GAINING IN THE PHILIPPINES
Cuban Advices state That the RevO-
luton Is Growing.

The Cuban delegation has received
communicat from Hong Kong. from
the Cuban agent there, who has been in
communication with the revolutionary
committee in the Philippines 1t is as
follows:
Archipelago, the Philippines Will be free
before Cuba. From most reliable sources
it is learned that only the province of
Noyeleta is wholly in the hands Of the
Spaniards. For the rest OF the island. the
province of Cavide is i'll the hands OF the
insurgents, while in the province of
Manila the patriots are strong. In the
province OF Bulacan the revolution is
ma king headway.
The islanders are making a most sue
ceSsful fight for freedom throughout the
whole country. The Spanish forces have
been Obliged to scatter in order to occupy
many points at once, and are therefore
unable to operate i'll large forces. The
revolution is daily increasing not only
in the extent OF territory occupied by the
patriots, but in numbers and equipment.
1t is sad to compare the efficient aid
that has been given to the reyolutiOnStS
in the Philippines by the japanese, and
the hostility that | am told, is exercised
in the shipment of arms from the United
States to Cuba
The spaniards will probably initiate a

ernment"
Senor Quesada said that he did not credit
the news of Maceo's death as the dispatches
bore all the marks of fabrication by the
Spanish.
But said he, 1.-THE world must under

WITHOUT PAPA'S CONSENT
Miss ShaWen and Mr.. Steel Brayed
Parents for Love
Foiled at Harper's Ferry, They
Journeyed to Annapolis and
Were Wed.

In spite of the efforts that have been
made to keep it quiet the marriage OF
Miss Mamie Shawen, a belle of Capitol Hill,
TO MIR James steele, son Of well known
baker Of that name, has leaked out and
was the gossip among small company
Of friends of the couple last night
Itis repetition of the story of Cupid's
successful pranks when bars are strongest
Miss Shawen is the daughter of Mr.. Oscar
shaver. No. 226 + street northeast. For
more than year Mr.. steele has been
caller a her house but the parents of the
young woman are said to have never
thought the relationship surpassed the
bounds of friendship.
While the fond parents on either side,
however, We're rejoicing in the friendship
Mr.. Steele and Miss Shawen were care
fully planning their marriage. The young
womaE's parents would have opposed the
union, ii is said, If the matter had been
brought to their attention, because of the
youth OF their daughter, who has Just
passed her nineteenth birthday.
Under pretext that they Were going
TO Cabin John Bridge, the young people
left home last Monday noon. They did not
proceed further than the Baltimore and
Ohio station, however, when they bought
tickets for Harper's Ferry.
At the station they Were joined by Mr.
Harry Dodge, who had previously been
introduced tOthe secret and whowent with
them to the West Virginia city.
But the young couple were doomed to
disappointment in that directio ion and were
refused marriage license because Mr..
Steele was not willing to swear, as re-
qured by the State laws, that the consent
of the brides parents had been given.
Nothing daunted, the wedding party
found its way TO Annapolis, Nd, where
late in the evening a license was secured
and the couple were married.
Upon their arrival in this city Mr.. and
Mrs. Steele sought the home of their
respective parents. The matter has been
kept a profound secret until last night,
when the first news OF the roma ntic es-
capade was told by q friend of the con-
tracing parties.
Miss Shawen, or Mrs. Steele, is an eX-
cellent pianist, and her husband has been
continuing his evening visits to the house
since Monday. All this time the Young
lady's parents have treated him as a
visiting friend, little dreaming the whole

PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.
Its Annual Business Meeting and
Election Held.

The Presbyterian Alliance of the Dis
trict OF Columbia held its annual business
meeting and election of officers last night
at the New York Avenue Church. The
large audience present showed that the
subjects under discussion We're of great
interest 10 the Prcsbyterlans of the Dis
trict.
After short devotional exercises the
business meeting began, and the alliance
proved its confidence and satisfaction in
the present corps of Officials by re-eIcct-
ing the entire list, with the exception of
some changes in the board of directors
which were made necessary by unavoida bic
circumstances.
Rev. DR.. Radcliffe made an address. In
which he spoke OF the breadth and freedom
of PreSbyterianiSm in that all crccds and
rituals could be used in the services of the
church without offense and with perfect
appropriateness.
As a movement in which the Presby-
terians Of the District could Join as q dis
tnctly Presbyterian project, he advocated
the organization of Home for Deaconesses
here in Washington as an institution jvhfch
would do as much good as any hospital or
university that could be founded.

Before Committing the Deed AS
SauIted His Wife With an AN.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 1O.-A DanvilIe spe-
cial to the Dispatch says: Information
reached Danville early this morning OF a.
distressing tragedy that occurred Wednes-
day morning at Wbtnell, Pittsylvania coun
ty, about fifteen miles from this city.
James S. Hamlett, aged upward of sew
enty years, after assaulting his wife with
wood AK, inflicting an ugly cash in her
head, went to a body of pines on his farm
and hanged himself, using pair of rope
plow-lines The body of the suicide was
discovered shortly after the act was com
mitted.
Hamlet evidently climbed up the tree,
fastened the plow-lines and jumped off the
limb to which they were attached His neck
was broken by the jump.
He was in prosperous circumstances, and
nothing of serious character in the way
of a difference with his wife on any pre-
vlouS occasion was known TO neghbOrS.
He leaves five children, all grown, none of
whom lived under the parental roof. Mrs.
Hamlet, it is thought, will recover.

LITTLE GIRL TRIES SUICIDE

Trashy Novels.

Rutherford \ j., Dec. I0.-Prctty Anna
Mansfield the twelve yetr-oid daughter OF
Sergt. John Mansfield, of Company l., Sec
ond Regiment, lies at her home here suf-
fering from the effects Of poison and
bullet wound inflicted 10y herself. That
She is not now dead is considered by the
physicians almost miraculous.
" You wont see Inc at school tomorrow,
girls. j am never coming egan," Anna
said to her Schoolmates yesterday after
noon.
The other children laughed The idea
OF Anna killing herself was too prepOSJcr-
Gus TO occur 4" them.
On the wa y home she passed playmate
without speaking, mach 10 the child friends
dismay, for Anna was one Of the merTiest
girls in the school
At home she ran quickly upstairs. The
pretty cottage was without an occupant
except herself. Ms. Mansfield, her mother,
was visiting friends in Jersey City, and
her father was at his work in New York.
In a trunk in the garret Were some play
things. Anna pulled them out and tossed
them about on the floor. Two or three
notes from her school friends she tore in
fragments. What passed in her chiId's
mind cannot tee known.
on a shelf in the bathroom was a bottle
Of carbolic acid which her mother had for
household purposes. Anna drank IL all. II
had been diluted. and the child, despite
the fact that she was suffering great
agony, Soon realized the fact that it
would not Kill her.
Upstairs in the top drawer Of her fathers
bureau was an old-faShioned revolver,
1T had been loaded for years.
Anna era wlcd TO the room and got it.
it was heavy and brutal looking enough
20 make any girl shuddcr. But Ler
heart did not fail her. She placed it di-
rectly at Ter right temple.
Tue shot passed through her head and
into the wall The doctors say il is
little short of marvellous that il did not
Kill her instantly.
After shooting herself, however, Anna
walked out on the porch and sat down.
Sue began 10 grow weak and called to
Mrs. Kinguorn. the next-door neighbor.
Anna used to read novels. Maybe they
had put tie idea into her head. Perhaps
q wounded Guild love, influenced by the
novels, led TO the suicide.
Mr.. Mansfield arrived home about 6
O'Clock. and his wife came nearly at the
Same time The scene that followed
brought tears to the eyes of the hardest
hearted Neither of them could give any
reason for Annals strange conduct. Mrs
Mansfield could only say that maybe the
child's mind was affected.
DR. II. II HallesteT. who attended the
child. says that she has a chance of re-
covering.
The bullet, - said he, ''entered her right
cheek just below the bone and passed back
OF the nostrils ont of the same place on the
left side. 1t is wonderful that no artery
was severed, as the ball passed through
one OF the mgst sensitive places"

GLASS MAKERS AGREE.
Executive Board of the Two Com

Chicago Dec 1O.-The meeting OF the ex-
ecutive board OF the Western Window Glass
Company and the Pittsburg window tilass
Company, which began yesterday at the
Auditorium Annex Hotel, adjourned today
after a long session, to meet in Columbus
next Thursday. a committee consisting
OF JamesH. Chambers and William Luaffler,
Pittsburg; l.. Bodine, Philadelphia; T. F.
Hart, Muncie, Ind, and II b. Smith. Hart
ford City, Ind, was appointed to devise a
rebate system to be Offered TO jobbers and
large buyers OF glass, and to report to the
executive boards of the two associations
at the earliest possible day.
1t is expected the scheme will be ready
for submission to the Columbus meeting
The Indiana manufacturers will hold a
meeting OF their executive committee in
Munce next Tuesday, and the Pittsburg
manufacturers will meet in that city the
same day to receive the report OF the
Chicago meeting and to instruct for the
Columbus meeting.
The meeting which closed today is re-
garded by the jobbers as the most i'm
portant yet held so far as it will affect
their interests The plan of differentiaIs
to be allowed the trade will determine
whether it is to have a large or small
margin Of profit and the market price for
glass next year. The price Will probably
be increased to the consumer.
The rebate proposition contemplates q
binding obligation on the jobberS and sash
manufacturers to carry a larger and fixed
stock OF glass each month on condition of
receiving the 1-2 per cent. rebate now
allowed. At present jobbers have been
buying as little as possible III anticipation
of a fall in prices.
The meeting also agreed not to change
prices for the thirty days from December
4 to January Ia and no manufacturer
is to contract at current rates for more
than a months product of their factories
which means a total output of 500 900
boxes for the month mentioned if all the
factories are in blast by December IA.
This restriction OF output is contingent
upon no agreement being reached on a
rebate system within the N onth
