LESS THAN S8,O0O.OOO
Receiver Says Marquand Debts
VIII Not Reach That Sum.

New York. June 29.-An expert ac-
countant is at work today on the books
of Henry Marquand & Co., for the pur-
pose OF finding out the extent of their
liabilities and assets. Frank Sullivan
Smith, the receiver. said that In all
probability no schedule could be filed
or any statement made for several days
yet.
Mr.. Smith declined to make an esti-
mate of the assets and liabilities of the
firm, saying that he was not yet in a
position to do so. When asked in re-
gard to a report to the effect that the
liabilities would reach eight million
dollars, he said that he did not believe
they would come anywhere near such
a figure.
LAS far as the loans of the firm are
concerned" said Mr.. Smith, ''the cred
itors are protected by the best kind of
securities. The securities of the firm
on those accounts are much better than
/ expected. They could all be realized
on without loss tomorrow, should the
creditors SO desire"
win the firm be able to pay dollar
for dollar?" Mr. Smith was asked.
II cannot say" was the reply. While
the securities of the firm are splendid
I do not yet know how the firm g ac-
count with the stock exchange stands.
we have not come to that yet"

Chief Stahl Says He Will Prob
ably Be Retained on Force.
sol JACKSON STREET.

A. Robinwitz swore out a warrant
for S. NJ. Hall, the police officer who
struck him in the face last Thursday
for an alleged interference on the part
of Robinwitz while Hall was arresting
two small boys for fighting, one Of
whom was Robinwftz's son. In the
complaint sworn in the city court Hall
is charged with assault.
Chief Stahl was asked for an opinion
this morning as to the probable out
come Of Halls arrest. II have no opin-
ion to express in the matter. as I was
absent when the occurrence took place,
and I know nothing about It." an
swered the chief DO you think Hall
will be dismissed from the force 2''
stOh, I don't know about that; prob
ably not
The police committee will meet this
evening, and Mr.. Halls case will be
taken up. It is not surprising that
Chief Stahl should speak lightly Of
Halls offense, but the people do not
regard it in so light a manner.
The case of Sergeant Carpenter, who
took off his star to fight VIM. Adams,
driver of a beer wagon, will also be
taken up by the committee. If poll
tics did not control in police affairs
something might happen

NOT BEFORE SPRING.
Removal of Troops From Cuba Will
Not Be fastened

New York June 2s.-Cuba having ac-
cepted the Plat amendment, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Herald. General Miles has officially
recommended to Secretary Root that
one-half of the American force now pO-
Icing the island be withdrawn, and that
the work be turned over to the Cubans,
in order that they may be prepared to
accept full responsibility for preserving
order
It IS General Miles belief that such
a step would settle beyond doubt the
capacity OF the Cubans for self-g govern
ment. If any disturbances occur troops
can promptly re-occupy the island
There are now less than five thousand
men on the island.
notwithstanding the argument made
by General Miles IL is not believed that
the president and Secretary Root will
deem # advisable to reduce the Ameri-
can force in Cuba until next spring,
when a gradual withdrawal of troops
VIII begin. The moment the Cuban gov
eminent assumes control the last Amer
lean regiment will leave the. island.

that that is not the voice of her whom

made a move as If to speak to them and
then drew back. At all events the young
woman to whom the roses had been sent

looking sharply at her. but not daring
by this time to address anybody, she
walked straight up to him, shook him by

the same bewildered Johnnie did. He did

they were old acquaintance, and so

he did so, and to cap the climax she went
off alone in the cab after he had paid
the bill, leaving him probably more con-
fused than ever he had been in his life.
The girls wonder If he thinks the wrong
one got the roses? It does not matter
