Japanese Caught Gambling.

Last night the police raided a small cellar room under a Japanese restau- rant in this city and corralled twenty Japanese and two Chinese gamblers. all of whom were taken to the police station without any trouble whatever and charged with gambling. T. Motto and M. Hobo, members of the bunch, were adjudged the proprietors of the place 1raided and were charged with operating gambling houses. The fines imposed in their cases were $15o each. The players were fined $10 each.
 This is the first time that gambling has been carried on in this city by the natives of the Eastern countries, and the wholesale arrest caused great sensation. The delusive game of dice was the one employed to either win or lose. and so intent were the play CTS on the progress of the game that they were not aware of the police un- til the officers had them in charge. There was no attempt made by any of them to get away. and the only trou- ble was experienced at the station house In getting names from the pris- oners. They were all from the naval ships in the harbor, and principally held positions as stewards.

New Ambassador to France Reaches
 His Post.

Paris, March 31.--Robert &. McCor-. mick, the new American Ambassador to France, and Mrs. Mccormick arr rived here at p. m., direct from St. Petersburg in pursuance of finstruc- tions from Washington. They were met at the railroad station by officials of the American Embassy who accom- panied them to the Hotel Ritz, where temporary quarters have been taken pending completion of the alterations and improvement in the handsome new embassy in the Quai de Billy.
 As the arrival of Ambassador Mo- Cormick Is likely to arouse conjec~ ture in connection with peace negotia- tions, 1t can be stated that neither his coming nor the continued stay of Ambassador Porter until May has thus far had any relation to the peace ques- tion.

Counterfeit Money.

With the arrest of Louis Freeman, a negro, by the police yesterday. there was unearthed what Is thought to have been scheme to flood the city with bad money, and it is the opinion of the officers that this plan has not alto gether signelly failed, for two 25-cent pieces and two $1 pieces made of lead and cast in an almost perfect die have been recovered. The negro was given a term with the street gang, but since the spurious money is turning up in such quantities. he was taken from the streets and has now been placed In solitary confinement. The officers be- iieve that they will eventually recover the dies, which are thought to be in this city, and the opinion Is also held that the money was really made in Pensacola. The Federal officers have interested themselves in the matter and will prosecute the negro for having the bad money in hls possession.

Good Roads Expert.

Hon. A. s. Spoon, the Good Roads expert. who is experimenting the work of the National Good Roads As- sociation in Florida, is In the city to- day and this morning went out with Mayor Welles to select a stretch of street one mile in length on which a sample road by the improved methods of the association will be constructed. MT. Spoon said that he would bring his apparatus here inside of ten days and that the work would be started immediately.
 The Mayor selected a portion of Intendencia Street, extending from Palafox to Cevallos. on which the sam pie work would be made. The only ob- jection Is that there are insecure side- walks lining the route, which would to some extent miliaate against the rapid work of the Associations forces It Is expected that work will be start ed within a short time.
