Artillery has been the chief mode

MALLORY LINE.
A LETTER.
MAKING DEMAND
FOR BIG RANSOM
Writer Says Captain, Some
of Crew and Passengers
Held on an Island.
BY AsSoCrATEo PRESS.

New Orleans, Aug. 29.-That Capt.
McLaren, some of the crew and a
few of the passengers of the Mallory
line steamer Marowijne, which is
missing and supposed to have foun-
dered, are held for ransom on Coze-
umel Island, Yucatan, is the state
ment made in a letter sent to a New
Orleans newspaper few days ago,
and which was Immediately forward
ed to the navy department and head
officers of the Mallory line in New
York. The letter said that as proof
of the statement, the watch, shops
papers and other documents would be
forwarded the New York offices and
would reach there tonight. With the
failure of the proof to arrive the
Mallory line officers gave out state
ment that the entire story is a hoax,
in their belief.
However, prior to tonight the
Mallory line, fearing that such a
fate had befallen the captain and
passengers, sent three Of its vessels
to the island named, but no report
has thus far been received from
them.
The letter stated that the Narrow
line foundered in latitude 10 north
longitude 50 west; that the crew and
passengers washed ashore and are
held for fabulous sum, which must
be paid. The latitude and longitude
named would place the vessels sink
ing about ten or twelve miles inland
and directly west of Ubero, a small
inland town.
The writer of the letter says he
came to New Orleans aboard the
Norwegian steamer Fell from From
tero, Mexico. The master of this
vessel, however, says his ship did not
pass within two hundred miles OF
Cozeumel Island.

former Chinese minister to Washing

The younger WI, who speaks Eng

palace of President Yuan. Being a
barrister-at-law, he was member of
the famous constitution drafting
committee which offended Yuan Shi-

on what the constitution of the
Chinese republic should be. It will
be remembered that Yuan Shi-kai
