Letters from Thieves and Koaves Still Received by the Father. PHILADELPBIA, July 29, 1874, Tt is generally belleved that the kidnappers have resumed their correspondence with the father of the little one. Otherwise it 1s dimcuit to under- stand the present movements of the police. All the channels through which that correspondence ras been previously carried on are again under a reticence concerning al! their movements, how- ever, aud one is often at a loss to comprehend ex- actly wnat they mean, but from the present ope- Tations of the force it ts thought that the coire- spondence bas actually been renewed or that there are strong suspicions that it will be re- opened at an early date. Whether this ts so or not 16 18 certain that MYSTERIOUS LETTERS continue to pour in on the father of the missing boy. They may or may not be written by the real kidnappers, and it ts certain that many of them are not. If these letters are to be credited the boy isin several States of the Union at the same time. There 1s one persistent writer irom Wor- cester, Mass., who would do an act of mercy if he would stop writing,: The great number of conf- dence men that this case has developed is some- thing startling to contemplate. In all cases the writers of the letters say, ‘send us the money,’ or “deposit the money and give us time to draw A decree was issued by the Postmaster at Ha- vana on the 22d inst., requiring all letters for the United States and Europe to be prepaid (ten cents Spanish currency), and pass through the Post Office at Havana, the mail closing two hours be- fore the sailing of the steamers. As there its no postal treaty between the United States and Spain, the consignees of the different steamships have heretoiore received all letters for the United States and Europe to witam an hour of the steamer’s sailing, without and forwarding the same. The order creates dis- satisfaction and causes » great deal of inconve- Dience to the merchants here. The opinion pre- vails among some oO! the people that the Spanish guverrment wishes to inspect the correspondence forwarded to the United States, while others say It 18 to create a revenue which they estimate at 1,000,000 per year. \ ace the ist of June the Post Office authorities ‘Havana bave demanded (and collected) twelve and a half cents, silver, for all prepaid letters coming from the United States, and twenty-five cents, silver, on all prepaid letters from Europe, The authorities here claim they have the same | right to claim prepayment of postage on mail iakter as the gvernivent ofthe United States. 8T, DOMINGO Report of a Revolutionist Movement in St. JagomA Commission to Hayti and Then Home.

A POSSIBLE CLEW DISCOVERED. ALLENTOWN, Pa., July 29, 1874, The excitement here regarding the Ross case fully equals in intensity the feeling in Philadel- phia. The reported presence of the kidnappers in tie neighborhood had caused a commotion un- equatied for yeura. The presence of a Philadelphia detective also contributes greatly toward this re- sult. The story of the mysterious carriage and its occupants, as told by William Able, is as follows :— THE STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES. On Tuesday, July 7, « closed ¢artiage, drawn by two jaded horses, drew up in front of the First Na- | tonal Bank in this city, underneath which, in the | basement, ts the barber shop of William Able, | known generally as “Fancy Bill,” who makes this statement.

The demeanor of the boy was that of bewilder. Ment, and he neither spoke, laughed nor cried, Paying little heed to what was said to him appar- eutiy. When the carriage stopped in front of the bank building the appearance of the strange horses and carriage and the rather restiess cou- duct of the parties excited the atsention of Mr. Joseph StomMet, who was standing by, and whe took particular notice of the boy, both before the parties entered the barber snop and after they came out. WAS THIS CHARLEY ROSS? Comparing the child of this event with the Pha tographs since published of Charley Ross, Mm StoMlet and Mr. Abie, the barber, are confident of the identity of the two, The parties entered their carriage and drove off, nothing surther being thought of the occurrence until later, when the excitement connected with the Ross abduction arose. ing carefully pondered over what he had Haris seen, and alter comparing his recollection of thi boy at the barber's shop with the description P, pictures of tne abducted Ross boy, Mr. Stoffiet wrote to Pniladeiphia, the other day, stating hit belief that he could furnish a possible clew to the mystery. n response to this letter a member of the Phila. deiphia detective force came to this city last even- | ing, and this morning he and Mr. StomMet bad an interview at the EKagie Hotel, the result of which | Mr. StoMet, who kindly supphed our reporter with | the particulars as far as we have above related, says had better not be published for the present. these ciews to the carriage aud parties after ; they left tnis city, will be followed up, and may or may not link together a chain of ctreume stances that will lead to tue desired discovery.
