Ninety seven boles were drilled into one of the I plates after the bricks had Iteeen re-' moved. An apeture about three by two feet was made, through which j th* robt<er» dlmbefl and heij>ed themselves to the valuable contents of the; immense steel case. Pounds upon, upon pounds of stamps were taken out j and loaded Into a wagon. That the, men were not discovered in their work and escaped is a marvel, considering the fact that scores of men were working on the floor above and that numerous jiolicemen patrolled the inside and outside of the building. There was a watchman 2u feet away from the door from which the robbers must have made their exit. AFFAIRS IN VENEZUELA Sooth Ameri in Republic Gives Signs of Being Hard Vp. Willemstad. Island of Curacao. Oct. 21 via Hayten cable.)—The sum of te,'X<o became due this month to the United States from Veneuzela on account of mixed American claims, and it lias not been paid. The claims arose out of damages sustained during the revolution of 1592. They were adjudicated between Venezuela and the United States and the former agreed to pay *32,000 per year in quarterly payments, with annual interest on the sinking fund, the payments to be divided pro rata among the American claimants. This is the first Instance where Venezuela has defaulted on a quarterly payment. The military situation on the Tachira frontier apparently remains unchanged. although the scouting and restless activities of General Uribe-Uribe and bis followers may result in an engagement with the Colombian troops of more or less importance any day. Nor is there any change on the Guajira peninsula.

LO’OT IS RETURNED ♦ Queer Trsnssciioi on the Part of Two Lowell. Mass- Bank Clerks. THEIR NERVE EVIDENTLY FAILED Naum Mxi? ’*ay * ,; h Nt ar a Kdiion 0:1lars They Retoro SBOO,OOO Upon Receiitng kssjratcsi That Protection Aplas! Thea Wcud Ba Dropped. I>.well. Ma".. Oct. 22.—The financial trovldes wuieb bad cawed great suspense to the offleers of the Merchants' National bank for three days in consequema- of the disappearance of its teller, Alliert G. Smith, and its book-kisjs-r. G-wis H Swift, have been practically smoothed out. The bonk has lost about slls.’*»'. The direct ors officially state this and at the same they say that they have had returned securities to the amount of Ssuo.ooo. The bank's !<•". it is understood, is made up of two its ms: first, the stealings of the two men during the past two years, as shown by the books, and secondly, that jiart of the cash included in the loot retained by Smith and Swift a' the price of their liargain to return the securities. Tliese securities, as described by one director. were returned in carpet tiags and reprem-nted bonds, notes and other negotiable papers and big bunches of money, all supposed to have been taken from the bank vault just prior to the time the men disappeared on Thursday night. The loot from the bank vaults was returned in carpet bags delivered at the bank yesterday after the liank directors had been in conference at a hotel with Lawyers John C. Burke of this city and Charles W. Bartlett of Boston, representing the men. What the agreement was by which the bank got back the greater part of the plunder will not be stated, but the happiness of ail the l>ank officers, expressed without reserve, indicates the seriousness of the situation prior to the agreement.. Imwyer Burke, when asked if bis clients would lie in danger of prosecution. said: "I know of nothing which would indicate that the young men will lie prosecuted.'* The liank for three days has b*en besieged by customers, but in every case accounts were found to be correct. This makes it impossible, without an official statement, to ascertain wherein the men were short In tTielr accounts. Smith was under Kbt.fMM) bond, but Swift, as bookkeeper, was not supposed to handle money and so was not bonded. Several of the directors have stated that they do not expect Smith or Swift to return here.
