Manila, April 1.-THE case of Sergt.
Weston In the commissary scandal in
vestigatton has been closed. The de-
tense offered was very plausible. It
was stated that the sergeant had
erased certain entries in consolidating
h accounts in order to expedite the
work, and that this vas the customary
practice. Some of the witnesses gave
damaging evidence against the accused
persons, and 1t is evident that there
have been many Irregularities. Capt.

1t is alleged that entries upon the
book OF Evans & Co., government con
tractors, indicate that the commissary
officers received the following sums:

$1,000; Capt. James c. Read, formerly
department commissary at Manila,
$1,000; Capt. Frank H. Lawton, $3.50;
b. L. Trematne, Col. Woodruff's clerk,
500. 1t also appears that the Evans
company furnished the handsome resi-
dence of Col. Woodruff. Harold M.

now under arrest. was VIGOROUSLY Law

other officers, while the depot commits

Havana, April 14.-At a private SEES
sion last night the convention-18 to 10
adopted a motion expressing the
opinion that the convention is opposed
to the Plat amendment on account Of
the terms in which some of the clauses
are drawn. and the contents of others.
After voting this 1t was proposed to
dissolve the convention. The question
OF sending a commission to Washing
ton was not voted upon. A conserva-
tive delegate, who previously favored
a commission, says hat those moder-
ates who favored it will now oppose it
as being useless after last nights vote.
1t is considered that the conventions
action is a half-hearted way of reject
ing the Plat amendment, and thai it
wal largely due to the animosity of
some Of the delegates against Gen.
Wood. they being anxious to show him
that he was wrong in his forecast that
the convention would adopt the
amendment. ,-,~

Commissioner Borda had his to say
as to the cablegram:
"This cablegram signifies that by
reason of the imposition of the excise
taxes under the Hollander revenue law
the production of the island has so de-
creased that the excise taxes do not
produce the revenue which was expect
ed by Treasurer Hollander. The in

No Clue Has Yet Been Found to h
Money OF the Thieves.
New York, April 1.-THE only def
mite information received in this city
yesterday regarding the theft Of three
gold bars valued at from $4,000 to
$24, 900 from a key in the storage room
of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, on her last voyage from this
port to C%herbourg, was a cable dis
patch from Capt. Engelbart, captain OF
the ship, confirming the fact of the
loss. The cablegram said that the
strong room had apparently been en-
tered and that the three bars had
been taken from one Of the kegs OF
gold in the room. In default Of further
information the manager Of the North
German Lloyd office here was unable
to advance any theory Of the robbery.

Bremen, April 12.-The directors OF
the North German Lloyd Steamship
company have apparently learned
nothing definite as to when and where
the theft of the gold bars from the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse took place.
Capt. Engelbart is Of the opinion that
the gold was stolen at either New
York or Southampton. The police here
as a result Of their inquiries think the
robbery was probably committed In
New York.
