A LOVE-SICK PAIR.
Married at Night on the Rolling Bill
lows.

Monterey, Cal, June 16.-The par
ticulars of one of the oldest weddings
that ever occurred hereabouts have just
become known and are serving as the
topic of the moment. Last Sunday
j. w. Thompson and Mamie Olsen, aged
respectively II and 171a years, drove
over from Salinas, accompanied by the
brides sister and brOther-in-law, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. S. BanksOn, and endeavor-
ed to engage a minister to perform q
marriage ceremony for them at sea.
Rev. H. S. Snodgrass, who is the
clergyman always sought by couples
who resort to weddings on the high
seas off this point, positively refused
to go with them on Sunday, and they
were obliged to wait until the Sabbath
was over. Immediately after midnight,
however, the party procured a boat
and set out, and when the three-mile
limit was passed the ceremony was
performed. Magnificent moonlight
characterized the night and added
weirdness to the romantic wedding.
The groom is employed at the sugar
factory at Spreckels and the bride was
a resident of BlancO.

BETTER THAN A GOAT.
Fatal Result of Butting- Match Be-
tween Hard-Heads-

Paris, June 16.-Julien Picot, alias
Ironskull, and Henry Chassier, alias
Ferret, were rivals for the affections of
a Boulevard belle, so they had fight
which resulted in Chassier being left
for dead in the street, his defeat being
due to his adversary's remarkable
talent for butting, which had earned
him the sobriquet of Ironskull.
When Chassier recovered he equipped
himself with a breastplate of leather,
studded with sharp nails with project
ing points. He then sailed forth in
search of Ironskull. The men met,
duel was arranged, and the Ferret af-
forded his adversary a tempting oppor-
tunity for placing the celebrated butt.
The Ferret was duly knocked down,
and the GREATNESS spectators were sur
prised that, instead of kicking or jump
ing on his PROSTATE foe, IronskuH fell
down also and remained motionless.
It was found that his skull had been
perforated in five places by the nails.
He is not expected to survive. His adj

HARD PRESSED.
Spaniards Retiring Before the
Philippine Insurgents.

Madrid, June 16.-10 a. m.-Advices
received here today by the Liberal from
Manila under date of June 6, practical
ly repeat the news contained in the dis
patch of June Is, from the Shanghai
correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph who forwarded upon that
occasion information which he had re-
ceived from Manila up to June 8, say
ing that on June the insurgents forced
the passage of the Zapote river and
captured Las Pinus and Paranaki, since
which time the fighting of the insur-
gents and Spaniards was continuous
and the latter were being continually
driven back.
The Liberals dispatch explains 'in
the face of Aguinaldo's superior forces
the Spaniards were compelled to re-
treat
The Spanish correspondent also says:
1.-THE fighting continues incessantly-
There are skirmishes at intervals day
and night and lack of provisions mas
compelled the Spaniards to yield at
certain points. Both ammunition and
food are most scarce. Nevertheless the
Spaniards are animated by the best
spirit and are fighting heroically. The
wounded, who are crowding into the
churches and converts, have been
placed under the protection of the Red
Cross.
1T is reported that the archbishop
has gone to the insurgents in the hope
of moderating their animosity and pre-
venting acts of violence.
The JesuitS are seeking places of
refuge in the province of Battenzas,
and the sisters are fleeing to places of
safety in the province of La Guiana.
TT is not expected that Manila will
capituIate until the American troops
arrive"

MEXICANS HOSTILE.
New Yorker Says He Was Compelled
to Leave the Republic.

Saratoga, June 16.-Mr. and Mrs.
James K. Livingston and their daughter
arrived here from QueretarO, Mexico,
$50 miles north of the City of Mexico.
Mr.. Livingston says they left on ac-
count of Mexican hostility to Anneri-
cans, arising out of the war with Spain.
He has been at QueretarO a year. and
had no trouble until the war began.
Then pro-Spanish sentiment made itself
felt. MeXicans known to be friendly
to the United States were found dead
with knives sticking in them. There
was no investigation in such cases, and
the crimes attracted little attention.
To wear an American flag was suicide
Mr.. Livingston heard that he was to be
assassinated May 80. and he left the
country at 8 o'clock in the morning. He
was armed, as were DR.. Sheldon and
the Wells-Fargo agent, the only other
Americans in the place, who escorted
his family to the train. In QueretarO
the churches are decorated with Span
ish flags, and prayers are offered for the
victory of the Spanish arms. Ameri-
cans, says Mr.. Livingston, have no con-
ception of the bitter feeling against
them in Mexico. President Diaz and
his cabinet are doing all in their power
to observe strict neutrality They
treat Americans with the greatest cour-
teSy.

NO FEAR OF BULLETS.
Vessels Continue to Violate Regula-
lions in Mined Harbors

Washington, June 16.-Reports at the
war department show a continued neglect
by owners and masters of vessels of the
engineer regulations bearing on the entry
of vessels to mined harbOrs after sunset
and before sunrise. The officials express
surprise a these fragrant violations of the
rules. as the vessels put themselves con-
stantly in great danger OF being blown up
and of losing the lives of all aboard. while
a the same time they subject the depart
ment to great annoyance and to the ne
cessity of repairing the damage done.
Only last week a vessel coming into New
York harbor dragged the cables connect
ing the mines with the shore batteries a
long distance with the result that a long
time will be necessary to repair the dam
age done. This is only an isolated case.
Even if the vessels themselves do not SUI
fer by violating these regulations. their
crews and passengers are in danger. a

the vessel to heaVe to. sometimes open
fire upon the offenders with their guns.

MINERS FEAR PIRATES.
Klondikers Afraid to Send Gold on
Steamers.

San Francisco, Cal, June 16.-The first
boat from Dawson is expected about July
4. But it is not likely that any miners
will trust their gold on a vessel unless
she is escorted by a government steamer.
There is a very general impression around
Dawson that pirates have banded together
to attack gold-carrying vessel on the
high seas and loot her. Mr.. Stanley of
Seattle has two sons at Dawson who have
100000 in gold dust and they firm in
their statements that they will not trust
their gold on any unescorted vessel. The
pirates are supposed to be from the Sound
country.
Ship captains from Sound ports have
heard nothing definite regarding the ex-
istence of pirates, but they say miners are
sure of plot and that unless vessels are
protected no gold will be brought down
from the Yukon.
