PARIS October 15.-Four young women
had severe encounter in the Chapelle
quarter with a young Apache, who has
the distinction of having already served
two terms of Imprisonment before his
twentieth year. Before being sent to
jail the young fellow had been going
about with young virago as well known

self. After his imprisonment she decided
to jilt him. He. on his s.de resolved on
revenge and vowed that as soon as he
completed his second term he would cut
her nose off. He had just had time to
take the train for Paris after his liberia
tion and procure a knife. when he met
Jeanne on the Boulevard de la Chapelle
She was accompanied by three other
young women as robust as herself. AS
soon as the Apache attacked her with
his knife her three chums took up her
defense. and all four scratched, bit and
pulled the young thug almost to pieces
They threw him into the mud, kicked him
and might have been ultimate y victorious
If 1t had not been for his knife With
this weapon he finally got the upper hand,
and after stabb!ng each of the three he
finally began to belabor Jeanne, whom
he cut three times in the face and also
in the neck and chest. He would prob

FRENCH NAVAL PROGRAM.
Vote for New Construction Is About
$2O,oOO,OOO.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, October 15.-I have received a
copy Of the French navy estimates for
1908. and find from these that nothing
that will disturb comparative naval
strength is projected. The five years
program is not altered. and this years
installment involves the laying down Of
ten destroyers in private yards, and Of
five submarine boats in the government
works. The vessels on the old program
two armored cruisers, twelve torpedo
boat destroyers and sixteen submarine
boats. are to be completed. while work
will be continued on the six battleships
ordered this year. on two armored cruis-
ers. ten destroyers and thirty-five sub
marine boats.
In all France will thus have on hand
ninety-eight warships during the year.
For the six battleships included in the
list the vote totals $1O.214. SEQ; for four
armored cruisers OF the 1900 program.
s.. .523. 800; for the thirty-two destroyers,
81. 514 200. and for sixty-one submarine
boats. So 6O2, 200. This does not include
establishment charges. and, of course,
represents only the work to be paid for
during 1908. and not the total cost of the
vessels. The total vote for new con-
structton is about $20.9O0.00O.
