Three diamonds, cut from the
world-famous stone and valued in the
aggregate at $4,000, have disappear
ed from the shop of Tiffany & Co.,
No. Is Union Square, New York. Sat
isfied that they we're stolen by some
person in their employ, but mystifed
by the strange circumstances con-
nected with the theft and the absence
Of clues, the company has set in mo-
tinents in their endeavor to recover
the precious gems.
In all ten diamonds were cut from
the Excelsior last fall, shortly after
its purchase by Tiffany from an Eng
lish syndicate. The stone was found
at Jagersfontein. South. Africa, in
1898, and in the rough weighed 971
carats. 1t was the largest diamond
that has ever been cut up, and the
total value of ten stones taken from
1t was $4,000. Five of the diamonds
were sold by Tiffany to well-known
New York people last Christmas OF
the remaining five the company now
has only two.
The robbery was committed in the
workshop on the afternon Of Thurs
day, May f. The next morning,
when the manager of the department
went to take them from the safe in
which they should have been locked
for the night, they had disappeared.
In fact, the three diamonds, upon

WANT BOOKS OF BANK.
Japs Keep Possession OF the Russo
Chinese Bank at Port Arthur.

Che Foo, May 25.-The officials OF
the Russo-Chinese bank at Port Ar
thur, since the capitalization of that
fortress, have been unsuccessfully en-
deavoring to secure the release from
the Japanese of the books of the bank
and over 100 bags of banking and 9TH
er commercial and private cores
pondence, delivered in care of the
bank for dispatch from the besieged
city.
This mail was the accumulation of
the few days prior to the capitula-
ton of the Russian forces After the
destruction of the Port Arthur post
Office during the bombardment the
outgoing mails were entrusted to the
bank vaults for safe keeping until the
first opportunity for their dispatch.
On account of undue retention of
the books by the Japanese the bank
has not been able to close trans
actions involving shipments to Port
Arthur from America, Germany, Eng.
land and France. The detained CORE
spondence contains remittances and
returned bills documents for meTchan-

which a trusted workman had been
employed all day on the 4th, had
never been placed in the safe. Loose
ly wrapped in paper, the 100000
worth of jewels had been laid by the
workman on the shelf of the window
in the wire cage which separated the
Office from the workshop.
The theory is that some one in the
shop who knew the value of the con-
tents of the folded paper stole it be
fore the articles lying on the shelf
with it had been put in the safe. The
man whose duty it was to lock up the
valuables did not miss the diamonds.
1t was when the artifcer asked for
the diamonds net morning to finish
his job of setting them that the theft
was discovered.
Tiffany e Co. are said to have been
approached with an offer to return
their three 100000 stolen diamonds
upon payment OF $4,000 and assur-
ance of immunity from arrest of the
thief or the person through whom he
is willing to conduct the negotiations.
The police know this and are devot-
ing their attention to this clew. While
there is nothing to indicate whether
the proposition is genuine, those try
ing to recover the gems are inclined
to take it seriously: President c. I.
Cook has believed from the first that
II the diamonds were restored it
would be in such a manner

BULLETINS

Toxic, May 3O.-It is officially on
nounced that Admiral Rojestvensky's
fleet has been practically annihilated.
Twelve warships have been sunk or
captured, and two transports and
two torpedo boat destroyers have
been sunk.
Washington.-An Official telegram
from Toxic states that Admiral Togo
reports to his government that the
total losses sustained by the Russian
feet Saturday and Sunday were:
Two battleships. one coast defense
armor-clad, five cruisers, two special
service ships and three destroyers-
all sunk
two battleships two coast defense ar
morclads, one special ship, one de-
stroyer and over two thousand pris-
oners. Admiral Togo adds that the
Japanese squadron was undamaged.
Washington-Mini Takahira,
of Japan, received his first informa.
tion Of the practical annihilation OF
the Russian fleet in the straits OF
Korea from the Associated Press. a
few minutes after he arose this morn
ing.
When the bulletin from Toxic con-
tanning the governments official an
nouncement that Admiral Rojestven-
sky had lost twelve warships was
read to Minister Takahira over the
telephone, he carefully repeated the
words of the dispatch and then ex-
pressed satisfaction at the apparent
result of the great conflict.
The minister and other members
of the Japanese legation remained in
their Offices nearly all night, eagerly
awaiting news of the battle Up to
this hour no Official advices have been
received at the legation. Aside from
the press dispatches, the only infor-
nation received at the legation was
contained in a private message to the
minister, indicating that the result Of
the fight was favorable to Japan.
Minister Takahira is expecting nom
entarily definite news of the bat.

Russian Ships May Seek Shelter In
Philippines.
UNCLE SAN is EVER ALERT.
May be Put in Same Boat With
France = Will Force Russians Out
of Island Waters Observe Neu-
traIity.

Paris. May 24-Much attention is
given here to Vice Admiral Rojest-
venskys probable passage into the
Pacific north of the Island of Luzon,
and suggestions are made that the
reported intentions of the Russians
to rendezvous at the the Island OF
Babyuan will give the American au-
thorities in the Philippines the same
difficulties in preserving neutrality
against the incursiOns of Admiral
Rojestvensky that the French au-
thorities experienced in the waters of
Indo China. The naval expert Of the
Temps lengthily points out that the
information brought by various
steamers to Chinese ports confirms
the previous view that Rojestvensky
is skirting the north of the Philip
pines into the Pacific. 1t is maintain
ed that the strategic object thus &C
complished is avoiding Japanese tor
pedo attacks and the mines in the
straits of Formosa and the subse-
Quent concentration of the Japanese
fleet in the straits of Korea leaving
Rojestvensky free to make a long de-
one of the northern straits of Japan.
However, it is pointed out that the
presence of the Russian feet north
Of the Philippines leaves the Russians
only a few hundred miles from the
Japan naval base at Kelung, in the
northern part of the island of For
mosa, and that it is possible before
the detour commences.
St. Petersburg. = Probably a fort
| night will elapse before the written
| argument on which the superior ad-
mirality court based it's conclusions
in the appeals of the captured Brit
ish steamer Calchas, overruling Ad-
| miral Jessend's protest against the
decision of the V1adivostok court or
dering her release, will be available,
| and in order to avoid a miSunder-
standing the purport of the decision
| should be stated. 1t is plain from
| the procurator's speech that the gov
ernment conceded that timber is on
the list of conditional contraband,
arguing in this particular case that
| the lensth of the beams showed that
| they we're intended for railroad bridge
| construction. To this extent, there
| fore, the list of conditional contra
| band articles broadened. Quite the
| contrary is the case in the matter of
| cotton, the procurator insisting
| against the contention of the authori-
ties at Berlin and of Mr.. Sheftel, act
ing as counsel for the American and
British owners of the steamers cargo,
| that cotton belonged to the list of
| absolute contraband. as it is used in
making gun cotton. The impression
in diplomatic circles is that if the
courts written decision bears out the
arguments of the procurator, the Uni
ted States and Great Britain will re-
new their representations on the sub
| 1ect of cotton.
The contraband question has again
become important, in view of the ap-
| pearance of Admiral Rojestvensky's
| feet in the Far Eastern seas.
