Key West, June 8, 9:l5 p. m.-On
June 4 the steamer Roath informed
an auxiliary gunboat off Cardenas
that an American warship had
captured two Spanish gunboats
200 miles east of Cardenas and was
towing them, Afterward the aux
iliary gunboat sighted at night an
unidentified American warship. The
officer on the bridge said she was
alone, but other persons on board
thought they saw one small boat in
tow.
There is great sceptlcism here as
to the reported capture. Officers
say the prizes would have arrived if
sent here before this.
The so-called Spanish gunboats,
or "cannoneras are old slow tugs
carrying one or two guns. There
are many of them along the Cuban
coast but they generally stay
close in shore.

The province of Cavite has COM

pote line to prevent the enemy from
invading the province of Manila,
but the foe has entered through
Bulacan and Moron, sosthat Manila
will thus be attacked by land and
sea.
81 am striving to raise the cour-
age of the inhabitants and will ex-
haust every means of resistance,
but ! distrust the natives and the
volunteers because there have al
ready been many desertions. Ba-
coor and linus have already been

"The insurrection has reached
great proportions and if cannot
count upon the support of the coun-
try the forces at my disposal will
not suffice to hold the ground
against two enemies. "

A report has reached here that

1t is said to be now occupied by
the Philippine insurgents, com
manded by Gen. Aguinaldo.
The rebel junta and wealthy
Philippine islanders residents here
are jubilant over the news.
The United States consulate has
been crowded all day.
The American consul, Mr.. Wild
man, has been the recipient of hun
dreds of congratulatory notes for
the junta, giving him almost as
much credit for the reported cap
ture of Manila as they give to Ag-
uinaldo himself, since Mr.. Wild
man has been their unswerving
champion and has advised in all
their plans.
Consul Wildman does not count
the report that Manila has been
actually occupied yet, but he be-
lieves it will be at or before next
Saturday.
The Spanlards have been fighting
desperately, but their marksman-
ship is poor and they have lost

 PORTLAND, March 1.-The Snow and Ice Transportation Company, which pur- posed to push into Dawson City with it's ice locomotives, in spite of the abandon ment of the Government expedition, to- day gave up the struggle. It has stored its machinery in Portland, settled with holders of it's tickets and retired as grace fully as possible.
 It was generally understood when the Government expedition was declared off that the Snow and Ice people, who had organized on the strength of a Govern ment contract for transporting relief supplies, would drop their project. But Manager Rosenfeld thought differently until, on consultation with his Eastern associates, he decided that discretion was the better part of valor.
 Every difficulty that could be imagined has confronted Rosenfeld at every step, but he, nevertheless, persisted. He as sembled his plant of locomotives and sleds at Portland, chartered the steam ship National City to carry his passengers and sold tickets by dozens throughout the East at $500 apiece. One thing after an- other hampered and delayed him, how ever, until now the Government has backed down. and he could hardly hope to go forward on his own resources which are said to be limited. It is whispered that part of Rosenfeld's present scheme is suit against the Government for breach of contract.

REDWOOD CITY, March 4-James Wilett. the accomplice of Moore, alias Raymond. and Winters in the murder of c. A. Andrews at Baden in Novem- Der last, is waiting to hear from rela- lives he claims to have in Texas before making any further statements con- corning his participation in the crime. He was in joyful mood all day, chat ting pleasantly with his fellow prison CTS and cracking jokes with the guards.
 II would just as leave swing on the end of a rope as go back to Folsom, he said. Perhaps I will swing any way. It makes no difference. I have found in my experience that have to nav the State for nearly all the tricks I ever turned, and l guess l have not paid all my debts yet.
 He asked several times If a reply to the telegram he sent to an uncle in Texas had been received. From the tone of his inquiries his guards are of the opinion that he expects help from them to get him out of the present predicament During the day he hinted at several crimes he had committed, and for which he never was suspected. For those crimes, he said. he should have spent twice his lifetime in prison,
 
 served were for crimes in which he was but slightly implicated.
 Raymond and Winters, he said, were his accomplices in most of his recent crimes The three worked for several days in the vicinity of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Francisco and held up more than one person. They robbed one man In front of the church early in November. All they got from him was $20. The man pleaded for the return of a dollar or two of 1t, but it was not given him. On that occasion one of the robbers lost his mask. It was afterward found and the police of San Francisco are holding 1t as evidence against the robbers when they catch them. Wilett said with laugh when he finished the story:
 '.The robbers are caught"
 The prisoner denies having any knowledge of any person serving a sentence at San Quentin Prison for a crime he had committed.
 '.All the crimes I ever committed I paid for, with perhaps a few excep- tions. No one that I know of Is doing time for my tricks"
 Sheriff Mansfield believes that if Wilett does not hear favorably from the relatives he claims to have in Texas he will admit his guilt in the Baden murder and tell of all the other crimes of his checkered career. Will ett Is fond of boasting of the acts of his criminal life, and when he finds that he cannot hope to esape life sen tence or avoid the hangman he will tell of many crimes that are yet puzzling the police of several cities

ADVERTISEMENTS.
s YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad- vanced years are realized by compara- lively few women.
 Their hard lives, their liability to se- rious troubles on account of their pecu- liar organism and their profound igno- rance concerning themselves, all com- bine to shorten the period of usefulness and fill their later years with suffering.
 Mrs Pinkham has done much to make women strong. She has given advice to many that has shown them how to guard against disease and retain vigor- ous health in old age. From every cor ner of the earth there is constantly com ing the most convincing statements from women, showing the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinlzhams Vegetable Com pound in overcoming female ills. Here is letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 220 Horner St., Johnstown, Pa., which is earnest and straight to the point: ~
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it my duty to tell all suffering women that I think your remedies are wonderful. I had trouble with my head, dizzy spells and hot flashes. Feet and hands were cold, was very nervous, could not sleep we'll, had kidney trouble, pain in ovaries and congestion of the womb. Since taking your remedies am better every way My head trouble is all gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am cured of womb trouble. 1 can eat and sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. I o~pc;Iar 1vc,Yr rnadicipa fba hest, tO fa had for female troubles"
 The present Mrs. Pinkhams experi- ence in treating female ills is unparal- lelled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as hundred thousand ailing women during a single year.
