STOLE HIS LETTERS.
Thieves Rob Letter Box of u. s
Minister Merry.

Chicago, June "A special to the Tri-
bune from New Orleans. says:
Startling news comes from Costa
Rica. The correspondent of a New Or
leans paper, writing from Port Limon
under date of May &c, sends news of a
serious nature which may result in an
international episode. On the night OF
May "a the postoffice box of United
States Minister Merry, in the postoffice
of San Jose, was broken open and the
letters therein stolen.
The theft caused a sensation Minis
ter Merry discovered that there werP
Of particular interest being from Con
sui Davidson at Managua, Nicaragua
The fact that this letter was among
those stolen furnished in all probability
the clue to the thieves. Ever since the
settlement of the trouble between Mic
aragua and Costa Rica. in which the
United States officiated as mediator,
against this country because of alleged
favoritism shown to Nicaragua. It is
thought that the rifiing of the postOfice
box was done by the agents of the par
ty who diSbelieves in the sincerity of
this country and who stole the letter
from Managua to get proof of their
suspicious.
Minister Merry has complained to the
Costa Rican government. The authori-
ties of that country disavow all respon-
sibility for the crime and have started
an investigation to discover the thieves.
Consul Sorsby. the United States rep
resentative at Greytown, is now on his
way to this country and will probably
bring the official report of the affair.

Granddaughter of Queen Victoria Ar

the Majestic.

New York, June 2.-Traveling incog-
nito. and attended only by a lady in
waiting. the Princess Aribert of Anhalt,
eldest daughter Of her royal highness
the Princess Christian and grand
daughter OF Queen Victoria, arrived in
New York on the Majestic, Wednesday
evening.
Her highness is now at the Waldorf
Astoria, where she is registered as the
Countess of Munsterburg, and her lady
in waiting as Fraulein Won Chappins-
1t is the first visit the princess has
made to America. and her coming has
been known only to a few personal
friends of herself and her mother, the
Princess Christian. who before her mar
riage to Prince Christian of SchlesWlg-
Holstein, was the Princess Helena
Augusta, second daughter OF the queen.
The Princess Aribert is here as a tour
list, solely for pleasure, and has pre-
feT-red to remain incognitO, but as she
leaves New York tomorrow for Wash
ington, where she is to be received at
the British legation, her identity can
scarcely be kept a secret hereafter
After a visit to the national capital
the princess expects to return to New
York next Wednesday or Thursday
She will remain here three or four days,
after which she Will visit Canada. Her
present intention is to return home
some time in July.

A STRUGGLE ROYAL
Will Be the Great Race Between
Ethelbert and Jean Beraud.

New York. June 2-The weather
promises to be fair and the track is in
splendid condition for the match race
at Gravesend this afternoon between
Perry Belmont's Ethelbert and VIM. c.
Whitney's Jean Beraud. The race is at
mile and a quarter, each owner put
ting up 1000 and the Brooklyn Jockey
club adding 5000. Both horses are said
to be in perfect condition and the lovers
of sport predict that it will be one of
greatest special match races ever run
in the east. The Belmont colt is slight
~ the favorite because Of his victory in
the Metropolitan handicap at Morris
Park. He ran that race with 126 pounds
on his back, which is the weight for
today's race. Jean Beraud's perform
ances at a two-year-old is even more
remarkable than those of Ethelbert.
After he had captured the Withers and
Belmont stakes last year lameness
compelled his retirement for the rest
of the season. Ethelbert won the Re
alization in 1899 and other valuable
stakes 1t cannot he doubted that Eth
Gilbert has improved much over his two
year-old form, although it should not be
forgotten that Ethelbert lost several inn
portant races in 1898 because of bad
starts, of accidents in contests and of
several bad rides.
