The French investigator NJ. Mascart
arranged a dark room, in which a col
lection of $50 diamonds was placed. On
IL side was al alternating current arc
lamp. The lens was covered with violet
covered glass, SO that only ultra violet
ray were thrown on the diamonds,
among which were several old Indian,
Brazilian and Cape stores, and some
from the South Africa diggings. OF the
entire collection only three diamonds
were phcsphoresccnt. A Brazilian stone
of ia carats and another of 8 carats
showed this property in a marked
degree. They were perfectly white,
with n blush tint. The phosphorescence
lasted for 10 minutes after exposure,
gradually l~essening i'll intensity. Pure
white light was used, resulting in a
less beautiful experiment, although
phosphorcsccncc was apparent. This test
demonstrated that some diamonds, but
not all, possess the power of absorbing
light and emitting it i'll the dark.

The entire court martial lasted only Is

until last night, 70 hours before he was
shot.

DISPUTE With SPAIN.
THE DONS REFUSE TO PAY THE
INDEMNITY ASKED BY AMERI-
CAN SAILORS.
Their Detention Was Preventive and
Not Penal-Many Crafts Were in
Use Supplying Munitions of War %
Cuba and the Mistake Was There
fore Easily Made.

Washington, April 20.-Secretary
Sherman sent to the senate today, in
response to a resolution, the correspond
ence in the case of two American sailors,
Gustave Richelieu of Boston and August
Bolten, who asked Of Spain $4,000 in
demnity each on account of their inn
prisonment for three weeks at Santiago
de Cuba. The sailors claimed that they
were shipwrecked on the coast OF Cuba
Feb. 16, 1894. No charges were prefer
red against them, and after three weeks
they were released one having contracted
rheumatism in prison, the other yellow
fever. Their attorneys presented claims
10 the state department and the case is
still pending, although Spain has twice
refused to pay indemnity. In present.
ing the case to Minister Taylor, Secre-
tary Olney said the treatment of Bolten
was a violation Of treaty st~ipulations,
which provided for the peaceable recep-
ton of American citizens, driven upon
Spanish territory under stress OF wealth
er, and that citizens OF the United
States, taken without arms, should be
tried by the ordinary civil tribunals.
The Spanish minister OF state, in Sep
tember, 1896, replied to Minister Taylor
that the appearance of the sailors in a
boat without clearance papers at about
the time Of the first flibustering expedi-
tons, warranted their arrest, and that
the proceedings against them were the
shortest permitted by the laws; that
their statements did not agree and were
evidently false. and finally that his
majesty's governments finds itself oblig-
to reject in an absolute manner the de-
mand for an indemnity, considering the
case finally and %irrevocably ended"
March l. 1897, the Duke OF Tetuan re-
fused again to open the claim, stating
that many small crafts similar to the
boat in which the two sailors were found
had brought munitions of war to Cuba,
and that their detention was preventive
and not penal. Referring to the treaty
OF 1895. the duke says: "Who will
maintain that these benefits are abso-
lutely unconditional and that they ex-
tend ever to those who bear hostile in
%tentions?" And adds: THE applica-
ton OF the treaty did not suffer any al
teration, but only a justified delay, which
was followed by the full and immediate
application Of the treaty as soon as it
was possible to do So"

KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
How Two Black ltnscals Turned Their

How Two Black RascaIs Turned Their
knowledge to Good Account.
Near one of the gates ut the Union
station ms the long train from Chicago
rolled in stood M old colored man. He
wasbcnt under times burden, and it
was easy to imagine that he was one Of
those relics Of the south, one of those
picturesque characters of old plantation
life, that now live only in the memory.
The great engine was painting after
its long run, and amid the hustle and
confusion of the station the old man
seemed bewildered. Then as the passen-
gers came through the gate they saw q
little act of kindness that touched q
tender chord of sympathy in more than
one heart.
Another cOlored man, who looked as
if he might be II porter, stepped up and
slipped Il quarter in the old mans hand.
Then he quickly made his way off again,
looking half ashamed at his action.
The old man stood looking at the
quarter, wit n smile on his wrinkled
old face, and the next man placed an
other silver piece in his hand. Tho other
passengers followed suit, and the old
hat had to come off to hold the shower
of coin.
Just then the policeman on duty at
the station saw the old fellow and start
ed toward him, but with more agility
than one would have given him credit
for the old man ran in among the
crowd and was lost.
Five minutes later two men were Mt
ting i'll Il saloon i'll Seventeenth street.
They were counting over u pile of small
coins.
