BERLIN. Sept. 11.-Carleton Graves.
the American tourist and amateur pno-
tographer who was arrested at Mayence
last week on the pretense that he was a
spy, but really because he had in his
possession some negatives of the en-
peror, and who was released through
the efforts of the American consul, com
plains that he was rudely treated by the
German police who arrested him. His
property was searched and many plates
and pictures were seized and DESTROYED.
He says he was in the company at the
time of physician of Mayence, and in
spite of the latters explanation, the po-
lice arrested them both. The American
consul was compelled to wait two hours
before he was allowed to see Mr.. Graves
and protested vainly against his being
locked in prison cell. Further inves-
tigation will be made by the American
legation into the treatment of Mr..
Graves, and should the circumstances
of the case justify it, complaint will be
made to the German government

Baron Favn in Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-Private adj
vices received here from Rome make it
appear that Baron Fava, the italian ex-
minister at Washington, who got his
government into an awkward contro-
versy with the United States over the
New Orleans riots and was recalled
breaking off diplomatic relations be-
tween the two governments, has been
placed under accusation for appro.
priating to his own use money allowed
for the rent Of the legation mansion in
this city. Italians say that being placed
under accusation" is equivalent to be-
ing indicted. It is explained that the
minister was allowed by his country
$751; year for the rent of palace. I"
While here. however, he occupied rooms
in very modest house, which, it is
said, cost him very small sum each
month. Persons who entertained no
very friendly feelings for him called the
attention Of the Italian government to
the matter, and pictures Of the house in
which he had his rooms have been taken
and sent to Italy. It is said also that
the prime minister had an investigation
made to determine how much style his
minister kept up while here. His being
put under accusation was the result
OF course it is known here that Baron
Fava lived in very modest quarters, but
the accuracy of the statement that his
government allowed him 80, 900 a year
for the rent is something Marquis Ru-
DIM knows most about.
