supposed to be dead. He was taken up by
one of the Spaniards, and he recovered
His injuries were so severe, however, that
his features were distorted and he became
hunchback The Spaniard who adopted
him, as it were, was Captain Suarez. He
taught him to read and write, and made him
a Christian. He treated the Indian boy SO
we'll that he came to love him, and his heart
was filled with gratitude.
Later on Suarez became unfortunate in
his speculations, and his house was about to
be sold by his creditors, when Catuna told
him that if he would make secret vault
under the residence and give him some in
struments for gold smelling he could find
enough gold to pay off his debts. He also
made his master promise not to say where
thelgold came from Suarez agreed to this
and Catuna supplied so much treasure that
he became rich man. He gave a great deal
to the church, and when he died in 1850 he
made Catuna his heir.
After that Catuna gave very literally to
the church and he was known to have SO
much money that he was questioned as to
the sources whence he derived his great
wealth. He answered that he had made a
compact with the evil one, to whom he had
sold his soul for this gold This statement
was credited, and the more easily because at
that time the Indians were believed to have
regular intercourse with the devil
After Catuna's death his premises were
searched and the vault was discovered It
contained great quantity of gold in ingots

Americans Free to Leave.

Americans may now leave Germany
as rapidly as train service is restored.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin so report
ed to the State Department via Copen-
hagen today, by cable.
Ambassador Gerard's cable was very
brief, giving no details, and was con-
fined to the announcement that Ameri-
cans might leave as fast as train serv-
Ice was restored. Officials assumed
that it signalized the completion of the
mobilization of the Germany army. as
previous official advices had stated that
Americans were being detailed not by
any order of the Berlin government, but
only because of the transportation of
troops and reservists.
Official advices that thousands of
Americans throughout the empire. many
of them at resorts and baths in the
south. were now free to leave. was re-
ceived with qualification by officials and
the news was given to anxious inquirers
who have been besieging the State De-
partment for the relief of their coun-

Americans Now Free to Leave Ger
many-Planning for Trans
portation.

A general effort is being made by the
United States to have the powers Of
Europe observe the neutrality of all
passenger vessels. whether belonging to
belligerent countries or not, which are
engaged solely in the transportation of
Homecoming Americans.
This became known this afternoon
coincident with the receipt at the State
Department of dispatches from diplo-
matte and consular agents in number
Of countries in the war zone stating
that arrangements have been made to
get the American refugees out of these
countries as soon as transatlantic pas
sage is assured
Although a sufficient number of re-
plies from the belligerent nations
have not been made to the inquiries
Of the American government. officials
were confident their project would be
successful.
A German-owned ship is ready to
take Americans from Austria, and an
effort is being made to insure her neu-
trality. Two German ships are ready
to take Americans from Genoa. but
are awaiting definite assurances as to
neutrality If they carry Americans
alone.

ticle 4 of the second Hague conven-
ton, which was agreed to by all the
belligerent powers except Servia and
Montenegro. This article says:
Vessels charged with religious, sci
entif1c or philanthropic missions are
exempt from capture"
The American government considers
that returning distressed Americans is
, work of philanthropy. Arrange

ents may be free to transport Ameri-
cans to the United States, but return
ing to Europe are to sail at their own

Views of Mr.. Reinsch.

Mr.. Reinsch expressed this view:
No argument is required to show that
war loans constitute most potent asset
to belligerent power. Relying totally
upon its own ready resources. many a
belligerent would have hesitated to ven
ture upon the fortunes of war. In other
cases, the cessation Of hostilities has
been directly traceable to the exhaustion
or closure q foreign sources OF money
supplies"

Result of Morgan Inquiry.

The rejection of the proposal that
American bankers be permitted to float
a loan for belligerent countries re-
suited from an inquiry made by ]. p
Morgan & Co., in which they stated
that certain private interests had ap-
preached them concerning a posslpie
loan to France. The Morgan firm
stated that no request had come from
the French government and that the
inquiry was made early to learn the
attitude Of the State Department in
case such action might follow.
The President consulted various au-
thorities on the subject. among them
Paul S. Reinsch. at present american
minister to China, and Oscar S. Straus,
Former secretary of Commerce and
Labor, both of whom made speeches on
the question at the meeting here In
1908 Of the American Society Of Inter-
national Law.
Views Of Mr.. straus.
At that time Mr. straus said: Every
one knows that the money ad-
vanced to be1ligerents signifies the CIV
ing to them of means for securing war
instruments Large Japanese loans
were negotiated and obtained publicly
in the United States and in Great Bri-
| tain, and Russian loans were adver-
| tised and obtained in France and in
Germany during the Russo-Japanese
| instrument.
TT is simply sophistication to hold
that a neutral cannot loan money to a
bellige.ent without performing an un-
neutral act, and yet permit the SUBJ
jects Of a neutral nation to do this.
Yet the international authorities are
practically agreed upon such discrim-
nation"
