Tho prisoner is installed*In a pleasant room, but ho cannot leave _; it, and « policeman remains permanently in an adjoining room, and by opening a door he is able to watch all tho gestures and movements of tho prisoner. Yesterday a bulky package arrived addressed to M. Caillaux, which, on betna ' opened, turned out to be a pasty. The gaoler, whoso duty it was to examine everything sent to the prisoner, admired the savoury crust, but he was 6truck ?„ by tho size of tho pasty. It was large enough, In fact, for twenty jnicsts. Care- ■ ' fully ho raised the crust and introduced k needle into tho succulent moat beneath it, but met with strong resistance. Telephoning to his chief, he informed him of his anxiety, and was ordered to continue his investigations. Obeying the orders of his superior, ho cut tho paety in two pieces, nnd discovered a. carefully hid'den rono ladder, file, passport, nnd fiomo bank notes: also a letter very much after the Cannon 6tyle inviting Joseph—or should it!» Don JoseP —to saw through the liars of his window, come down into the garden, and then join his friend, not on the ram-, parts of Seville, but at tho Bull Ring at San Sebastian. The. letter continues: "I em not signing my name, but am waiting for you, and we will both refuse to tako advantage of tho amnesty."
