Darco, with IA large family.
DarcO tells curious story Of how he
fed from Italy in 1850, after killing
man in an ARRAY. He went to Galita
and there in cave found considerable
sum of money in Spanish doub,oons and
piastres and god and silver coins of va
rious countries, which was supposed 10

once infested the Mediterranean. Return
ing with this money to Naples, he changed
it into current coin of the rea.m. Two
young men, relatives of his. joined him,
and they ven, to La Gale, Algeria. Here
Darco married an Italian woman. He
bought agricultural implements, carpen-
tiers too.s, provisions, &c, and the party
then went to Ga-ita, whore they now form
large and prosperous family,
Darco, who is still vigorous, refuses to
accept French nationality or acknowledge
the jurisdiction Of the Resident-Gerer

try to induce the Italian Government to
take up his case, but got the cod shoulder,
He is now applying to the Pope for some

LONDON, Oct. 3.-There ia reason to
believe that the French Government has
been much embarrassed by the publication
in The Sun fortnight ago of its secret
designs against the independence of Mo-
rocco. The latest effort to suppress alarm
in that quarter consists of an inspired
article in yesterdays Matin to the effect
that the reports Of a French invasion of
Morocco were due to an indiscretion COM
mitted in connection wit III plan for moLili-
cation of a purely defensive character on
the Moroccan frontier similar to those on
the continental frontiers of France.
The article goes on to describe the large
reenforcements which have been planned
for the control Of the nomads on the AL
geria Morocco frontier, but solemnly af-
firms that no hostility toward Morocco
itself is implied by these preparations.
1t is only necessary to add in this con-
neotion that THE SUNS despatch was based
on information from confidential diplomatic
sources, and it may confidently pe expected
that it will be fully subst antiated by the
events of the coming winter

LONDON, Oct 3.--The drop in the price
Of consols below 81 gives prominence to a
paradoxical feature Of British national
finance 1t must be remembered that con-
soils consist Of promise 70 pay perE etual
annuity The Governments only method
of cancellation is their purchase in open
market ;he amount Of the national debt
in the form of consoIs is Ej6O,OOO 900.
The market value Of this debt has shr,nk
since the eve of the TransvaAl war some
thing more than hundred million pounds
In other words, if England could iquidate
her debt in consols at the present prices
she would save half the cost of the South
African War above the cost by the same
proc ess four years ago. The economy of
extravaganza is one of the paradoxes sug-
gested by the peculiar fluctuations of the
financial credit of this Empire,
1t is believed in Cal el Court that the Amer

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
THE HAGUE, Oct. 3.--The Arbitration
Tribunal decided to-day. in the matter of
the Vene zuelan claims, that the time limit
for replies expires on Nov. 2.
Wayne V,agh began his address this
afternoon. He di. cussed the causes Of the
di. agreement between Great Britain and
Venezuela. He alleged that the anthor
ties Of Trinidad favored the insur-
gents and countenanced the traffic
in contraband goods of war; that Vemz-
uela complained because she was not
represented in the arbitration respecting
the British Guiana-Venezuea boundary;
that Great Britain began the war, blockaGel
the ports, seized vessels and bombarded
the forts on frivolous pretexts of unfounded
grievances, and that the blockading Pow
ers had attempted to force Venezuela to
pay exorbitant and unverifed claims.
For this reason, he argued. the blockading
Powers did not deserve preferential treat
ment.
Mr.. Macveagh will continue his argu-
ment on Monday.
