gellan, Feb. 1.-The American fleet
Of sixteen battleships, which entered
the Strait of Magellan yesterday after
noon, is anchored today in Possession
Bay, some twenty miles 10 the west
ward of Dungeness Point, where the
strait proper begins. This information
has reached here by wireless telegraph.
The fleet was off Dungeness Point at
noon yesterday. according to telephonic
advices from that place, but appeared
to be scattered on account Of a heavy
fog which made the weather very
thick at the entrance of the strait.
The vessels were assembled again,
however, and entered the strait pass
ing Dungeness Point at o'clock, pro-
ceeding in single file. They were next
sighted off Cape Possession, which is
fifteen miles west Of Point Dungeness.
Possession Bay is only a few miles
west of Cape Possession, and about
five miles from the entrance to the
first narrows. 1t affords good anchor
age. and it Is thought here that Adj
mirai Evens decided to anchor the feet
rather than take any risk in navigating

WHY RING WENT BACK
M. D. TWICE MARRIED AND
MISS GREEN'S SENIOR.
Said That Family Opposed Her Marry
ing DR.. Darlington for These
Reasons and She Yielded.
TspecIal to the rvenlnr Star. !

TRENTON, Feb 1.-Following the
breaking of her engagement to DR..
Thomas Darlington, of the health de-
partment, of New York city, and the
departure of Miss Susanne Green, well
known in the best social circles, for
Europe with her brother. Henry w.
Green, railroad capitalist and lawyer,
relatives confirmed the report of the
broken engagement, and through them
1t was learned that Miss Green, who
is of a highly nervous temperament,
had broken down, and her condition
made an ocean voyage imperative.
The affair has created a great stir
among Miss Green's set, many Of
whom say that the girl was guided
entirely by her brother in the break
ing off of the engagement. The
brothers. reason, it was said, for this
course is that DR.. Darlington has been
already twice married, and was di-
vorced from his second wife. Another
reason which is said the brother urged
is that DIR. Darlington, who was born
in 1868, is much older than Miss Green.
Mr.. Green's opinion, it Is understood,
Is shared by other members OF the
family, although it is reported that
other relatives of Miss Green were
not so determined in their objections to
the match as was her brother.
The engagement was announced sew
eral months ago and society began
elaborate preparations for the wedding,
which was to have taken place this
winter. 1t was later announced that
the wedding would be a quiet one be-
cause of the recent death of the pros
pective brides mother. Then came the
announcement that the engagement
was off altogether.
Since the death of her nfether, Mrs.
Charles Il. Green, who was a warm
personal friend of Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land, of Princeton, Miss Green has
made her home in this city with her
aunt, Mrs. Robert f. Stockton. The
Green family has been prominent In
New Jersey since colonial days, the
male members of the family having
served as judges in the highest courts
and having been actively connected
with the best educational institutions.

Furniture Dealer Became

The police have in their possession
at the present time two confessions
which they say will clear up the rob-
berries at the gold refinery of Emil
Schneider, at 306 South street. In the
confessions, the police say, William
johnson, a negro, % years of age, OF
25 Calumet street, has admitted steal
ing at least $3.50 worth of gold. He
says he sold 1t to George Bernard, of

lice.

Detective -Sergeants Tuite and Horter
though johnson has been detained al
headquarters since Tuesday, Acting
Captain ConnelI, of police headquar-
tiers, with the two detective-sergeant
trying for three days to get Johnson
to make confession.
Photographs, new clothes and the
best of living led to the undoing ot
johnson. Up to six months ago John
son barely managed to make his SIC

case, and they began to trace TIL
movements of Johnson. They foun,
out where he had bought expensive
clothes, graphopones, records and othe
luxuries that $40 a week salary did no
purchase.
Yesterday Johnson admitted hi
wrongdoing. He admitted taking the
gold, which was originally in liquic
form, and by a process which ht
learned in the refinery concentrated II
into lump form and sold it to Bernard
who has a jewelry store at 221 Null
