BELONGING TO ADMIRALTY. RECOVERY AFTER SEARCH. Reoeived August 4, 11.5 a.m. LONDON, Aug. 3.

The papers were in a box in the guard’s van and were in the custody of an Admiralty messenger accompanied by a superintendent and overseer.
A later message states that a widespread search resulted iq the recovery of the documents which, owing to the accidental detachment of the address label, were returned to the place of origin.
