Acting upon a communication from Pro-
visional Governor Magoon, Secretary TAFT
has authorized him to discharge the oSliga-
ton OF Cuoa In the matter of the purchase
OF certain property in Havana belonging to
the Roman Catholic Church, and which has
been occupied continuously since 1901 for
governmental purposes under lease. 1t was
mutually agreed between Governor Magoon
and the church authorities that 81 $50 143
would be a fair price, and that Secretary
Taft has authorized Governor Magoon to
pay. the understanding being that the first
payment shall be 81 100000 in cash, SUISSE
quent ayments to be at the rate o. $lO9 600
per month until the fun amount Is paid.
In his letter to Governor Magoon. Secre-
tary Taft states that there Is no doubt
about the obligation OF the Cuban govern
nent to pay that sum to the church. The
property. he says, Is Indispensable for gov
eminent uses. and II. therefore, will be
greatly 10 the advantage of the Cuban gov
eminent TO secure a good title to Il In fee.
The original contract, by which the use
OF the property was secured for govern-
mental purposes. was entered into by Gen.

FOUND LONG LOST CHILD.
Father Finally Discovered Little One
In Gypsy Camp.

CHICAGO, February 26.-After a search
of nearly a year, in which almost every
gypsy camp in the south and northwest
had been visited, Cecilia Demetro, twelve
years old, daughter of wealthy Greek In
Little Rock, Ark, who had been kidnapped
March 1, 1906. was found yesterday in
camp near Thornton, ILL., The little siri
was given shelter at a police station here
last night. Trace of the girl was obtained
by Leo Demetro, her father. who had
searched for her eight months in vain. Then
he met q gypsy in Salt Lake City who
learned of his sorrow. The man promised
to inform him should he ever hear of the
camp in which the child was held.
Accompanied by four deputy sheriffs
Demetro went to Thornton yesterday. Just
beyond the outskirts of the town is camp
consisting of more than hundred tents. 1t
was there that Cecilia was held prisoner.
When the Greek coppersmith and his COM
panions arrived the girl was playing on the
nrairie with several other youngsters.
Before Demetro could reach his daughter
he was thrust aside by John Joe, king OF
the camp, and who is said to have kldnap-
ed the child Joe burst from tent and
seized Cecilia as she was about to spring
into her fathers arms. In an instant num-
dreds of gypsies were swarmIng out OF
their homes. Demetro seized Gypsy Joe by
the throat.
While they were struggling on the ground
scores Of Joe's followers crowded around
and threatened to interfere, but the sherins
drew their revolvers and seized the nttle
girl. An instant later Demetro regained his
the officers. Awed by the display of weap-
ons the gypsies retreated and the deputy
sheriffs hurried to Thornton, where they
boarded a train for Chicago.

Criminals in Egypt.
From the London Telegraph.


An instance Of the dangerous opera
lions of the capituiations between not an
Egyptian and a European. but between
two Europeans. occurred. writes the
Alexandria correspondent of the Globe. In
one of the principal thoroughfares there
on Sunday night NJ. de Beaupuis. man
ager of the Bank OF Rome. was con-
versing with friend at Z in the evening
on the parapet of the Rue de La Bourse.
Suddenly a man armed with a bludgeon
leaped upon 2Mr: de TBeaupuis and delfv-
cred him two heavy blows on the head.
under which the bank manager sank to
the ground. The assailant fed for his
life, pursued by an angry crowd. and
eventually reached the Anglo Egyptian
Bank, which, though closed to the public
at that hour, had its entrance door open,
guarded by Montenegrin. 1t was then
seen that the would-be assassin was one
OF the same race, and by being under the
roof of q foreign establishment he en-
-joyed perfect immunity from arrest. A
body Of Egyptian police and detectives
stood impotent in the street, unable to
violate the sanctuary chosen by a Euro
pcan miscreant. He is still practically
at large pending the inquiries regarding
the consular jurisdiction to which he is
subject. When that Is ascertained the
machinery for bringing the man to JUS
tice will be expensive and of appalling
circumlOcution.
NJ. de Beaupuis Is lying in a somewhat
serious condition. Had the bludgeon struck
a hairsbreath higher the blow would have
been fatal. The motive of the aggressor
was an act Of revenge at having been re-
fused money at the Bank of Rome on pre-
senting a check against which there were
no funds The incident affords a powerful
argument for Lord Cromers reform.

The Original calendar"
rom the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
To the modern world calendar IL
merely a harmless necessary reminder OF
weeks and days. to be hung up on New
Year day and consulted in dating letters
throughout the year. 1t has no such
mournful sound as "calendarium" had for
the ancient Romans. The original ''calen-
DAT" of their time was the money lenders
account book. so called because interest
was due from the debtor on the calends, or
first day of each month. That Is why
Seneca speaks of calendar as a word In
vented outside the course Of nature on ac-
count of human greed. 1t is word which
may help to persuade US that the world has
grown kindlier.

the prosecution, and former State Senator
Jeffries made their opening arguments, but
there was not much said by either attor-
ney that had not already been told. Coun..
sci for the state said he would claim and
expected to show, that the shots were
fired while Bywaters was in the room, and
not while he was getting out of the win
dow or while he was upon the roof Of the
porch.
This phase of the claim made by the
state was answered by Mr.. Jeffries, who
entered denial He added, however, that
1t would have made no difference il he
had been shot in the room. His argu-
ment was that the conduct Of .Bywaters
