Maverick and the Siam expedition
Named BY Zimmerman
The foreign office being dissatts-
fled with the progress OF the con-
spiracy in this country, ChakraEarty
sailed from New York disguised as
Persian merchant, as did the Others
sent to Berlin by the local agents. He
was appointed directly by Zimmerman
to supersede all agents in the United
States and a code system was agreed
upon by which he communicated with
the German officials.
Zimmerman himself executed the
paper appointing Chakravarty and in
the Won lyle papers seized there are
numerous documents bearing on the
plot which will be introduced here.
Chakravarty got 100000, of which he
still has $4,000; Ram Chandra has
$4,000 which he has never accounted
for, Sarkar has $4,000. There has been
a large element of graft entering into
the conspiracy.
This case naturally classifies itself
into four separate expeditions. There

rea and the Chicago, India was to be
attacked from two points. From San
Francisco the attack was to be made
through Manila, China, Japan, Borneo
from Siam into Burma. In the East
it was planned to seize the Suez canal,
go through Persia, Afghanistan and to
the west coast of India.
1.-THE first strike was to be made at
Siam. 1t was planned to bury arms
and munitions at Phkoh, Siam. Tun-
nels were dug and men from all parts
of the country were assembled and
plans were made to march through
Anam to Burma, where the outposts
were to be murdered and the revolt
started.
Aided BY Germans
"The Henry s. left Manila with
arms and munitions, but its engines
blew out and it was seized. Most of
the men were arrested, some were
tried in England, some in Chicago
and the remainder here. German
agents have rendered aid to these
conspirators at Rio de Janeiro, Hol-
land, Genoa, Switzerland, Norway.

San Diego to make arrangements for
handling the munitions. Here a fic-

letter to J. Clyde HiZar, who was at
