DE wAGsTAFFEs DIVORCED.


The end of one romance of the Ever
glades which interested New York q
little over three years ago this month,
has come prosaically 10 the Providence
Plantations, where divorce has beer
gras,ed to Evelyn de WagstafIc, for.
merly OF New York, from William de
Wagsta1e, who at one time made him
self widely, if not favorably, known
about town ss "Barou" de Wagstatie.
Mrs. de Wsgstafle was Miss Evelyn
O'Brien. She is niece OF member OF
he British Parliament For half b
dozen years prior to 1894 she had lived
Practically as an adopted daughte- with
Mr. and Mrs Henry p. Kingsland, OF
l02 east Nineteenth street. New York
She accompanied Mrs. Kingsland to ST..
Augustine, Fla, iu the middle OF
March, 1894 and they put up at the
Hotel Sau Marco. Baron" de Wag.
static was then working as reporter
or the ST. Augustine Daily Press. He
vas about 80 years old. Miss O'Brien
was 90 Wagstaffe was tall and of light
complexion. Miss O'Bren was fair
.nd was described as having remark
.bly beautiful face. De Wagstaffe's
father had been made baron by Vic.
tor Emanuel and the son stuck to
he title, or stuck the title to himself.
Miss O'Brien and the baron met. Mrs.
Kipgsland also had seen the baron
TO hn fn
yard the end of March. she left st.
Augustine for Charleston, taking Mis-
O'Brien with her. Presently the baron
appeared in Charleston. Miss O'Brien
was to start north on the 9th. She
started. Later in the day Mrs. Kings
land received note from de Wag
static, saying that ne and Miss O'Brien
we're going to be married. The we'd
ling had already taken place when the
note reached Mrs. Kingsland., The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr.
rrappier, of st. Michael's Church
Charleston. The de Wagstaffes came to
the Hotel Bartholdi, in New York, on
April 4, and on April 10 moved over t.
ne Hotel Gerlach. The fact OF the
marriage did not leak out here until
May /. When it became known that
ie Wagstatle was married and was in
town so many people called to see him
hat he cleared out. Mrs. de Wagstafle
mad no money of her own. In q few
nonths she was obliged to part with
aer jewels, and when everything avail
lble on which TO raise money was gone
sle returned to Mr.. and Mrs. Kings
lands home. In the summer of 1895
Mrs. Kinssland went to Newport aud
Narragansett Mrs. de Wagstaffe &c
companied her, and has since remained
in Rhode Island, making her residence
in Providence with the intention Of Sc
curing a divorce. The decree was
granted on April 10 last in Providence
by Judge Tillinghast, the grounds ior
it being desertion and non-support.

CRISIS At PORT Al PRINCE
TWO GERMAN CRUISERS ENTERED
THE PORT PREPARED TO DO
BUSINESS.
| GERMAN ULT|MA1UM DELIVERED
Government Given Eight Hours In
Which to Grant the Demands.
II In Believed Hayti Will
Comply with Demands. "a

Port au Prince, Dec. 6.-The trouble
between Germany and Hayti as result
of the arrest and imprisonment Of Herr
Lueders, an alleged German subject,
reached crisis today. Two German
cruisers entered this port during the morn
ing and an ultimatum from the German
government was delivered to the Hay
tan government giving the latter eight
hours in which to grant the demands of
Germany for an indemnity to Herr Lued-
ers. The members of the diplomatic
corps here believe the government Of the
republic has decided to accept the condi-
tons of Germany.
In anticipation of the trouble the citi-
zens of German nationality sought refuge
yesterday on board two steamers which
were Mt this port, and the French steam
err Vile de Marseille has been requisi-
toned by the French minister in order to
serve as place of refuge for French cit
liens. The Vile de Marseille has ar
rived here direct from Puerto Rico. The
population of this place Is In state of
great excitement, but the Haytian gov
eminent has strong forces of troops Mt its.
disposal and is resolved to maintain or

6p. m.-The population Of this city late
this afternoon, when this cablegram Is
sent, appeared quiet, and the present in
dications seem to confirm the news cabled
earlier today, that the government would
accept the terms imposed by Germany
so far as an indemnity Is concerned, and
II is probable that, yielding to. superior
force and in order TO avoid international
troubles, the government will accept the
conditions

Ruins of m Unknown CITY Many
Centuries Old Discovered.

The ruins of an ancient city many
centuries old, inhabited by race whose
name and origin has no record in the an
nails of history, has been discovered in
Guatemala. The shape of the drinking
and cooking utensils found in the struct-
ires composing what was evidently the
residence portion of the city, and the
chalices and other sacred vessels in the
temples and fanes, are entirely devoid of
the characteristics of Aztec and Toltec
antiquity. But, however they may vary
in these particulars from other ancient
articles, they bear general resemblance
to the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers inasmuch as they have well served
the purpose for which they were made.
The ineffectiveness of the ancient gripping
remedies of the pharmacopoeia for con-
situation, for example, as contrasted with
the thorough, painless action of the Bit
tiers is very marked. This superb alter

Dallas. Tex. Dec. 6.-(Special.)-
Whitecaps have made their appearance
again south of the river, about seven
or eight miles from town, and have or.
dered negro tenants and even negroes
who own their land to leave the conn-
try under pain of death. a negro named
Ernest Jones was in the city today and
told hard luck story of this sort. He
was ordered to abandon his cabia and
patch of ground at once, and all negroes
in the same neighbOrhood have been
whitecapped. according to Jones. This
negro. who is said to he industrious and
reliable, says that shots were fired into
the house of a negro in his neighhor
hood Sunday night. The only inmate
was the wife of the owner, who was
greatly intimidat ted and badly frightened
as one ball grazed her face. He was
told to go before the grand jury and
make statement.
