county?"
"No, never! But Dingle has done
this town service by making off with

"What?" gasped the crowd, glaring
at Waffle.

This was sufficient to turn the atten-
tion of the crowd into another chan

ment along the hall to the spot where
the unfortunate printer was lying.
Sampson had not moved hairs

arms and legs sprawled out and his
eyes closed. There were no visible
marks of injury upon his face and Guy
dropped down on one knee and lifted
his head.
AS he did this Guy saw a section of
glittering gold chain on the floor under
the printer and he dropped one hand
over it and concealed it in his PAIN. No
one else had glimpseti the bit of iewelry
and Guys heart was in his throat the
instant his eyes fell on it. A favor

to his pocket and continued his exam

That awful threat silenced the by

Guy saw Waffle nudge his engineer and
whisper something that made them
both grin icaIly.
"You'l not have to call Dinyle out,

INSURGENTS SACKED BARCELONA
Dispatch from American Naval Officer to Washington Authorities

Washington, Aug. 14.-The navy de-

of the Marietta, dated Port of Spain,
August IL:

Paris, Aug. 14.-The Matin, continu-

that the Duchess of Marlborough is in
entire sympathy with Miss Deacon
in her dreams Of becoming an en-

argues that she married a duke, and
why, then, should not her protege
marry a prince OF the empire?
The Matin says that the Duke of
Marlborough was at first ircnical, but
afterward fell in with the dreams of
Miss Deacon and the duchess, but
Emperor William, viewing the affair
in a different light, sent a message
to Miss Deacon demanding the return
Of the ring given to her by the crown
prince, and saying that the ring was
not the property of the crown prince,
but was a gift of the Empress Freder-
lex to the German nation.
Miss Deacon, backed by the Duchess
of Marlborough, Indignantly refused
to part with the precious love token.
Messenger succeeded messenger, each
more diplomatic and charming in his
manner than the preceding one, until

and wounded love, threw the ring in

Weaving Net About Thompson.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Inspector Hunt
of the Hyde Park police station to-
day began systematically to weave
the net of evidence in the mysterious
murders of Mrs. Anne Bartholin and
Miss Minnie Mitchell about Oscar
Thompson, who, for over 20 years was
a roomer of Mrs. Bartholin-in the
Calumet avenue death house.
The identity of the mysterious wo-
ma in black who last night told the
inspector she had seen William Bar
tholin, Oscar Thompson and "Old
Dad" Claffy wranglfng over Thomp-
sons laundry wagon on the morning
of the Mitchell girls supposed MUIR
der, was cleared up. She is Mrs.
Mary Tallerday. Today she positive
ly identified Thompson's wagon and
horse as those she had seen with the
men.
An attempt to wiring a confession
from Thompson by putting him in
the Sweat box" will, it is expected,
result in a statement that the horse
and wagon were used to convey the
body of Minnie Mitchell to the lonely
field at Seventy-fourth and State
streets.

Caracas, where Castro has his head
quarters, and that this accounted for
the report from the Venezuelan cap
ital that the Barcelona cable had been
severed.
Take Everything in Sight.
The navy department is inclined to
think that the revolutionists in sack
ing the town seized what they could
lay their hands on.
Minister Bowen, in the dispatch,
the contents of which the state de-
partment made public today, says he
is advised by the United States con-
sui at Barcelona that. the revolution
lists are sacking that town and search
ing private houses. They r demand
ing money from foreign residents in
exchange for a guarantee for safety
of lives and property.

Lean was sent since that of Minister

lection, but have progressed sufficient
ly to make them exceedingly danger
GUS to an enemy. Assurdedly they
have passed the experimental stage.
Naturally the submarine boat Of, say,
five years hence, will greatly excel
the one of today, but it must be con-
sidered that the latter represents
the best type we are acquainted with
at present. There may be better
boats invented, but they are on pa
per, and we can only deal with those
in practical shape" g
That the effectiveness of submarine
boats would ever reduce the number
OF battleships in the navy was ridi-
culed by Capt. Sigsbee.
First and always battleships," he
continued, 'have the greatest often
sive as we'll as the greatest defen-
sive power. Nevertheless, subma-
rines could relieve the larger vessels
in a great measure as harbor defenses
for the influence on an enemy con-
templating al attack on a port patrol
led by submarines is tremendous. The
moral effect of knowing that there
is real danger that can come at you
at any time, which you cannot fight
effectively. is immense, and such is
the fear inspired by the presence Of
submarine boats"
Admiral Dewey determined his at
titude on the question in 1900, when
he said to the house committee on
naval affairs, in speaking OF subma-
rine boats: "If they had had two
submarine boats in Manila l could
never nave held it with my squadron.
The moral effect, to my mind, is in
finitely superior to mines Or torpe-
does or anything Of the kind. With
those craft moving under water it
would veal people out. With two
of these in Galveston all the navies of
the world could not blockade that
place."
