MYSTERY OF
HUMBERT CASE

New York, May 20,--While the news
papers Of Paris have published ex-
haustiye details Of the extraordinary
mystifcatlon of the Humbert case by
which woman secured loans and adj
yances Of about sl2OOO,OOO with prac-
tcally no security, very little attention
has been given to the fact that a large
sum was secured In London. says a
Herald dispatch from London. one
loan of 100000 is now said to have been
obtained from financial institutions and
individuals in this city. The woman
in the case is also said to have raised
100000 ON portion Of her jewels, and
a well known firm Of pawnbrokers adj
yanced $4,000 on other jewels
She secured, besides, 1t is alleged, a
large sum from a group OF underwrt-
ers here. who were so convinced that
her story was true that they advanced
money TO pay number OF debts, re-
ceivtng notes bearing a high rate Of In
terest In return.
She told the now familiar story of
mysterious millions, and wished TO
borrow the money on three months
notes, to date from Sept. l.
She said the decision as to the estate
by which she was certain to receive
large fortune, no matter which way It
went, would be given In october or No
vember.
The financiers to whom the solicitors

by the prospect Of earning 20 per cent
for three months. They sent an Eng
fish solicitor TO Paris TO investigate.
He was entertained at a mansion In the
Avenue de la Grande Armee. He saw
masterpieces hanging on the walls and
was shown the mysterious safe. He
even saw the safe opened and packages
Of French rentes carefully tied up and
marked with what was said to be the
stamp OF the official examiner"
He was taken into the best circles
OF Paris society, and on his return to
London reported that the loan was a
good risk.
The notes fell due on Dec. l.
They were not paid, and the woman's
solicitors gave as the cause that the
litigation was still proceeding, and
asked that the notes be extended three
months.
A feeling of distrust entered the
minds OF the lenders and the interest
was promptly paid. Under promises OF
20 per cent more for the next three
months and also a bonus Of $4,000 600
twice the total amount OF the loan
when the estate was settled, the notes
were renewed When they finally became
due on March / and paymnt was not
forthcoming. the London lenders be-
came alarmed. and were instrumental
in pricking the bubble.

SoUFRIERE STILL BELCHING.

Klngstown, st. Vinvent, Saturday May
1.-THE continued heat thrown of by
the lava prevents anyone approaching
the volcanic mountain. From the sea
the estates Of Willibu and Richmond
present a scene OF desolaton. They are
bereft Of vegetation and all the build
ings on them have been destroyed. No
living being is seen, and no sound of
any kind is heard
Small Jets Of steam issue at intervals
from various parts Of the plantations
as a warning 10 visitors and the few
courageous persons who have APP
preached the locality have found the
earth there to be too hot TO venture
upon.
1t Is presumed that La Soufrere VIII
In the future remain active The sur
rounding country will then be uninhab-
liable. The earth In that locality Is
covered with volcanic dust several feet
In depth,
The loss as result Of the volcanic
eruption includes not only the present
crops of the Island, but cultivation will
be impeded for some years to come.
Serious fears are entertained that an
other eruption will occur at the foot
OF the volcano, where steam is oontin-
ually issuing from small assures. The
locality Is cracked all over.
The strange color and the great
depth of the inlet OF the sea on the
Wallibu estate imply that an eruption
occurred there, and that new crater
has been formed, which extends from
the land into the sea.
The sufferings of the afflicted demand
more consideration than the loss of
life. The torture OF the victims was
indescribable; many of them were lit
orally roasted.
A further shipment Of medical APP
planes food and bedding arrived here
yesterday, Three thousand OF the af-
flicted are being housed and fed by the
government and the distress on the
island Of ST. Vincent must last for
some months 10 come.
A sad story is related by lad OF IA
years, who lived In a village called
Overland, which was demolished. His
father, mother and nine brothers and
sisters were killed by the burning erup-
ton. The boy heard nothing Of them,
and two days after the disaster he
