AFTER SPANS INDEMNITY.
Thieves Cut Open Official Mail Bag
From Paris Foreign Office.

Washington, May 10.-The official
mail bag from the Paris foreign office,
which reached the French embassy
yesterday, was in damaged condition,
a hole being rent in one end large
enough to permit hand and arm to be
inserted and the contents of the bag
examined. Fortunately, however, an
examination of the contents and a
comparison with the official list Of en-
closures, showed that nothing had
been removed, probably because an in
spection indicated there were no funds
enclosed. The reports of late of the
payment to Spain of $20,OOO,OOO
through the medium of the French en-
bassy, may have led to this mutilatton
of the French bag. The hole was too
carefully made to be the result of an
accident. A large heart-shaped incl
sion was made in the leather and this
was torn sideways, making an opening
about inches across.
