Spain in diplomatic complications.
Learning there was an unclaimed
stretch of country on the west Afri-
can coast between Cape Bojodar and
Judy, opposite the Canary Islands,
LeOaudy engaged a crew of advent
urers, equipped his yacht ''Fras-
guilty." with cannon, rifles and ma
chine guns, and sailed to the Moor
ish town of Troja on this coast.
With fleet of Using snacks for d
navy and a retinue of Sailors and
adventures, he landed with great
coast, unturling royal standard"
of violet color, emblazoned with
three golden bees and a golden
crown, and proclaimed himself to
of Sahara" He claimed the hlnter-
land back into the desert; changed
the name of Troja to "Lebaudia,"
set up a toy government, issued de-
cEees, printed postage stamps, IN
scribed ''Poste du Sahara, and
signed himself Emperor du sa-
hara.'
Unfortunately for the new mon
arch, the Spanish government had
certain interests in the country, and
prompt complaint was made to the
French government. The latter sent
a gunboat, which bombarded Troja,
his Capital" and captured it, and
put an end to Lebaudy's empire"
Lebaudy escaped to Montenegro
and after another series of wild at
tempts to recruit other expeditions,
came to America in 1908.
In spite of the enormous sums he
expended, he managed to increase his
fortune. He registered at hotels as
Jacques l, Emperor of the Sahara.
Always he carried small fortune in
cash with HIM, and four attendants
dressed in queer uniforms. On his
arrival in New York he registered at
t:ie Hotel Belmont, but he kept suites
also in two or three other hotels. He
had apartments, too, in all parts OF
New York. He would turn up in all
sorts of queer places, and it was i'm
possible for reporters or photogra
pliers to find him, except by accident.
He always kept a taXicab waiting in
front, of whatever house, office or
club he happened to be visiting. He
always fixed his own time for paying
bills, and although he always paid
them, it was sometimes days OR
