SWINDLED WITH BAD CHECK: Miss Harriet Clogg Confesses to C McClusky. Captain McClusky of the New York de- tective bureau said yesterday that Miss Harriet T. Clogg, otherwise Mrs. William A. Busnau, formerly of Baltimore, who was arrested Tuesday night after returning from Europe, had confessed to him that she had been engaged in swindling by means of checks. She was locked up that night with her two months’ old baby, which she took with her to police headquarters yesterday. The specific charge against Miss Clogg is that on December 15 of last year she represented that she had an account in the Astor National Bank of this city. She thus obtained $400 from the Bank of Com- merce of Baltimore, where she lived. The detective says she also told him she got a diamond pin, valued at $500, from Frederick A. Greubel of Baltimore, giving a check on the Astor National Bank for $788. She then owed the jeweler $200 for other trinkets. Captain McClusky says she also confessed having secured a seal- skin muff and jacket from Albert Sigmund of Baltimore, paying for it with a $300 check on the Astor Nattonal Bank. The woman admits she is not the wife of Dr. Wm. A. Busnau. According to her story Dr. Busnau went to Baltimore about four years ago with a hockey team from Canada, and she married him, Afterward they took a trip to London. She said she afterward found out that Dr. Busnau had a wife in Canada from whom he had not been divorced. Se eee KANSAS EDITOR SHOT. pt. Attempted Assassination Attributed to a Political Feud. Frank W. Eliott, editor of the Troy, Kan., Times, a democratic weekly news- paper, was shot by an unknown assailant as he alighted from a Grand Island pas- senger train Tuesday night. Mr. Elliott had scarcely proceeded a dozen steps on his way from'the depot when a man concealed behind a freight car commenced firing at him at a range of eight or ten feet. He was shot in the arm and side and painfully wounded. Mr. Elliott drew his revolver and fired several shots at his as- sailant, but could not recognize him in the darkness. ‘The attempted assassination has caused - great excitement. Mr. Elliott's friends In- sist that the attempted assassination is traceable to the bitter political war that has been waged in Doniphan county for a@ long time past. Mr. Elliott had been arrested-for libeling a political opponent, but escaped imprisonment. Pool Grinstead, editor of the Walthena Star, who has been with Elliott in his fight against the repub- lican leaders, is serving a term in jail under a conviction for libel. Mr. Elliott is a prominent fusionist, and was executive clerk under Governor Leedy. —. o0—___ Received by Queen Regent. The commander and officers of the Argen- tine warship Presidente Sarmiento, now on a visit to Spanish ports, received an en- thusiastic welcome yesterday at Madrid from the enormous crowd which had gath- ered at the station to greet them on their arrival there. They were given an audience by the queen regent at the palace at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. ——__+e-+—_____ Manitoba Politician Killed. = Gavin Ross of Emerson, Man., nominated to oppose McFadden in the late bye-elec- tion, was killed yesterday in a runaway accident. ROYALLY WELCOMED Our Soldiers Had a Fine Time at Gibraltar and Malta, SHOWN EVERY POSSIBLE COURTESY No Wonder the Boys Think Highly of Their English Hosts. MANY INSPIRING INCIDENTS + The following extract from a letter writ- ten by a Washingtonian, who was an of- ficer of the 1st District Regiment, and is now with a volunteer regiment in the Phil- ippines, is of interest, describing, among other matters, the courteous attentions shown the United States troops by the British at Gibraltar and Malta: “I presume the papers have kept you posted as to our movements, and may also perhaps have made some allusion to the exceedingly courteous and very agreeable attentions shown us by the British officers of both the army and the navy at Gibraltar and Malta. I am sure there is no officer of this regiment who would not feel disap- pointed if our people at home failed to ap- preciate fully the heartiness of the welcome extended to us by these fine fellows and the true ring of friendly sympathy in every act and word. We have not been long away from home, but I doubt ff there Is officer or man in this outfit whose heart has not learned to bound at hearing his own tongue, spoken by real friends, in strange lands. And the English have been so sincere and straightforward in their manifestations of friendliness, so entirely free from the in- sular reserve and prejudice, so cordial, and so much like our own countrymen that they have disarmed all criticism and made us loyal friends. Stopping at Gibrattar. “When we reached Gibraltar, after eleven days at sea, there was so much to do and so many interesting things to be seen that the thirty-six hours of our stay there were crowded full. We met many royal good fellows of both branches of the British ser- vice, and they did everything that could be done to make our stay both pleasant and profitable. There were eight ships of the channel fleet in the harbor and we paid the usual courtesies as we passed them on our way to anchorage. Before we reached the allotted position the British admiral had an officer alongside us to eall on the com- manding officer. We visited back and forth that day and the next, and when we left for Malta (there having been an accident to our steam windlass which delayed get- ting our anchor and kept us in harbor un- til dark), they gave us a sendoff that was appreciated all the more because it was un- expected. We were some little distance away from the first ship on their left flank as we lay at anchor, and as we moved down toward them the night was so dark we could not make out what was going on on board the fleet. Wonderfal Enthusiasm. “But, as our course necessitated passing close to them, we soon found out. Our band had been waiting for hours, everybody expecting momentarily to start away, to play out the harbor, and started off in good season with “God Save the Queen.” When we were close enough to the Mars (the nearest ship in the line) to make out her people we found that the crew were all on deck and ‘manning the rail.’ Our men, of course, were also all on deck to see the sights, and in a moment we had them all at attention along the rail. The Mars band played the “Star Spangled Panner,” and as we came abreast the ship the band stopped and at the word of command the crew gave us three hearty cheers. Indi criminate shouting and yelling has always, in this regiment, been a cause for tempo- pjourn in the ‘mill,’ followed by an unpleasant ten minutes with summary court, and our men kept quiet until the colonel gave the order, when they cut loose and gave the Britishers their own with interest. Each ship of the fleet re- peated the kindly ‘good-bye’as we passed and as we went by the 1 one our band leader had something very like an inspiration, and after his salute and the reply by the British band he touched off “Auld Lang Syne,” which was so sug- gestive and so full of significance when considered in connection with recent events that it worked both sides up and put such @ spontaneous force into their lungs that they fairly ripned the night wide open. Royal Welcome at Malta. “When we reached Malta the British were ready for us and nothing could have been more cordial or sincere than our wel- ccme, our stay and our farewell. We lay at anchor three days, and they were all too full of things to do and things to see and people to meet. If we could have re- mained a week we might have covered all the ground laid out for us. The colonel and his staff were dined by Admiral Sir John and Lady Fisher at Admiralty House on Tuesday evening, and met there a half dozen officers of the army and navy with their wives. Later the same evening the entire party went to the governor's palace, where a musicale had been arranged in their honor. The next day the colonel and staff went to luncheon at the governor's palace. General Grenfel (the governor) be- ing a widower the affair was of the stag variety, but was enjoyable nevertheless. The governor and his staff and a dozen or so of other officers—both army and navy— were very pleasant companions and every- body enjoyed the function. On Tuesday morning the regiment was landed on the quay, where the band of the 3d Rattalion Royal Warwickshire Rifle Regiment met and escorted it through the Calacara Gate into the city and out to the Floriana pa- rade, where General Grenfel inspected and reviewed us. He complimented the regi- ment highly and seemed astonished that our men were so big. As a matter of fact they do seem to :how up taller than the English, and many English officers re- marked that they were “as large as the Guards.” Our men all seemed to be on their mettle and did their prettiest, and. while their best is atl right, they would have done still better if they could have carried their arms. But that, of course, was out of the question. They wore the khaki for the first time that day, the un!- forms having been issued on the passage from Gibraltar to Malta, and looked well. The commanding officer and staff were mounted on Arab stallions procured through the kindness of General Grenfel’s chief of staff—Colonel Spence—at the race track and polo grounds belonging to the mess. Talk about horses! It was only a latent feeling thet something was due in appreciation of the kindness the Britishers had shown us that prevented the surrepti- tious removal of at least one animal. The Admiral Courtesy. “The fleet needed practice, as Admiral Fisher put it, although what with torpedo work, boat drills, large and small gun prac- tice and a few other things going on all the time they seemed to have about as much as was necessary for the proper consump- tion of H. B. M.’s rations. Anyhow, the -admiral. asked permission to send off his boats and take us ashore. We have only two steam launches of capacity of about forty men each, and about ten other boats that on such an occasion ought not to car- ry more than fifty men each. So the propo- sition was accepted. We had 1,290 men and forty-seven officers to get ashore, and they landed the last man in twenty minutes. We had four large side ports opened—two on each side the ship—one forward and one on the quarter—with gangways leading to the water, and at 9 o’clock (the time set), the boats being on ‘hand, the men were marched out of their quarters directly into the boats, which as soon as loaded pulled out for shore a mile away. All four gang- ‘ways were running at the same time, and there was never a hitch nor a moment's lost time, and everybody was on shore and in line at 9:20. The boats they used were working beats, sharp at both ends, no decks and no seats, except at intervals of about six feet a stay of wood passing from side to side. They were about forty feet long and ten feet wide and could hold easily 100 men each. A steam launch was lashed alongside each of these boats, and the lat- ter was therefore entirely given up to the men. It’s a great scheme and we should adopt it, but we never will. About a hun- dred years from now we will be trotting around with the same old scheme of land- ing firing parties, regiments and corps in ships’ boats, and even cascoes and canoes, as at present. Lively Times Ashore. “The return to the ship was equally well carried out, but I did not get the time. We took the outfit ashore and brought it back, every man who was not on guard or in the mill, and never lost a man. A pretty good record, all things and other people's experi- ences being considered! But what some of them did that night n they went ashore on pass was a-plenty. Valetta never saw so much red paint before, even when the gentle, slave-stealing knights of Malta ran things as they pleased. No mischief was done and no trouble other than that incident to a soldier's pay day occurred, but several ‘dear boys in blue’ will sweat and swear for your Uncle Samuel through several suc- cessive pay days without getting a touch of the ‘long green.’ All because a few of them thought a good suitable s their size Would be to tip the One of them came off In the fullest Tommy Atkins and made a mark self.

Nunez Tells of the Great Need of Cuba. Gen. Emilio Nunez, civil governor of the province of Havana, is In Philadelphia on a month's leave of absence. Gen. Nunez’s home for eighteen years before he was made governor of Havana was in Philedel- phia, In speaking of Cuba and its people he said: ‘The condition of the country financially, industrially, politically and in every way is showing marked improvement. The to- bacco crop this year will be as big as ever r 0,000 » Valued at 24,000,000. On account of the extreme dry season, the sugar crop will be small, but the planters hope to do better next year. “The great trouble in every branch of industry and trade in Cuba is th carcity working capital. Planters w tates were damaged during the war have not the means to repair these losses, and this ts true in every line of business. There are excellent opportunities for American capi- talists. Havana has already a shoe nda brewery operated by Americans, y branch of manufacture awaits lopment. Tobacco and sugar p tions also require ready cash to be worked to advantag When asked ff Americans were embracing the: s, Gen. Nunez replied: “s The trouble is it seems to be among Americans that condi- tions in Cuba are unsettled and will ri muin so until the form of government be- comes decided upon. Such is not the case.” Referring to the visit of Secretary of War Root to Cuba, the general said it had an excellent effect in helping to restore a feeling of confidence in the United States and her promises, which the people there believe will be kept in every respect.
