The Bank of England Robbery.

LONDON, Aug. 13.--In spite of the
repeated statements to the contrary
made by the governor and other Off
cials of the bank of England it is the
opinion of the police that the recent
daring robbery at the bank was the
work of American experts and circulars
describing the circumstances of the
theft have accordingly been forwarded
to American authorities in the hope
that the job may bear the ear-marks of
some prominent American thief or
thives, and which may be recognized
by the police authorities of some city
on the other side of the water. The
robbery was the most audaciOus
and the most cleverly executed that
has occurred in England since the fam
Gus bank of England robbery by
an American gang some years ago. 1t
is admitted at Scotland Yard that there
is absolutely no trace of the thief and
the fact that gold was taken
and not notes rendered the obtaining
of clue doubly difficult. The circum-
stances of the robbery, as set forth in
the official circular now on its way to
America, are as follows: A clerk of
Coutts' bank went to the Bank of Eng
land with an order for SIS, 900, which
he was instructed to bring away with
him in three bags, each to contain
$1,000 in gold. There was a considerable
number of people in the bank when the
order was given. The gold was taken
out in the usual way and put into three
canvas bags and placed on the counte
in front of the messenger. At this mo-
ment the young mans attention was
diverted and he turned his head. The
movement was only momentarily, but
in this short space of time some one
had removed one of the bags and had
disappeared. The clerk first of
all thought that only two
bags had been handed him, SO
quickly had the other one been snatch
ed away, but he was soon convinced
that three. seconds before three bags
had been placed before him. No one
noticed any unusual movement in the
bank when questioned by the authori-
ties, nor was any suspicious looking
person observed. 1t is the police
theory that the messengers attention
WAS diverted by one of the gang while
q confederate took the bag from the
counter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The war is
over and will not be begun again, des-
pite the fact that the treaty of peace
may not be actually for mulated and
signed.for months. Spain has been
completely conquered, and her naval
power annihilated while that of the
United States is supreme. In the short
space of lib days one of the most re-
markable wars in history has been
fought.
Today the stars and Stripes float
over conquered territory in two hemi-
spheres Not an American ship has
been destroyed, while two of Spain 8
proud fleets have been wiped from the
seas. Our army lost in battle aud by
sickness scarcely 800 men, with some
14OO wounded. The enemy's losses are
four times as heavy as ours.
The war has cost us over half bill
lion dollars all told, but the returns in
the shape of acquired territory, pres
tige among the nations of the globe,
increased activity in business, and
above all, are awakening love for unit
ed country are more than compensa-
tion enough. This is the feeling in
Washington today.
The war began April 2i, 1898. 1t
closed August II, 1898. The duration
of hostilities was lib days.The expenses
of the actual war were S14l, 900, 600.

Agriculture and navigation were the two

The first step towards war vas the au-

OF navy there were about twenty
frigates and Shops of war, together with
80 contriTances called sunboats. which,

The achievements OF the American navy
in the war won for it the love Of the coun-
