Newport News, Va. Sept. 5.-The off

on her trial trip today, a record OF IN
knots which speed was maintained for
nearly half an hour. Those Interested
in the construction of the splendid yes

the course on which forced draught was
tried was in shallow water and that

condition, having been in the water con-
nnuousy for nearly thirteen months.
The steam and hand steering gear were
subjected to the most severe tests,

made a semi-circnar turn in two and a

themselves as highly pleased with the

MAY BE INVESTIGATED
BENTHElM'S REMARKABLE STORY EXClTES
OFFICIAL INTEREST.
Action Of Vice Consul FIorschultz in Serving
as an Agent for Germany the Cause
of this Interest,

washington, Sept 5.sIhe officials Of
the State Department have been much
interested in the remarkable story or
the artist Bentheim at Atlanta of his
connection with the German secret ser
vice. The point in his narrative that
particularly attracts attention at the
State Department is the allegation that
the United States Deputy and Vice
Consul at Sonneberg has been serving
as German agent to convey secrets rela-
tive to war material stolen from the
French Government and that the Off
cfals has used the United States consu-
late 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 1888. He had been
connected with the banking business in
the town and resigned the place Of cash
ier of one of the largest or the banks
to accept the position in the Consulate.
His record is exceptionally good. When
the Consulate was removed from Some
berg to Cobenz, Florschultz went along
lie has given satisfaction at every point
and has frequently discharged the duties
Of the Consul during the absence or
that official. He still holds his place
Inquiry made into the accuracy Of the
detailed statements made by Bentheim
appear to confirm most Of them. His
claim that he was a solder III the Two
Hundred and Second New York regi-
ment and discharged in Washington is
borne out by the War Department rec
ords Notwithstanding this the officials
Of the State Department discredit Ben
theim's statements, though now that
they have been given such publicity,
1t may be found expedient to quietly
investigate the matter.
The German Embassy treats the
Bentheim story lightly and while the
officials say there arc number of
circumstances referring to his alleged
employment in the military service at
Berlin which are inconsistent with the
established system there, yet they will
not dignity the story by going into de-
tails.
Sculptor Trentanove, who is mention
ed as the one who will De visited by
Bentheim in Washington, has gone

WAR CONSIDERED CERTAIN.
Three More Infantry Brigades Ordered
to Cape Colony.

London, Sept. 5.-The latest news re-
ceiyed in this city from various points
in South Africa, is vague and contradic-
tory Nothing more is known regard
ing the status of the negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal
than that learned yesterday.
The officials of the British War
Office emphatically deny that the re-
serves have been called out or that any
steps have been taken ITO that end.
The afternoon newspapers follow the
lead Of the morning papers in taking an
eNtIsmely grave view of the situation,
although the War Office denial some
what tends to allay the wildly alarmist
reports current late last night.
The opinion of those who regard the
beginning of war between Great Brit
lin and the Transvaal as only a matter
of a short time is voiced by the ST.
James Gazette, which says today:
The news concerning the crisis is
very grave. We learn that three more
infantry brigades have been ordered to
Cape Colony, including the Gordons of
Dargai fame; one battalion of the High
land Light Infantry who fought in
Crete: the second battalion of the Black
Watch; the second battalion of the
Cameronans. These regiments are
under orders to be ready to leave at
twenty-four hours NOTICE. The officers
and men are delighted ait the prospect Of
active service.
'.In service circles war is considered
absolutely certain. The Admiralty have
4 number of transports ready to convey
troops to Cape Coloney. The Beers,
while procrastinating in regard to their
reply. have been making every prepara-
tion fo1 war and contemplate raiding
