Arrested in Winsted and May Also be
Charged With Arson.

Winsted, Jan. 16.-The police tonight
arrested Miss Mary Powers, a colored
girl. who has been employed by Luther
Chase as a servant. At the present time
the girl is charged with forgery but
Chief Stone of the fire department is
authority for the statement that a
charge Of arson may be added to-mor-
row.
The charge which was the cause of
landing Miss Powers in the lookup was
a forged check Of $100 which she cashed
at the First National bank The girl, it
is alleged, during the absence of Mr..
Case from the house went to his desk
and drew O. check in favor of Jennie
Lee. This she tried to have cashed at
the bank, but the cashier, Frank Hal
lett, was suspicious. He called up the
house Of Mr.. Case, but could get no re-
sponse. The girl left the bank, and a
few moments later he called up the
house again. This time he received an
answer and he asked if the check sup
posed to have been drawn by Mr. Case
was all right. The woman who answer
ed the telephone represented herself to
be Mrs Case, but in reality it was the
servant. Thr latter then went back to
the bank and received the $100. The
money was found hidden in the barn of
Mr. Case after the arrest of the girl
this afternoon.
There were two fires at the Case home
to-day and an investigation as to their
origin is being made. One started in
the cellar early this morning and
another one some time later was dis
covered in the attic. This latter fire
caused damage estimated at $780, Mr..
Case says that it Is his opinion that
the girl started the fires to cover up
some disdeeds. and Chief Stone Of the

OPERATIONS IN MOROCCO.
Four Columns oI Troops Leave Fez for
THZu

Tangier, Morocco. Jan. 1S.-Four COL
umns of troops have left Fez for Taxa.
The sultans brother commands one of
them, and the war minister, General
Menebhi, is In command of another.
The latest news received here from
Fez indicates that operations against
the pretender commenced January II.
No official information has been receiv-
ed since that date. but rumors from
Tetuan indicate that fresh disaster has
cvertaken the imperial forces. These
1umors are considered to be quite cred
ible because of the well known incapac-
ity of the commanders who were en-
trusted with the expedition.
The tribal outbreaks around Tangier
continue, but the local authorities are
taking stronger measures to repress
them, which, it is believed. will be ade-
quate to cope with tie trouble in this
quarter.

ed States is already discriminating

Of 1900. since we do not get the same

Now that President Roosevelt has made

CLAN-NA-GAEL ATTACKED.
Col. Blake, of Boer War Fame, Talks
Money Matters. >$

Money Matters. <.:5 &5
Pawtucket, r. l., Jan. 16.--Before an
audience made up of members of Irish
societies at reception in his honor,
Colonel John Y. F. Blake, leader of the
Irish brigade in the Boer war, tonight
made what he claimed to be his first
statement as to the financial assistance
given to Irishmen in the field by socie-
ties in this country. The statement
came as surprise. He said that the
Clan-na-Gael claimed to have appro-
priated $4,000 with which to bring home
the Irish brigade from South Africa,
and that the people now are inquiring
about the expenditure of that money.
He disclaimed having received any
money from the organization and had
knowledge of only two sums of money
sent to the Transvaal. He said he un-s
derstood that $4,000 was first sent to
bring home detachment of the Chica-
go ambulance corps, but this was not a
fact. The Boer government paid the
passage of the detachment from Dela-
goa bay to New York and supplied each
man with an additional 500. Shortly af-
ter the detachment left Delagoa bay
the $4,000 was received by United States
Consul Hollis at Delagoa bay, but as
the detachment sailed before the money
arrived Mr. Hollis returned the money
to the parties who sent it and got his
receipt. 81.
Colonel Blake further said that after
hostilities ceased he wrote a letter to
Hon. John P Finerty of Chicago re-
questing him to forward $4,000 to pay
the passage back of detachment Of
men from South Africa, promising re-
payment and interest. =.
Colonel Blake said that just before
leaving for Cape Town he took twenty
two men to United States Consul Cor
don at Johannesburg and gave him
power of attorney so that If the money
came from Mr.. Finerty the United
| States cohsul could use it in sending
the men back to America. He says he
received word from United States Con-
| sui Gordon that the money was receiy-
ed all right. Colonel Blake sailed from
| South Africa on September 10, toured
the continent and arrived on this side
November IL, being met here by the de-
| tachment forwarded by Mr.. Gordon.
From these men Colonel Blake said he
learned that they received the second
class passage and each took $25 for ex-
penses, and that United States Consul
Gordon returned G1S1 to the Clan-Na-
Gael. Then it was, Colonel Blake said,
that he first knew that the Clan-Na-
Gael had forwarded money.
In the statement issue is taken with
officers of the Clan-Na-Gael over their
failure to help the Irishnen in the field,
and in. conclusion he said:
II would like to know why the Irlsh
In America did not do something for
the Boer cause. The Clan-Na-Gaef has
been claiming the credit Of sending out
the Chicago ambulance corps, when IN
fact the corps was sent out by money
raised by private subscription, indepen"
dent Of all organizations"
