as Count West and tho woman a. Che

az Count West and the oma a. Che
countess.
One Of the daughters of this union
was Victoria Josephine. another Flora,
and the son bore the name Of Ernest
Henri Jean Baptiste.
Pepita Duran, the former dancer,
otherwise Countess West" died In
March, 1877. and there appeared in
the Paris papers Of the time tho fol-
lowing:
Lionel de sackville-W West, first Sec
rotary Of the British embassy In Paris,
and minister pIenipotentiary par in
term, begs his friends and %acquaint-
ances to be present at one Of the
masses held in the Church Of Notre
Dame On August II for the repose Of
the soul of Josephine, Countess de
sackville-West, his WIFE,"
This announcement ma4ie the ro-
nance public. It surprised the old
families of Great Britain and immedi-
ately raised a question as to the status
OF the children. The countess of
Derby, Sir Lonel's sister. threw the
weight of her social influence on the
side of the daughters and this estab-
lished them.
John scott's Part In tho Romance.
1t was at this time that John Scott
came to know the elder daughter, Vic
toria Josephine, who was then ten
years old. He knew her only as a
child romping about the diplomats
suburban villa, but his fondness for
her continued throughout all the years
which followed, during which he be-
came immensely wealthy.
From Paris Sir Lionel was sent
first to Argentina, then to Spain, and
In 1881 to Washington as British min
lister. The dancers daughters accom-
panied him, and Victoria Josephine,
just turning into womanhood, became
the chatelaine Of the embassy and a
leader in Washington society.
Seven years thereafter, by the death
Of his brother, Sir Lionel succeeded to
the title of Lord Sackville, and it was
about the same time that he, by writ
ing a letter advising a former British
subject living in this country how to
vote in the Cleveland Harrison cam
paign, had his passports returned to
him by President Cleveland, and he re-
turned to Knole Park, Kent, England,
discredited.
In the mean time Victoria Josephine
had married her cousin, Lionel Ed
ward Saskatchewan, and had gone to
live on the Kent estate.

PROOPBCTOROL LURBD
BY FAKE LETTER
Army of American Gold Seekers
Fooled Into Going to
Bolivia.

An army Of American prospectors.
drawn TO Bolivia by fake letter. tell
ing Of rich gold fields in that country,
Is TO be diverted into a legitimate en-
deavor to open up the unexpIored min
eral resources Of that country, accord
ing to dispatches to the State Depart
mens from Minister Knowles
Investigations by Minister Knowles
have proved that the fake letter which
attracted American prospectors was cir
culated by a German fugitive from JUS
tice. now resident in Bolivia This Ger
man is the owner Of large tracts Of land
along the Tipuania River and II has
been learned that the fake was under
taken for the purpose Of booming lands
The letter bore the name OF Ferguson
who was said TO be an American mining
prospeCtOr. II was circulated among the
mining communities Of the Western
States and Alaska. and brought many
Americans TO Bolivia
Warnings against these reports were
issued through the State Department
upon the request OF Minister Knowles,
but the damage had already been done.
Investigation has shown that there is no
gold to be obtained by the ordinary
Ttpuan.a River, and Il Is asserted that
the Tipuania is not worth half the poor
est river IN Alaska.
The Bolivian government. which has
done all In its power to assist the Amer
lean prOspeCtors thus lured to Bolivia
now proposes that they undertake the
exploration Of regions supposed to be
rich in mineral resources. bureau Of
mines has been established. at the sug-
gestion Of Minister Knowles and placed
at the disposal OF the prOspectors En-
gineers and guides are to be provided by
the government to take the prOspectors
to those regions where II is believed
gold in paying quantities may be found.
1t is believed possible that these efforts
OF the Bolivian government may obtain
for the prOspectors a reward for their
long journey. and at the same time prove
z great benefit TO the nation through the
opening up Of mining fields which have
hitherto remained uneXPlored for want
