,rezI. Canada, on the charge OF steaiiha
tho famous "Carranza letter IN May
lNH IL viii be remembered that the iettei
roserrea 70 was written by Lieutenant
csrranza. who was an attache OF tht
spanish legation in Washington when wal
ngsshst Spain was declared by this coun-
t,y. and who went to Montreal 20 conduct
a system Of espionage on behalf OF ms
xcaacrnmont. In the communication, which
was addressed 20 a high official OF the
Spanlsh Navy Department, Carran2a nl'''e
the damaging statement that ne was
xaaRaaang a bureau Of spies, ana, more
pyer. volunteered some severe cTulclsii
of Admiral Camsra and other Emporium
Spanish naval officers.
On representations made by our gov
pTnnlent, CaSranza and MS sttJi were e.
pelled from Canada by me BRUSH "u
thorffas. and now comes the sequel.
Rssoh Raosern IS the man who secured
C.rrapza's discriminating COMMUNICATION
ae,lnp under instructions OF Chief W1lkie,
OF tha United States Secret STvice' Re-
eSr<iv however, q Montreu man named
Gc0rCe II. Bell made public voluntary
confession that nc had stolen che letter.
Ale declared that the one In possession
OF our government was forged and thal
tho aamagine portions OF IT were inserteu
ny our Seayee-SeIVice men. Bell Is de-
xenatd by r. {. St. Pierre, MONTREAL
aksyvney. WHO alss represented Carfanza
Iast yeas. 81. PtSsse is occupying para
doxdcsi nosicton, in that he has asserted,
in open COURT, that his present client ~
guilty. This astonishing situation Is puI-
ynny Washington officials, but yesterday
they received Information which furnishes
evidence TO tho effect that the entire
proaaodiRg Is but the first chapter OF
bIot hatched by Carrnnza.
PRESENT OAAHaiNZA PLOT.
1t .eeep1s that the Spanish Lieutenant
has Sled clsim.for damages against the
British Government for his expulsion
from Canada last year. lie believes, 1t
is thovght that n Bell is convicted IL will
be a long step towards establishing the
ingeBuOusness Of the letter which Red
fern purloined. and towards eNoneTating
him (Carran2a)- from declaring that no
was a spy. and from criticisjng high OIL
oials IA Madrid. for which he may DO
degraded and severely punished. More-
over. Bells conviction would tend TO fur
Iish a bssss for the Iieutenants recov-
cry Of damages from Great Britain.
UsAless the farce now IN progress In
Montreal n exposed. there seems 70 be a
chance shat a most interesting inteIna-
tional lawsuit VIII soon follow. IL that
went the United States Government Will
90 prepored 20 prove that It has Car
ranza;s original letter in its ppsgessiou.
and that Bell is an adventurer, who may
be willing 10 be convicted Of INSIDE
rneanor for purpose best known TO him
self
NOr REALLY FELLOW-FDVER?
No moro deaths and no new cases Of
alleged yeal0V-fever at the Hampton Sol
diers' Rame have been reported to the
Surgeon General Of the Marine Hospital
Service This is the third day with d
similar record, and tho belief is becom-
ing strong In the minds Of many that the
disease witch broke out some ten days
ago, aud from which only seven deaths
have resulted. Is not genuine yellow-fever.
The situation, as il is expressed, is so
encouraging to the Marine Hospital Ser
vice that il feels assured that the cpl
deInio at the Hampton Homo will be sup
pressed within a reasonable time.
Private letters received here by Mr. J.
D. Darden, one Of the pYoprietors of the
Chamberlln Hotel. state that all alarm az
Old Point has subsidized, and that the
quarantine between the Point and Nor
the chlojals at the War Department are
Of the opinion that the removal Of the
troops az Fort Monroe to some northern
point is unnecessary. Others agree that
the disease at the home is a malignant
type Of malarial-feVer, and not at all
yoilow-fever
UNNECESSARY ALARM.
The District health authorities are UNI
necessarily alarmed about passengers
coming TO this city through Richmond,
because some, they imagine, may have
gone 20 the latter city from che alleged
yellOy-feVer distpct. All the southern
trains are Being watched. and the travel
lers aFe questioned by the train inspec-
tors. ana required in some cases 90 show
clean bills " health before they are al
LEVIED To land in The city. Great numbers
OF southern tourists have arrived In this
city from Richmond and so far as they
arc concerned she local health officers
have no power 90 deta.n them, unless
ihey admit having previously been in
places against which the city is quaran-
tinsa. Those coming from Richmond are
''all right"
