JOHANN ORTH SEEN AGAIN.
Captain Lecointe, who was in command of the Antarctic expedition ship Belgica, declared in an interview with a representative of the Brussels newspaper '' Derniere Heure " that he is certain that he met Johann Orth, the Archduke Johann Salvator. on his return from the polar seas. The captain says that, having left the Belgica. at Santa Cruz, he arrived on the shores of Lake Leone, in the contested area between Chili and Argentina. There, 250 or. 300 miles from any human habitation, he came on a recluse speaking French. English. Russian and German, who was living in a tent. This person, who seemed to be of noble origin, was living alone with his do::;-, and horses; Captain Lecointe staved a week with him, and took his photograph, which, however, he has since lost. The publication by the '' Derniere Heure" of Johann Orth's portrait had filled him with the conviction that it was the same person who offered him hospitality.
