If FAITH WAS BROKEN
Uncle Sam Will See That Miss Stones
Captors Are Punished.

Washington, Feb. 21.-1t Is estimated
at the state department that Is days
have now elapsed since the money for
Miss stones ransom was paid over to
the agents of the brigands. At least
five days have elapsed beyond the time
fixed in the stipulation to place her in
the hands of her friends. There is no
explanation for the delay. 1t is sup
posed that physical conditions such as
heavy SHOWS and adverse weather may
account for the failure to secure her
delivery.
The officials are loath to believe that
there has been a breach Of faith on the
part of the brigands, but even if this
were so. they do not regard themselves
as blameworthy for having trusted
them. From the first the United States
government has been averse to paying
a ransom, but in response to appeals
from every quarter, it reluctantly au-
thorized Mr.. Leichmann to deal with
the brigandS. - cas-
However, if it shall turn out that the
brigands have broken faith and that
they either have taken the ransom
money and spirited the captives away
again or that they have killed them.
then there will be no further attempt
to deal with the brigands on the part
of the United States government, but
it's entire power will be directed upon
Turkey and upon Bulgaria to procure
the swift and certain determination Of
the brigands. regardless Of cost or ef-
fort.

PRINCE HENRY'S ARRIVAL
It is Feared, Will Be Delayed by the
Bad Weather.

New York. Feb. 21.-Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia is due in New York
tomorrow. That he will arrive or
schedule time is, however, exceedingly
doubtful. The KronprinZ Wilhelm, to
equal her westward record, should
reach Sandy Hook lightship by 7.45
o'clock Saturday morning. Owing to
the conditions now prevalent on the
Atlantic. her arrival at any hour dur
ing Saturday will be surprising.
At the offices of the North German
Lloyd Co.. Manager Schwab. although
somewhat upset in his calculations by
the delay which the Teutonic expert
enced. that boat having arrived "a
hours overdue, still expressed the belief
that the Kronpronz Wilhelm will arrive
in the harbor late in the afternoon.
An all night vigil was kept by the
wireless telegraph operators on the Ho-
henZollern and the Etrtria in the hope
of coming into touch with the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm.
All is in readiness for the princes re-
ception in this city. The Presidents

SCHEME OF THE EMPEROR.
Prince Henry's Visit Planned to un'
dermine England's Friendship.

London Feb. 21.-The weekly reviews
make the impending arrival Of Admiral
Prince Henry of Prussia at New York
the occasion of another chapter in the
Spanish-American war controversy.
The Spectator disclaims any intention
of attempting to mar the reception to be
rendered Prince Henry. but declares that
both Englishmen and Americans see
through Germanys game and refuse to be
misled by the inspired attempts to under
mine their mutual friendship and under
standing"
A fact which will be written down by
the historian. says the Spectator, Is
as well recognized today as it will evei'
be. That is, that England used her in
fiuence. and the Americans know she used
it on the side of the United States as
against those who wished to take the
side of Spain. A test of the attitudes
toward America during the war, display ell
by England and Germany respectively, is
found in the respective attitudes of the
English and German squadrons toward
Admiral Dewey in Manila bay. The Ger
mans nearly fired on the Americans. If
they had done so. the English would have
acted on the American side"
The Outlook says that Emperor VIII
liam, NOW. as In China, is using Prince
Henry as a bait for the German hook.
Neither Prince Henry nor his astute
brother. the Emperor, will ever succeed
in weakening the substantial grounds
upon which Anglo-American-op operation
now rests
