Wfe's Charges Revolving.

WIGS Sndrges HcVoItinq.
NEW YORK. Aug. 99.-It is learned
that Mrs. p. G. Hams, Jrs charges
against her husband were made after
she had been served with the Lapers
IN his suit for divorce. The charges
are of a revolving nature and IL If said
will Involve other officers in the army.
NEW YORK, Aug f5.-Grave accu.
sations made by Mrs. Claudia Hams
against her husband, Capt. p. c.
Hams. Jr.. U. S. A, who shot and
killed VIM. r. Annis, reveal the mo-
tive of the Bayside tragedy
The nature OF these accusations be-
came known today, when dispatches
from Winthrop Highlands. Mass. the
home OF Mrs. Hams, gave the particu-
lars of suit filed by the captains
wife against him. Papers in this suit
we're served upon Capt. Hams week
ago Monday, by the representatives OF
the wife's lawyer The papers con-
tain what Is called complete history
of mis- misdoiBgs.
Chas. II. Libby. father OF Mrs.
Hams. who made 1t known that his
wife had fled the suit. placed the
blame for the killing OF Annis upon T.
jenkins Hams, the Drotner.
Grounds Date From Honeymoon.
Mrs. Hams alleges that the grounds
for the charges she brought date back
TO their honeymoon, when Capt.
Hams was stationed at Fort Monroe.
No names are mentioned, but other
details are not lacking In the charges.
The accusations were dictated by
Mrs. Hams to her lawyer and after re-
vision by her were made the basis OF
the suit
II the special grand jury and spe-
cia Judge requested OF Gov. Hughes
by District Attorney Darrin, OF
Queens county, are granted. the trial
of the case, so far as the prosecution
is concerned, may not last over two
days.
Demanded Satisfaction.
Pursuit of definite purpose OF re-
venge Is shown by the announcement
that Capt Hams three times wrote 70
Annis demanding he should be given
satisfaction on the field OF honor. The
captains friends insist that Annis ig-
nored all three requests for duel.
The friends of Annis are equally In
sistent that meeting places were
keep the appointments.
Mr. Libby is vigorous In the defense
of his daughters name. He said to-
day at his home In Winthrop High
lands:
my daughter came back to US on
June This was a few days after
she had been so cruelty beaten by her
husband In the presence OF his
brother Thornton.
There is no doubt II was Thorn
ton who worked upon his brothers
mind to such an extent that he finally
shot and killed Annis. Thornton has
been the evil genius In this case from
It's very outset. Before II Is over
the complete history OF Thornton will
become public property and the world
will then learn what kind OF a man
he Is.
II want to say thatthe charges
Capt Haines has brought are entirely
without foundation"

Especial Two men were fatally

All the victims of the wreck live

eminent inspector. All were remov-
ed To Amherstburg in the Sullivan
tug Columbia" and the services OF
every doctor In the town were called
into requisition.
The Destroyer" was one OF a feet
of Is engaged in blasting out the Lfv-
ingstone channel, a $6,000,000 con-
tract. The explosion occurred just
after the shift In crews at o'clock.
The day crews were at work filling
holes with nitro-glycerine prepare
tory to blast and several OF the
holes had been already prepared. In
one of the bnles a charge had been
left by the night crew, 1t is said, and
in cleaning II out the men struck the
nitro-glycerine and caused II to ex-
plode The Jar set off all the other
charges that had been placed, but
the greatest damage was in the vi
cinity OF the hole where the trouble
started, which was almost directly
under the drill boat. The boat itself
was badly wrecked and the members
OF tAe-eFe~- we're hurled In every d.
rection.
Foreman Morenci sustained frac-
ture of the left shoulder, three brok-
en- ribs and injuries about the back

Castro StIrs France.

CARACAS. Aug.s ia sensation
has been caused In diplomatic circles
by the refusal of President Castro TO
permit the Brazilian minister TO
take charge OF French interests in
Venezuela, although DR. Jose Paul,
the Venezuelan minister of foreign
affairs. originally agreed TO this ar
rangement.
AS consequence of the attitude
OF President Castro. the foreign min
lister has indited a second note. TO the
effect that the government now re-
fuses to accede to this arrangement
because the dispute between Vene-
zuela and France bears a close rela'
ton TO Venezuela's dispute with the
United States and the proposed ar
rangement would therefore endanger
the continuance OF friendly relations
with Brazil.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 19.-Members
OF the diplomatic corps here do not
look upon the acknowledgements

arbitration. II Is of such nature. II
Is said. that the difficulty rather takes
on the quality of an affair OF interna-
tional honor.
A nine-hour session Of the cabinet
was held yesterday, at the conclusion
OF which the foreign minister. j. X.
d. NJ. Van Swinderen called upon the
queen and apprised her of the situa'
ton.
With the single proviso that no
military occupation OF territory must
occur the government at Washington
understood to- have given the cab
met OF the Netherlands a free hand
TO deal as II sees At with President
Castro OF Venezuela.
The recent interview between Ar
thur NJ. Beaupre. the American min
ister. and the Netherlands prime min
lister was cordial, and Mr. Beaupre
was able to assure the Netherlands
statesman that the Netherlands had
the sympathy OF the state department
and that no objection would be rails

measures against Venezuela.
