MYSTERIOUS CASE.
CONTINUED from page ~

Purto Cartes, Honduras. He immedi-
ateiy wrote to the American consul at
that place, telling what he had heard
and asking for particulars.
| He has so far received several letters
from the consul, the substance OF which
is as follows:
Avian H. Prince was murdered as the
report from Edgar Thompson said, but
by whom Is mystery. 1t seems that
his body was found on the morning u
May rs, at that place, with a pistol shot
wound in the head, between the eyes
The American consul was first in
formed OF the murder of Albert Thomp-
son, who was Princes companion in
the country but who claimed not to
know anything about the deed. The
consul said'that Thompson soon after
ward disappeared, but had since come
back.
No money was found on Princes
/ body. though as his only expense was
the trip from West Auburn to Boston,
and as they at once went to work on
arrival in Honduras, he would natural
| ly have been expected to have as much
as he started with-$110-or more His
ring was also missing, but his watch
was in his pocket.
1t seems by Thompson's story to the
American consul that Prince and
Thompson went into the mountains
where the scene of the Boston Com
pany's operations was located and not
liking the looks of things or the work
threw up the job and returned to Purto
Cartes, a seaport town, where they Sc
cured work.
The story Of the circumstances sur
rounding the murder and the finding
of the body are strangely lacking but
are expected to soon come out as Mr..
Prince is in constant mail communica-
ton with the consul and daily expects
more news.
Albert Thompson with his brother
Edgar of West Auburn, We're once sus-
pected of knowing how Augustus Saw
yer Of Monmouth, met his death.
They were arrested. taken to Augusta
and after the hearing had progressed
some time were discharged for lack of
evidence.
Hence much interest is taken in this
case which seems so mysterious per-
haps because of 50 few details having
so far been secured. and the somewhat
hard to explain course of Edgar in not
giving Mr.. Prince every opportunity to
learn them from his letter from his
brother

Manchuria by the powers and the
withdrawal of all missionaries. Little
attention, however. need be paid to any
of these rumors.
In a private message from Shanghai
it is asserted that Ii Hung Chang
avows that the object of his journey is
to place the regular Chinese army in
line with the allied troops for the sup
preston of the Boxers.
The Times editorially suggests that
Lii Hung Chang is playing the old
game Of the Sublime Porte by putting
forward proposals which will appear
in different degrees and ways to diff
ferent powers. 1t says: President
Mckinley has been asked to mediate
and the request is facilitated by the
care which has been taken in
Washington not to commit the United
States to any very thorough going pol
icy"
Hong Kong. Three transports reach
ed there. yesterday, and two others
have left Hong Kong for Taku.
Reports from Canton say the city is
outwardly quiet, but that there is a
strong under-curre Of unrest among
the Chinese. Only a few Europeans
ladies have left, many still remaining.
St. Petersburg dispatches represent
the situation in Manchuria as far more
serious than had been supposed. 1t is
asserted that the Chinese have occu-
pied Hailar, where the Russian railway
staff is surrounded and in desperate
straits.
According to the St. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Times. Gen. Kourop-
atkin, the Russian minister of war,
will probably become commandments
chief of the Russian forces in China
and will presumably take command of
all the allied troops.

Washington. July 23.-After consid-
Grafton the officials of the state depart
ment have come to the conclusion that
by Geographic error the name of the
informant of the Consul GoodnoW has
been turned into "Tuan" from Tuano
The latter is the famous Yuan Shih
kai, the governor of the province of
shan Tung. who has maintained an
attitude of neutrality. and even has
leaned toward positive friendship for
the foreigners.
ON the other hand if the dispatch
really came from Prince Tuan. in the
opinion of the officials here it would
indicate that this official either has
been grossly misrepresented as to his
anti-foreign tendency or that he is
seeking 10 escape responsibility for the
outragcs upon Foreigners.

THE state department has received

saying that Prince Tuan wires that an
officer of the Tsung Ii Yamen saw all
the ministers on the 18th; that none

describing the legation as being I'M

The above dispatch was showed to
Minister WI, this afternoon. He said
he had no explanation to offer, but
said he placed no dependence on any

vanced the theory that Prince Tuan,
