PARIS, June 26.-Another scandal has
come tc light, and as q result two en-
ployes Of the Ministry Of Marine have
been arrested on charge of stealing doc
uments relating to the mobilization of
the fleet From proofs in the possession
of the authorities it seems clear that the
documents were lent to foreign diplo-
mats, who photographed them, and, after
returning the originals, sold the photo
craps to ambassadors of Germany and
Italy.
An official investigation has been
made, and it is stated that the diplomatic
photographer is Captain Borup, a mill
tary attache Of the United States Lega-
ton.
Grenier, ono of the men arrested, de-
clares that Captain Borup bought the
plans of the delenses and communicated
them TO Germany and Italy T. Jetfer-
son Coolidge, the American Minister, has
written a formal letter to Captain Borup
in regard to the charge made against him
by Grenier. Captain Borup denies that
he communicated anything to Germany
or Italy. He will not say whether he
sent the documents to Washington, but
admits that Grenier gave him certain
documents. His response to Cooidge's
request for an explanation is an emphatic
protest against the charge that he commu-
ricated anything to Germany or Italy.
Grenier was arrested as he was entering
Borup's residence.
The officers did not express surprise at
BOrup'S connection with the affair. They
declare that he has been under suspicion
mi hnt no ,.if
could obtain no positive proof which
would warrant them in making charges
against him.
THE CHARGES GROSS CALUMNIES.
PARIS, June 26.-T1empS to-day pub
fishes an interview with Captain Borup,
United States military attache here, in
which he repeats that the charges mad @
against him by Grenier are gross calum-
MES. Captain Borup says the inquiry
which he demands will not fail to estab-
lish his innocence. The case eXcites the
greatest interest here, and the newspapers
are extremely bitter against Captain Be-
rup.
