THE CASE OF THE uMBRiA
Internal Machine Intended to Destro,
Her Has Been Traced to Chicago
Police Believe They May
UnraveI 1t All.

New York, May 19.-In the work OF
ulsentangling the Umbria Internal ma
chlne mystery, revelations came today
With b~eWildering rapidity. While In
spector McCluskey and some of his most
trusted detectives were busy in Chicago
and Washington, running out clues that
let in a food of light upon the strange
actions of NJ. Rosseau, one of his for
mer fehow boarders in the Currie house,
at 366 Vest Thirty-first street, came
orWa with a story, which, if it be
We'll authenticated, becomes at once one
OF the most sensational incidents in the
strange story of crime. 1t was from
R~osseau's room that the machine was
sent to the Umbria. Rosseau has dis
appeared.
Henry De Belmont found in a closet
Just outside the second story front room
Which Rousseau had occupied While he
lodged in Mrs. Currie's house the torn
fragments of an old French newspape
on the margin Of which were written in
French bits OF disjointed sentences and
phrases. When these fragments We're
English they may be made to read like
this: ""The destruction of the Naronic
was complete. Mr.. LIE Bruin, who made
the box, has this moment gone to Chi
cago."
De Belmont, who took his important
discovery to an evening newspaper be-
fore giving it to the police, says he
found these fragments of writing, filled
with their message Of ominous import,
In a pile Of ~sweepings, including old
newspapers and other rubbish. swept
from Rosseau's room after his depart
ure. 1t is alleged also that the writing
upon the margin bears a general re-
semblance in it's principal characteris-
tics to that of the letter of warning sent
by Rosseau to Police Commissioner
Greene the morning when the internal
machine vas found on the Cunard line
pier.
Should his sensational discovery
prove to be genuine, only one meaning
can be deducted from its words-that
the loss of the White Star steamship
Naronic ten years ago., which has un-
til o. been regarded as one of the
seas sealed secrets, may have been
caused by a device similar to that sent
to the Umbria.
The Naronic left Liverpool upon the
morning Of February IL, 1893, with
5000 ton Of freight, a crew Of fifty
FIVE men n many passengers. She
was never seen after she left the Mer-
sey, n to this day no word of her has
reached the owners Of the line.

PRISONERS REvOLTED.
Killing of Captain overton and Private
Noyes Due to Indiscretion on
Overton's Part.

Manila, May 19.-Capt. Clough Over

Yate Harry Noyes, who were killed
May is at Sucatlan, Mindanao, met
their death at the hands Of insurgent
prisoners whom they were guarding.
Their companion in this duty, Private
Harlow, was wounded at the same
time.
Capt. O%verton's troops OF the Fif-
cavalry had been scouting in the
department Of Misamis, Mindanao, on
the trail of the tnsurgent leader, Flores.
cavalrymen captured fifty of
Flores followers, and confined them in
a house at Sucatlan. Capt Overton
n three men remained to guard the
prisoners, while Lieut.. Cameron con-
tinued In pursuit of Flores. The pris-
oners suddenly broke out of the house
where they were confined, secured their
bolos and rushed the foul Americans
on guard. Capt. Overton was slashed
with q bolo and bled to death. After
escaping, the insurgents gathered and
renewed the attack on the Americans.
The cavalryman who was not wounded
repulsed the enemy and defended his
dead and wounded companions until
the return of Lieut.. Cameron.
Capt. Overton is criticised for having
kept only three men to guard fifty, and
for having neglected to destroy the in
surgents' bolos.
Flores is a Visayan, and the majority
OF his followers are Paganos living in
the Misamis mountains. No Moros

COTTON STILL EXCITED.

Market Shows No Abatement of Inter
est, but Is Rather Nervous.
New York, May 1s.-There is no gen
ernl abatement in the excitement in the.
cotton market apparent This morning.
An the opening there was an enormous
volume Of liquidation. under which
prices started 3 points higher to s
points lower, with belated shorts fur
nishing the chief demand. Europe and
spot houses are very heavy sellers
however, prices showed increasing
easiness, but We're later rallied by the
New Orleans demand.
After a slight rally following the
opening, which carried prices back to
near the initial figures, speculation
showed a distinctly subsiding tendency.
It was very apparent not only from
the slackened activity, but from the
decreased excitement, that the shorts
have filled all pressing necessities and
important interests showed a DISPOSE
ton to hammer the market. Liver
pool mi New Orleans also displayed
a reactionary tendency. Midday found
the local market 10 to 90 points lower.
