gard to subchief cf 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 Informal
tion relating to the freighting of vessels
for the Transvaal in French ports II is
alleged that in the letter containing his
proposal he asked 25 coo francs In return
for the information. 1t is also alleged that
the letter was seized. on the strength OF
information given through DIR. Leyds.
whereupon NJ. Philip absconded.
The nationalist journals insinuate that
he received timely warning from .he

TO escape to- England.

with Philip.
According to the Journal des Debats,
Philip has gone to the United States,
where he formerly lived and where, it is

of his unfortunate management of his
business as picture dealer.
The method by which he was trapped
recalls the Dreyfus affair. He received
