Mete0riC Career of
 German Propagandists
(By Associated Press)

In keeping with his financial opera tions as a German propagandist, which resulted in his arrest in France and an international scandal growing out of his attempts to purchase or cor rupt French newspapers in the inter- est of Germany, Bolo Pasha enjoyed a meteoric career in Costa Rica.
 Having received a considerable commercial reputation based largely on credit obtained from Costa Rica business men, Bolo became the ap- parent owner of a beautiful farm and handsome residence in the suburbs of CartagO. There he entertained on a lavish scale until he became enam- Ored of a French actress, lavished presents upon her, and finally fled with her, leaving his creditors to seize his princely estate, only to discover that it had not been paid for.
 Bolo is said to have abandoned the actress in Colon, Panama, leaving her to mourn the loss of money and jew els. ......, -..,,,4'
 Paul B0lO, as he was known here came to Costa Rica posing as a trav. cling salesman for important and well established manufacturing and com mercial firms in France. He was all ways seen well dressed, spoke several languages, had a most interesting con versation and good manners, was a gambler, and quite fond of paying at tentiOn to women. He soon made nu, merous friends, and being a plunger and hustler, soon obtained credit and launched into business He became l the owner of cOmmissaries and stores at different places, which he stocked full of goods purchased on credit from wholesale houses in this city His l business places soon boomed as the 1 result of his loquacity and facility to make friends, and once he had estab lished good trade for them he sold one by one at a good profit. In these l transactions he formed the basis. ht his capital, as it is a well-known fact that when Rolo came to Costa Riea he did not have a farthing to his name.
 In the purchase and sale of these business places he made several thou, sand dollars, but the climate of the Atlantic zone did not agree with him, and he was often troubled with fever and malaria. Furthermore, his long ing for the easy and apparently happy life of bar rooms and hotels, enjoy. ing the company of beautiful women and numerous friends, spurred him constantly to come to this city
 A Colombian by the name of Mos, i quera, who lived on a banana farm quite close to one of the stores owned by BOlO, became his very close friend Visiting his friend, Bolo made the ac | quaintance of his daughter, a charm ] ins~young girl of 16, with whom he became infatuated at first sight The girl was a rare specimen of tropical beauty-dark-complexioned, tall. slen der and graceful; her eyes as dark aS night and her cheeks as red as roses mediately went crazy over the girl but "Old Man Mosquera," as tht father was generally called, an affec tionate and faithful guardian of hi' daughter, a veteran of many Colon bian revolution, and a ready man tC handle razor, soon put stop to the love affair.
 Soon afterward Bolo sold out all his stores in the Atlantic bone and tool refuge in this city, where he remained in hiding until he heard that Mos quera in turn had also sold his prop critics and sailed for Colombia. Once Bolo had overcome his worry and anx iety over Mosquera he decided to en gage in agricultural enterprises. This was in the latter part of the year 1896 and it was then that he purchased g beautiful farm located in the suburbs of the city of Cartago, and belonging to wealthy Costa Rican.
