The POPE Is FOR PEACE

New York, August ga dis
patch TO the Journal and Adver-
tiser from Rome says:
His Holiness, the Pope, deeply
concerned about the war in the
Philippines.
He has communicated bis anxi-
ETY. to the Rev Father Reamey,
chaplain of the Olympia.
In the plainest possible terms
Leo expressed desire to see peace
esta blished between the United
States and the natives and said
that he contemplated the opening
of negotiations with the United
States Government with a view
to regulation the p sition of Gath
olics in the Philippines.
All this was in the course OF
special audience accorded to the
chaplain of Dewey's flagship.
There is little doubt that the con-
ferring OF the unusual honor upon
Father Resmey was prompted by
the Poutiff's desire to Inquire
closely into the affairs of the Phi
lippines from one who had enjoy
ed such good opportunities of OBJ
serving the situation aud who
could enligbten from an American
and Catholic point of view.

partial report to Gen. Ludlow. He
finds the alcalde and comptroller of
the city on October 81, 1898, made a
report that there was debt of S6,l2l,-
900 to the Spanish bank of the island
of Cuba, and another Of $2,S62,O0O to
the Bank of Commerce, United Rail
ways and Regia Warehouses. one
dates from April, 1889. and the others
from October 10. 1892, each being for
80 years at per cent. There was
floating debt for salaries, materials,
interest and sinking fund of $2,450.-
064 76, and notes OF S23, $3.50 "a. The in
crease of floating debt since the report
will bring the present total debt to
worth S5,000,000.
To secure the loans the city mort
gagged the Canal de Vento. the Aque-
duct Ferdinand VII, the Christina
slaughter house. the falcon and Colon
markets and all their revenues, and 80
houses II owned The canal alone Is
worth $1,000 0000.

puts a tax Of 12 per cent. on estimated
rents of all houses and a tax on indus
try, commerce and the professions. OF
the former tax is per cent. and of the
latter % per cent. of the amount col
lected in the city comes back to It,.
Rent of houses owned by the city, re-
venue from water works, slaughter
houses and markets, taxes on meat,
coke and wood, and licenses on facto-
ries and businesses are the other sourc-
es of income. The tax on meat amounts
to S633000 per year. The whole Is

There is no tax here on real estate,
from which 30 per cent. of an American

considers that by judicious application
of the American system the city's in

more.
Gen. Ludlow is Informed two-thirds

STOLEN MONEY SENT BACK.
Robbers Return saoo,coo in Notes to the Bank
From Which They Were Stolen.

rIOHl winch lncy Wtit
The robbery of over 100000 from
Paar's bank in London, which has
been the sensation of the week, took
a dramatic turn last Friday when the
chairman of the bank announced at a
meeting of the stockholders that $780,
600 in the biggest notes had been re-
turned to the bank by post.
The robbery was apparently most
daring crime. The thief is supposed
to have walked boldly behind the
counter, where there were over 100
clerks at work, and opened n drawer,
from which he took parcel of notes
and walked out of the bank undetec-
ed. American thieves are suspected
of having been concerned in the theft,
as 1t Is said several Americans were
recently noticed lettering about the
premises. The police are again utter
ly helpless. Thirty-six Gl,000 notes
and % $500 notes figured in the rob-
berry. Most of these have been re-
turned, and the remainder of the notes
are practically unacceptable.
The chairman OF the bank also an
nounced that the Bank of England
had promised to pay the s235,OOO, of
which $500, 900 had been returned. The
remainder of the money was in notes
of smaller amounts. which could be
easily passed. and might therefore be
considered lost. The shareholders
greeted this unexpected announce
ment with enthusiasm, especially as
1t was accompanied by a declaration
of n dividend of 10 per cent.

that the accused was guilty, had no

Therefore, the only hope for General
Eagan Is i'm the direction of commuta-

secretary Alger, as soon as he has read
the record he will likely place 1t at
