The Position of Japan.
The position of Japan, as now de-
fined in the highest official quarter, is
practically the same as that of the
United States. A copy of the recent
Russian communication was delivered
to Japan at the same time it was
given to this government, although
the texts differ slightly, they are
alike in all material points. The Japa.
nese government now makes known
that it accepts this declaration as
made in entire good faith, and, like
the United States, it is quite salts
fed to leave the Manchurian ques-
ton in its present status.
Russian Assurances satisfactory.
The assurances given by Russia are
Of such a character that the Japa-

4 MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.
Three Bars of Gold, Valued at $22,.
$50, Taken From the Strong
Room of an Ocean Liner.
NO CLEW TO EITHER GOLD OR THIEVES.
The North German Lloyd Company
Offers "a Reward of Ten Thousand
Marks for the Recovery of the
Gold or For the Discovery of the
Thieves.

New York, April 1.-THE robbery
Mt sea of the specie room of the North
German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse seems a mysterious crime.
Apparently there has been complete
failure to locate either the missing
cold bullion or the men who took il,
although the search of passengers
and ship at Bremen may furnish ma
terial for the Investigations. Three
bars of gold aggregating in value
$2,75O shipped by the National City
Bank of New York were stolen from
cask No. 4, of the specie room some
where between this port and Cher
bourg.
Imperfect Advices.
The advces to Oelrichs & Co.,agents
for the company, came in German,and
on the point as to whether the specie
room was broken open or entered by
picking The lock admits of transla-
tion either way. The specie room Of
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse is
ironbound and almost as strong as u
vault. Its doors were secured by a
patent lock, for which there were
but two keys. One of the keys was
kept by the chief officer, and the
other by the purser.
The bars of gold were packed in
oak casks, bound with iron hoops.
Thousands of dollars in gold We're
within the reach of the man who
forced his way into the strong room,
but only the sum named was taken.
At the Office of the North German
Lloyd agents the following statement
was given;
Three Bars of Gold.
"Three bars of gold valued AZ S22,-
$50 were taken from the specie room
of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
somewhere between here and Cher
bourg. The bars were taken from
cask No. 4, but we have no idea as
TO how the robbery was accomplished.
Our adyiccs are but brief, and do not
show how the room was entered. The
gold was shipped by the National
CITY Bank of New York We UNDER
stand II was insured, but the question
of responsibility will he passed upon
later. We have not recovered the
gold, and this Office has no knowledge
