THAT CUNNING CRONIN.
Is He Working a Great
Game on the Public?
HE COULD NOT FOOL CORNWELL
A Chicago "Times" Reporter Was
Too Clever to Be Played for
a Soft Sucker.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, May 12.-James J. Cornwell,
a reporter for the Chicago Times, who is
said by Cronin, in the Toronto interview,
to be the person who introduced the
Doctor to lie Caron, the British spy,
denies emphatically that there is any
truth in the assertion. Cornwell says
that he was detailed once to interview
Cronin on some local Irish matter and
that the Doctor subsequently applied to
Cornwell to have published long article
in which Cronin was made to figure as a
man who was being prosecuted in certain
ways on account of his religion and his
nationality. Cornwell returned the
manuscript. Cronin grew very angry at
the result. Otherwise than in these
incidents, Cornwell knows nothing of
Cronin and never heard of LIE Caron I'M
til the latter's appearance as an informer
in London. The man Charles Long, who
iG said to have discovered Cronin in
Toronto, and who is sending interviews
from there with the Doctor, is the per-
son, Cornwell says, through whom
Cronin, while in Chicago, sent the re-
jected manuscript mentioned above, and
through whom the document was re-
turned to Cronin.
WAS THE TORONTO STORY A FAKE.
New YORK, May 12.-The Morning
Journal Gays that meeting of the Irish
Nationalists, friends of Doctor Cronin,
of Chicago, was held on Sunday
to take steps towards cooperating with
the Chicago Investigators Of his
mysterious disappearance. Letters were
read from Cronin's friends in
Chicago and speeches were made, the
substance of which declared the belief
of his friends that Cronin had
either been abducted or murdered.
The story from Toronto is not believed
many of them thinking it "fake.''
A committee was appointed to
prepare statement of the case
which would enable the public to zee the
necessity of probing the mat
ter to the bottom. 1t was
freely stated that developments 10
the case would result in exposing one Of
the boldest and most startling crimes of
The century.

FAILED TO CONNECT.
The MaripOsa Did Not Garry the Elk
pected Freight This Trip.

SAN Francisco, Msy 12.-The Oceanic
Steamship Company's steamer Mariposa,
which arrived this evening from Austria
liza, via the Samoan Islands, brought
none of the sailors shipwrecked at Sa-
moa in the hurricane of last March.
The Mariposa having lost two days by a
fire in her hold when near Auckland,
did not go into Apia. A small schooner
which met the Mariposa at Tuitilla, on
April Sih, brought few private letters
and a long letter frcm J. P. Dnpning, the
Associated Press correspondent. A
schooner, which is supposed to have on
board the regular mail bag for This port,
and some passengers, and possibly the
shipwrecked sailors, did not mako con
nection with the steamer Mariposa.

THE BERLIN FARLEY.
Eng land Playing the Part of Mid
dIeman In the Teeter.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Times says ::
The Berlin Conference has come to an
agreement in regard to the Samoan Land
Commission question and its side issues,
also as to restricting the consulate in the
supply of firearms and spirits to the
natives. The election of King will be
left to the Samoans. 1t is doubtful if
Germany will yield to the tripartite prin-
ciple of government as, in the council,
England shows no leaning towards
either side, playing the part of the
''honest broker"
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Meas says that the Samoan conference
has agreed that neutral zone
shall be created at Apia, and
that equal rights shall be granted
to all powers with regard to customs.
The correspondent also says that Ger
many has as yet made no claim for an
indemnity, for the killing of the Ger
mans by the natives in Samoa. The
next sitting of the Conference will be ON
Wednesday.

Of his sudden descent to poverty.
