DA CANA SAVES HIS HEAD

PEIXOTO'S DEMAND IGNORED
II the Admiral Had Been Surrendered He
Would Have Had Short shrift Speculation
Regarding His Depsrture-very Likely

RIO JANEIRo, March 1S.-Judging from the
course of events here it is thought by Impair
tial observers that the Portuguese government
does not intend to honor the request made
upon it for the surrender of Admiral De CANA,
who was lately in command of the insurgent
fleet before this city.
Admiral pa Cana took refuge on the Por-
tuguese corvette Mndello when the insurrec-
ton collapsed President Peixeto demanded
that the admiral and the officers who were
with him be delivered into his hands. The
Portuguese minister declined 10 order the COM
mander of the Mindello to surrender the fugi-
tiyes. and President Peixoto appealed, it is
said, to the Portuguese government to instruct
its minister to order the surrender OF the in
surgent officers. Whether reply has been
received to this request or not cannot be DELI
nitely stated, but this afternoon the Mindello
and the Albuquerque, another Portuguese war
ship, having on board Admiral Da CANA and
seventy of his officers, put tc sea. There was
not the slightest opposition made to their de-
parture. and, as matter of fact, trouble aris-
ing from this source was never probable.
The destination of the warships is not
known. 1t is conjectured that they will go
south 10 Montevideo and land the insurgent
officers there. If they are landed at Monte
video they can easily. If they are so disposed,
Join the insurgents in the states of Sac Paulo
and Rio Grande do SUI. who are still in armed
opposition to the government. Anything said
regarding their movements is, however,
merely speculative.
The fact that Admiral Da Cana and his
officers have succeeded in getting out of the
bay is a matter OF great rejoicing among their
friends in this city. There is no doubt in the
minds of anybody that had the admiral been
surrendered to the government his trial
by drum-head court-martial would
have quickly followed. There could have
been only one result OF trial of this kind
a sentence of death.
Yellow fever continues epidemic. The
deaths from the disease average seventy

The United States cruiser San Francisco,

q commander in the Guard, and would still be
if buller had not shattered this hand at
Wagram.'
And the abbe raised his right hand. which
lacked the middle fingers. He continued:
'Not being able longer to serve the coun-
try with my sword I have thought might
in profound Christian sentiments, and have
become priest, and my ministry commands
me to be to-day, between you and the country
to which you come as an enemy, an interme-
diary OF peace and conciliation. Enter, Mon
sieur. You are in the home of man with
out defense. My poor Jean is an old man,
and my niece-come here, Lys,-is almost a
child. Before God, who pardons and who
Furnishes, put nv home under the protec-
ton Of your honor as soldier Welcome,
Monsieur"
In the evening, or near 10 o'clock. and
after Madamoiselle Lys had retired to her
chamber, Jean Bigorne came to tell the abbe
that messenger, dripping with rain and
covered with mud, had come from far
through the forest to solicit his attendance
without delay upon an old woman then at
the point of death.

Jean Bigorne looked at him narrowly.
But, Monsieur" he finally said, ''you can
not think Of going at such an hour. The
roads are horrible; it rains like benediction,
and it Is so black that the devil would march
under his queue, my commander"
"Give me my hat" was the reply of the
abbe.
'.But it Is not Gods WILL" insisted Jean.
''You will meet the brigands at all corners of
the woods. not counting that evil officer you
leave here. Surely it is not best, Monsieur
Abbe; 1t is not prudent"

try and the wings Of the church, drowned in
shadow where the lantern of the sacristan
scintillated like little golden star.
The able passed behind the great altar,
made a sign before the cross, and pushed the
creaking bolts of low door, which opened

and chilly night ;lir. In passing the threshold
the stranger struck stone, which made him
slip.

are in the Camp Of Repose, and that slab
upon which you walk is tomb
They passed beneath the great yew trees
and willows, where the grass reached nearly
to their knees, and paused behind a wing Of
the church.
"We shall be we'll here, JEAN" said the
able. "Hang the lantern to an arm of that
cross"
The sacristan obeyed, and the shifting glim-
mer Of the wind-swung light revealed the
gloomy silhouette Of the priest and the pale
face Of the officer against the great shadow
dancing on the walls Of the apse.
The able made with his MANNED right hand
the sign OF the cross, and grasped in his left
the hilt of his heavy sword. Then he said:
"Ready, Monsieur"
The Cossack wiped his forehead. drenched
in sweat, and slowly drew his sword.
The two great blades touched, and then

along the wall OF the church he heard call:

quickly asked.

reply. "He returned and thrust me out when
I went to fasten the door. He is in liquor,

And at that moment a window was thrown
open. and Mademoiselle Lys, pale. disordered,
her shoulders bare, leaned out; but hand
was swiftly placed upon her mouth before she
could cry out. and the young girl was pushed
back, and then the dull sound of scufie was
heard by those in the street.
The abbe threw himself like a madman
against the door, which Jean also shook with
terrible push, until at last the fastenings
gave way, and the two men flew up stairs,

fallen senseless and disordered, while the

scorched preparation OF eggs.
Poached Eggs u la Creme-A delicate dish
for Easter morning is eggs on toast To
poach an egg is almost as much credit TO tie
cook as for the chef to prepare salad. For
each member OF the family toast two slices of
hread-w;th the crusts left on-an even
brown. To do this nicely wire toaster
should be held over the Goals and carefully
tended every minute of the process. Place
these double slices OF bread evenly on a meat

while the eggs are being prepared. All eggs
for poaching should be broken separately
into saucer and carefully slid into the sauce

water should be perfectly free from all i'm

eggs go in. In putting in the eggs be careful
not to break the yolks or to put them upon

egg between the piles all round the dish. In
the meantime, have ready three tablespoons
full OF fresh cream or milk and one teaspoon
full of butter. with littlo salt and pepper, on
the back of the range hot, ready to pour over
the eggs and toast. Serve Immediately.
Boiled Eggs-On Easter morning give the
children a generous supply Of hard-boiled
eggs. They will enjoy them SO much. Anice
way to do is to have them colored and con-
cealed in fancy dish or in an egg basket
under hen cover. Diamond dyes are nice to
color them, and they come in every shade.
There should also be q generous supply Of
boiled eggs on Easter morning not colored
for 1.-The man Of the house." Consult his
well-known tastes as to "hard or SOFT" but
do not mind II he eats three or four for his
Easter breakfast. Some men seem to think 1t
a kind OF religious duty to eat as many eggs
as they can on Easter morning.
