"Adolf Ladenburg, the hesd of the well-known

mysteriously dlsaprx ired from the \YarJ Line

from Nassau to this city. The Nlagars arrived

here parly yesterday morning, and tboM who

Rivet to artet Mr. Ladenburg, there learned the

disti- «sing news He had disappeared some time

between II o'clock Wednesday night and 6

o'clock the nfxt morning.The Niagara. In command of Captain Crocker,

called from Nassau at 6 p. m. on Tuesday, it

was Just at the end of a heavy northwest galo,

which later veered nnuml and blew from the

Fouthwest with almost hirricane-llke force, mak¬

ing all but the best pallori »meng the ¡ assengen

feel sseesdlngly qualmish. Mr. Ladenburg ap¬

peared at dinner that evening and at once re¬

tired to his cabin, c »mplalnlng of feeling ses·

pick.The n»xt day. Wednesday, h^ did not appear

at breakfast, nor did ho como on d· ck during the

flay. He wa¿·, of ? rame, attended by the stew¬

ards. At I p. m. Robert Evans, one of the

stewards, went to Mr. Ladeiburg'i cabin, whichwas No. 11 on the stari-a.-; side, to see how

he was getting along, and If anything couldbe done for him. Mr. Ladenburg sail h·· waa

elck and wanted to be 1-t alone, requesting that

Evans open the ? irtbole in ordì r that freshair might ho admitted, ani send some one ab ut

11 o'clock to Close it. Evans did as he was toll

gad left the cabin.

THE LAST BEEN OF HIM.

At 11 O'clock Evam again visited the cabin

and closed the north »Is. Mr. Ladenburg was

then lying In bte berth, apparently asleep, and

was clad in his pajamas. Evens made no at¬

tempt to disturb him and quietly bit the cabin.

At 6 o'clock the following morrlng the boyagain went t> Mr. Ladenburg'· stateroom and

found the banker missing. His clothing was

hanging on the hooks, and the lower porn»,! ol

his pajamas Is which he had be-? clad when

last seen, was lying carelessly th >W0 uponthe berth. The · nly garment that Mr. Ladenburgevidently w re when he left the cabin was the

blouse of his pajamas.Evars made a sh rt search, and then, becom¬

ing alara» d, reported tho matter to th·.- chiefSteward, Reling, who In turn reported it to the

purser, T. H. Pemberton. Tho puiser ordered an

Immediate search f r tho missing passenger to

be made, and every nook and cranny of the

6team«hip was explored by the officers and men

of the ship, but no traces .if the passenger wre

d!sc*ver?ri The news, when it reached the pas¬

sengers, caut"d a sensation among th»m, but

the on!y theory advanced by either offlc tl Of

passenger« vr« stat Mr. Ladenburg had been

accident! y carried overt ard. it Is sum Ised that

he reoovered somewhat from tho effects of his

Illness, and went ? d< k t get a breath of

fresh air. Tl·.·· night was pitchy dark, ani

neither the officer on duty ? r any of the

»allora eaw him. The phlp was pitching and

rolling frightfully in the southwest gale, ani it

Is thought that the missing b : k< r 1 -t his f ot-

hold and was washed ox thrown ov« rb >ard.

Ricci Mr. Howes, who is s ? ember of an im¬

posing fruit firm it. Philadelphia, became ac¬

quaint· d with Mr. Ladenburg at Nasi ?.

When it was discovered that Mr. Ladenburgliad undoubtedly been lost ov< rboard, the purser

asked W. B. Russell, one of the passengers, to

fro 1?·? his staterò :m and mak·· an Inventoryof his effects. The room was then locked and6· aled. Besides a handsome watch and chain

end i>:her jewelry, tl28 In cash was found In hisclothing.

In speaking of the disappearance yesterday,Mr. Pemberton, the purser, said: "Mr. Laden-bur:.' was uadoubt diy accidentally lost over¬

board wt.il·· he was trying to t>rct on deckfor a breath Of fresh air. He drank noth¬

ing «m the voyage, ami received no medi¬cal attention except the usual simple reme¬

dies given for seasickness. When be came on

board at Nassau he appeared to be enjoying ex¬

cellent health, and was In the best of splriis.He told me he had been making a trip to Flor¬ida for rest and re nation, partly on nee,mit ofhis h.alth, and had crossed over to Nassau s>

as to make the trip home by sea. He explainedthat this wa.-> practically his first sea voyage,end he was taking it for the purpose <>f get¬ting- neeuatomed to the s·.·. Th· w.;ith.-r was

Unusually rough, and he succumbed at once toSeasickness after dinner on Tuesday. Beaslck-gasa, of course, is nothing out of the ordinaryon shipboard, and nothing was thought of Mr.Ladenburg giving way to It In su. h heavyweather. The unhappy affair naturally threw a

damper over the other passengers. The steam¬

ship encountered hl.h seas and heavy galeathroughout the voyage.·'

Plymouth, Feb. 2i.The British steamer Hatbe). Castle, from Port Natal January 28, ar¬

rived here at 8:0B o'clock this morning, havingon board 805 troopers, who took part In Dr.

Jameson's raid Into the Transvaal and who were

compelled to sum nder to the Boers. Tl. ?

were turned over to the English authorities bythe Boer Government, and th» former orderedthat they be br »ugni to England. The officers f

the expedition, Including Dr. Jameson, are on the

transport Victoria, which is expected to arrivesome time during the night. Among the men

on the Uarb'ch Castle there were six 111.Shortly before 11:30 o'clock a tender went

alongside th« Harlech Castle. The ?

were all mustered on the deck of the steamer

and their transfer to the tender was quicklyaccomplished. It was thought that much en¬

thusiasm would fl« displayed on their arrival

here, as there is scarcely a doubt that theirraid. Illegal though it was, caused much popu¬lar admiration In England. The fact did noi

present to witness their disembarkation from

the tender, and th·;··· was no rheeiA majority of the troopers were attired In the

police uniform of the British Bouth Africa Com

able to this climat** wore sui piled them, and

they then looked far more comfortable than

they did in the early morning. They are a

swart, hardy-looking lot of men. Their ages

ranged from twenty ti> thirty-live. Many of

them belong to some of the best families in Eng-land, having ? >:?· to South Africa where theycould do work which, had they don·· it here,would have caused them to have been lookeddown upon by their acquaintance·,The representative of the United Pre*« t*»1k*d

ENTHU8IA8M IN LONDON.London. Feb. 23. A majority of th·- troopers

arrived at the Paddlngton station this eveningfrom Plymouth. A moderate-slsed crowd was Inthe Btreet. lut none of its members, even though

they were relatives of the men, were allowed t

enter the station. Most of the crowd believed

that Dr. Jameson and his party had arrived,and thev refused to no dlsabus d.When the cabs and carriages conveying the

men Issued from the station th" crowd cheeredthem lustily. The troopers enjoyed their receptlon, and waved their hats in response to thecheers. Ah they proceeded eastward their uni¬forms attracted attention, and large crowds fol¬lowed the vehicles, cheering and roaring for Dr.

Jameson.Thei·,· was a big demonstration In Piccadilly

Circus, where the crowd was so dense thai thecarriages proceeded with difficulty, There was

a are*! '·?·:tr.?st between the reception accordedthe men In London and Plymouth. The en¬

thusiasm displayed here showed that Dr. Jame¬son is a popular hero In London.The statement made som.· days agn that, after

Mr. Chamberlain's Interview with Cecil Rhodes,the Government had decided thai it was Impor¬tant to prevent Dr. .Iain-son from communi itlngwith anybody before he was delivered to justice,and had therefore dispatched Inspector ProestWith a warrant to arrest him en route, proves tohave ?.? erroneous In respect to the dispatchof Inspector Proest. Instead of going to arrestDr Jameson, the Inspector went to Madeira,where he joined the Harlech Castle and accom¬

panied h· r to England, it is learned that he attempted to pump the troopers on the subject ofthe raid, but he met with little success, tie didnot nrp-st anybodySome of th·· troopers here deny the story that

they wet v\.-ho,it food and water on their marchto Krilgersdorp, and thus contradiction is givento the statement that they were exhaustedthrough lark of thes.· essentials, and thai thiswas one of the reasons that led la their sur¬

render.The morning papéis will publish to-morrow

column after column of stories told by the menwho cam- to England on the Harlech Castle,

BALUNOTON BOOTH.

Shortly nfter !» o'clock last night CommanderRv>th relieved the tension In th-^ minila ofColonel Eadle nnd Colonel Nicol because of his

seelusi p sire· his retirement Th- absence ofthe Commander during this time has caused thegreatest worn· to Colonels Nicol and Badie, In¬

ch ns Ralllngton Booth had not as yet Hlg-nlfled hin willingness to transfer the propertyat I money of the organisation over to his eue-

What the Command r's action In this

respect will be Is stili a matter of doubt, therebeing a large number of has adherents who

thai he will not calmly submit to beousted from the leadership of the Army here,nnd as everything is vested in his name. It Isapparent that were he t m tede from the parent! idy, as it is said h.· will, th- position of thenew m ivement would be s strong one from theollt.s.'t.

APPEARS \T HEADQUARTERS,Last night it the time mentioned c mmander

Booth um spectedlv, es ept by a few of his Un¬ti.ella·- friends, appeared at headquarters, Itwas evident that his visit was intended as ? sur¬

pris,·. He arrived at the fr >nt of the buin Fourteenth-si on a west u I \r. and withMajor fili ? end Staff Captain Crafts, who were

In waiting on the sidewalk, he s-irt.·! at a run

f>r th·· building, and getting Into an elevator».nt to the chief office of the Central Division.The C mmander was not in full uniform, but

wore a derby hai and s long ulster, turned upal the c liar, as if to tvold Identification. Hisfa.·.- «ras extremely pale, .and bui a determinedappearan ··· that betokened some d< finite purpose.... k as he was in rushing from the car to thebuilding, the crowd that is usually gathered out¬

side ,,n ? Sunday night recognised him, and

greete 1 him with a volley of cheers. The plauditswere heard in the large hall where the ordinarySunday evening servi e was being held, and

animated by feelings ..t curiosity the majorityof the people left the service, and when it was

¡..anted that the Commander was in the placethey showed In many ways that the popular feel¬

ing is un loubtedly on the side of the Commander.After being closeted with sev.-ral sympathising

officers for about a quarter of an huir, the Com¬

mander proceeded, with a bundle of papersIn his hand, to his own private Offices, a

floor above. Here he wan Joined by about

twenty-five male and female officers, and theconference lasted until about 10:30 o'clock.Among those who were [.resent wer.· Major Ad¬

dle, from Springfield, 111.; Major BtlUwetl andBrigadier Fielding, fr un Chicago; BrigadierWilliam Evans, from Pennsylvania, and severalrepr sentatlvee from other States. At the endof the meeting Commander Booth and his friends

refused emphatically to say anything regardingthe proceedings or the decisions arrived at, butIt was plain from the hand-clapping that c lUldbe heard frun without that the meeting was ofan entirely unanimous character.

Subsequently Commander Booth issued thestatement printed nt the beginning of this arti¬cle.

In the face of this statement there can no

1 inger be sny doubt thai the resignation ofMr. and Mrs. Booth, In the first Instance, was

forced from them, and the suggestion that a

conspiracy to ibis end had existed for some timepast between th.- International HeadquartersIn London and certain English officers appointedto this country was probably a correct one. A

staff captain said yesterday to a Tribune re¬

porter that Colonel Kadle, whose procedure andnotions in opposition to his commander have

b.en alr.-ady stated In this column, came herefor the express purpose of Impeaching his su¬

perior, and that Colonel Sadie's wife was known

to have confessed this to a fHand shortly be¬

fore she died last summer. But the most slg-ntfloant paragraph In the statement Is that

wherein BalHngtOB Booth gives It as his and his

wil.-'s Mrm Intention never again to put them¬

selves under the authority or government of

International Headquarters in London.
