CEDED TO GERMANY.
spain DIspOses OF the Caroline and
Marianne Islands I'm the Pacific


Madrid, June BIN the speech from
the throne at the opening of the cor
tes yesterday it was announced that
the Marianne, Caroline and Palaos
islands were ceded to Germany by the
late cabinet.
Washington, June 3.-The announce
ment that Spain had ceded the Caro-
line islands and Palaos and the Mari
annes was received with surprise here.
The cession marks the REIMBURSEMENT
of Spanish possessions in the far east
save the island of Fernando Pc and
dependencies on the African coast, The
dispatch containing the news was
shown to the German embassy officials,
but Ambassador Won Holleben said
that he had no comments to make. He
had received no information, he said,
as to the cession and the German
foreign Office has not communicated
the facts to him.
Reports have been current from time
to time that Spain was figuring on a
transfer of sovereignty of the Caro-
lines and that Germany had made over
tures looking to their acquisition in
the extension of her colonial posses
sions. Sovereignty over the Caro-
lines was formally adjudged by the
pope in 1885 to be in Spain and was
admitted by Germany and Great
Britain. This was after rather pro-
longed dispute. opened up by Germany
raising her flag over the island of zap.
German interests in the Carolines are
extensive and have been fostered by a
provision of the pope's award, he as
arbitrator awarding sovereignty to
Spain, but reserved TO the German gov
ernment special trade facilities. The
Marianne islands, which go with the
Carolines and Palaos in the cession, of
course do not include Guam, over
which the American flag now flies. In
cluding Guam the Mariannes, the
Carolines and Palaos have a total area
of almost 1000 English square miles
and a combined population of about
$4,000 people. Over all this. save the
American acquired island of Guam, the
German flag is to be hoisted.

LOST BABE FOUND.
The Clark Child and Her Kidnapers
are Discovered Near a New York


NnlaSes
Garnerville, N. Y, June 2-Marion
Clark, the 21-months-old infant kid
naped from her parents home in New
York on May 81, was discovered two
miles south of Sloatsburg, village
about eight miles from here, Thursday
afternoon. She was found at the farm
house of Charles Youmans and was in
the custody of Mrs. Jennie Wilson, who
took the baby TO that place during the
early part of last week. Mrs. Wilson
was accompanied by her husband and
stated to Mrs. Youmans that she want
ed board for the little girl for the sum
mer. Mrs. Wilson said she had made
arrangements with her husband to
send all correspondence to her by way
of the st. Johns post Office, which is u
few miles from Soatsburg.
The Clark baby attracted the coun-
try people by her appearance, her large
blue eyes and pink complexion being
particularly noticeable. The curios-
ity which the child aroused made her
captors grow uneasy and they kept
her closely confined at the Youmans
home. As soon as the notices of the
abduction reached the neighborhood
the people began to suspect that the
child was Marion Clark. They felt
positive of it, because the child wore
the same clothes as at the time when
she was stolen. As soon as Deputy
Sheriff Charlston learned Of the alb
duction he went to the farm house of
Charles Youmans and found Mrs. Will
son, from whom he demanded the
child. Mrs. Wilson claimed she knew
nothing whatever of the child. The
deputy sheriff produced warrant. ar
rested the woman and demanded in
formation as to the whereabouts OF the
child. At this Mrs. Wilson weakened
and made a confession. The baby
was then produced.
Arthur Clark. the father of the alb
Quoted baby. arrived here last evening
and identified the child as his lost
Marion.
The arrest of the man giving the
name of James Wilson, husband of the
woman, took place soon after Mr..
Clark had departed. He had come
back and gave himself up TO the justice
who left him with his alleged wife.

Committee-Mil Escape the
1.-THE Gatherer.
New York, June 2.-Phe sessions of
the Mazet committee yesterday were
noticeably chiefly for two points, one
the turning at bay Of Mr.. Moss and the
other evidence regarding the exist
cnce in this city of the most frightful
form of depravity.
Mr.. Moss opened the session with an
outbnrst of indignation against the
way in which witnesses had treated
him. He demanded the protection of
the committee and announced his in
tention of bringing Police Capt Price
before the committee to make him
prove the charges he had made against
Mr.. Moss. During this heated APP
peal from the committees counsel DR..
O'Sullivan, who appears for the city
departments, frequently interrupted,
and in intense anger Mr.. Moss de-
manded that O'Sulliyan be denied the
privilege of participating in the pro-
ceedings. Mr.. Mazet upheld Mr.. Moss
and DR.. O'Sullivan was rebuked, but al
lowed to remain in the committee
room.
Joseph Dillon. who is an employe
of Mr.. Moss, related the circumstances
of an attempt to serve subpoena on
Police Capt. Price yesterday. He tes-
titled that Price said to him: go
away from her or I'll throw you
overheard, YOU crook"
"You serve that subpoena this after
noon.' said Mr.. Moss in tone that
signifed his determination to make
Price prove his accusations.
The evidence regarding the fragrant
existence of the worst forms of vice
was given by two of Mr.. Moss agents.
1t established the fact that under the
eyes of the police there were running
on the Bowery the vilest of resorts,
Thomas L. Feitner, president Of the
tax board, testified that among his APP
pointments were those of a number of
relatives at large salaries.
Mr.. Moss went into the assessments
of John D. Rockefeller. Cornelius Van
derbilt, ]. p. Morgan, Russell Sage
and George Could In the case of
Rockefeller. Sage and Vanderbilt the
record merely showed that they were
assessed in 1898 and 1899 after making
no appearance. In the case of Mr..
Morgan it showed that he was assessed
on 100000 and that he consented Ia
an assessment on 100000 after stating
that he had no property upon which
he could be assessed.
'Do you mean TO say" said Mr.. Moss
"that Mr.. Morgan swore that he was
not taxable and then volunteered tc
pay on S4O0.00O?"
THAT is what | mean to say" said
Mr.. Feitner.
In the case of George Gould the rec
ord showed that he was not assessed
Mr.. Moss asked il any effort had beer
made to place him on the roll. ant
Mr.. Feitner said that not as far as
he knew. Mr.. Feitner admitted thai
tremendous amount of injustice re
suited from the personal tax system
as it existed at present.

TREASURE STOLEN.
A BOX Containing $4,000 in Gold II
Taken from the Coin Room of n
Steamship.


San Francisco, June 3.-There was
great excitement yesterday on board
the steamer Alameda upon her arrival
from Australia when it was discovered
that box containing 5000 sovereigns
was missing. Seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in gold had been sent
by the steamer from Sydney. The
money was shipped in 30 steel boxes,
each containing S25lO0 in British gold.
One of these boxes was distracted
from the steamers treasure room dur
ing the voyage.
The theft is shrouded in mystery.
Each vessel belonging to the steamship
company has a special steel tank con-
structed for the safe carriage of trea-
sure. On the Alameda this vault is
formed of steel plates five-siyteenths Of
an inch thick. The purser declares
that the key to the lock has never been
taken from the safe from the time the
steamer sailed from Sydney until the
arrival here. The seal over the lock
was unbroken and yet the consignment
was short 5000 sovereigns. No one
questions that 30 boxes were placed in
the steel tank at the beginning of the
voyage, and yet but 90 boxes were in
the tank when the steamer arrived.
The police have arrested two men
who came on the steamer on suspicion,
