capsizing of q small row boat. The
victims are:
Amelia Holman.

None of the bodies have been re-

They had not gone far before a heavy
wind storm came up and the boat was
upset. The women sank almost i'm

berticri said no one had occupied the
room for months, and that the house
was entirely empty.
The cries of the crowd soon attracted
the attention of Policeman Bunnison,
of the West Twenty-seventh street sta
ton. At first be was inclined to laugh,
but he too saw the figure, and after gaz-
ing at it few minutes he whistled for
assistance, and Policeman Conkling ap-
peared. He says he saw the ghost, too.

Roundsman Tubbs appeared at the
corner. He gazed intently at the win
dow, which was just then beginning to
lose its figure. DULY for a moment,
however, for it flared out again in great
brilliancy.
Man or devil" said the roundsman,
well see what's the matter, anyhow"
With that he seized the key of the
house from Albertieri, and, accom-
panied by the policeman, marched into
the house. The mob outside could see
the light ascending the stairs. When
they reached the top floor they found
that the door was locked.
Policeman Gunnison, however, braced
his huge shoulders and set it off it's
hinges. The three men rushed in with
their lamp.
The room was absolutely bare. Itdid
not contain an article, and there was no
sign of the figure in the window. The
room was q cherries apartment, the
walls and ceilings being painted the
color Of mahogany.
The crowd on the street had q moment
of terror while the policemen were In
the room. They heard the crashing Of
the door, and then, when the light up
peared, the figure vanished from their
view. Another yell went up, and it was
supposed that the ghost had left its
place at the window to deal summarily
with the policemen. When the police
men came out they were warmly greet
ed, and the figure once more took its
place at the window and overlooked the
Italians.

York Herald, is something of a scientist,

A Policeman Tries to Give a Scientific
Explanation of the Phenomenon,
But the Crowd Takes No
Stock In His Theory.

West Thirty-ninth street, in New
York city, will not recover from it for
months. 1t saw ghost-a ghost peep
ing out of the upper window of house
at Seventh avenue. Two hundred per-
sons saw the face. They said it looked
like the face of Virgin Mary, surround
ed by the aureolite.
Policemen burst open the door of the
room where the ghost was supposed to
be. No trace of it could be found. When
the policemen returned to the street,
however, the face still appeared at the
window.
There have been queer rumors about
the house at No. 200 West Thirty-ninth
street, occupied by Alberta Albertieri,
his wife and child. They are Italians,
and have been in this country only few
months. The house is big brown
stone structure. four stories high, and
their rooms are all on the first floor.
Mrs. Albert;eri has been i'll for some
time, and last Sunday after dinner her
husband took her for walk. When
they returned Albertieri looked at the
top floor of the house. He started back.
There, plain as day, he says, in the sec
ond story from Seventh avenue, ap-
peared face and part of figure. A
halo waved to and fro about the head,
and the figure seemed to sway back
ward and forward. Albertieri called his
wife's attention, and they stood for a
moment spellbound.
Services in the church across the
street had just been dismissed, and
many of the congregation, attracted by
the remarks of the Italians, gazed fix
eddy at the window. All could see the
figure plainly, but to some it took one
form and to others another. a crowd
quickly gathered.

dropping on his knees on the sidewalk.

Cuban Revolution Beyond Fer

Interview with Gen. johnson, just Re-
turned from the Island-DecIares That
the Best Blood in Cuba Is Join
ing the Insurgents.

Gen. Bradley T. johnson, who has
been investigating affairs in Cuba, re-
turned to New York the other day on
the Ward line steamship Vigilancia
from Havana. Gen. johnson said:
'My leaving Havana was entirely vol
untary. received no notice that my

Scuba is lost to SPAIN" he said, re-
garding the struggle in the West Indian
island. THAT Spain can never again
subdue Cuba may be regarded as con-
elusive" he continued. There is no
possibility of the Spaniards, with their
present or with any other force, crush
ing the revelation. The,whole island is
in arms against them. The ranks of the
insurgents are daily recruited by the
best blood in the island. The leading
social clubs of Santiago de Cuba and in
Havana have been recently broken up,
and the members have gone to the field.
A large number of students of the
University of Havana have left their
classes and Joined the rebels. This
shows the earnestness with which the
Cubans regard this struggle. They will
never give up, and the indications now
clearly point to their ultimate success.
"It Is generally understood in Cuba,
among those who have daily conf

army, that Gen. Maxine Gomez is pre-
pairing to strike some great and deci-

Gomez allowed his intentions to be dis

yellow fever is doing destructive
work along the Spanish lines in the
trncha. 1t is certain to become cpl
demic, though the doctors are fighting
it. The Spanish losses through this
scourge will be frightful. In Havana
the disease has as yet made little head
way, although few cases have developed
in the slums.
'The war Is not likely, in my opinion,
to end soon Unless the United States in
terferes. The Cubans will not abandon
the fight until the Spaniards are driven
from Cuba, and, if necessary, the island
will be practically destroyed and the
Spaniards starved out. Such is the
spirit of resistance displayed by the
rebels"
Gen. johnson scouts the idea that
either of the Maceos has been killed.

This cloth should be folded double, and
cut as indicated in the accompanying
sketch. The bandage is then opened
and placed upon a fiat surface-on
ones knee, for instance, and the fin
ger to be bandaged laid on 1t with the
palm of the hand down. The upper
flap is then turned down, and the first
set of tails is tied over it with only one
knot, leaving the ends loose. These
are in turn covered by the second set
of tails. The remaining tails are tied
in exactly the same way, except that
the last set is tied in double knot, so
as to make the bandage entirely secure.
In tying the tails they should be drawn
snug but not too tight. This makes a
neat, firm and very satisfactory ban
dage. It has only to be used in order to
demonstrate its advantages.

Bandaging a cut finger Is probably
the simplest of surgical operations, yet
not one in q hundred can do it success

either very clumsy, through the use of a
