Spain Unable to Recover Ordnance
s58 Left In Cuba. "a III
Washington, March 28.-Spain has
never been able to recover from Cuba
the ordnance left there at the ter
mination Of the Spanish American
war and Senior Ojeda, the Spanish
minister, called upon Secretary Taft
to learn the position Of this govern
ment in the matter. Under the terms
OF peace It was held that Spain was
entitled to all Of the movable ord.
1unce in Cuba and Porto Rico and in
the latter case its claim had been rec.
ognized and the ordnance transferred.
But In the case Of Cuba there appears
to be some difficulty in securing the
recognition by The Cuban government
of the obligation entered into by the
United States. Secretary Taft caused
q cablegram to be sent Minister
SQuiers In Havana instructing him to
notify the Cuban authorities that the
ordnance in question remains the
property of Spain; that it was never
possessed by the United States and
should be returned to Spain.

Worknen ia Submarine Tunnel Mirac-
uiousIy Saved.
New York, March 2S.-Four men
who, were at work in the forward
compartment of the railroad tunnel
under the East river between Brook
Ign and the Battery were saved from
either death or serious injury in
miraculous fashion when all four were
blown out of the tunnel and up to
the surface of the river by the force
OF compressed air in which they were
working. Bystanders who saw the
men shoot to the surface say that
Richard ;Creedon, one OF the four, was
shot twenty feet into the air from the
level of the water and that his star
ting appearance SO frightened several
Italian laborers on the nearby pier
that they took to flight.
Contractors say that this is the
first instance in which the workmen
have escaped with their lives when
submarine and subterranean tunnel
has burst and been filed by water.
There have been numerous instances
In which the men have lost their
lives.

NEW METHOD DISCOVERED.
Counterfeit Bills Turned Out Amos
as Good as Genuine.


Counterfeit Bills Turned Out Almost
as Good as Genuine. s
New Haven, Conn, March 2S.TW0
men supposed to he William Gober
and Samuel Fastow of New York
were arrested early in the day at the
point of a revolver in a boarding
house here, where they had stopped
three days. In their rooms was found
new ccunterfeiting outfit which had
turned out several spurious 81 bills,
the police assert, almost as good as
the genuine.
The police believe that an entirely
new counterfeiting method has been
discovered, as the plan of turning out
bogus bills is a departure from the
engraved plates and other methods
generally employed. The plan APP
parently was to take new bill Of
any denomination, pour fluid said to
be from Russia over the bill and then
stamp the bill on plain sheets of
specially prepared paper. after the
pieces are pressed together for some
time the whole is taken off and
placed on cylinder much the same
as record is placed on, a phono-
graph. This is followed by an cleo
trical process that makes a perfect
reproduction on the white paper and,
after drying process, the bill is
peeled off apparently as good as the
| one from which the copy is made.
The original bill is not spoiled and
the process, it is alleged, can be re-
peated as many times as desired.
