Spain Ordered to Stop Selling Gu
ban prOperty

ban Property.
1t is stated at the War Department that
the sale by Spaniards of government
property in Cuba for the benefit of the
Spanish treasury or of the officers MAX
ing the sale had been stopped by the
United States. This practice has grown
to such proportions that Major Gen. But
Ter in private letter to Secretary Alger
called attention to the matter and also
10 the fact that protests from the Ameri-
can Commissioners against these illegal
sales were unheeded by the Spaniards.
Expensive guns of modern type, the
valuable machinery in the government
workshops and small gunboats were be-
ing sold by the Spaniards or being pre-
pared for shipment to Spain. The mat
ter was laid before the President by Sec
retary Alger and through the French
embassy, the diplomatic channel of COM
munication with Spain, notice was sent
to Madrid that either this property must
be left intact or its value in money would
be collected from Spain before the sign
ing of the peace treaty.
This sharp reminder to Spain of her
the desired effect. and it is promised that
there will be no further attempts to dis
mount batteries or to remove government
property that belongs to the Island of
Cuba.
The United States is also determined
that there shall not be another Maine
disaster in Havana harbor when our
troops begin to go there Tor garrison du-
ty The American Commissioners who
are arranging the details or the evacua-
ton have called on the Spanish authori-
ties for an official statement to the effect
that there are no torpedoes or mines in
the harbor. This official document was
demanded despite the fact that the
American Commissioners had received in
formation from other sources that all ex-
plosives had been removed from the har-
bor
The purpose of securing the official as
surances on this point was to fix the re-
sponsibility in case there should be an
other accident like that to the Maine
when the American men-of-war and
transports begin to arrive there.

Welded HER VICTIM.
Woman Confidence Workers. Plan to
Escape Prison.

Boston. Oct. 27-Mrs. Vest, formerly
Miss Grace Barrons, the young woman
who last June was placed under arrest
at North Adams, on the charge of using
the mails in a scheme 10 defraud, has
created another sensation.
Grace, who is a handsome woman,
about twenty-three years of age, placed
an advertisement in matrimonial
paper some time previous 10 her ar
rest. She was in search of a husband
with plenty of money.
The paper fell into the hands of Will
lam A. Vest, of Beaumont, Texas, who
is about forty-six years old. He cor
responded with the young woman. and
told her of his wealth. good looks and
religious inclinations. He bit at the
bait.
She replied, telling him that his love"
letter had telling effect upon her
affections.
Grace wrote her far-away lover that
she was in straitened circumstances,
and that she would like 10 marry him
as soon as possible. But. she said, il
would be necessary for him 10 send her
money for her fare TO his city in Texas
Her request was honored, and a sum of
money was sent to her.
Suddenly there was lull in the letter
writing from North Adams; and after
making several attempts TO get a reply
the lover" discovered that he had
probably been victimized.
The postoftce inspectors were asked TO
investigate the matter here. In short
time 1t was learned that Miss Grace was
doing a heavy business through the mai 5
from different sections of the country Ii
led to her arrest at North Adams on
June g.
She was brought to Boston. arraigned
and held in $500 for the grand jury For
a short time she was in jail, but was
finally allowed TO go on her own recogni-
zance for her appearance before the jury
On September %. an Indictment was re-
turned against her and on September 27
she failed to appear in the United States
district court to answer TO the indict-
ment
I he default was entered against her,
and her non-appearance created sur
prise. When she was allowed to go she
made a sacred" promise that she would
be in court when wanted. Her pleasing
and genial manner won for her many
friends among the officials
Not a word was heard from her until
yesterday, when Postoffice Inspector
Snow found a letter In mis- mail from the
"lOyer" at Beaumont. Texas
To the inspectors surprise he learned
that the young woman journeyed to that
city from Boston after she was released
and married the man who preferred the
charges against her and caused her to
lodge short time at that jail. Inclosed
with his letter was another written by
his wife, the former Grace Barrons 1t
showed that they lived but short time
together, and now that they have separ-
ated Vest wants to cause her arrest and
eXtradition to Massachusetts, TO be tried
on the indictment which was found
against her.
That cannot be done however. as she
has carried out the promise she made in
her letter to Vest. which was to marry
him. The complainant against Grace
must find some other ground to again
cause her arrest in this State
