Protest AgaiD.t seizure

one of the owners of the Spanish tug
boat Humberto, Rodriguez, which was
brought to this port yesterday as a war
prize, will file a protest against the seiz-
ure of the ship. He says that the Hum
berto was in the service or the Red Cross
when captured and should not therefore
be held as lawful prize. Argilagos is an
American citizen. Under the laws of
Spain foreigners were not allowed to own
ships for navigation between Cuban ports.
For this reason the Humberto carried the
Spanish flag. Argilagos thinks that If the
ship is disposed of as a war prize. he,
as an American citizen, will get his share
from the proceeds Of the sale.

Topeka. Kas.. Aug. 10.-The story that
Kansas farmers are raising a fund to
recoup Joe Letter for his losses in the
wheat deal. because the advance in prices
through his influence on the markets had

Some opposition is developing to the
use of smokeless powder by the navy.
A gentleman who is interested in the
manufacture of high explosives said to
a Times reporter this morning that some
influence seemed to be at work against
any change being made.

is that this smokeless powder leaves the
army or the vessel using it a clear target

Their Daughter.

Max Schwartz and Gertie
Schwartz, who, in Russia five
years ago, decided that theif
marriage had been a failure,
were reunited in wedlock last
Sunday at Philadelphia. This
second marriage was brought
about by their daughter, a brave
little woman Of 20 years, who
came to this country soon after
her parents were divorced. Two
years ago she sent her father
money to pay his passage to free
America.
He gladly came over, and has
been living with his daughter.
AS the months went by father
and daughter decided that they
would be happier if the mother
were here, too, and early in the
Summer they sent money to her
for the passage. She has been
here but a couple of week, and
Sunday she went with her for
mer husband to receive the Ii
cense that made them once more
