Lady Monteith's Experience

THEN there was Lady Eleanor Monteith, who
1 for an entire year acted successfully an
agent of the Confederacy, carrying important
messages back and forth between Richmond
and the rebel emissaries in Canada. Lady
Eleanor was of Irish birth, the only surviving
daughter of wealthy nobleman. She married
against her fathers wishes and emigrated to
Canada, where her high rank and great per-
sonal beauty obtained for her entrance to the
most exclusive social and official circles of the
Dominion. Her husband died in 1888, and
three years later with her only daughter she
went to Richmond. There she met the Sur
geon Director General of the Confederacy, to
whom she became engaged.
In the meantime Lady Eleanor undertook
to carry Rebel dispatches and letters through
the almost impenetrable Gordon with which the
Union forces had surrounded the Southern
States. For a year she carried out her mission
successfully until in 1862 the suspicion of the
Government secret service detectives became
directed toward her. She was captured in New
York and while she was in the military house
of detention the news came that the Confed-
crate Surgeon General to whom she was en-
gagged had been killed. Sur1nising that with
his death her interest in the South had come to
an end, Newcomb offered to release her with
public statement that she had been wrongfully
accused, if she would aid him in the detection
of the plans of the Rebel sympathizers in the
North. The thought of her daughter induced
her to accept this proposition, and accordingly
she was allowed to return to the hotel, where
thereafter she regularly received the friends OF

Involved a French Minister

A N important case was that which occurred
\ few years after the close of the Franco
Prussian war, stirring the country as deeply as
did the Dreyfus affair, and ending in the resig-
nation of the French Minister of War. The
central figure in this case was Baroness Won
Kaula, beautiful Jewess, the daughter of a
nobleman who had held an important post
under the Ministry of Finance at Vienna.
Some day perhaps when Russia has reached
condition of political and social equilibrium
the story of its spies will be told. The con-
spiracies of the nobility, the revots of the
peasantry, the Vaccinations of the Nihilists,
the absolutism of the Government, all COM
bine to produce atmosphere in which spies
flourish. But the great secrecy with which the
plots are guarded, well as the strict censor
ship maintained by the authorities, etfectually
prevents the issuance of any authentic accounts
from the Empire.
In the numerous revolutions which periodi-
cally disturb the peace of many of the South
American Republics, the ability of women to
obtain secret information is frequently brought
into play.
During the Boer war in South Africa, the
English forces were often subject to the espion-
age of the Boer women, and much of the infor-
nation which enabled the Boer leader De Wet
to evade SO long the net which the British army
had stretched about him was obtained through
the wives and sisters of the soldiers of his little
band.
The war correspondents who made Cape
Town their headquarters brought the story of
a spy who had assurance enough to
approach Kitchener. At the outbreak of hos
tties she had herself banshed from Johannes
burg as suspicious person, the more easily to
deceive the English. At Cape Town she rap
idly gained host of admirers among the
younger officers, and it not difficult for her
to extract information from these. She i'm
proved her first opportunity to meet Kitchener
after his arrival at Cape Town But glance
at the gaunt figure, rugged face, and piercing
eyes of the man who had avenged Chinese"
Gordon robbed her of her assurance; for
her realize that he was beyond her wiles,
and that instead of being a puppet in her
hands he would prove an all seeing master.

de L1tta, the COUNTESS Qe 0aSI1Sl1One,
who was compelled to leave France during the
latter part of the reign of Napoleon III.-are
all we'll known instances.
By far the great ma jority of the female spies
of course do not belong to the nobility, but are
gathered from every station and walk in life.
1t is even charged in Europe that the Cont
and able agents among American women. How
much truth there is in the allegation it is natu-
rally impossible to say, yet it is known that
the American wife of man who bears a pur-
chased Italian title was in the Russian employ
ment while residing in Paris in 1896.
The United States is the single nation among
the great world powers that does not maintain
a bureau of political and military espionage.
The spy, male or female, finds no place to-day
among the servants of our Government; yet
there are numerous instances in the history of
this country of the endeavors of women to
obtain secret information. Particularly was this
true of the Civil War period.
The story of the Federal spy, Major Pauline
Cushman, is well known as hardly to need
mention. She was an actress of Southern birth
and while playing in the Seven Sisters" one
evening at New Orleans introduced at the
request of some of her Confederate friends a
toast for the South and its President. She had
previously acquainted the Federal provost with
her intentions and SO when she was brought
before him after the occurrence at the theater,
he lectured her with mock severity, and an
ostensible punishment banished her beyond
the Union lines She was regarded by the
Southerners as a martyr to the cause, and thus
at the outset her career as spy was rendered
easy. Thereafter until the end of the war she
was an invaluable aid to the army.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-12-02


male agent to Fairfax Court House to learn the
truth. The Federal spy represented herself to
Miss Ford as Southern woman who was
endeavoring to find refuge from the United
States authorities, and begged for assistance.
Unwariy, Miss Ford revealed her secret
connections with the Southern army, and even
confided to her new friend that she had hidden
in the very mattress upon which they were
about to sleep a commission as an aide-de-
camp signed and sealed by the Confederate
General ]. E. B. Stuart.
No country in the world is more overrun
with spies or more addicted to the spy mania
than France. Between seven and eight hum
bred agents, male and female, are employed by
the Prefecture of Police in Paris alone to ferret
out the most private affairs of every person in
anyway connected with the Government, and
at periods of public excitement such as that
occasioned by. the recent Dreyfus case few
foreigners are free from the popular suspicion
of being secret enissares of other European
Governments, particularly Germany.

their conversations. By this means the Rebel
mail service was practically broken up.
More interesting is the story of Miss A. J.
Ford, another Rebel spy, who was captured by
was the daughter of prominent citizen of
Fairfax Court House, Virginia, town which
passed frequently from the control of one army
to that of the other. Early in 1868 it was
within the Union lines, and Miss Ford soon
became the center of attraction for many of
the Federal officers, with whose efforts to con-
quer the South she led them to believe she was
heartily in sympathy. She had freedom of
access to the Federal camps, and was thus in
a position to learn accurately the number and
disposition of the Union forces. On the night
of March a party of Confederate cavalry
under the command of the famous guerrilla
Mosby raided the Northern lines at Fairfax
Court House, and with little or no difficulty

more alien to American ideals than the elabo-

by all the Continental authorities in time of
peace well as during war. A great proportion
with the assurance that they will carry it
through more successfully than men could
possibly do. Their native tact and intuition
as well as their great powers of persuasion
make them the most desirable recruits for the
international underground intelligence lega-

Feminine talent in this line has always been
in demand from the time when the Cardinal
statesmen, Richelieu and Mazarin, divided the
inhabitants of France into two camps, each
spying upon the other. Even though the
individuality of these spies has been most
sacredly guarded by the few persons to whom
it was known, there is hardly period in the
