GUERIN HOSTS THE BLACK Fla
Anti-Semite Thus Indicates Death In His
Paris Fort.

Paris, Aug. 2S.-All was quiet in the
vicinity of Rue Chabrol throughout the
night, but at o'clock in the morning
a black flag appeared in the attic win
dow. Some days ago Guerin stated
that in the event of death the
party would hoist the black flag. 1t is
known that two of the party have been
i'll, one seriously from congestion Of
the lungs. Communication with the
house is still strictly forbidden; even
bearers of ordinary police passes are
not allowed to approach. Guerin re-
sumed watch on the roof at a. m.
A reporter from The Anti-Juif tried
to revictual the fortress, but was pre-
vented by the police. Guerin, greatly
incensed, fired two shots at police
man. Neither reached the mark, but
the incident will probably precipitate
matters.
The government of France has rea-
son to believe that the Countess de
Paris is the owner of the house in Rue
Charbrol in which NJ Guerin and his
party is located and that M. Guerin Is
only a man of straw who is acting for
her. This, perhaps, explains the long
suffering and patience on the part of
the government.
