Miss Clifford's body was taken to an un-

GERMAN COUP
Russian Influence to Be Less.
ened by a New Rail-
way Line.

Constantinople, Jan. 17.-An trade has
been promulgated approving OF the hnai
convention for the construction OF the
Bagdad railroad by a German company.
A guarantee of 1900 francs per kilo-
meter is promised. The line will be car
ried to the Persian Gulf, but the proposal
to fix the terminus at Koweit is aban-
doned, owing to political considerations.
The concession for a line Of railroad
connecting the Bosporus with the Per-
sian Gulf is regarded as extremely i'm
portant politically and commercially
When completed 1t will bring India with
in approximately eight days of London
and it will open a new international
granary and bring considerable part Of
Asia Minor under German influence. The
German concession conflicts seriously with
the Russian plans for the extension Of the
Siberian railroad towards India:

BRAGA NOT TO BE FOUND
sPAN1ARD WHO SUNK THE MAINE
He Had Wind of the Committees
Visit and Took French
Leave.

Special to The Journal.
.Chadron, Neb., Jan. 17.-Edward satter-
lee, who was member of the committee
chosen to investigate the alleged confess
sion of the> Spaniard on Bob Yago's ranch
in Sioux county, that it was he who sent
the battleship Maine to the bottom of
Havana harbor, has returned with the
information that Manuel De Silvia Braga
was not to be found on that ranch.
He was told the Spaniard had learned of
the investigation and had boarded the
eastbound Elkhorn train at Glenn, Neb.
Mr. Satterlee found letters and other
papers at the home of Yago which, he
says, convinced him beyond doubt that
this Spaniard was in some manner con-
noted with or knew all about the destruc-
ton of the Maine.
Pressed with questions, he admitted that
the papers prove the spaniard was in
Cuba as military officer during Weylers
regime; that he left there about the time
the Maine was destroyed, and came to this
country.
