WEDNESDAY EVENING, U-BOAT, DISGUISED AS SAILING SHIP, CHASES STEAMER Submersible Carries Canvas Superstructure to Hide Identity By Associated Prtss New York, April 18.—A German submarine disguised as a sailing ship carrying three masts, was sighted by the British steamship Southerndown on April 4 when about 300 miles west of Lisbon and for two hours the Brit ish freighter was chased, escaping capture or destruction through her su perior speed, according to officers of the Southerndown on arrival of the vessel to-day at an American port. The submarine, the officers said, was recognized as an enemy craft when she approached within about one mile. What appeared to be a false superstructure of canvas sur mounted by the masts was on her j decks, and it was while a portion of this canvas was being cleared away to enable a deck gun to get into action that her true Identity was disclosed. The glistening hull of the rounded deck being plainly seen through glasses. Full speed was crowded on the engines of the freighter and for more than an hour the race was about even; then the steamer slowly drew away. For some reason unknown to officers of the ship the submarine did not fire on her. Yesterday when near the American coast, the officers of the United States cruiser Birmingham came up and on signal the Southerndown was stopped. An officer and an armed guard came on board from the American warship and established the identity of the Southerndown before she was allowed to proceed. GEN. WEYLER LAST OF WAR FIGURES Virtually All of Other Leaders in Cuban Campaign Are Dead Madrid, April 15. General Wey ler, captain general of Cuba most critical period of its transition, is one of the few remaining figures of the Spanish-American War. Prac tically all the others are gone—Ad miral Cervera, who was first bottled up in Santiago harbor and then made the dash against the fleets of Sampson and Schley; General Linares who fought the land fight at Santiago against Shat ter, Leonard Wood, Roosevelt and the others; and General Blanco who was In command at Havana until the eva cuation. General Weyler, as one of the cap tain generals of Spain, continues to bo among the notable personalities of public life. His high military rank gives him a permanent place in the Senate, and his short stocky figure Is seen often about the streets during the sessions. It is his old rank, how ever, and not his present part in pub lic affairs, that gives him his promi nence, for a new generation has come on since his time, and the memories of the war are almost entirely forgotten. The Captain Generals are received in royal audience each year, and this brought about a remarkable incident in the case of General Weyler when he made his last call of ceremony. These calls are attended with great formal ity, the King in full uniform and the captain generals also In brilliant uni form with a staff of attendants. Gen eral Weyler's audience had concluded and he was about to withdraw. As he posser through the outer court, one of the sentinels of the royal guard stood rigid at the gate. The sentinel looked straight ahead, motionless as the cap tain general passed, paying no atten tion to his exalted military rank. Not ing this. General Weyler turned sharp ly on the soldier, and commanded: "Present arms." The sentry obeyed the command and came to a present, while the cap tain general, feeling that the dignity of his command had been suitably re spected, passed on. But this did not end the- incident. The sentry, being one of the royal guard, promptly reported the occur rence to the captain of the Royal Guards, making the point that while the King and royal family were in the palace the salute of the royal guard was reserved exclusively for members of the royal family, and that any sa luting of persons outside the royal cir cle was derogation of the dignity due them. The captain of the guard sustained the sentry, but as a captain general was at issue the case was referred to the minister of war. This head of the military establishment duly consid ered the case, heard the view of the captain general and of the plain sol dier, and Anally gave his decision up holding the soldier. It is one of the few cases on record between the high est and the lowest rank in the army, in which a soldier's view has been up held against a captain general. WHAT HAS BECOME OF JOHN W. SMITH? [Continued From First Page] ing that he was going to New York for a few days. Despite the fact that he was going for only a few days, according to the statement of the people at the boarding house, he too three grips and everything of value in the room. Since then Mrs. Carrie E. Wagner, proprietor of the boardinghouse has not heard from him. He rented four rooms from Mrs. Wagner and paid the rent only until April 1. Smith claimed to be the sole pro- ( prietor of the Standard Remedy Com- j pany. Without the consent of Mrs. , Wagner her house at 1600 North ' Sixth street, was advertised as being [ the headquarters of the firm and used on all stationery. The letter head also bears a reputed capital of SIOO,OOO, but just where the firm is chartered ■could not be learned. Two offices were also conducted in ; the Commonwealth Trust Company j building 1 but these were vacated April i 7, at the expiration of the advanced | rent. On office is still maintained at \ 448 Hamilton street, where the firm j business is conducted by two office I girls. The force of six employes at! I the Commonwealth building were dis-i i missed. Bound For I-abrador | The girls at the office at 448 Ham- j ! ilton street frankly admitted they did not know where Smith was. They claim they have heard from him but \ I once and at that time he said he was ! leaving for Boston and then for Lab- j I rador. Since that time they have re- j ! ceived no word as to the affairs of the Standard Remedy Company. Smith came to town about two yeafrs ago. Prom that time unitl he opened the new business in February he lectured in small towns. On one of these trips he met Miss Mabel Noel, of New Germantown. According to report, he became engaged to her sev eral months ago. They were to have been married June 8. All plans were! made for their wedding according to statements of people at the boarding house. They had not only selected the house where they would live, but an automobile as well. All plans were j made for the wedding trip and the' j cities that would be visited. Miss Noel! has not heard from him for three weeks. Had Purchased Home Prior to his going he purchased one of the finest houses in Camp Hill. One hundred dollars was made as the first | payment. The family, of course, I moved from the house to be in readi ness for Smith to take possession. J. W. Mathias was engaged to repaper and repaint the house, although the interior could not be in better condi tion. Neither of the men have heard from Smith. "Ready Made" Medicine Two sorts of medicine were sold by Smith. The one was known as Pain Relief and bore the following ad vice on the envelope: "Take one tab let, repeat in half an hour if not re lieved. If three tablets do not ease your pain send for your physician as your condition requires medical atten tion." The other remedy was known as Liver Relief. They were bought "ready made" from a Baltimore firm and packed at the offices. The girls at 448 Hamilton say, every week they feel sure they will hear from him but! no word comes.

HARRISBURO TEU3OI APH ARCHITECT OF NEW PENN-HARRIS HERE [Continued From First Page] great detail inasmuch as it is the de- j sire of those interested in this big un- ! dertaking to give Harrisburg the very best hotel with regard to appointment, comfort and attractiveness that is pos sible. There have been unfounded ru mors f a discontinuance of the enter prise, owing to the high cost of ma terials and construction at this time, but President Wallower and those as sociated with him are not quitters nor are they the sort of livewires who abandon a course of action once deter mined upon. Construetlon to Start Mny 1 Mr. Wallower left for the West last night but will return in time for the opening of the bids and the awarding of the contract, it i s " confidently ex pected that the actual costruction work will be started early in May, in asmuch as the plans are so complete in every respect that little time is likely to be lost in further revision. The Bethlehem Steel Company has had the specifications for the steel for several days and no delay is expected. While the cost of the hotel will be considerably greater than was first an ticipated, owing to the changing con ditions, It is still the full Intention of the hotel officials and directors to go right ahead, especially in vie wof the very serious situation with respect to hotel facilities which now confronts the city. It may not be generally known that night after night men walk the streets of Harrisburg with hand bags and suitcases seeking a place to sleep. This is most lamentable from every standpoint, and particularly so during the session of the legislature, when so many come here for important hearings and to transact business with the several departments. To Speed U| Work The passing of the Commonwealth Hotel without notice has been most deplorable and there are still those who stop in amazement in front of the old hostelry and wonder what has hap pened.

Strong Black Cigars Too Much For "Mister Johnson" Berne, April 18. A young Amer- | ican who said he was a student in Munich and that he was caught by the war without sufficient funds, ap peared at one of the American con sulates in Switzerland soon after the beginning of the war and asked for any kind of work that would enable him to save money to get home. He was hired and proved capable, energetic and honest. He was known as "Johnson." The consul, a genial, generous man, was in the habit of handing out to his clerks and assist ants as many strong cigars as they would take each day. "Johnson," though he made a wry face, always accepted—and smoked—the cigars. Eventually, however, he admitted to a friend in the consulate that he had accepted them because he believed he would gain favor with the chief in that way, but that they made hiih ill. He was sent to a hospital, and there the Inevitable revelation came. "Johnson" in reality was a New York woman who, while in Munich, had donned men's clothes to cross the German frontier. She returned to the consulate but once after having re covered from the chief's strong cigars and then only to resign. Somehow, without a passport she got into Italy and obtained passage to America on a steamer sailing from Genoa. CAN HEAR MONEY DROP Rome, April 18.
