his documents; vet neither was salts
fled that they we're wholly false.
DMartinez did not waver in the sail
ent features of his story, though sub
jected in turn to two most searching
cross-examinations of very different
character. On the next morning he re-
iterated his assertions and put them in
the form of an affidavit. executed and
sworn to in "a room in the Hotel Arling-
ton. In this deposition D'Martinez
uses the full names of the Spanish Off
GERS whom he accuses Of deepest COM

D'Martinez AYERS that several Other

made. but were unsuccessful. The re-
suit of the investigation having been
unable as yet to establish the story's
accuracy, the Herald will not publish

TUNNEL UNDER THE SEA.
1t Il Proposed Co Connect Europe and At
rica By Digging Under the straight of
Gibraltar for 20 Mlles.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The state de-
partment has received report con-
veying further information as to the
proposed tunnel from Europe to Afri-
ca under the strait of Gibraltar, from
George NJ. Murphy, consular clerk at
Madgeburg, Germany. By working
simultaneously. from both ends of
the tunnel, it is believed the date of
completion could be safely placed at
1907. The proposed length of the
tunnel is IS miles, 20 miles of this
under the sea. Railway connection
in Europe is planned by means of
line following the Spanish coast and
passing through Tarifa and Algeciras
into France. In Morocco a line would
be constructed from Tangier, con-
Meeting with the railroad system at
Tiemecen. The entire cost of the
tunnel alone is appropriated at over
$23, 100000 and of the entire connect
ing line between Spain and Algiers
at about $43,5O0,0oO.

BITTER TOWARD GERMANY.
Kaiser's Military Operations In China Rival
the Boxer Outra9es and Troops Are
Committing Excuses.

Washington, Dec. "A growing dis
position on the part of the powers
to show dissatisfaction with Ger
many's military course is being man.
Tested. The accounts of the opera
tions of the German expeditionary
forces are shocking. They show that
the spirit of revenge is being carried
to extremes which cannot be coun-
tenanced by civilized nations. The
German troops are committing eX-
cesses which, if not soon checked,
will rival the outrages of the boxers.
Just how Germany will be made to
feel that her course is becoming dis
tasteful to the other powers cannot
be foreseen. The official sentiment
is increasing against a continuance
of the military operations by that
power.

The der Having Good Eject.

Nearly half the joint buildings in
the Klondike,e near the soldiers home
in Leavenworth county, are now va
cant. The order prohibiting veterans
from entering or patronizing joints
in the Klondike and within a mile of
the soldiers home has proved death
blow to the dives. Only four veterans
have violated the order, and the but
tons were cut off their coats and they
were turned out of the soldiers home
gate without any ceremony and this
has had good effect.

County Doc. Not Paw for It.

Attorney General GODDARD has rem
dered an opinion that will be a hard
blow to the Kansas sheriffs. In nearly
every county in the state the sheriff
lives in one portion of the county
Jail. They have been using fuel and
light furnished by the county for
their private apartments. Attorney
General GODDARD says that the county
does not have to stand the expense
for coal, light and heat necessary for
that portion of the Jail occupied as a
residence by the sheriff or jailer.

The council FIRE committee is con-
fronted with a problem In the fOunda-
ton for the new Fort Henry hose house
on McColloch street, East End, and
solution will likely be arrived. at this
evening when the committee will meet.
1t was built last year, and shortly af-
ter its construction there were reports
Us TO its ineficiency for the purposes
required. 1t was built late in the fall.
and its weakness was ascrlbed by some
as caused by the freezing Of the layers
Of cement. At any rate. the cement has
dried into sand, crumbling beneath the
fingers, and It looks as though a new
foundation, or sSine additional support
win be necessary before the building
can be proceeded with. A builder says
concrete was used in the walls. mate
rial, ne claims, that does not answer
the purpose Of 4 foundation above
ground.
Bids have been received for the brick
and carpenter work, but nothing can be
done until there is better foundation.
Conferences were had with a stone ma
son last night, and City Engineer White
viii likely offer some suggestions to-
night. The FIRE committee is anxious
to have the matter adjusted so as TO
proceed with the building OF the new
hose house as soon as possible.
