The Colombian Government Has
Been Repeatedly Robbed.
Manuel Suarez Kept Under SurvelI.
lance by Agents of the Colombian
Government - Story of the Disap
pearance of Express Package Of En-
eralds Valued at $4,000.

New York, Oct. 8. - Detectives
were posted at the doors of the Hotel
Breslin yesterday, and whenever a
certain midde-aged Spaniard left the
building they followed him. When he
returned they took up their watch
again at the exits. The sleuths we've
obeying an order from London to keep
under surveillance Manuel Suarez OF
Colombia, South America, passenger
on the Oceanic, who was arrested
when he arrived in New York last
Wednesday.
Suarez was released in custody OF
his counsel after his arrest on a
charge of attempting to smuggle into
the United States emeralds valued at
$20000. The prisoner said he had in.
tended to take the emeralds to the
custom house and pay the duty, be-
lieving that in so doing he would con-
form to the law. Commissioner Shields
will give him ali examination.
1t became known that the detectives
are confident that through the finding
of Suarez they will get light on more
than one mysterious robbery of en-
eralds of which the Colombian govern
ment has been the victim.
From a most unexpected quarter
that of the Wells-Fargo Express COM
pany-facts have been supplied that
make Suarez a figure of great interest.
About four years ago that company
sustained what was then called a
"loss" of emeralds valued at $4,000.
The package vanished in transit, it is
supposed, but at what point is a mys-
terry. 1t was shipped from Bogota,
Colombia by government agent. The
Wells-Fargo company became con.
vinced that the jewels were stolen.
Their clew led to suspicion against
certain employees of the Colombian
government. but to no definite knowl-
edge
The Colombian government learned
recently that Spaniard was offering
emeralds for sale in London. This in
formation, added to the fact that the
Colombian government had been
robbed of emeralds to a large amount
within year, caused the London
agent to become active Some one
who learned that Suarez had sailed
for New York cabled the detectives
to keep him under surveillance.

DEFECTIVE EoILER TUBES.
Secret Service Agents Probe Charges
In Relation to New HattIeships.

Pittsbuls, Oct. 5. - Secret service
agents Of the United States govern
ment, working under orders from the
department Of justice, are investigat-
ing charges filed with Secretary of the
Navy Bonaparte that the United States
government has been made the victim
OF gigantic fraud
1t is charged that several of the
largest and most costly battleships in
the United States navy are equipped
with thousands of boiler flues which
were never subjected to the govern
ment tests and that many Of them
were delivered to the government and
placed in the vessels after they had
been rejected az defective by the gov
ernment inspectors.
The warships directly involved in
the charges are: New battleship
Maine, battleship Georgia, armored
cruiser Colorado, armored cruiser
Pennsylvania.
The charges are against the boiler
aues placed in these vessels at the
time they were built, but also affect
nearly every vessel in the American
navy which has had fues installed
since 1898.
The author of the charges, which
were submitted to Secretary Bora
parte through United States Senator
j. B. Foraker of Ohio, is Frank L. EN-
NETT Of Sharpsville, Pa, who was in
charge of the shipping department of
the Shelby Steel Tube company's
mill at Greenville, Pa, when this
company made the tubes for four war
ships. He confessed his part in the
alleged fraud against the government
and swears to a statement containing
all the charges.
If the investigation now being made
substantiates the charges made by Mr.
Emmett it will probably mean several
million dollars worth Of boiler works
In the finest ships of the navy will
have to be torn out, as it is charged
aboard them are in constant danger
| Of destruction because of the defects
In the tubes supplied to the govern
ment.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Truman H. Newberry, who turned the
charges over to the department of
| Justice for investigation, declares that
as a result of the charges he has sent
a warning to all government inspec-
tors, telling them what is suspected,
without naming the mill to which the
charges apply. He said that he be-
lieves it can safely be said that there
is a good prospect of somebody being
put where repetition Of the thefts
of government stamps to defraud the
government, as charged by Emmett,
will be an improbability.
Mr.. Emmett, author of the charges,
| confesses that as head of the shipping
and finishing department of the Shell
by Steel Tube mill, where the tubes
were made, he Systematically deceived
the government inspectors and super
intended the covering up of defects in
tubes that had been rejected and
which were later used to fill govern.
