Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
MARsEILLEs, july lit Is stated that
when the Russian converted cruiser Dnieper
arrived at Port Said with the crew Of the
British steamer St. Kilda, which the Dnieper
had sunk, the British complained to their
Consul that the Captain Of the Dnieper was
determined to take them to Russia.
The Consul accompanied by the COM
manders of the British cruisers Lancaster
and Suffolk, boarded the Dnieper and re-
quested that the British subjects on board
be liberated. The Captain Of the Dnieper
rudely refused the request, whereupon
the Consul informed him that if they were
not released within an hour special meas
ures would be taken. The Consul and the
officers accompanying him then left the
Russian warship.
Immediately after, the Lance ster raised
her anchor and swung around ready to
approach the Dnieper. This hint was
sufficient for the Russian Captain, who
instantly sent the st. Kilda's crew ashore.
They were brought here on a Pennsular
and Oriental Line steamer.

MADDEN SUES FOR DIVORCE.
Hartman Names Broker l.. v. Bell in His
Petition.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 1l.-John f. Mad
den, the turfman, to-day filed a suit for
divorce against his wife. Previous to the
filing Of the petition efforts were made
by the attorneys of Mrs. Madden to take
the deposition of Madden in the alimony
proceedings instituted by her several weeks
ago. Madden refused to answer the SUM-
mons this morning and Attorney h. L.
Northcutt, representing Mrs. Madden, got
warrant for Madden's arrest. Before
the officer could find Madden the latter's
attorney, C. j. Bronson, appeared before
Circuit Judge Watts Parker and secured
a temporary restraining order preventing
Mrs Madden's counsel from carrying out
their plans. Then Attorney Bronston filed
the suit for divorce in which Madden
charges his wife with undue intimacy
with l.. V. Bell, the New York broker and
turfman. In the petition he says:
Plaintiff states that on the - day of
October, 1904 he discovered to his surprise
and humiliation that defendant had formed
an intimate social relationship with one
Albert Sinonds and his wife, Laura Simonds,
both Of whom were inferior socially and in
former of whom, TO wit, Albert Silnonds.
was bad man of bad repute, and by means
OF such intimate social relationship with
Albert Simonds and his wife, Laura
Simonds, the defendant with their assist
ance had been meeting clandestinely and
repeatedly one L. V. Bell, n man Of notori-
ously bad repute and one whose mere formal
attentions would asperse the character Of
any lady
ship Madden says he protested to his wife
against such actions and insisted that for
the sake Of her own character and that of
her two children she refrain from receiv-
ing the attentions Of Bell. At that, he says,
she refused to allow him to speak TO her,
and he further alleges that for the purpose
of divorcing herself from him and obtain
ing the custody of their two children and
securing alimony she engaged rooms at the
Endicott Hotel in New York and with the
assistance of her father, Joseph Megrue,
and her brother, Enoch Megrle, took secret
and forcibe possession of the children and
refused to allow him to know where they
were kept at the tirno.
