Raisuli intercepted one Of the messengers

that might be taken against Raisuli.
The Hkmass tribes held a meeting yes

vow STERNBURG IN GOOD HEALTH
German Ambassador Returns From vacs.
ton at Home In Fine PHYSICAL Condition.

Baron Speck Won Sternburg, German
Ambassador to Washington. who arrived
yesterday aboard the North German LLOYD
steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm. permitted the
reporters to interview him last evening
at the Holland House.
He said the rumor that he was afflicted
with cancer was without foundation in
fact. He found that he and the Baroness
needed a rest and they decided to take q
vacation of two months and spend it on
their estate in Germany. He had had a
delightful time and was going back to his
post in Washington in fine physical oondi-
ton. He had had a pleasant trip. not
withstanding the Kronprinz's encounter
with an iceberg. and was glad to be back
in America. This expression. he declared,
was not perfunctory; it was no empty
compliment, but a solid fact. He said he
did not understand why anybody or any
paper had suggested that he was going to
resign.
He said he knew nothing of the American
b~attleships going TO the Pacific until Mon
day, when the American liner New York
told the Kronprinz by wireless something
on the subject. The Baron declined 70
discuss any phase of affairs affecting Japan
and the United States. He looked well
and assured the reporters hat he never
felt better.

wa begun at Brest to-day.
Greger charges the Countess with having
msiiciously and falsely accused him OF
stealing a valuable blue diamond ring OF

and herself at their chateau in Brittany.
He was arrested at the time, hut not prose-
cuted.

mother, the Countess de Trobriand, died
last night at Brest.

on his clients two marriages for love. one
OF his wives having been a young Ameri-
can, who wal the daughter of a penniless
officer. and upon Count de Rodellec's mar
riage to a widow twenty-five years older
than himself but possessing a fortune of

The De Rodellecs treated the Gregers
with the utmost consideration from August
?. the day the ring was lost. until August 20.
Counsel gave a dramatic account Of how
the charge was made on the latter date.
When Greger was bidding farewell to
Countess de Rodellec, she being alone in
the drawing room. the Countess said:

~chateau?"

LONDON, July l0.-That sartorial purist,
the Tailor and Cutter, edged a critic into
the crowd at Ambassador Reds reception
at Dorchester House on July 4 and prints
the result OF his observations The critic
generously admits hat the garments worn
on that occasion, both by the ladies and
gentlemen, were, on the whole. very
creditable productions. but he excerpts
specimens he saw Of the obviously Ameri-
can made garment which failed hopelessly
from the point of view Of taste and artistic
finish" Here is one of his complaints:
I'VE saw two or three fiat braided morn
ing coats and at least one frock coat with
bone buttons in place OF the more artistic
silk top buttons, which it is the rule Of Eng
lish firms to use in this connection. To the
eye trained to the fitness Of things this
outrage on good taste was particularly
saddening
In regard to ladies tailoring, the American
garments fare badly. The critic sasy
They build too much on the principle OF
an ironclad vessel. with layer upon layer
OF plate. The body garment has a heavy,
shapeless appearance. giving its wearer a
square. squat look which detracts greatly
from the stylish appearance which the
general build Of the American lady places
at the disposal OF the tailor to enhance and
beautify."
Lest, however. any international compli-
cations should arise from these structures
the critic adds that they are made in no
hostile spirit. but by one interested in the
welfare OF his American cousins, and who
Ia anxious that their other activities. which
they have 30 satisfactorily copied from the
British, may soon also include tailoring.

DYING, She ACCUSED ROSSI
YOUNG WOMAN, BRUTALLY BEAT
EN-, SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES.

h Declared mat When she Resisted Ital-
lan's Advances He Became Enraged
and Attacked Her-Her Nose and Skull
Broke and Her Ear Drums Ruptured.
Elsa Won Dessauer. tho young woman
who was taken to the J. Hood Wright Hos
pital on Tuesday with a fractured skull
as the result Of an alleged attempt at Grim
inal assault by Carlo Rossi, a banker, on
July 4. died yesterday morning. just be-
fore she died she repeated the accusation
against Rossi.
The case was reported to the police by
DR.. Arthur Beatty when the woman was
taken to the hospital. He said that he
had been called into Miss Won Dessauer's
apartment at POS West Eghty-eighth street
on the Fourth and found her suffering from
q fractured skull. broken nose. ruptured
ear drums and bruises which indicated that
she had been violently assaulted. At the
request Of the girl and her sister. Mathilde.
he had refrained from reporting the case
TO the police then. as it looked as IL the
injured one would recover all right. She
told this story:
My sister and I attended a little Fourth
OF July dinner at the apartments Of Carlo
Rossi and his brother at $40 Amsterdam ave-
nue. Carlo and l had drunk a little too
much chianti. perhaps. n | felt a little
faint. I therefore excused myself for a
few minutes. leaving Carlo and his brother
n another young man whose name l
don't remember talking with my sister AT
the table. l went into a side room and
lay down on a couch. In a moment the
door opened and Carlo came in. He came
up to the couch and insulted me. | re-
sisted him and he seized me. He got en-
ragged in the struggle and beat me badly.
finally snatching a vase from the mantel
and smashing it over my head. Then l lost
consciousness"
The girls sister, Mathilde. confirmed the
story DIR. Beatty said she told him. h
and Albert rushed into the room when they
heard the commotion and found Carlo
struggling with the girl. Albert seized him
and made him calm down n they put the
girl into a carriag e and took her to the
apartment where the two girls live in
West Eighty-eighth street.
Alder Rossi was again arrested yester-
day and held in 500 bail in the Coroner's
court as a material witness in the case.
Carlo disappeared a few days z and the
detectives are looking for him. The dead
girl was a dressmaker. Her sister was "A
chorus girl in the Little Johnny Jones"
company last year, but left the stage to
help Elsa with the dressmaking. They are
both in the early twenties. According TO
Mathilde they had known the Rossi brothers
for more than two years, but had renewed
their acquaintance with them only recently.
Carlo Rossi was a banker and Custom House
broker at 40 Baxter street.

Special Gable Despatch % TIE Sun.
The HAGUE. July l0.-Mr. Choate's pro-
posal regarding the immunity Of property
at sea In times OF war was again discussed
at the conference to-day. The discussion
was again adjourned for a week. although
as far as can be seen at present its adoption
is no nearer probability.
M. Beernaert Of the Belgian delegation
made n long speech urging the ending OF
the discussion, as the great Powers were
not In agreement. Moreover. the ques-
ions Of blockade and oontrsband must be
settled first. Mr.. Foster, on behalf OF
China, spoke in favor Of the proposal.
Senior Barbosa Of Brazil changed his
previously expressed opinion and said the
questions of blockade and oontraband
should be settled first. He maintained thai
the English proposal abolishing ~contraband
protected more private property n safe
guarded neutrals better than the American
proposal for the abolition Of capture.
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein reiter-
sted that nothing could be done without
a previous discussion Of the blockade and
c~ontraband questions. He declared, how
ever. that he was not opposed to the Ameri-
can proposal absolutely, only professionally,
being quite willing to reconsider the matter
II a suitable settlement were reached on
associated subjects.
NJ. Bourgeois Of the French delegation
again advocated the French compromise,
which involves the abolition Of prize money.
Various suggestions for a compromise
were submitted by other delegates. Sefor
Larreta Of Argentina announced his inten-
ton Of voting against Mr.. Choate's pro-
posal. The British delegates did not speak.
There was a long discussion about taking
a vote, which Mr.. Choate demanded should
be a direct one without reference to any
compromise. The final decision was that
the vote might be taken on July II II Mr..
Choate then demanded it, but the discus
sion should be considered to be closed.
Alternative proposals may, and doubtless
will be, debated.
