CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-The Journal
states that Cuban bonds to the extent of
over SIS, 900 900 have been secretly issued
and disposed of in the United States and
elsewhere during the past twelve
months.
The greatest precautions have been ex-
ercised by the junta in the handling Of
the securities for the reason that until
very recently it has been a question
whether the issuing of bonds of the re-
public of Cuba was a violation OF the
international law. The conclusion hav-
ing been arrived at that the course pur-
sued is lawful and cannot be interfered
made public and the securities will be
placed on open sale in all of the principal
cities of the United States and Europe
These bonds are payable in gold ten
years after the evacuation of the island
by the Spanish forces. The price has
been mostly sentimental one. Some of
the bonds have sold as high as 81. The
asking price is So Besides the bonds, q
large number of concessions have been
sold. These concessions consist of exclu-
sive privileges for importing certain
lines of merchandise. deductions in
duties, land grantsand other privileges
of various kinds.
All these concessions as well as the
bonds depend for their value upon the
independence of Cuba. The sale of
bonds. 1t Is claimed. bears out the jun
ta's constant asserr~ that no overtures
looking toward peace. except on basis
OF absolute independence of the island

factures of iron and steel. Nails and
cutlery We're the divisions of the schei-

one-fourth of the Mckinley rates, and

MORE CHARGES OF MURDER
Preferred Against the Alleged Cutthroat
From Australia
The New Charges May Renier Buffers Extra
dition 1ore Certain-It VIII Ger
tai,Iy Cause Long Delay

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-Another
complaint was flied today against But
Ter, alias Ashe, the alleged AustI. IN
cutthroat, by the British consul general,
j. W. Warburton. formally charging
him with the murder of Arthur Preston
in Australia, praying for a warrant for
Buffers arrest and decree of extradi-
tion after examination. The new COM
piaint was taken out as an extreme pre-
caution against the result of the failure
to make out a case in the pre- ent extra
ditlon proceedings before United States
Commissioner Heacock. It is supposed
that even If the accusation that Butler
murdered Weller shouG fall through
the second charge may be capable Of
| stronger proofl The coEsu ulgeneral,
| however, has no reasonable doubt that
he can prove the pending charges.
The examination on the second accu-
sation will begin when the per ding eX
animation is concluded. ard even If the
decision of the commissioner goes
against Butler It will be necessary to
hold the other examination. This will
delay Buffers extradition.
Attorney Pidwell one of Buffers coun-
sci. has filed suit in replsvin in the
justices court to recover possession of
| Buffers effect. PidNeu claimz to be
the owner under a bill of sale from his
client. The United States marshal is
sued for the personal property. The
| police charge that by this action Pidwell
| lays himself open to the accusation of
! being a purchaser Of stolen goods, many
of Buffers effects being supposed to be
the property of murdered Captain Lee
| Weller.
The extradition proceedings in con-
nection with the Weller murder were
resumed this afternoon. The evidence
of the British government was not con-
! cluded, however and the Indications are
| that no decision will be reached before
next week. The documents upon which
| Butler was arrested We're examined to
show that all legal requirements had
| been compiled with. The original of
| the advertisement which drew Weller to
| his death was also introduced and the
| prosecution charged that the handwrit-
! ing was that Of the prisoner.
! AN OLD OFFENDER.
PERTH, West Australia, Feb. 1O.-The
| Identification by the San Francisco Of
| ficials of Butler as Richard Ashe has at
.tracted considerable ats ntion through
| out Australia. 1t has been ascertained
| here that Richard Ashe was sentenced
to a term Of imprisonment between 1893
| and 1896 He went to Coolgardie in
January. 1896, remaining until August
| of the same year. An assayer'S certifi-
! cate belonging to Frank Norwood was
stolen at that time. The police at the
| convict prison at Fcsmartle identify
! Buffers photograph and claim that he
