 REACHES EASTON, PA.
Remains Quietly in Hotel Await : ing Letters From Her
 Friends

NEW YORK, Aug. L-An Easton, Pa, special to the Herald says: Lady Leilah Yarde- Butler, who was liberated recently from an insane asylum in Paris, and who upon reaching New York on her way to San Francisco became separated from her friends. has been found in Easton, Pa The story of the woman s coming eastward Is almost as strange as the tale of her life. She started on a Lehigh Valley train Friday afternoon from New York for her summer home in California. She told the conductor separated from her guardian and friends who were to have met her at the station
 She had no ticket and was without money. Her manner and dress showed her to be person of more than usual intelligence and culture, and the hand bags she carried with her bore Cunard line labels, showing that she had recent " crossed the ocean. Not Knowing who his passenger was, the conductor brought her to Easton, and she was taken to the Franklin House, where Robert Horn, the dations until she might communicate with her friends. At the hotel she registered as Hon. Leilah Kirkham,'' and directly underneath the name a"Yarde- Butler. ' The signature was written in a large bold hand. She has been seen very little about the hotel. She has spent nearly all the time in her room, where her meals are served To the few persons who have met her she has given the impression of written several letters and mailed them since she came to Easton, but up to to- day she received no word from her friends a.c

IN THE CHAMBER OF DEATH AT THE
 HOME OF BISMARCK
Features of the Prince Serene and Natural, Little Changed
 From Life.

Special cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald Copyrighted 1898. by James Cor
 don Bennett. s2
 FRIEDRICHSRUHE Aug. 1.-Pro- lessor Von Lenbach arrived this after noon. He has just seen Bismarck body and tells me of his impressions. Bismarck looks simple and dignified- very much in death as in life, though paler if possible. Hands always beau tfful have become more delicate still, but death has not changed Prince Bis marck as it did Dr. Dollinger, who in life had a somewhat reddish face, which in death was idealized almost to marble like cameo.
 Professor von Lenbach Is eloquent with anecdotes concerning his idoli3ed friend. He was here on the occasion of Prince Bismarck's eightieth birthday three years ago, and on parting told the Prince he felt sure he had many happy years yet before him.
 My dear Lenbach," Bismarck re- piled, "the first eighty years of a mans life are always the happiest."
 More recently still, last year. in say ing goodby, Professor von Lenbach again expressed the hope that his friend would see still some happy days. To this Prince Bismarck replied:
 There's only one happy day left for me; it is the one on which shall not wake up again.
 Two of the Princes foresters in gray and green uniforms hold guard by the bedside. They are changed every two hours. l glanced around the plainly furnished room, On the wall over the head of the bed hang the pictures of the Princes favorite horse and dog; to the left hang the pictures of Princess Bismarck, their son William and DOT trait of Schweninger by Professor won Lenbach; at the foot of the bed still stands the Princes weighing machine. and still further away is the couch on which Dr. Schweninger slept watching for months past when at FriedrichS- ruhe.
 Passing into the next room I find it filled with objects sadly reminding me of the departed statesman. A picture of Ii Hung Chang rests on the floor for want of a better place, but a globe of the world, with raised mountains and deepened seas, has a place eon the table, and an article appropriate and useful to one for whom the world was indeed a Stage-an' arena or battle Drinking cups are there, too, and there are a number Of hats and sticks. The room in which Bismarck died Is being draped with black, as the body is to remain there until the mausoleum Is built.
 This evening his remains will be placed in a coffin which is of black pol ished wood, with two massive silver handles and four metal feet represent ing a lions head. The funeral service has been deferred until tomorrow, as it is Count Williams birthday. A guard of Bismarck's cuirassiers in their white uniforms arrived from Halberstadt this morning. Prince Hohenlohe, Imperial Chancellor, has just come on visit or condolence.

SPANISH TROOPS ARE
 LAUNDERING IN PORTO RICO

PONCE, Porto Rico, July 50 Cby The Call Herald dispatch boat to St. Thomas; D. w: T., Aug. Messengers who have come posthaste to this city for assistance report that the spanish troops have precipitated a wild clash + between themselves and the residents of Guayama, thirty-five miles distant. In retreating from the American army of invasion the Spanish troops have continued their work of destruction al several points, but thefr. action at Qua wanna was so vicious that the citizens formed themselves into quickly or ganized body for resistance
 Acting under orders. from their com mander, General .Reyer, the spanish troops sacked the town, many residents fleeing in alarm. The sGfdlers then broke into the homes of other restdInts
 insulted anG abused the owners and paid re attention to the protests that were made After they had sacked the town the SpaniaTdS went to the City Hall with the intention Of setzlng the municipal funds, which, amounting 10 s27. 900. were locked in a. vault. Several hundred angry citizens thereupon gath cred about the building, determined to resist. General Reyer. alarmed at this unexpected action. sent orders recalling the main body of his troops which then was several miles further. on. ''
 This was the situation in GQayama when the messengers. mounted horses and started in great haste for Ponce to seek assistance. They assert that Gen. eral Reyer threatened to kill all who resisted his men and to. burn the town afterward. The messengers implered the aid of General Wilson, but of course nothing can be. done for. the. present, as virtually. the. same condition of affairs exists in many small towns in .the:::ln7 terior.

ST. MICHAEL RISKS

Vancouver Firms Forced Out so1 Business and Victorians Are 's'
 Also Hit Hard.

VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 1--Local marine underwriters who have been talk ing risks on stern-wheelers going as tews to St. Michael are panic-stricken. Owing to the frequent. wrecks they have lost thousands in the past two months. On Saturday they raised the rate from to 10 per cent. ::
 News of the wreck of the Vancouver steamer Mono north of Wrangel reached here to-day. and the underwriters decided to go out of business altogether. The Victoria underwriters who lost heavily by
 insuring the Inflated Moran fleet have signifled their intention of doing like wise. Insurance men say they would not take risks now at 20 per cent and in con- sequence any stern-y hee1ers leaving here for the north in future will go uninsured. Most of the vessels lost recently were ing the marine. companies have been hit hard.

tween the Spaniards and rebels for four days past, neither side caring to fight in the rain. There has been a shortage of hreWood at camp on several occa- sions. The natives have driven off with knives the soldiers sent to cut down trees, and clashes have been imminent at: several times, but the officers have been able to restrain the soldiers.
 Major Bell of the Bureau of Military Information, accompanied by Lieuten- ant Connor of the Engineers, and Rear Engelsjon, a Norwegian, and a former resident of Manila, have returned to Caxite from the most daring recon notssance yet accomplished. They were landed by the Petrel north of Manila. and Itrayeled three days through the rain and in the water sometimes waist deep. They acquired valuable topo- graphical information.
 The men encamped are exposed to the weather, and unless a forward move ment occurs soon much sickness is in- eXitable, as the camp Is on low lying land not easily drained.
 :: According to the present plans probable demand for the surrender of Manila will be sent to Captain General August. If the surrender is refused the fleet will attack in front and the First and Second Brigades under Gen eral Anderson will advance southeast through San Sodro, Macate and Wan duyola:Yon upon the Spanish positions at: Santa Ana and Santa Mesa If Cap tain General August surrenders the American troops will land at Manila, the troops at Camp Dewey holding the insurgents in check.
 General Anderson will not cooperate with the insurgents. General Greene, commanding Camp Dewey, has estab-. 1ished outposts entirely regardless of the. position of Aguinaldo's soldiers.
