STORY PARTLY CONFIRMED.
Out to Some Extent by Of
fetal Records.

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-The officials of
the state department have been interested
In the remarkable story of the artist Ben
theim at Atlanta of his connection with
the German secret service. The point in
his narrative that particularly attracts at
tention at the state department is the al
legation that the United States deputy
and vice consul at Sonneberg has been
serving as German agent to convey Sc
crets relative to war material stolen from
the French government. and that the Of
ficial used the United States consulate and
the official letter heads and envelopes Of
the consulate to further his ends.
The records of the department show that
Alvin Florschultz was appointed vice and
deputy United States consul at Sonneberg
in 1883. He had been connected with the
banking business in the town and resigned
the place of cashier of one of the largest of
the banks TO accept the position in the
consulate. His record is exceptionally good.
When the consulate was removed from
Sonneberg to CoblenZ, F1orschultz went
along. He has given satisfaction at every
point and has frequently discharged the
duties of consul during the absence of that
official He still holds his place. Inquiries
made into the accuracy of the detailed
statements. made by Bentheim appear
| to confirm most of them. His claim that
he was soldier in the Two Hundred and
Second New York regiment and discharged
In Washington is borne out by the war de-
partment records. Notwithstanding this,
| the officials of the state department dis
credit Bentheim's statements. though, now
| that they have been given such publicity
| it may be found expedient quietly to in
vestigate the matter.
The German embassy treats the Ben
| theim story lightly, and while the officials
| say there are number of circumstances
| referring to his alleged employment in the
| military service at Berlin which are in
consistent with the established system
there, yet they will not dignity the story
| by going into details.
| Sculptor Trentanove. who is mentioned
as the one who will be visited by Benthein
in Washington, has gone abroad

Atlanta, Ca, who has revealed the alleged
| methods by which state secrets were trans
| mitted from France to Germany and who
said that he was born in Denver thirty-sis
years ago.
II think It is fake name" said Mr.
Londoner. for there were not many people
here In 1868, and 1 would have known his
father If he had really been born here
| John Martin, a commission man who
has lived in Denver since the first house
was built, could remember no such name.

PHILIPPINES BLOCKADE.
Administration Studying How Il
Close All the Ports of the
IuaurUenfs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The matter of
making an effective blockade in the Phil
ippines, and especially around the island
of LuZon, so as to prevent the insurgents
from obtaining. ammunition and supplies.
is one that is giving the army considerable
concern. 1t has not been deemed feasible
to proclaim blockade, as it would indi-
cate a state of war and possibly open a
way to the recognition of the insurgents.
Whether or not 1t Is feasible to attack.
subdue and garrison all the ports Of Luzon
which might serve as ports of supply for
the Filipinos has not yet been determined.
Heretofore, there have not been sufficient
troops in Luzon to make this possible, and
the question will now arise whether troops
had best be spared for this purpose.
The president has been advised that the
navy should be utilized for the purpose of
preventing the introduction Of eontraband
every port a naval vessel could be station
ed and, under the military law of the ISL
and, every incoming vessel could be made
to exhibit Its manifest. One trouble about
carrying out this plan is the fact that
there is not a sufficient number of light
draught vessels to go into all the places
where the Filipinos can receive their sup
plies.

DRINK HABIT CURED AT HOME
The Wonderful Results of the Bart
lett Cure Company.

The Bartlett Cure Company is treating
and curing more patients than any other
drink cure in the world. This is because
they treat their patients at their home,
saving them the expense and publicity of
an institute treatment. Because they use
no hypodermic injections with their bad
effects but give healthful tonics. Because
they not only antidote the drink crave but
cure the diseased condition, arising from
the use of intoxicants. BY their system of
correspondence, each patient receives in
dividual care and instructions. They have
received the highest and best Endorsements
of any cure in the world, from leaders
among men whose recommendations the
whole world could not buy.
Hon. l.. S. Coffin, president of the Rail
way Temperance Association of America,
and founder of the White Button" says:
The work of the Bartlett Cure Is We'll
nigh miraculous. 1t stands in advance of
all other cures for drunkenness

SURGEON OF PEARY EXPEDITION.
DIR. f. z. Vincent, Now in Charge of
the Kelley Institute. Detroit.

DR.. Vincent lately obtained such valua-
BILE personal aid from the famous Grape
to volunteer the following information:
''In recommending your Grape-Nuts food
speak from personal experience when
suffering from tedious attack of Jaun-
dice which was the result of nervous dys-
pepsia, brought on by overwork and close
confinement. Your preparation was OF
such infinite value in my own illness that
when in charge of one of the largest
Eeeley Institutes in the United States, ]
introduced the food on the table as a reg
uIar article of diet.
I'VE receive many patients who for days
have been unable to retain food In the
stomach, and I have the first one to treat
who could not retain the food. On the
contrary, patients invariably find Grape
Nuts nourishing and palatable.''
