He struck Pagosa Springs all in

speak. with his oily tongue and slick
promises. He gave the name of w.
B. Boyd, stopped at the swell hotels

hampagne trimmings. OF course his
funds ran low In the course of time,
(as funds sometimes doD and Mr..
Boyd had ready access to a convenient

pert's draft. and the expert had S125

more on the endorsement of another

After Mr. Boyd had finished his la
bors at Pagosa, and made "a glowing
report to his superiors, he and Mr..

STAINS latest report from Constantine
pie says the embassies there are con-

agitators of fanatics, but II does not
mention the landing of marines. The
officials here say that if marines were
landed they would be from the small
guard ships maintained at Constant-
nople for police purposes. but which do
not form part of the regular neets;
that the landing of marines. If II has
taken place, would not be considered
naval debarkment in its serious sense
or a preliminary war measure. BY
agreement with Turkey, each of the
powers maintains two guardships at
Constantinople, France having two
small gunboats. 1t is said here that II

Washington, Sept. ct is evident
the United States government does not
share any apprehension that may be
felt in some quarters that there is

that they will be needed.
While Admiral Cotton has reported
his arrival at Beirut, he has not sent
any communication as to the condi-

movement of the squadron depends en-
tirely on the reports which Minister
Leishman and Admiral Cotton make to
their respective departments.
