carriers are under arrest following an
investigation which Postoffice Inspec-
tor Hathaway says shows that the let
ter carriers had been engaged in a
wholesale and systematic theft OF let
ters and valuables from the San Juan
postoffice.
The two letter carriers are Fran
cisco Calverin and Panic Gonzales,
both of them federal civil service en-
ployes.
In the trunk belonging to Calverin
the officers found bundle Of currency
containing approximately $4,000, and
composed of bills of from $40 to $50
each. Watches. revolvers, jewelry and
other articles which are believed to

postoffice were found in the posses
sion of the two carriers. Much OF the
supposed stolen goods. the postoffice
authorities claim, came through the
mail from the United States.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 27.-The
destruction, few days ago, OF Brit
ish submarine of the cruiser class,
was due largely to the fact that on a
captured French submarine, the Tur-
quoise, were found certain secret in
structions concerning the operations
of the allied submarine fleet in the Sea
of Marmora. These documents, be-
sides naming the Marmora coast
points where supplies could be OBJ
tanned by the allied submarines, also
threw light on the movements OF
these vessels. In pursuance OF the in
formation thus obtained, the German
submarine U. B.-14 waylaid the British
undersea cruiser, and sent a torpedo
into her side. Twenty-four men We're
