DUKE DENIES HE Was ROBBED
Laughs at Report of Thefts of
Toilet Articles.
Members of Italian Embassy Also
Characterize the story as Absurd.
Nothing Missed from ships.

The Duke of Abruzzl and his aid are
much amused by the absurd story printed
I'm some Of the papers that his toilet
articles and the buttons of his uniform
had ell been stolen.
He has stilI the necessary brushes TO
give his hair the finish that one expects
on a royal head, and quite enough buttons
to keen his clothes together in the proper
form and manner. In fact. his buttons are
all intact. a fact which Will cause the
public to breathe more freely.
Nothing i'm his stateroom was disturbed
as a matter of fact One little. insignifi-
cant ash tray was taken as a souvenir Of
the occasion Of the brilliant ball al which
the duke was host on his flagship, the
Yerest. at Hampton Roads.
At the Italian Embassy yesterday much
regret was expressed that such report
should gain circulation, as it was pointed
out stories Of that nature are calculated
10 create a wrong impression of Ameri-
ca and its people in the eyes Of Euro
peans.
'f would not want any of my country
men to think that the men and women of
America could be invited TO enter an Of
ficers ship a princes ballroom, or any
mans house. without purloining his pos
sessions" said an attdche of the en-
basSy Yesterday.
Besides. do you suppose there are no
sentinels on a man-Of-waT?' he continued.
when we asked Lieut. Negrotto. the
dukes aid. about it, he simply laughed.

Havana, May 2o.-Ensign Brisbin, Of
the cruiser Tacoma, who was mixed up in
the recent row with the police at Santa
go, shot himself with a revolver in the
left lung at o'clock this morning on
board the Tacoma. which is now at Guam
tanamO.
The news came here in the following
telegram from Commander Tappan, Of
the Tacoma, to Commander Wood. Of the
Dixie, the latter being senior naval Off
Ger in Cuban waters:
AT . a. M, May q. Ensign Brisbin
shot himself with suicidal intent, with
revolver. in the left lung. His condition
is critical"
While Commander Tappan makes no
explanation. it is believed here that En-
sign Brisbin's act was prompted by the
knowledge that he would be tried by
court-martial for his participation in the
Santiago affair
Il will be recalled that he drank In a
cafe there with enlisted men. When he
left he said he believed the police intend
ed 20 attack them. This il-judged re-
marked aroused the sailors, one Of whom
took Police Capt. Lays sword cane away
from him, thus starting a row.
Ensign Brisbin's whole participation in
the affair was uabecoming an officer.
While no court-martial for him has yet
been ordered. naval officers here think
that Ensign Brisbin probably received bad
news from Washington.

Some Time

New York. May 2o.-It became known
to-day that it viii be some little time be-
fore any serious move is made ~ the
dissatisfied telegraphers who have criev-

the Western Union. President Samuel

a conference with several of the directors
Of the Western Union.
President Small says he feels sure that

was no change IN the situation as far as
he and the company is concerned. The
Western Union proposes to run its own

The official report received at the Navy
Department yesterday of Ensign Bris-
bins attempt at suicide does not state the
cause FOR the officers act, but the general
surmise here is that he was despoBdent
over the prospect of possible c0urt-mar-
tial for his conduct in the clash between
sailors from the Tacoma and the Cuban
police at Santiago on April 90 Ensign
Brisbin joined his men i'm resisting the
police on that occasion The official re-
ports Of the row were never made public
here, but part az least Of the blame was
placed upon the Americans.
Ensign Brisbin was born in Idaho and
appointed to the Naval Academy from
Pennsylvania He had the reputation Of
being a dashing officer, OF considerable
physical prowess, and in the service no
surprise was felt at the reports that when
he saw the police giving the worst OF it
10 his men he joined in the fight He was
badly wounded in consequence.
Special Investigator Sent.
Because Of the serious injuries suf-
fertd 10y the Americans, Secretary Taft
not only sent a special agent from Wash
ington 70 investigate the case, but or
dered Gen. Mag0on TO make an in
vestigati0u and 20 spare no pains at get
ting to the bottom OF the affair. The
chief of the Santiago police and the
captain Of the rural guards, together
with all the policemen. were temporarily
suspended by Gov. Perez until the Incl
dent was sifted to the bottom. Investi-
CATION seemed 70 lay the major share Of
blame on the American sailors. and En-
sign Brishin was especially condemned
for the part he had taken I'm the row by
the Cuban officials at Santiago. It was
asserted that Ensign Brsbu ordered his
men 10 attack Capt. Lay, of the police
and. furthermore, that he drank with
the enlisted men. AS this would natur-
ally be a very serious offense. Secretary
Taft understanding that the reports
came from preiudiCed sources. ordered
Col Robert l. Bullard Of the United
States army, 70 go to Santiago and make
a thoroughly impartial Investigation. He
sent a full report of all particulars to the
Secretary at Washington. Pending ac-
ton by the Navy Department, Secretary
Taft did not make # public. The infer
enCe was that it reflected to the dis
credit Of Ensign Brisbin and his men.
i was said by department officials last
night that Ensign Brisbin doubtless
would have had 10 face a COurt-martial
for his acts, but nothing more would be
made public about the matter for the
present.
Much sympathy is felt for Ensign Bris-
bin here
There is only one other motive the Off
Cials can assign rs q cause for his act
Il is known that Brisbin has been in poor
health for some time, and that it was at
his request that he was transferred from
his post in China where he had been
serving for the last few years to his
present post ON board the Tacoma. lie
was said to be suffering from melancholia
and it is said that he has never fully re-
covered his health.

of the absence of a witness, was con
cluded in the district court this morn

amounting in damage to $3.50.
