sWoBODA IS PROVING

#fS A MAN OF MYSTERY y
 Paris, April 2Although the po- lice investigation of Raymond Swo- bodas charged with being responsible for the fire aboard the steamship La Touraine, has brought additional facts regarding him, he remains something of mystery. Several of his friends profess to consider the charges against him entirely unfounded.
 M. Trescat, a stock broker, who knew Swoboda we'll. says he can see no possible motive for the act of which he is accused After hostiIi- ties began and business was suspend ed on the Bourse, according to Tres cat, Swoboda sought some other oc- cupation. The plan he adopted, M. Trescat says. was to go to the United States and obtain samples of military clothing, equipment and tools which the ministry of war would be likely to purchase. To this end he visited many factories in America, diving as a reference MT. Morrison. who is one of the most widely known general merchants in Paris. Upon the strength of this reference he obtained the samples he sought, according to Trescat
 The police credit this statement of M. Frescat, for when they searched the office in the Avenue De LsOpera, where five trunks belonging to Swo- boda were stored, they found that two

Havre, April 2.-Expert chemists who are Investigating the causes of the fire aboard the steamship La, Touraine now express the belief that it was not the result of an explosion but originated in three large cases of textiles which were stored in the baggage hold.
 The investigation has disclosed, the experts assert, that the flames could not have been caused by spontaneous combustion and from this they con- cIude that the contents of the boxes must have been set on fire. Pieces of textile similar to those placed aboard the Touraine have been subjected to high temperatures without combustion taking place How or when the blaze plain for they have found no traces of any incendiary device.
 It is pointed out that if the fire had started in the hold proper instead of the one in which the baggage was stored it would have been extremely difficult to prevent the destruction of the ship in view of the highly. inflam- malble nature of much of the cargo.
 Examining Magistrat Baranum will examine all the witnesses it is possible to bring before him.
 Raymond Swoboda, who is under ar rest on a charge of being responsible for the steamship fire, has not yet been been transferred to this city but is ex- peeted to arrive tomorrow. The trunks and other property of Swoboda, which were seized in Paris, have been sent here but will be opened only in the presence of the prisoner.

DYING LIEUT.. CARTS
SAN TELLS OF EMDEN-
M0USQUET FIGHT

TOXIC, Dec. 26.-Stirring details of
the engagement between the French
destroyer Mousquet and the German
cruiser Emden when the Emden was
Heelng from Penang after having sunk
the Russian cruiser Jemtchug, October
%, appear in the Straits Settlement
Times.
Lieutenant Carissan, the second
in command of the Mousquet, who
now lies in grave at Sabang, told
the story Of the fight just before his
death:
When those on the Mousquet heard
the cannonade at Penang they steam
ed straight in. only to md they were
opposed to the Emden. 1t was like
pup endeavoring to fight a bull ter
Tier, hut nevertheless they headed
straight fer their enemy in the hope
of getting home a torpedo before they-
themselves were disabled But it was
not to be. They were met with a hail
of shells; men fell right and left
Holman the bugler went down and the
vessel itself seemed to crumple like
paper. But still they rushed forward
A shell burst on the bridge deck, be-
tween Lieut.. Carissan and his COM
nlander, Capt. Theroinng. Carissans
left leg was shattered in three places
and when he was able to look around
he found his captain lying in a pool
OF blood, his legs practically blown
away.
The MousqUet by this time was
sinking, and men rushed forward to
help their commander before the end
came. But he would not be moved
Ordering the men to continue their
fire, he had himself dashed TO the deck,
of the fight. And SO died Capt The
roinne, his little vessel fighting until
the water closed over the decks.
The Emden picked up So survivors
Of the Mousquets crew. Five We're
terribly wounded and of the remainder
only is escaped hurts. The Emdan
trans shipped the survivors to the
British steamer Newburn and then
escaped, TO meet her doom later from
the Australian warship Sydney.
The commander of the Emden and
his men had nothing but admiration
for their opponents. Everything was
done for those who were picked up
in the way of surgical attention and
the provision of such comforts as We're
available. Lieut.. Carissan's leg was
amputated. but from the beginning it
was realized that his case was hope
less and, although conscious all the
time he was on the Newburn, he suf-
fered terrible agony and knew only

Of his career He died smiling and
