day bulletin. which says that. as COM
pared with the Spanish census of 1887,
the recent Cuban count discloses n loss

able to the recent civil war and the re-
concentration policy accompanying It,.
These figures, however. express only Il

approximately $4,000 square miles. with
the average number of Inhabitants per

papers, which came by messenger from
Washington. John d. Lindsay. counsel
for Nicely informed District Attorney
Burnett that he would oppose the
granting of eXtradition papers.
"ro my surprise" said Mr. Lindsay.
the charges in Governor Woods requi-
sition papers go back to the old SPAN
ish law. They accuse our client of Il
violation of the penal code of Cuba. ar
ticle i0l. section g. which reads: Any
public employee who has charge OF pub
lie funds who takes or consents THAI
others will take any part thereof. shall
be punished with the penalty Of pre-

victed. he may he imprisoned in quar-
tiers provided In the place where the
crime was committed for n term not eX-
ceeding twelve years or less than six

THE charges are not brought under
the United States laws, the maximum
penalty for the same offence being five
years, nor under the postal law of
Cuba. where it provides for Il penalty
of not less than six months nor more
than ten years.
LAS the charges read the authorities
want TO try him in Cuba. without a
jury, and before y judge appointed by
the military governor. our client asks
to he tried in United States Court as

1t is believed among many lawyers
that the attempted requisition of Nicely
bears directly upon the question of
Cuba's future. 1t is pointcd out that
there are no legal relations existing be-
tween the military governor of Cuba
and the Governor of New York State
and the question is, has the latter any
power to interfere in the military gov
ernmeat of foreign territory of the
United States? 1t is even doubted by
some If the military governor of Cuba
has any authority or power whatever in
law. under the United States Constitu-
ton as it stands at present.

While the Robbers worked.
NEW YORK. March 5.-One Of the most
daring burglaries that has ever taken place
in Hudson county for many years was
committed at an early hour Saturday
morning when TIN &c masked men entered
the undertaking shop OF Thomas 6 James
McNally. in Main Street, Fort Lee, y. J..
After binding Frederick Eirmann, the
watchman, they blew open the Office safe
and then made their escape. There is no
definite clew to their identity.
Eirmann says be was asleep on the sec
ond floor OF the establishment at l O'Clock.
when he was awakened by the sudden
turning on OF an electric light in his room.
AS he opened his eyes the muzzle of two
pistols were showed against his head, and
he was warned to make no outcry.
He saw that there we're three men in
the room. and that they were masked.
The intruders. when they saw Eirmann
open his eyes. according to his statement,
quickly shut of the light, so that he
might have less chance to note their aP-
pearance
Then they demanded that he tell them
the combination OF the safe. He assured
them that he did not know it, but they
evidently believed he was trying 20 de-
ceive them, for they swore they would
compel him 70 reveal the information they
sought. Producing several ropes, which
they had with them, they bound the man S
hands. occasionally turning on the light
for a few moments to aid them in doing
their work Eirmann's feet were then Sc
curely tied and he was placed upon the
bed with his face down and in such man
ner that he could not well move.
The burglars then made second demand
for the combination Of the safe. but upon
being told by Eirmann that he did not
know II, they turned out the light, and
while one Of them stood at the entrance
TO the room with a drawn pistol in his
hand. with which he threatened to kill the
frightened man II he made the least out
cry. the other burglars descended to the
lower floor and proceeded to blow open the
safe.
This they did not succeed in doing until
half an hour later. when by The use OF
powder they blew of the lock and gained
access to the interior of the safe Several
neighbors said they heard the explosion,
but imagined that the noise was made by
horses in the stable in the rear Of The un-
dertaking shop
After finding that the safe contained no
money, but only a few papers. the burglars

complaint before Recorder George M. CAD
