Domination of Central

Trade Rolls.

Madrid, May 1.-Deputy Augusta
Barcia Trelles, writing in La Liber-
tad Wednesday, adds another to the
long list of complaints published in Fl
Debate TEMPO, and other newspapers
against the actions of the United
States in connection with South and
Central America
Deputy Barcia, who heads his article
The Yankee Danger" says:
Never was the situation concern
ing South and Central America
more delicate than today.
After mentioning occurrences in
Chile, Peru, Bolivia. Ecuador. Mica
ragua. Santo Domingo. Cuba. and Mex
leo, Deputy Barcia continues:
There are notorious reasons for
affirming that the United States
is going ahead. with dissimulation.
and preparing for total domination
of the continent across the Allan
tic. Conditions changed radically
with world war. The strength and
economic powers of Europe in the
new continent. if not today. will in
the very near future be inferior to
those of North America. 1t is
impossible to deny that the United
States has displaced more than
80 per cent of European influence
in the markets of America and
soon will be the arbiter and sole
master of those immense markets.

THE WOMAN PoISoNER.

TT EVER woman deserved the name
MarQuise de Brinvillers. Her mis-
deeds shocked even medieval Europe
In q day when terrible crimes were
not unusual. This MarQuise was n
pretty little woman with an air of
youthful innocence. One day she was in
troduced by her husband to Godn de
st. CrOiX, young cavalry officer of
gay ways. The scandal of their rela-
tions soon became n topic of the hour.
When The husband of the Marquise
failed to interfere, probably because
OF his flight before creditors, her
father had st. Croix put I'm the Bias

his hand through an acquaintance
made in prison with one Exili, man
skilled in the methods of the Italian
prisoners.
When st. CrNiX was released a year
later he plotted with the Marquise to
be avenged on her father. He told her
Of the poisoner's recipes, and she tried
their effect on poor people who came
TO her door In search Of aims. And
by watching the results she decided
that II was safe to attempt the life of
her parent. This she did with com
plete success In 1885,
st. Croix had been avenged. But
more pressing matters weighed upon
him and his mistress. They needed
money. Then the natural question
arose why not poison her two brothers
and sisters so that she would inherit
the whole estate? But these guilty
lovers were crafty. They waited four
long years, when the two brothers
were despatched, with the aid of
valet An investigation followed, show
ing the method of their death, but
without directing attention to the
Marquise. Den st. CrOix suddenly
died E6 no heirs, so the police
were Cared In, and found among his
paF1ka documents which incriminated
the MarQuise and the valet. The latter
was caught, tortured, and confessed.
Then he was broken alive on the
wheel. But the Marqulse had taken
flight to England. Afterward she
went to Germany and finally TO

coyed by police official disguised as

THE WOMAN OF MISFORTUNE.

THE loves of Marion Delorme all
l. seemed to end In misfortune. She
was devotedly attached to Cinq Mars,
that brilliant young figure introduced
at the court of Louis XIII by the
great Richelieu. Cling Mars distin-
guished himself at the siege of Arras
In 1910 and Immediately felt himself
fitted for high command. He had be-
come favorlte of the king and q
notable Of the day. Richelleu either
believed that Cinq Mars was untitled
to command or else found his rising
star peril to himself. SO he opposed
the granting of the young mans
wishes. Louis temporized, and Cinq
Mars talked rashly of overthrowing the
cardinal. Then he did something much
worse, negotiating with Spain to fur
Their his conspiracy. Richelieu exposed
him and he was executed at the prema-
ture age of twenty-five.
His death plunged Marion into grief.
But soon she reappeared I'm that half

Then came the death of the cardinal
and the rise to power OF Mazarin, also
cardinal and first minister of France.
And not long afterward q civil struggle
began which was known as the Fronde.
Many OF the leaders were reputed to
gather at the house of Marion. That
meant more misfortune. Mazarin sent
TO have her arrested. But suddenly she
died and the cardinal was frustrated.
Now that Is the story which history
tells about Marion Delorme. But there
is another and far stranger Glory
which has many indications of truth.
According to this account she did NOT
