Incl
dents wholly private have been divulged
In Mr.. Peppers letter. thus tending to
compromise Mr.. Calhoun. The paper
also resents Mr.. Peppers unfriendly at
titude toward Spain In his reports on
the Cuban situation. expressing disgust
that while he blames Spain for the ma
tural result Of the war. he has no word
of .censure for the Cuban insurgents,
whose torches are destroying the wealth
of the island.
In closing it's articles, Ell Diario calls
attention to the fact that two New York
newspapers, whose Cuban reports are
scarcely favorable to Spain. maintain
bureaus in Havana under the same roof
with the United States consul general,
intimating, without much delicacy, that
the correspondents of these newspapers
are virtually under the wing Of General
Fitzhugh Lee. and draw the bulk of their
inspiration from him.

WHEN GRANT VISITED JAPAN.

Most Important Pageant Of His Tour Was
In the Flowery Kingdom.
'There was no pageant in General
Grants journey round the world more i'm
posing than the reception given by the
mikado at Japan's capital" writes John
Russell Young in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. 1.-The United States steamer Rich
mond, bearing General Grant and his
party steamed into Yokohama, the har-
Dor of Tokyo, escorted by the Ashuelot and
q japanese man n-ofwar on July 8, 1879.
There was assembled feet of warships of
other powers. At noon the admiral's
barge, flying General Grants flag as ex-
president and conveying the general and
wife, Prince Dati, Minister Bingham and
Minister Yoshida, slowly pushed for the
shore, and on the instant every naval ves-
sci manned yards and fired the American
national salute. The day was as beautiful
as days Of which we dream-a blue, cloud
less sky, soothing, tapping sea. The sud-
den transformation from this sleepy, lazy,
silent summer day into the turbulence and
changer of war; the roar of cannon, the
music-eyery band playing an American
air-the manned yards, the officers on
deck in full dress and saluting the barge
as 1t passed, the cheers Of the multitude
thronging the shore, the fantastic day fire.
works, the cannon smoke banking into
clouds, the barge moving with slow, steady
stroke, all formed brilliant and extraor-
dinary scene.
AS the admiralty steps were approached
there in waiting stood the imperial princes,
the ministers and the high officials Of the
realm, In the splendor Of their rank and
station. AS the general stepped on shore
the japanese guns thundered their greet
ing, the bands played The Star Spangled
Banner and Mr.. Iwakura, the venerable
prime minister, advanced, and taking the
generals hand in the name of the emperor
welcomed him to Japan. Reaching Tokyo
after an hour in the train, the city au-
thoritics met us with an address, and the
mikado's state carriage, through q contin-
uous, double line Of infantry standing at
present, conveyed the general to the i'm
perial palace Of Enriokwan."
