TO HUMBERT FAMILY
Provincial Witnesses Testify Against
Paris SWindierS.

PARIS. Aug. 1.-THE Humbert trial
was continued yesterday. Provincial
creditors of the Humbert family testified
to loans of many millions of francs.
Their statements showed their credulity
regarding Nine Therese's story of the
Crawford inheritance.
Among the witnesses was a banker
named Schotsmans, whose brother was
mysteriously assassinated during the
time of the Hubert complications.
Nine. Therese dramatically asked
Schotsmans to exonerate her brother.
Roman Daurignac, from the suspicion of
completely in his brothers death. The
witness answered that his brother did
not know the Humberts.
Nine. Therese thereupon made a de-

GERMAN NATIONAL DEBT
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
But Huge Expenditures for Army and
Navy Continue.

BERLIN, Aug. 14.-It is announced
that the national debt of the German
Empire at the end OF the current fnan-
ciai year Will be a150, 900 900, which is
a large increase over that of 1902.
Within the past twenty years the debt
has steadily increased. The imperial
national debt, however, is only a small
proportion of Germany's real indebted
ness. The aggregate national debts of
Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and other
states within the federal empire
amount to the further sum of $780,
900 900.
The financial condition of Germany
compares unfavorably with that OF any
country with the exception of France,
but, regardless of this fact. the next
estimates will provide for a large ex-
penditure for both the army and the
navy.
