AninaId;T,s SDnnish Prisoners.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Up to this time
the officials here have not been able to
ascertain the number of Spanish pris.
oners held by the Filipino insurgents,
but they are certain that the estimate
from Madrid of 10000 is very much
too high. Admiral Dewey looked into
the condition of some Of these prisoners
held by AgunaldO at CaVite early in
the war and again lately 1t is believed
that the lot of the Spanish soldier pris-
oners, who in July numbered 1000, is
much better than that of the clerical
prisoners. 1t may be that the total
number of prisoners in the hands of
the insurgents will run well up to-
wards 5000.

workmen were at once secured but the flames
have assumed frightful proportions and they
have made no appreciable gain. The smoke
has filled the gangway to such an extent
that it is impossible to get at the fire proper
and they are virtually compelled to go it
blind. Arrangements are already being made
to erect dams on either side of the burning
portion and fill them with water, in this
manner drowning out the fire. 1t is i'm
possible at this junctuTe to form any idea as
to the probable result. The colliery is the

THE TRAIN.
One Case in which There Was Some
Confusion.

Mrs Entertainer had a guest that was
to take the nine o'clock train. So mine
hostess called up the only bus in the
village, whose function it was to carry
mail, express and small freight
"Will you call at my house for the
morning train?" she asked.
The proprietor said he would. There
upon he forgot all about it, and his wife
sent him after meat for dinner. Just
as he was going out of the meat market
with the pound and a half of pork, his
mar came rattling down the street with
the bus, mail, etc. Then il struck the
mind of the forgetful proprietor that he
had neglected to tell his driver to go
after Mrs. Entertainers guest. He
rushed into the street. hastily explained
that the driver must take the mail to
the train ~a-shoulder, while he turned
the bus about and went back after the
waiting passenger.
There was a great rumble and scatter
ing of dust up the street that made the
single feminine passenger inside the
coach catch hold of the seat acI scowl
in reproach that was utterly lost upon
the reckless driver without. With a
graceful, but not altogether safe turn,

Where is she?" repeated Mrs. En-

is now, out in the bus"
"Out in the bus? Well, I'd like to
know how she got there?"
And the nonplused proprietor began
to wonder if he had lost his mind.
"We got worried, you KNOW" ex-
planned Mrs. Entertainer, because the
bus did not come, and called you up
again. The man came at once and got

HIS IN
Many Trials OF an EngIishman with
His StenOGrapher.

An Englishman who drops his his and
aspirates his as and a stenographer and
typewriter who spells Theoretically from
dictation make a combination from
which trouble is sure to result unless
the copy" is carefully revised. The
manager of one of the most important
manufacturing plants in Cleveland is
an Englishman. Not long ago he m
ployed a young mar to act as his Sc
nographer, and one of the first things
that the latter was called upon to do
was the taking down" of a letter to the
managers wife, who was away at asum-
mer resort. Being a busy mar the man
ager didn't take the trouble 20 look at
the letter after it had been typewrit-
ten. but when his wife answered it
there was q hot time for the stenogra-
pher. MY dear Henry" she wrote.
what on earth do you mean by calling
me Hannah and our little Horace
'Orris?' l viii admit that this sounds
like you. but why do you make a joke of
it before your employees"
OF course the fond husband and
father didn't know what il all meant,
and so he wrote for an explanation,
when his first letter was sent back TO
him.
One glance at it and he rushed over
to mis- stenographer. eXcitedly threw
the sheet down before him and de-
manded: There, what do you mean.
sir, by writing my wife's name down
''Annah?'"
"Anna?" replied the young man; "let
me see. No, I've got it Hannah, all
right"
But" said the manager, who was
furious" it's not ''Annah,' it's 'Hanna!"
well, there it is, Hannah-H-a-n-
NAH"
Anna be dashed!" exclaimed the
manager. "A-n-n-a. Hanna! Can't
you understand English, you BANKED
fool?"
BY this time the stenographer began
to see through the trouble, so he begged
off upon the plea that having had a
swelling in one of his ears he had net
been able TO hear very we'll. BUTT cost
him nearly a weeks salary to square
things with the other boys in the office.
and he always deems it best to hide
when he hears the managers wife in
the hall.-Cleyeland Lender.

Speaking of caves" remarked the
drummer whose territory extends from
New York to everywhere. Il suppose
you don't know of that down yonder in
the cave section of southwestern Ken
lucky it isn't unusual for the towns
which are built over caves to use them
as sewers, and there's many a kitchen
with it's sink leading right down into
the depths of the earth. But an even
odder use than this to which nature
may be put 1 discovered in the cave
country of Virginia.
The little town of Eldridge. with a
population of six or seven hundred, has
a large contingent of miners, to be
handled by the authorities, and when
they get ugly they are ugly indeed.
Two or three coolers for their accom-
mediation when drunk and disorderly
had been burned or torn down by them,
and the town marshal was hard put to
know what to do. At last the editor Of
the local paper suggested that theeave
in the mountain not 300 yards from the
city hall would be just the thing for a
calaboose, and the marshal proceeded to
investigate. He found that the way
then in use to get into it was down a
ladder so feet through an entrance six
or eight feetin diameter, andthat when
once in the cave the air was dry and
good; there was a stream of fine water,
and that, though it was dark, the cleo
trio light could be introduced easily
from the town plant.
THAT was his report, and without
saying anything much to anybody beds
and boards and a few other pieces of
necessary furniture were taken down,
and on Saturday night when the boys
began to whoop it up and were taken
in they were carefully let downinto the
cave by a rope on a portable windlass
that had been rugged over the mouth,
and silence prevailed OF. the face. of the
earth. The lights were turned on and
it was bright and cheerful; the boys
bad all the room they wanted; they
could do as they pleased down there),
and the loudest noise they could make
couldn't possibly be heard ON earth.
That plan worked with eminent sue
cess until one night there was a fight
and a man was hurt, and then the aus
thorities fixed up some cages, or pens,
and an officer went down first to receive
the visitors and care for them on their
arrival. 1t has been working that way
ever since and'is undoubtedly the safest
prison in the whole country and is the
cheapest and most enduring."-wash.
