ST. PETERSBURG. March l9.-No

feeling of anxiety is tense. A few Off

they have been withheld.
In this the public sees an omi4lous sign.
All kinds of rumors are atioat as a re-
suit of the silence maintained by the
war office and the ract that the cor
respondents apparently have been muz-

streets have been of the widest charac-

Her Peruvian Interests.

Miss Rawls, 1t is said, went to New
York twelve years ago and opened an
Office as stenographer. A couple of
years ago she was sent to London on
confidential mission by parties inter
ested in Peruvian mining enterprises
She was paid well for this service and
in the meantime had acquired consid-
cradle money by making good invest
ments with her earnings. 1t was while
in London that she met and married Mr..
Reader, a native of Now Zealand. who
had been in the British diplomatic serv-
lavishly and secured interests in a large
number of mining properties. They then
went to New York for the purpose of
disposing of their claims.
Negotiations were closed up TO the
point OF the prospective purchasers
seeking an option from their coun-
sci, preparatory TO closing the sale
The opinion of the attorney, however
proved unfavorable, and the deal fell
through. 1t is alleged that Mr. Crom-
well was the attorney in question who
advised against the purchase by his
clients. The Readers consequently
on being informed that Cromwell was
Interested in Santo Domingo affairs
FASTENED to make the whole matter
public.
All the papers submitted by Mr.
Morgan in connection with his charges
against Cromwell and the Readers
were ordered printed for the use OF

MORGAN
GOT FORNAT|ON
FROM MRS. READER
Charge Against Crom-
we'll Has Created
a Stir.
Is STEP RETALIATORY?
Cromwell Is Said to Have
Blocked Mrs. Readers
Peruvian Enterprise.

A decided stir has been caused in
official circles by the latest develop
ments in support of Senator Morgan's
recent allegation upon the floor of the
Senate, behind closed doors, that Will
liam Nelson Cromwell represented
foreign interests which were attempt
ing to have the United States Govern
ment act as a collecting agency in
Santo Domingo.
Emphatic denial by Mr.. Cromwell,
and the confederation of Senator
Morgans charges by Mr.. and Mrs. A.
B. Reader, Of London, st Petersburg.
and Paris fame, who gave him the
data on which he based his charges,
contributed to the perpleXity of the
situation.
The attitude taken by the Readers
is due, it is understood to q spirit of
retaliation against Mr.. Cromwell for
his alleged interference with their at
tempts to negotiate a sale of some
Peruvian mining property.
Senator Morgan's Informant.
Senator Morgan got the information
upon which he based his sensational
charge from Mrs. Reader. who called
1
John Marshall place. She took with her
all the papers and documents bearing on
her own personal matters, and also pre-
scented a number of letters from promi-
nent men. She further claimed the Sen
ator's assistance as a constituent.
She told the Senator that if the pend
ing treaty were ratified, IL would be a
great wrong 10 both the United States
and Santo Domingo. and would also
cause her serious loss. The Senate.
after an examination OF the papers, ex-
pressed himself as perfectly satisfied
with them as substantiating the wo-
mans story. It was these he read upor
the Senate floor and announced that ful
proof of Mrs. Readers assertions coult
be ascertained through the investigation
Tor which his resolution provided.
Little is known here OF Mrs. Reader
1t is explained that she is a constituent
of the Senator, that she Was formerl,
