Particulars' are to hand of a daring and cleverly executed robbery on board 1 a German liner plying between China and Japai and England, by which a Chip's mall was 'broken open and seve? ral, thousands of pounds abstracted. 'X'he details of the conspiracy, which 'was carried out by three German sai? lors, have transpired through the arrest at Vienna of one of ithe conspirators, Who had deserted from his ship, and, rwMh his ehare of -the plunder, managed Pp 'o. roundabout way to reach the Aus -;'itrlan capital. .There he confided to a v'-rvaiter that ho had a larire sum of jtionoy and wished t>i statt in business, nut a detective, noticing' that the sai? lor seemed extraordinarily "llush" of money, and observing him chnnge .1 hundred-florin note In a cafe, arrested him .111 suspicion of being concerned in a robbery. The sal Vor eventually con? fessed to being a participator, though not direc tly, in the great robbery on board 'the ship, his shave of the plunder bavin:; boon given to him as "hush money," He was examined on oath and bis evidence disclosed .that a very care? fully planned rubbery had taken place. According to his story, two of the {bai? lors took him Into their confidence and imparted to him 'the secret of gaining access to the mail rOTra on the shin and which contained consignments of specie for English llrms. It was ar? ranged before itlie vessel sailed that if any gold were taken on board the mail room should he broken ln:'> and the money abstracted. The doors of mail rooms are locked automatically with a spring when .pushed to, but the robbers, the ringleader i t whom has, It is seated, been at ;hc game before, succeeded In Overcoming the obstacle. Tin; bolts of the folding doors -wore nil secretly dis? placed so effectually that, although the door was afterward closed !>y the ?oilleer, it did hol prevent anyone from raising the door from the outside. On the night or the tli-ft the rlnglcad r reached the folding door by climbing likoillic sail cal in through a trap in the deck. He then unlocked a iv.len den- leading into >tho cargo hold, which was separated from the mail room by tiie folding door, which he then raised, and so gained access into the mail room. The sailor, who has been arrested, and who has given this accjurvt of the rot, bsry, was on watch during the theft. He says he dors not know how the ring? leader broke open tho box containing the motley, but he admits that the j ringleader toW him he had. an impres? sion of the sea-Is and that ho could rhoke them again. The weight of lh< ?box when emptied of Its content- was made up by refilling It with bullets, which ail three perpetrators had se? cretly 'brought on board before leav? ing port. Tin; arrested sailor says ho was in such terrible, fear thai during the two hours or his watch when he was not steering he had ito lie down in the rudder house and net as 'though he were asleep. Subsequently ho saw Hie ringleader, who told him ;h it lrr had been working at the theft during the whole four hours of 4he watch. He also t'.dd the prisoner that bis share of the gold was secretly hidden in 'thq rudder house, and described where lid could lindf t. ami later on *.-. , rls oner did find his booty, tis directed.
