Lima. Feb. s7.-Today Lima is re- grettinR that the stay of the American fleet Is drawing to a close. and the wis., iting sailors and officers are sorry that in two short days ahore-leave and en- tertainment will give place to the rou- tine business of the fleet at sea.
 The entertainments have been con- stant. brilliant and successful. the sailors have enjoyed their excursfons anG shopping expeditions. and they have maintained the reputation that khe man afoat has for spending his money when he is ashore. The shopkeepsrs, fruit vendors and curio dealers have reaped a rich harvest Thousands of men had liberty. but there has been no unpleasant incident or clash with the people of either Callao or Lima.
 There was an informal reception on board the battleship Connecticut yes- terday afternoon. followed by a sup per and dancing which lasted until midnight. Foreign Minister Polo was among the guests. The warship was fancifuily decorated for the occasion. The fleet is to leave here Saturday morning.

No Arrest Made.

Paris, Feb. 27.-No steps have yet been taken to arrest Paul Roy. who Is charged by his American wife. known as Glacia Calla, with the murder of her brother. George A. Carkins, at Newington. N. H.. on January 2. The report current yesterday that war rant had been received in Paris for the arrest of Roy was incorrect. Neither through the State Department at Washington nor the New York po- lice have the French authorities been notified of the commission of this ai- legged crime.
 It Is now evident that Roy fully expected he would have to answer a charge in connection with the death of Carkins, as it was learned today that M. Goron, a detective. was engaged by Roy to collect testimony. has been working on the case for several weeks. Goron declared today that Glacia Gala on the fourth of January, two days after the killing, gave his agent Tn America a version of the occurrence identical with that now set forth by Roy.
 Goron. speaking on behalf Of ms client, said there was no doubt that Carixins was Glacia Calla's brother and not her husband. He says the mistake of Colonel Henry Mapleson. who says the woman admitted to him that the name of her first husband was Car klns, could have arisen out or Glacia CaIia's habit of using false. names when she trayeled.
