Foreign Nations Anxious to Discover
How the Diver Aigrette Is
Constructed.
R U SSIA IN THE GAM E

PARIS. Oct. THE discovery made
submarine boat launched at Kiel is an
almost exact copy of the Aigrette, the
most perfect submarine of the French
navy, has. 1T is said, led to the discov-
cry that there are among the French
officers working In the navy depart
ment one or more who have been made
traitors by German gold.
A mass of evidence collected as well
in this city as at Toulon, Brest, and
Cherbourg is said to be in the pos
session of the government, but at the
wish of President Loubei. who fears to
have the last days of his administra-
ton marred by naval Dreyfus affair.
no arrests will be made until the chain
of evidence is absolutely complete, so
that the trial of the traitors, IL there
is to be one. may be conducted pub
licly.
French secret agents are now at work
at Berlin, and also in the German capi-
tai. Evidence is said To have been found
pointing to the guilt of certain high
officer in the navy.
The thorough investigation, according
TO statements, has also brought TO light
the fact that even Russia, Frances
friend and ally. has during the last
year been attempting to steal French
naval secrets, a fact which has aroused
much bitterness against a country
which owes France so much.
The constructor of the Aigrette de-
clares that although he is convinced
that Germany in some manner must
have got hold of the plans of his boat
which S-se fled in the navy depart
me7t the affair is by far not as serious
as it might have been. as the Kaiser's
agents have only been able to get
the drawings showing the exterior of
his boat. but not of the detailed plans
of the electrical engines. nor of the
peculiar apparatus which controls the
movements OF the boat when sub
merged.

DE BRAHA'S END
UNDER SUSPICION
Strong Demand for Investi-
CATION of Explorers Death.
SENSATIONAL REPORTS RIFE
Accounts Which He. Was Bringing
Home of Cruelties in Congo
Were Sweeping.

PARIS, Oct THE most sensational
reports are abroad concerning the death
of the Count Brazza de Savorgnan, bet
ter known as NJ. de BrazZa. who died
at Dakar, Senegambia. September 10.
and who was buried with much cere-
monial at Pere la Chaise last Wednes-
day.
For years France has half listened to
the odious stories of official cruelties
and outrases committed In the Congo
region. We would not believe these ter
rible reports Of conditions that rivaled
those of the stockades of the slavery
days, but they increased with such vigor
and the public clamor Tor an investiga-
tion was so persistent that the govern
ment resolved to send a mission to Its
west African possessions to find out the
truth.
AS head of this mission NJ. de Brazza.
the creator of French Congo. was Sc
lected and in this selection a laggard
honor was paid to a man whom France
had forgotten.
Worked Fearlessly.
It was known that NJ. de Brazza would
conduct his mission fearlessly and that
no man would be spared in his report.
His investigation OF the African hor-
rcrs had beer thorough and sweeping.
and then. on the night of September IA.
came the news that he was dead.
Dysentery is officially given as the
cause of his death. but the same people
who were determined that the scandals
in Congoland should be investigated are
now determined that all the circum-
stances of de Brazza's tragic end shall
be brought to light. Strange things are
said and strange things. II is believed,
will be disclosed
Forgotten for Decade.
For nearly ten years. because of a
political caprice, NJ. de Brazza was for
gotten. Whether he suffered because of
this indifference no one ever knew, for
in this unminded disgrace he displayed
the sarle simple stoicism that he did
when he carried out the great work that
should have kept his name honored in
the front rank of Frenchmen.
