ANOTHER VERSION OF m

OLYMPIA, Feb. l9.The arrest and de-
tention Of f. II. Ames by Pierce county
deputy sheriffs yesterday has enabled
Douglas, the embezzler, TO make his escape
when he was almost within reach Of
the officers. It was thought that Douglas
was in Tacoma, and when his wife pre-
pared 10 leave Olympia for that place the
officers felt sure Of IT. A message was
sent to the Tacoma chief Of police asking
him to meet the Olympia boat and shadow
the woman. II was the suppositiun ok
the officers here that after she bad found
lodgings Douglas would be sure to call on
her and could then be arrested.
The same day some one not connected
with the sherif's office wired the sheriff
in Tacoma, asking him to meet the Olyin-
pia boat and arrest three people,"
Accordingly, two deputies met the boat
and arrested Ames, Mrs. Douglas and the
children. They knew what was up and
said nothing until they had been taken to
the county Jail, and Douglas, who, IL is
said, was on the wharf waiting for his
wife, made his escape.
After sweating Ames and the woman,
the Pierce county officers were convinced
that they had made a mistake, and re.
leased them. In the meantime Douglas
had taken the tip and left the city.
It il believed here that Ames and doc4
tor in Chehalis have been passing letters
back and forth between Douglas and his
wife. When Ames came here Wednesday
he brought letter from Douglas, who
then in Tacoma to Mrs. Douglas.
Sheriff McClarty says that his office did
not ask the Pierce county sheriff to make
any arrests.
The description Of Douglas does no6
tally with that Of Ames in the least. Doug
las is large man weighing about 200
pounds, while Ames Is much smaller.

BY THE BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE

LONDON, Feb. l9.--Lloyd's is today
asking a premium OF 30 per cent against
the outbreak Of an Anglo-Freneh war with

casse has also allowed Russia to use Jibu-
til, in the French colony at the head Of
the Red sea, as base for the rendezvous
Of the Russian feet. This is decidedly con-
