THEY DO NOT KNOW HOLLAND.
Not Likely Any Action VIII BE Taken
as to His Charges.

Washington, Feb. 1s--Oficials at the
War Department claim to know nothing
about Jay G. Holland, the young Flori-
dan arrested Friday on the charge of
criminal libel against Senator Taiiaferro,
other than that a letter was received from
him some time ago making certain charges
against Mai. G.. w. Ruthers, now station
ed at San Francisco.
1t is denied that he was a detective in
the employ of the government during the
war with Spain or at any other time.
The letter written by Holland in which he
makes charges against Maj. Ruthers has
been Forwarded that officer for remarks.
and until 1t is returned no further steps
will be taken by the department,
Officials of the department generally dis
credit the charges and as there was no
affidavit accompanying the letter 1t is not
likely they say that anything further will
come of 1t. John II. Wilkie, chief of the
secret service said so far as he knew a
military bureau of information was main
tanned at Tampa for a time, but 1t was
in charge of an army officer and only en-
listed men were employed All the other
secret service work during the war was
under his supervision.

Leave France.


Paris. Feb. 1S.--The sensational newspa-
pers OF Paris publish story with regard
to a sub-ohief OF one of the bureaus of
the ministry Of marine named Philip
who is said to have been discovered In an
offer to furnish Great Britain informant tion
relating to the freighting OF vessels for
the Transvaal in French ports.

ing his proposal he asked $4,000 francs in
return for the information. It is also al
legged that the letter was seized on the
strength of information gwen through DIR.
Leyds, whereupon Philip absconded.
The Nationalist journals insinuate that
he received timely warning from the
French government and was thus cna-
bled to escape to England.
DIR. Leyds. however, denies the part
attributed to him in the affair, and the
British embassy has issued a formal re-
pudiation of any negotiations direct or
indirect with Philip.
According TO the Journal des Debats,
Philip has gone to the United States,
where he formerly lived and where, 1t
is said, he became bankrupt as the re-
suit of his unfortunate management of his
business as a picture dealer.
The plan by which he was trapped re-
calls the Dreyfus affair. He received a
letter inviting him TO meet a veiled lady,
as in the notorious case of Lieut.. Col
Du Patty de Clam, at a well known cafe
Here, according to this story, he indis-
