COPPER BOILER STOLEN.
While patroling his beat yesterday Officer
Nye discovered a broken window in the va
cant house at 35 Benefit street owned BY the

that tho window had been pushed up as II
some one had entered. Continuing his inves'
tigation he found tracks Of man in the
kitchen and noticed copper boiler missing.
A conference with Christopher browne, agent
for the property confirmed the suspicion that
the boiler had been stolen. There is no clew
to the thief. and 1t is probable the job was
done during the previous night.

NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS

WASHINGTON, Dec eS.-NegotiationS
are progressing in the matter OF the pay
ment of Cuban troops, SO that. on laying
down their arms. they may be enabled to
enter upon civil pursuits and earn their
living. Probably no further appropriation
by congress Will be necessary to enable
the president to carry out the plan. IL
it should be decided. as it probably Will
be, to advance money, charging it agaIns.
the revenue of Cuba, to pay the Cubans
part of the money due them for their serv-
ice in the Cuban army. This debt is not an
obligation resting upon the United States,
but is one for which the Cuban govern
ment will be obligated on its establishment
on an independent basis. Pending tho
establishment OF permanent government.
there is no authority responsible for the
payment Of these soldiers. and unless this
government advances the money as a loan
they will have to go for an indefinite period
without pay for services already rendered
in the war for independence The special
deficiency appropriation bill carries an item
of S3,0I0.0I0 as an emergency fund which
the government may use for any purpose.
and the idea is to advance the money for
the payment of the Cuban soldiers out OF
this fund. 1t Is understood. however. that
the president has not yet consented to this
arrangement
