EMPRESS.

London, March 3O.--A woman, accom-
panied by a pretty 3-year-old girl, ap-
piled at the Bow Street police court

three years ago the Baroness de Buren,,
alleged to be a relative of the late En-
press of Austria, brought to applicant s
home a young woman 10 wears Of ago,
who, the baroness said, was her sister.
Later, the latter was confined and re-
NAMED three months with a nurse.
The girls mother and sister, who, ac-
cording to the applicant, were living in
an expensive house in the west end of
London. refused to take the child and
told the nurse to send it to a founding
hospital or do what she liked with it.
The applicant, however, was not will
ing to make the child pauper and
kept it. But now the nurse was in such
straitened circumstances that she was
unable to keep it any longer.
The applicant also said that when the
baby was a year old the family went
to San Francisco, where the applicant
knew the father lived. The judge adj
vised the nurse to write to the parents
of the child and notify them that IL
they did not support it, the child must
be sent to the workhouse.

Cargo At Brooklyn.


New York, March 30.-The United
States transport Crook, with the bod
les of 6S6 American soldiers and civil
ians who lost their lives in the Amer
ieanSpanish war; was moored along
side the government dock in Brooklyn
today, and the work of discharging her
cargo was commenced. Captain Buck,
with company of the Thirteenth Unit
ed States infantry, awaited the arrival
Of the vessel.
The work of transferring the remain
der of the caskets from the ship to the
dock will probably occupy the greater
part of three days. as the boxes are
only swung over at the rate of one
every five minutes. When the caskets
reached the floor of the dock they were
put on a litter and carried Ly four men
to different parts of the wharf, so that
Identification by relatives or friends
would be facilitated.
Lieutenant Robinson of Ohio, who
went to Cuba for the purpose of identi-
flying bodies, is i'll with typhoid fever.
He was removed from the Crook to the
Long Island College hospital. The wife
of Brigadier General Ezra Ewers is also
sick. She was removed from the Crook
to the Park Avenue hotel, this city.
