Recovered From n Thief.
The history of the Dutch crown jewels.

Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, is
not generally known, says the London
Times. On September %, 1929. King Will
lam III of Holland left the palace at
Brussels with his court for the chateau
de Laecken, leaving the crown jewels al
Brussels in the care of a few attendants.
Sentries were placed around the palace,
but at the most open place there was no
sentry. and here a thief made his en-
trance and was able TO steal all the jew
els For long time a very high person.
age at court was suspected, and Tor many
months he was followed by detectives.
while the government offered a reward
of 90 900 gulden for the discovery OF the
thief Almost two years later, on July
IS. 1881 certain Jean Roumage appeared
before the Dutch ambassador al Wash
ington and told him he had found the
thief in the person of an Italian named
Palari who was staying with his lover, a
lady of Brussels, in a French inn in New
York.
The American police at the instigation
of the Dutch ambassador, M. de Huygins

Roumage. who had reported the discov-
cry of the jewels to the Dutch ambassa-
dor, had his full confidence. and he went
with the lady of Brussels to recover the
jewels from the churchyard. The lady.
however persuaded him to retain most
of the things and only to give UP por-
tion to the embassy, after which he fled
with her to Philadelphia. and from there
set sail for Liverpool. In Liverpool the
guilty pair were taken on their arrival
by the police, and the jewels. which were
found on their persons. were at length
restored to King William of Holland. The
stolen jewels were valued at more than
100000 gulden.

They would not tolerate a gold man or

FEVER PREVALENT.


Washington, July pa dispatch
received last night by Adjt Gen. Cor.
bin says that 800 new cases OF fever of
all classes were reported In his camp
before Santiago Saturday. As the
same dispatch reports only four deaths
and none Of them from yellow fever
from among the hundreds OF cases OF
fever known to exist in the camp,
the war authorities are more than
ever inclined to the belief that the
cases Of yellow fever are Of mild type.
Previous dispatches from Gen. Shafter
and the medical officers OF his corps
have indicated the existence in the
camp of very large number Of cases
Of malarial fever and dengue fever,
the latter being peculiar to the Cuban
climate. Some clear cases Of yellow
fever are reported, but the officials
say they are few as compared with
those of other fevers.
Gen. Skaters dispatch, as made pub
lie by Adjt Zen. Corbin, follows:
Number Of new cases Of fever Of all classes
for yesterday approximately 800 Deaths not
previously reported: Private Daniel A. Stone
company D, First Illinois infantry typhoid
fever. July 20; Sergeant j. Blair, regimental
quartermaster Twelfth infantry, died July 90
Of dengue fever and asthenia; and on July %
Of malarial fever Privates William Peacock
and CARAT Learnesheck both OF company T.

No such charge is recorded In MIS-
tory as that made upon the stone fort
and the blockhouses browning the
hills OF Ell Caney. There have been
engagements between trained troops
and savage races in the jungles Of In.
dia and on the hills of South Africa
Of late years that conveyed in .
slight manner the possibilities Of mod
ern weapons. But these battles fought
by the Fifth army corps have been the
first in which large bodies Of civilized
troops on both sides have been en-
gagged with all the implements Of mod
ern warfare, and the result is bound
to be rightly instructive to the mill
tary student and to extort admiration
for the splendid fighting qualities Of
the United States soldiers from the
most unwilling critics.
TROOPS TO GO WITH WATSON.
Washington, July 95-After an ex-
tended consultation the war board has
practically decided to send part Of
the army with the eastern squadron.
This squadron will leave for the Ca
naries and Spain after Porto Rico is
we'll invested. There are two strong
reasons for sending troops to the Ca
naries. First, as Watson's mission
cannot be performed in short time,
and he may prowl about the Spanish
coast for weeks, base of supplies
nearer to the scene of his activities
than any place in the United States or
Cuba is necessary; second, as the
United States has definitely decided to
take at least one of the Canary islands
for permanent naval base there
will be no opportunity of Selling and
occupying the island other than Is
offered by Watson's prospective trip
to the east The navy department,
incidentally. is anxious to round out
the Spanish garrison At Ponce and
Guayama, for in view Of their inferi.
ority, it is believed by experts that the
enemy will not resist, but attempt to
retreat eastward via Cayey to San
Juan. Gen. Miles brilliant plan OF
campaign is such that it would be ut.
terly impossible for the Spaniards in
outlying towns to reach San Juan, or
for the Spanish military commander
Of the capital to send reinforcements
to the interior garrisons without be.
