WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Brazil
ian embassy in this city has received n
telegram from Baron De Rio Brance,
minister of foreign affairs. stating that
a few days ago several of the officers
OF the German gunboat Panther went
ashore in civilian dress and visited a
small fishing town called Itajahy, in

without any form Of process, seized
a man by the name of Stelnhoff. who
had left his native country, Germany,
as deserter from the army, and took
him with them as prisoner ON
the Panther.
Thereupon the gunboat left Itajahy
and went to another port in the state
of Rio Grande Do Sui. The three Bra
lillian cruisers. Almirante. Barrao, Ben
jamin Constant and Tamandare. were
sent to watch the Panther and see that
no similar occurrence should again
happen while the Brazlians made an
official protest against the action Of
those officers to the German govern

appear to be a severe breach of inter

Lights Burned Brilliantly, but World
Was Dark to Anna Sehaub-Second
Attack in Two Years--"l Am Blind
Again." Her Cry

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-With all be-
fore her n blank, Anna Schaub of 2S5
West Kinney street, Newark, sat today
rocking to and fro in a chair in the
home of her mother lamenting the
fact that she had been stricken blind.
Only twenty-four hours before the
girl was apparently in the best of
health and spirits. On Saturday night,
with several of her relatives, she at
tended q reception given by the I'm
known Pleasure club In a hall near
their home. With the other merry
makers she had danced for several
hours and was in the midst of a waltz
when she gave a scream and fell to
the floor in faint. Relatives and
friends resorted to simple remedies and
soon revived her. When she was able
to speak she asked what made it so
dark, and when told that the lights
were burning brilliantly, cried out in
agony:
ooh, motherl ] am blind again
Her mother was not present, but
relatives who were at once remem-
bered that Miss Anna had been af
ficted in like manner over d year
ago and for many days was unable to
see anything-in fact, it was not until
she had been operated upon by special
lists that her sight was restored.
The young woman was removed to
her home totally blind, The family
physician was called and said it was
recurrence of the old trouble. He
could not help the unfortunate young
woman, and it was decided to remove
her today to a sanitarium in New
York city, where she will again be
operated on. It is said that Miss
Schaub's trouble is due to paralysis Of
