JEWELS MISSING
Belonged 10 King Miguel and We're Put in Bank When
 He Was Dep0sed.

Lisbon, April 24.-When King Miguel was deposed as ruler of Por- tugal in 1884 the crown jewels val ued at $2,O0O,00O were confiscated and deposited in the bank of Portu- gal as the property of the state. Re- gently the republican press has charg- ed that large portion of these jew els had been sold without the con- sent of parliament to meet the ex- penses of the royal house. King Manuel thereupon ordered that an inventory be taken and this proved that jewels to the value of $750,0OO were missing. Furthermore the ad- ministrator of the royal house de- clared that the government which al that time was controlled by the "ro- tative" parties had consented to their removal. The governor of the Bank of Portugal admitted that the sale had been made upon the urgent de- mand of King Carlos, who desired tc meet certain pressing debts of the royal household in order to avoid a scandal. After the facts had come to light, King Manuel summoned the minister of finance and announced his intention of personally refundins the value of the missing jewels te the royal treasury. The attitude ol the young king in this matter has evoked universal admiration, even among the republicans.

COURAGE GAVE OUT.
Desperate Attempt to Blow Uu Train
 Failed at the Very Last Moment.

Butte, Mont, April 24.-Lack of nerve at critical moment caused the failure of desperate attempt last night to hold up the west bound north coast limited at a point two miles west of Welch's spur and about 12 miles east of Butte, on the line of the Northern Pacific. Rudolph Wenk, Paul Filenius and Albert Teasdale have been arrested for complicity in the attempted hold up and are being held in the county jail here. Wenk and Filenius, who are Germans, admit having participated in the Tagging of the train, claiming, how ever, to have been forced to act by two armed and masked desperadoes, who, when the train had come to a halt, lost their courage and made. a quick flight Fiienius and Wenk walked to Welch's spur station where they arrived and told of the affair. They declared that the bandits had fifty sticks of dynamite with them and that 1t was planned by the mask ed desperadoes to blow up a portion of the train to secure the money sup posed to be aboard. A stick of dyna- mite was found on the top of low bluff beside the cut in which the train was stopped.
 What was supposed to have been the report of torpedoes. thought to have been placed on the tracks, were reports of shots fired at the en- gineer by the two bandits, according to the two Germans.

MIME GOULD LANDS
Ex.C0Unfess CasielJsne Met in Rarbor By Prince Helie
 To-Day.

Naples, April 24.-Madame Anna Gould, formerly Countess de Castel- lane, arrived here to-day from New York on board the steamer Fried rich der Crosse and was met in the harbor by Prince Helie de Sagan, to whom she is reported to be en- gagged. When the steamer came into the harbor the prince was enc of the first men to get on board. He rushed to Madame Gould's cabin, met her at the door, lifted his hat and kissed her hand. The prince was much an- noyed by the presence of reporters and refused to be interviewed. The tutor of Madame Gould's children. however, was more accessible and in brief interview said Rest as- sured that the marriage viii occur, but nobody can say when or where, and I am not in a position to ask. My conviction rests on Shat I have seen and heard from Mada:ne Gould. am sure it is true love match based on reciprocal esteem"
 Prince de Sagan was greatly an- noyed at the crowd of reporters and finally turned to Captain Blocker, the commander of the Friedrich der Crosse, and begged him il German to make the reporters keep away.
 Prince de Sagan and Madame Gould are both stopping at the Ber- tolini Palace hotel, where each has an exclusive suite of rooms.
 After Madame Gould and the prince had been some time in con- versation the entire party, accom- panied by the proprietor of the hotel where rooms have been engaged for Madame Gould, landed in d special launch and took an automobile from the dock to the hotel. Madame Gould was quite pale, but smiling and apparently contented. Before leaving the ship de Sagan and Gould had long conversa- tion in the ladies' saloon. Madame Gould took the prince to her cabin where he met her three sons: He kissed them repeatedly. The party at the hotel had breakfast and the prince apparently repented of his rudeness towards the newspaper men for he allowed them to approach him and even permitted one man to take a photograph of the three Gould children.

That is indeed a glorious certainty, but
