not expected so soon, and when tho signals on

palace. Here he was received by the Marquis
de Ahumada, who has been acting in his stead
during his absence, and other authorities. There
was no great crowd present, and the scene was
vastly different from that which characterized
his return from the specification OF the prov
ince OF Pinar del Rio.
Instead OF riding through crowds OF cheering
admirers he walked from the watersido to tho
palace. whore he soon retired TO his apartments,
without having received any popular welcome.
This was due. perhaps. to his unexpected
arrival, which did not allow ot any official prep
~arations being made TO welcome him.
No reason is given for Gen. Weyler's return to
Havana. 1t is generally well known that his
campaign In MatsnSas ana santa Clara has
been an ignominious failure, and that while he
was asserting that he had compelled the insur-
gents to retreat eastward TO Puerto Principe,
they had, In fact, lodged past his columns and
pursued their WAY westward.

Finds $4,000 IN the Safe.

Atlanta Ga, June 2-Ten days
ago P. Crocker was found dead
in his front yard with bullet hole
iu his temple, aud the case was pass
ed over as one of suicids. The ad
ministrator found in the c.llar of
his houss an iron safe, the locks of
which were rusty with age. Inside
was $4,000 in geld, besides valua'
BILE papers. Then the widow &C.
knowledged that she knew of the
safe, but had been sworn by her hus-
band to secrecy even from her child
rem. Even then she did not dream
Of such an amount of money being
in it. The theory of death now is
murder at hands of the burglars.
