Two of Frye Crew Detained

Newport News, Va, March 10
Washington officials have been asked by
the customs authorities here to consid-
or the case of two of the crew Of the
Frye, who were on the Prinz Eitel. 1t
has developed that the two men who at
first were said to have enlisted in the
German navy, have been detained by
order of Commander Theirichsen on the
ground that they were German citizens
and still subject to service under Ger
man arms. Collector Hamilton said the
matter had been reported and that he
was awaiting Instructions. The men de;
tanned are Charles Frank and Robert
Rogge. Captain Kiehne, of the Frye,
told officials here he did not believe
they were naturalized American eiti-
zens and that they had not protested to
him when detained. +, Notwithstanding
that, it was said, representations had
been made in their behalf by American
citizens.
British Warships Lurking Near
Further word that British cruisers
are lurking off the Virginia Capes was
brought here to-day by the crew of the
British steamer Anglo Patagonian from
England, which has arrived here for
horses. They declared that five war
ships had been spoken to within vary
ing distances off the coast, as they ap-
preached.
A representative of the Campeignie
Generate Transatlantique, owners of the
sunken French liner Floride, from
which passengers were taken by the
Eitel, arrived here to-day to look aft
er the situation. The French company,
it is declared, will transport the in
eligible aliens to New York and will
later convey them to South American
ports to which they were destined.

CHAPTER XIII.
An AGENT From Russia.

An Agent From Russia.
The Black Hundred, not as individu-
ais but as an organization. began to
worry. Powerful, and often reckless
and daring because 1t was powerful,
1t began to look about for some basic
cause for all these failures against
Hargreave's daughter and Hargreave's
ghost. They had tried to put the In
quisitive reporter out Of the way; they
had laid every trap they could think
OF to catch the mysterious visitor at
the Hargreave home; they had thrown
out hundred lures to bring Har-
greave out of his lair, and failed; and
they had lost q dozen valuable men
and several thousand dollars. This
must end somewhere, and quickly.
. The one ray Of hope for the conspi-
rators lay in the fact that Florence
had never seen her father and knew
not in the least what he looked like.
They determined to try again In this
direction.
"Give It all up" said the countess
to Braine. II tell you, whatever Is
back Of all this is stronger than We
are He knows the organization, and
for all we know he may be q ghost"

There's something more than the mil.

bra Sraine was frank enough to admit
the truth of this statement, however
much he disliked the admission. He
nodded.
II have authority to take a hand IN
this affair. We cannot waste all sum-
mer. Those government plans Of the
Notifications OF the Panama are wait
Ing. There's your millions. But the
fact remains that It is the law Of the
Black Hundred never to step down
till absolutely defeated. The hidden
million Is but half; we must find and
break this renegade Hargreave."
"If he lives" said Braine.
who can say one way or the
other?" brusquely asked Parof. "The
fact that all your plans and schemes
have come to naught should prove to
you that you are not fighting ghost.
There is but one way to bring out the
truth"
And that is to make captive Of
his daughter" supplemented Braine.
And we have worked toward that end
ceaselessly. We are quite ready to
listen to your suggestions, count"
And SO am IL thought the man
