LOVES ALLIANCE.

White flags OF parley the pale snowdrops raisa
And every herald note of spring is fain
To sound a tender truce to thy disdain.
Oh, then. no moro in loneliness of days
Delay the due alliance that love praysi
But let us, yielding to his golden gives,
One sweet surrender make Of our two lives.
Well seal our treaty by the bossoming May
And in the woodland bind bright coronals
OF summer, and beside the quiet hearth
Foster the cheerful glow when autumn falls.
Then may the old leaves tremblo down to
earth.
Content upon her kindly breast to lie
Upon her breast who gave them life, to die.

The spanish Troops Retreat Before the
Insurgent Logs.

Havana, April 16.-Further details of
the fighting between the Alfonso XIII.
battalion and the insurgents under
Maceo, at San Claudio, shows that the
Spanish gunboat Alerta, which so OPP
portunely went TO the assistance of the
troops, found the latter had been COM
PEELED to retreat before an overwhelm-
ing force of insurgents. Although the
latter outnumbered the men of the Al
fonso XIII. battalion, in spite of the
fact that the soldiers were led in pur-
suing the retreating vanguard of the
enemy into the position which almost
enabled the insurgents to surround them
from neighboring heights, the Spanish
retreated in good order, fighting stub
bornly as they did so. During the re-
treat the government troops inflicted
heavy loss upon Maceos forces and
succeeded in maintaining a correct
formation until after a seven hours
fight, the harbor of San Claudio was
reached and the troops barricaded
themselves in the best positions posi-
BILE and determined to fight to the last
During this long and harrassing re-
treat the Alfonso XIII. battalion only
lost one officer and four men killed and
Is men wounded. The fire of the troops
was well directed and the movement of
the battalion so efficient that the 5000
Cubans were unable to achieve any adj
vantage further than compelling the
greatly overmatched body of Spanish
infantry to retreat in good order.

few days. Several changes were
suggested in the details of the mea-
sure, however. and these will be sub

prevail before the bill is taken up.
Under this bill continuance or reduc-
tons of pensions would be unlawful

takes in facts or recovery from disa-

pretations of the act of 1890. which

by these reversals would be restored
on application. The securing of pen
sions would be considerably facilitated.
One of the changes which Speaker
Reed and his colleagues desire is to
drop the section of the Picker bill
which establishes a presumption that
disabilities were incurred through vi
cious habits. Picker estimates that
with the bill in operation the pension
budget would be increased from 81. 000.-

of the biggest hits in the history of
the stage. "A Texas Steer Is written
in Hoyt's happiest vein. and since IL
first burst forth on the public IL has
been the unanimous opinion that II is
by far the cleverest thing this witty
American author has ever compiled.
The story deals with the experiences
of Maverick Brander. owner OF a big
cattle ranch in Texas. who is forced
into congress at the point of several
unpleasant looking revolvers just be-
sentative and consider him the most
valuable bit OF political timber lying

Important Points About ''Purifne," the
Great DiSinfeCtant

In these enlightened days of the nine
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that ian ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" and tn 1t ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use Of the great disin-
fectant known as "Purifine." The public
has had many disnfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply indif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of "Purifine.' In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, u
most important matter as users { disin.
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sickrning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much so as the odor or
smell to be killed.
| In a word, "purlfine" is odorless, and
its work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
| concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is poisonous, an all.
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results. and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
As sample of it's harmlessness it can
! even be used in in refrigerators, and, if
} accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifne" is used are
3 almost limitless, and to enumerate then
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks
e drains, barns, urinals, water closets
r floor cloths and the bed clothes from
, sickness or infection it is invaluable.
= Then again the price is 80 low that /
U can be used lavishly, and for hospitals
f asylums, public buildings. hotels, restau
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries
markets, stables, packing houses an
}, canneries where a disinfectant is used il
large quantities, this is a point to b
considered. One gallon is used to a bar
e rel of water, and for general use on
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine" is sure prevt ntive agains

NEEDS MORE MONEY.

Even larger sum than is nam

readily for maintenance of the In
sane Asylum, one Of the really
model institutions in Hawaii. A

and the pay roll must be increased.
A year ago there were about sixty
inmates. At present there are sew
eral more than a hundred. Wards
are required to contain double the
designed capacity, and during the
last few months of the period Super
intendent Herbert and Assistant
Cutter have been compelled to
rigidly "scrimp" in their manage

mittedly excellent. The sick Of
