berger author of ''The Land of Unlimited

SPAIN WANTS HER ORDNANCE.
Has Never Been Able to Recover It
From Cuba.

Spain has never been able to recover from
Cuba the ordnance left there at the termi-
nation of the Spanish-American war, and
Senior de Ojeda called upon Secretary Taft
today to learn the position of this govern
ment in the matter. Under the terms of
peace it was held that Spain was entitled
to all the movable ordnance in Cuba and
Porto Rico, and in the latter case its claim
has been recognized and the ordnance trans
ferred. But in the case of Cuba there ap-
pears TO be some difficulty in procuring the
recognition by the Cuban government of
the obligation entered into by the United
States.
Secretary Taft told his visitor that SO far
as he knew the United States had never set
up any claim to the ownership of this prop

MAIL BAGS MISSING.
Paris Authorities Disturbed Over the
Mysterious Disappearance.

PARIS, March 27-The authorities here
are seriously concerned about the myste-
rious disappearance of two official dispatch
bags containing orders to the French
squadron in the Indian ocean. The bags,
which were forwarded to the captains of
the French Warship Infernet and Kersaint
and which are said to have contained Or
ders relative to the movements of the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron, disappeared
between Port Said and Jibutil, French

The investigations made have not re-
suited in finding any trace of the missing
bags and some fears are entertained that
