which has accepted the deposits of
thousands of persons in Brooklyn un-
der promise of paying dividends of ten
per cent. week, or $50 per cent. per
annum, and Cecil Leslie, his secretary,
were indicted by the Kings county
grand jury Friday. Bench warrants
were issued for their arrest, but neither
has been found.
How GREATS the alleged swindle no one
knows, for the amount of funds on hand
cannot be even approximated but it is
confidently asserted that Miller has
taken in not less than $4,000,000 since he
began business. The receipts of the
concern, especially in the last few days.
have been enormous, and how many
persons will lose their principal cannot
be even guessed at. Many of the de-
positors or victims were persons of
small means. who put all they could get

in New York.
be seen.l

New York. Nov. 25.-William An
thony, better known as Brave BilP
Anthony, died at the Presbyterian hos
pital Friday, half an hour after he had
swallowed a quantity of cocaine at one
of the Central park entrances. He was
the man who, on February Is, 1898,
when the battleship Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor, reported to Capt.
Sigsbee in the famous words: "Sir,
have the honor TO report that the ship
has been blown up and is sinking" On
his return to this country Anthony was
accorded receptions everywhere. He re-
ceived many invitations from cities to
be their guest. For months he trav-
eled over the country, being accorded
the honors of a hero. When his leave of
absence was ended Anthony was pro-
noted to be a sergeant of marines. and
was detailed at the Brooklyn navy yard.
In one of Anthony's coat pockets was
found letter written by him 10 his
aunt, which read that he was discour-
aged and disconsolate and was going to
end it all. Among the articles found
was a picture of his one-monthold
child, on the back of which was writ
ten: Bury this with me" A Spanish
American war medal, such as all sur
vivors of the battleship Maine received,
was also found.

LOSS OF THE MAINE.
Government OmcinIs Finally Get
Facts Regarding Destruction
of the Battleship.

Havana, Nov. 2g.-United States Off
cials, after months of secret investi-
cation. have discovered that the battle
ship Maine was blown up by gun cotton
torpedoes planted in the bay for the
purpose. The gun cotton, 700 pounds
of which was used, was sent from Bar
celona to Admiral Manterola, com
manding the port of Havana, and was
either stolen from the magazine where
the stuff was stored or taken away with
the knowledge OF the officials in charge.
Admiral Manterola's records will un-
doubtedly show the names of his sub
ordnates who had direct control of the
explosives. and i'm that way the identity
of the authors and the eXecutioners of
the plot TO destroy the Maine may be
discovered. Two or three men were en-
gagged in the destruction of the Maine.
A steam launch of Spanish make and
now used by the United States govern
ment in Havana harbor conveyed the
two torpedoes, according to the new
evidence, TO "A point within few feer
of the berth Of the Maine and anchored
them. The torpedoes were kept in po-
sition by means of buoys floated II feet
under water and ten feet above the
anchors used to prevent them from be-
ing swept away. The torpedoes were
exploded by contact with the keel of
the Maine as she swung at anchor.

CUT TO PIECES.


Cairo, Nov. 27.-Lord Cromer. the
British minister here, has received the
following dispatch from Gen. Kitch-
ener:
''wingate's force caught up with khalifa's
force seven miles southwest OF Godid and
attacked II. After a sharp fight he took his
position. The khalifa, who was surround-
ed by bodyguard OF emirs, was killed.
and all the principal emirs were killed or
captured, except Osman Digna, who es-
capped"
The dervishes were utterly defeated,
their whole camp was taken and thou
sands surrendered. A large number
of women, children and cattle also fell
into the hands of the Anglo-Egyptian
force.
[The story OF the war in the Soudan Is
that Of a long and bloody strife Of civiliza-
tion against a cruel, barbarous and re-
ligiously fanatical black race. In the early
'7Os the atrocities of the Turkish traders
in the Soudan compelled Egypt, then de-
pendent upon Turkey, to call upon England
for help. Chinese" Gordon was sent as
governor general Of the Soudan in 18Th
The Turks were driven from the scene,
Taxation was satisfactorily arranged, but
the Soudanese mind was impregnated with
desire for revenge for the wrongs suffered
in slavery. Mohammed Achmet, calling
himself lei Mahdi," took advantage OF
the discomfort, preached deliverance, and
assembled hoTdes Of frenzied dervishes de-
termined to withstand the British. Cor
don resigned in 1877. In 1888 10000 mixed
Egyptian and English troops under Hicks
Pasha were annihilated on an expedition
into the desert from Khartoum Other
expeditions met a similar fate. England
was dumfounded. Gen. Gordon, prevailed
upon 10 try again, returned to Khartoum,
only to meet a tragic death. Sir Francis
Grenfell acted as commanding general
from 1887 to 1s92-years which saw the
siege of Suakim by the Soudanese, and
the engagements of Gamaizah and Toski,
in the latter of which Grenfell broke the
advance Of the dervshes toward Egypt.
In these engagements was a young officer
of engineers, who in 1892 was given the
command as sirdar. 1t was Kitchener.
Here he began that slow. sure, resistless
march along the Nile which resulted in
the terrible overthrow of the black hosts
at Omdurman and the avenging of Gordon,
September 4, 1898 The dervsh forces were
cut to pieces, but the crafty khalifa, with
many of his emirs and several thousand
followers, escaped. Since that time an
Anglo Egyptian army has kept up a re-
lentless pursuit. the climax Of which has
just been reached. Whether Osman Digna,
on whose shoulders will naturally fall the
khaifa 5 mantle, will again attempt to rally
the followers of the black flag remains TO
