TWO AEX|CANS WITH
HISTORIC DIAMONDS
WHICH THEY WE'RE TRYING TO
SMUGGLE INTO THIS COUNTRY
ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
ONCE WORN BY CARLoTTA.
WIDOW OF MAMMALIAN, THE IN
FORTUNATE EMPEROR OF
MEXICO.

NEW YORK. November 1.-Two
Mexicans, who gave their names as
Velino NJ. Preza and Alexandra A. Mar
oucci, were arrested here to-day charg-
ed with smuggling into this country
part of the famous jewels at one time
worn by Carlotta, the widow of EN-
peror Macmillan OF Mexico. The jew
els in the mems possession are said to
be worth $4,000. The men were shad-
ovid and this morning special treasury
agent Theobald saw them with another
man met at the corner of Broadway
and Seventeenth Street. He approach
ed one of them and told
him that he was prisoner.
The man protested and as he did SO
handed two packages to one OF the
other men, A policeman was called
and the two were arrested. The third
man was not arrsted but went to the
West Thirtith street station in closed
carriage.
At the station the men protested
against their arrest but were held not
withstanding. The packages were open
ed and in one was found two diamond
rings. The stones were single dia-
monds set in plain gold and are said to
be worth about $4,000 apiece. The
other package contained a diamond
pendant which is said to have been
worn formerly by Queen Carlotta sus1
pended from jeweled necklace. The
pendant consists of large diamond
set around with eighteen smaller stones
and two large stones hanging beneath.
The stone in the centre is said to e a
famous diamond. 1t is of SO carat,
ffaWless and the pendant us said to be a
worth $4,000. The jewels were turned
over to Agent Theobald. The men
were arraigned before Commissioner
Shields and We're held in bail, PreZa in
S., 900 and Maroucci in $1,000, and their
examination was set for November H.
1t was learned that among the papers
which Preza had on him when he was
arrested was bill of sale for the dia-
monds for 100000 1t is said that one
of the men told the officials that the
stones were given to them to sell by a
woman. This woman is said to be
Praza's fiancee. The jewels were in a
red leather case and in the case was a

English Diamond necklace is from
Maximillian's crown, 1860. The center
stone is 33 ITO karats and none of the
10 surrounding stones less than one
karat. The stone in one of the dia-
mond rings seized was in Maximilian's
ring at the time he was shot"
Collector Bidwell refused to talk of
the seizure but lit was learned that the
custom house received a tip from an in
formant that the gems were in this
country. The case is now in the hands
of the United States district attorney.
The gems will be appraised and on the
amount of valuation the charge will be

net revenue to the government as may
be decided upon by the secretary of
the treasury.

THE UNITED MINE WORKERS.
Meeting of the National Executive
Board Held Yesterday.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November II.
At a melting of the national executive
board of the United Mine Workers OF
America, held here to-day, general con-
ditions, and the policy of the organiza-
ton during the coming scale year were
considered On the subject of new leg
islation the members say there will
probably be some constitutional
amendments offered, but they are as a
rule ON minor points and of little in
terest to the public.
TIE anthracite field has held big
share of the consideration and the
board and one of the members said to-
night the same policy always pursued
toward the operators in that district
would be continued and the fight for
recognition and annual scale confer
ences kept up. All of the members
agree that there has been vast i'm
provements in the organization. Addi-
tions to the order have been very
large and the amount of money in the
national treasury is nearly three times
the amount shown at the correspond
ing time last year. Wages have been
advanced and the great victory in the
anthracite districts is matter over
which the board members are elated.
The officers decline to discuss wage
conditions.

WASHINGTON, November 12.-Ger-
many is now passing through period
Of reflection, determination and a
somewhat vague uncertainty as to her
future, according to United States Con-
sui General Mason at Frankfort, who
has transmitted to the State Depart
ment a comprehensive review of the
conditions which have been productive
of threatening crisis in many
branches of German industry.
'In many branches of trade manu-
facture, the limit of profitable produc-
ton seems to have been reached says
Consul General Mason.
Thoughtful Germans, says Mr.. Mason,
are at loss to determine whether the
distressing condition of textile, hard
ware and other branches of trade is the
inevitable reaction following a pro-
trakted period of intense activity or
whether serious crisis in these indus
tries actually is at hand. The temper
airy stoppage of exports to South At
RIGA and tC China is feht to be respons-
ible in large measure for present con-
ditions
aside from the local conditions
which exist in Germany" says the con-
sui general, ''by far the most important
and ominous element in the problem is
the new and enlarged role which has
been assumed by the United States as
a source of supply of coal and metals.
The first reports that American coal
had found a market in France and
Italy and had even been tested sue
cessfully for gas making purposes in
London were received here with an
fnoredulity amounting to resentment.
While dealers and certain consumers
hailed the prospect of a new source of
supply from beyond the Atlantic with
delight, the general sentiment of the
press was distinctly hostile and in
credulous."
Consul General Mason recounts the
incidents that gradually awakened Ger
many to the unquestioned superiority
of American COAL A test of Ohio coal
on the Bavarian State railway proved
it superior to the best of native coal, the
great Atlantic German steamship
lines We're found to be using the Amer
lean article exclusively and the big
Deutschland, before setting out to
break the speed record of the sea, filled
UP her coal bunkers at New York.
"There was no arguing against these
facts says Mr., Mason, "and when a
short time ago it was announced that
West Virginia gas coal had been tested
at Hamburg and found superior to the
Cardiff standard, the conclusion be-
came unavoidable that only scarcity of
tonnage and exoribitant freights stand
between the coal famine prices in Ger
many and the exhaustless deposits Of

Parts.
NEW YORK, November 12.-In a
decision handed down to-day surrogate
Fitzgerald dismisses the contest to the
probate of the will of Robert Bonner,
the publisher, and admits the will to
probate.
Mr.. Bonner died July 6, 1899. In a
will dated June 26, 1899, after making
several important requests, Mr.. Bon
ner divided the residue of his estate
into four parts, leaving one portion
each to his three children, Robert E.
Bonner, Frederick Bonner and Mrs.
Emma Forbes. The fourth share was
left to the minor children of the tes-
tator's dead son, Andrew Ahen Bon
ner.
The contest was waged by Mrs. An
drew Bonner, the widow of the testat-
ors deceased son, on behalf of her
two children, Robert A. Bonner and
Lawrence K. Bonner.
This contestant alleged that the i'm
strument propounded as the last Will
and testament of Robert Bonner. de-
ceased, is not his last will and should
not be admitted to probate because
he was not acting as a free agent in
executing it and that he was subject
to undue influence.
