The local representative of the Lor-

learned that another watch which the

One Of the best known Of the Pinker-
ton detectives has been i'm Duryea and
ncighboring towns and has got start
on at least one clue which may lead
to establishing the idenuty and possi-
bly, the arrest of the men guilty OF the
Corcoran murder. The Tribune has
heen unable to learn whether the de-
tective is at work on his own account
for a Pinkerton agency or for one of
the several organizations or officials
whose interest 1t is to detect the brutal
criminals. 1t is also unknown whether
he is now working through agents or
is himself actively engaged i'm the de-
tails of the case.
1t Is a peculiar coincidence that facts
recently developed indicate the quite
plausible theory that the men who rob-
bed the cigar and tobacco store of John
Rice at the corner of Lackawanna and
Washington avenues. this city, nearly
two weeks ago, a few nights preceding
the Duryea murder. may connect the
latter crime and the Scranton robbery
with one and the same gang of crooks.
After the cigar store was robbed, the
police at once reached the conclusion
that at least three and probably not
less than four men We're concerned in
the job. This view was held because
of the large quantity of goods taken
and because of the central location OF
the store right under the noses of two
of the best police patrolmen. which
must have made it necessary for two
of the gang to have watched out"
one on Lackawanna avenue and the
other on Washington avenue. To fol
low the case intelligently the following
paragraph from the Tribune of We'd
nesday should be read:

Washington Aug 6.-Inasmuch as II has been
directed by the Vatican TO place himself and his
clergy under the protection Of the American
commanders It may be stated that such pro-
lection will be afforded exactly the same
terms and conditions that will be extended 10
the clergymen OF all religious denominations
and TO all non com batants in Manila and the re-
mainder Of the Philippines. 1t Is knoTn That
the insurgents have particularly singled out the
Catholic clergy as the objects OF their ven
eeance without doubt inspired by the powerful
assistance afforded to the Spanish cause by the
priests and frlars in their efforts 10 repress the
rebellion in its earlier stages. However. so long
as the clergy refrain from taking up arms ID
the SPANISH cause the American Commanders
naval and military, will afford them such pro-
tec,ion as the rules Of civilized warfare require.
Already General Merritt has been instructed
by cable TO Investigate reports that some monks
were made prisoners by the Insurgents ana
were about to be executed. This report came
70 the War Department from Catholic sources

Washington. Aug 6--The announcement that
the United States Government will assume La
bility for claims against the Spanish Govern
ment on account of injuries and damages sus-
tanned In the Cuban instruction has caused the
filing OF q large number Of claims with the State
Department Very many Of these are not based
upon events occurring during the last rebellion
but date back Cor many years. and relate to ex-
cess customs collections. damages sustained
through municipal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. alleged t.
legal confinement, and such things
On the other hand. there are now Spanish
claims to the amount of $S,00O,OO0 against the
United States, which. in the event Of a joint
claims commission being authorized. would be
proper offsets TO many Americans here. A large
number Of these claims made BY Spanish
appropriated by the Confederate troops during
the Ciyi! War, thus having exactly the same
basis as a number Of claims filed by American
citizens against the Spanish Government for prop
erty seized or destroyed by the insurgents in
Cuba. Another class of these claims is OF
cient daie flowing from the abortive efforts Of
the commissioners and special courts created
by Congress to settle the FLORIDA claims" Ii
is believed TO be probable however. that In the
