look dishonorable. but when explained

given will be satiefactory.

son definitely located. Congressman

navy. cousins of Mrs Newhouse interest
ed themselves in the case and asked Secre-
tary OF State to order search Instruc-
tions TO that effect were cahled the Consul-
General at Cape Town. and the reply inst
received shows that young ewhouse can
not be located.
All the other United States Consuls in
south Africa have been instructed To
look out for Newhouse and report any
trace of him.
The father and mother of the Young
man, IL seems, regard the letter from Cape
Town as genuine. In fact. they seem In
have received more than one letter
The Newhouses both saw that letters
are direct from their son Charles. but
there is still thought to be an air of mvs
terry about them.
Speculation takes the form of the fol-
lowing question: Ii Newhouse was Mt
Cape Town, why did heconceal his ident-
ity, and again disappear. after having
written home? Why should ne write
home II he did not intend TO remain in
communication with his people? Why.
having decided To write home at all, did
ne not iully clear up the mystery OF the
case? Why should he write vaguely of
making fortune, stranger in n strange
land, when capital and opportunity were
his at home.
II on the other hand, the letter was
not genuine, who could have written it
and with what motive? Was il some
one wishing TO furthercloud suppose clues
IN the case when in fact there were no
clues2 The latest chapter in this most
remarkable case is as strangely myster-
ious as all the others.-Baltimore Sun.
