H. NJ. Colbach, of Gold HUI, N. NJ,

Colbach, was Satisfied that his son
knew more about the robbery than he
had been willing to tell, set to work to
unravel the mystery, and recover the
money.
Aided by the attorneys he prevailed
upon his son, young COlbach, to reveal
where the money was hid, and on Tues

CUBAN LIBERTY COINS.
Silver Money CT the Embroyo Republic
Now in Circulation.


The first coins authorized by the Gu
ban government have been issued.
Ten thousand of them are now ready
for d strl button, and there is a contract
for the coinage OF So, 600, 900 as fast as
they are needed. They will likely
sooa be called for, as orders for lots
of three, four and five thousand have
been fled. They will be sought for as
souvenirs, and collectors and dealers
10 coins are ord riog with the expe ia
ton that they will be qnite valuable.
The coin is u silver piece 90J fine,
weis hing 34S grains, or exactly the
same as fOur-shiliing English piece
quoted in this market al 50 cents It
is authorized by the Cuban junta
which has authority from the Cubln
government to issue money and cred is
10 raise funds for the prosecution of
the war, and this is one Of the means.
The scheme of the coins was devised
by Financial Commissioner Jose de
Zayas of the Cuban delegation in this
city, and the design is the work of the
Italian SCULPTOR, Philip Martigny.
On the diverse OF the coin is the
head of the Goddess of Liberty, sur
rounded by the N otto: ''Patriay Lii
berty" Country and liberty, and the
word "Souvenir.'
The model for this head is Miss Leo
ciety lady of this city, who always
takes leading part in all entertain
mems for the benefit of the Cuban
cause.
The reverse of the coin bears. the
Cuba seal. with the words: "Repub-
lican de Cuba" (Rspublic OF Cuba, and
six stars, representing the six Cuban
states. These states are not we'll un-
derstood, even by Cubans, who often
confouud them with the six Spanish
provinces, but they are Oriente, Cana
guey, Las Villas, Matanzas, Havana
and Occidente.
The coins are being manu- tactured in
New York city. The die machine,
made esp acially for this purpose, wei CHS
$500 pounds, and has capacity of $500
coins each hour. AS the coins are
struck they are turned over to the spe-
cial bureau, under the direction of
Commiss ooer Jose de Zayas, at No. 56
New street, New York, from where
they will be distri buted, in the order
OF the filing of the applications for
them.
Each coin will be sod for one dollar
in United States money, and the
money received will go directly into
the fund for carrying on the revOlu-
ton.
The authority and order for these
souvenir coins provides for their re-
d. mption at one dollar each in United
States silver money, as soon as Cuban
indepe1 dence is established.

OUR FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Don Kidzie Figures Our City Treasury
$1,000 Better off thereby.

1t will be remembered that few
weeks ago the Rio Grande got on q
rampage ard went out of its banks.
Quite number OF Mexican jacals at
Ell Paso were washed down stream,
but the Mexicaps We're all able to save
tt eirfives, their lamps and their dogs.
A great cry went up all over the land
about the starving poor in Ell Paso.
An appeal vas sent to congress, and
another to the Texas legislature, bo' h
of which were then in session. Congress
made an appropriation of $40, 600 to
feed the poor, and an army officer
was sent there to attend to the wants
of the distressed ard sea that the
money was properly applied. He
bought some provisions and began is
suing them to the poor, but soon found
that the poor were all right, and able
to take care of themselves. Whereupon
the officer ceased feeding the distress
ed, clos his Office and returned to
Washington with most of the money.
Some of Ell Paso papers set upa great
cry at this, claiming that the poor
were being robbed of their rights. The
state of Texas made an appropriation of
50 900 TO relieve these same starving
poor. Instead of sending an officer to
FL Paso to distribute the aims it sent a
check for the 1000 to the county
judge, and the mayor of Ell Paso, to be
distributed. These worthy officers
received the money but no free grub
was to be Obtained, and recently many
inquiries we're made as to the distri bu-
ton of the money. Last week the mayor
made a report of his stewardship. He
said that S236.10 of the money had been
used to build a levee across G. new
channel the river had cut during the
high water: that $500 had been paid to
the county treasurer to replace money
he had paid out. and the balance, So
943 80, had been turned over to the
city treasurer to replace money he
had paid out. This is the neatest little
bunco game ever played on state
legislature. 1t is probable that the
next .times the state of Texas makes an
Appropriation to relieve the starving
poor it will adopt the methods pursued
by congress and send reliable officer
along TO disburse the money. Ii it
had done so in this case it would be
several thousand dollars to the
good.-Lordsburg Liberal.
