Postoffice Inspector Fletcher is being deluged with inquiries in regard to a wealthy man who is a < prisooer in Spain, and who is desir us of enlisting the sympathies and financial assistance of some Americans in obtaining for his handsome daughter her right®. The game that has aroused all these inquiries is almost as old as the green g ods or bunco methods of raising m ney, nut it is apparent that many people of this city have not yet heard of it. A number of business men over the state have received a daintily written letter from Barcelona, Spain, setting forth that the written has heard of the of the letter as an honest man and a generous, genera] all round chantable man and individual. Continuing, the letter says that the writer has much money in a New York bank, the name of which is not mentioned, but that at present be is in prison •n Spain, on mo cat if the warfare that be conducted against Spain in .Cuba. He has succeeded in smuggling the letter out of prison, through the g >od offices f a friend- ‘ lv priest and would have the reader

assume the guardianship of his handsome daughter, who is in a convent, and see that she gets the money in the New York bank To do this it is necessary that the reader shall advance some money but this will be repaid when his daughter has her rights. The swindle has been worked for several years, but it has been impossible for the American author.ties t: get hold of the person in Spain who is engineering it.
