MRS. DRAYTON WILL FIGHT.
Her Friends Oialm That She VIII Dis.
prove Hsr Husbabd's Assertions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8. - Today's World
says In connection with the Drayton di-
vorce case: There are several points to
Mrs. Drayton's story and every point has
the interest of being new and now made
public for the first time. To begin Mrs.
Drayton not only does not regret the
bringing of the divorce suit by her hus-
band, but received the news of it gladly,
and arranged that the papers might be
served on her expeditously.
Mrs Drayton not only will contest the
divorce suit, but will fight it to the bitter
end. Mrs. Drayton will answer Mr. Dray-
tons petition for a divorce with a cross
petition, alleging unfaithfulness on his
part and gross violation OF his marriage
VOWS. She will enter general and spe-
cific denial of all his charges against her,
and will bring what her friends regard as
proof positive that she has been maligned.
She precipitated the divorce proceedings
by deliberately bringing a suit for the
custody OF her children. All these facts
are true beyond peradventure, her friends
say, and when they are confirmed by the
filing of her cross petition and by the tes-
timony at the trial, the confirmation will
be so sensational that the statement of
the bare facts will seem very tame
Hallett AsSop Borrowe, the correspond
ent in the case, was seen in his Office at
the car house of the New York division of
the New Jersey Traction company, of
which he is superintendent. He said:
The charges made in Mr. Drayton's po.
tition are false, absolutely false. That is
all L have to say in the IN after "

GOING BACK TO BLuEFIELDs.
American Refugees VIII be Taken There
by the Columbia

by tho Columbia.
COLON, Sept. s.--The United States war
ship Columbia has been ordered to CON
vey the American refugees at Port I.imon
back to Bluefelds, Mosquito territory.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Admiral Ram
saw acting secretary of the navy, when
shown dispatch from Colon saying that
the steamer Columbia had been ordered
to convey the American refugees from
Port Limon back to Bluefelds said that
no order had been issued from Washing
ton to that effect and that IL must have
come from our representatives In or near
Nicaragua. few days ago when the
Columbia arrived at Port Limon to take
coal Captain Sumner telegrsphed Ad-
miral Ramsey and asked If there were
any further instructions and the admiral
answered that there were, none. Captain
Sumner informed the admiral what had
been done, but said nothing 8 to any con-
templated action. Admiral Ramsay says
that the general instructions of Captain
Sumner are sufficient to cover all contin-
gencies and that il the commander of the
Columb bia decided 1t was best to return
the American refugees at Port Limon to
Bluetields he had full authority to do so.
Tho state department is investigating
the alleged seizure by the Nicaraguan
government of II vessel owned by Anleri-
cans, and which it is said was used TO
transport the prisoners captured at Blue
fields to Colon. The Nicaragua govern
ment, it is understood, claims that the
vessel was under control of a company
and that this company leased it to the
Nicaragua government. The dispute
seems to be between the owners of the
vessel and the company which claimed
control of it. II this Is the case il is
hardly question for the state depart
ment TO decide.

$4,000. They charge that fraud and mis-
representation were used to induce them
to sell the Mckinley niue to the company
in order to induce plaintiffs to go into tho
consolidation. The papers in the suit say
the Rockefeller people promised that all
mines should 20 in on one bnsis, accord
ing to the amount of ore in sight .nnd that
at the very time Of negotiations the Rock
efellcr combination was scheming to take
on II lot of other mines, including some in

the plaintiffs parted with $500, 900 of prop
erty for stock in the consolidation, not
worth over $l2O, 600
