fat man with the jovial face who had
taken Prosper under his protection, NJ
Verduret.
Reaching Paris at 8 o'clock in the
evening, not by the Lyons route. as he
had said, but by the Orleans train, NJ
Verduret hurried TO the Archangel,
where he found Prosper impatiently
expecting him.
you are about to hear some rich de.
velopments," he said to Prosper, land
see how far back into the past one has
to seek for the primary cause of a
crime. All things are linked together
in this world of ours. If CASTOR de
Clameran had not taken q cup OF cot.

years ago, your money safe would not
have been robbed three weeks ago.

in 1866 for the murder committed for
love of her in 1910. Nothing is neg

And he related all that he had dis
covered, referring to voluminous
manuscript which he had prepared
with many notes and authenticated
proofs attached.
~ wonder how you discovered all
these infamies." said Prosper when he
had finished.
The fat man smiled. "When under

whole attention to it. Now. make q
note of this: When a man of ordinary
Intelligence concentrates his thoughts

IN object, he is certain to attain that
object. Besides that, | have my own
method of working up a case. To be
Eure, one needs some light to guide one
in dark affair like this, but the fire
in Clameran's eye when l pronounced
the name of CASTOR ignited my lantern.
From that moment walked straight
to the solution of the mystery as to a
beacon light"
PrOsper's look showed that he would
like to know the secret of his protect
or's penetration and at the same time
be more thoroughly convinced that
what he heard was all true-that his
Innocence would be more clearly prov
ed.
"Now, confess" cried NJ Verduret,
"you would give anything in the world
TO find out how | arrived at the truth!'
Il admit it, for it is marvellous"
NJ. Eerduret enjoyed Prosper's bewil-
derment. To be sure, he was neither a
nd dicfin iSh nH a q.
teur; but admiration is always fiatter-
ing, no matter whence it comes.
WELL" he replied, Il will explain my
2ystem. There is nothing marvellous
about it. We worked together to find
the solution of the problem. You know
my reasons for suspecting Clameran
had hand in the robbery. AS soon as
had acquired this certainty my task
was easy. What did l do? l placed
trustworthy people to watch the par
ties in whom | was most interested.

charge of Clameran, and Nina Gypsy
never lost sight of Nine. Fauvel and
her niece.

per.
"And what have you been doing dur

asked NJ. Verduret after pause.
At this question Prosper blushed.
"Alas," he stammered, 81 read in a
newspaper that Clameran was about to

There is nothing like ASTHMA

PHILIPPINE SERGEANT
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Tells of Twelve Water-Cure
Administrations.

The Senate Committee on the Philip
pines had before it this morning Leroy
z HaIock, Of Boston, Mass, formerly ser
geant Of Company I Of the Twenty-sixth
Volunteer Infantry.
He testified as 10 the administration of
the water cure 10 ten or twelve FiIipinos
in order to compel them 10 show whether
they had participated in the murder of
Private O'HearH, Of the same company,
roasting him over a SLOW fire. and then
"boioins'' him.
One Of them confessed and implicated
others. Tne torture was administered on
two successive days.
Information was obtained the first day.
The water cure was administered by
members Of his company, under the or
ders Of First Sergeant Manning; Cap
tain Glenn, who commanded Company I,
was in his quarters at the time-quite
close.
The natives were sent to the guard
house.
Some Of them escaped, and FIVE or six
were shot in trying to escape. This oc-

SERIOUS SITUATION
Aq SAN DOMINGO
The United States to Send a
WarshiP There.
TWO DISPATCHES RECEIVED
Minister Powell Reports That the Revo-
luton Is Being Headed by the Vice
President of the Republic-Old Hip
polyte Controversy Revived.

Two dispatches were received at the
State Department this morning from VIII
liam F. Powell. United States minister to
the Dominican Republic. The first states
that the present revolution is led BY the
vice president Of that government This
adds a serious feature to the situation. it
is explained
The second dispatch says that the claim
of SaIa & Co. against the Dominican
government has been satisfactorily set
tied, and that the agreement was signed
today.
The claim. which was originally for
about $200, 900, arose from money loaned
TO President HippoIyte and used in the
purchase Of arms and ammunition. His
successor in Office attempted to repudi-
ate the bond on the ground that it was a
personal obligation of Hippolyte, and that
the Dominican government was therefore
not bound by it This decision has been
reconsidered, with the result given above
AS result OF the cablegrams the State
Department has requested that the navy
send warship to San Domingo. The re-
quest viii be complied with. although the
boat has not yet been selected 1t is
probable that the Machias viii be sent
While there is no immediate danger
threatening American interests in the is
lands, the situation IS deemed sufficiently

Process.

Secretary Root today sent 80 the Presi-
dent pro TEN of the Senate his reply to
the Senate resolution calling for state
ment Of expenditures in the Philippines
and the impossibility, in any event, in
furnishing anything but an approximation.
He transmits memoranda from the Quar-
teTmaster General, the Surgeon General.
and the Chief of the Signal Corps, show
ing the difficulties involved in securing
the Information sought by the resolution.
making it impossible to comply with the
resolution for several weeks TO come. Sec
retary Root says:
The difficulty arises from the fact that
the answer TO the question, What parts of
the different classes of expenditure for
the support of the army are properly as
signable to the conduct of operations in
the Philippines depends upon a great
number of facts which are not matters of
account, but which have to be ascer-
tanned from other records than the books
Of account
The Secretary says the service OF troops
has never been calculated according TO
geographical locality, but by time, and
that the passing Of troops 90 and from tho
Philippines makes 1t impossible to state
at moments notice what proportion Of
expense should be charged 10 service here
and in the archipelago. Continuing, he
says:
Large quantities of supplies and equip
ment have been sent to the Philippines
and thence to China, and portions of them
returned to the Philippines. Large guam
titles originally sent to China were sent
from there to the Philippines. Where the
different parts of these supplies were
expended the books do not show and can
not show. Much time and painstaking
labor viii. therefore. be required 10 an
swer the resolution, and at the best the
answer can be but an approximation
The work is being done with as great
rapidity and care as is practicable. and
at the earliest possible day the results
viii be transmitted to the Senate"
