Rebel Leaders to Aid Dewey

HoNGKoNe, May 1.-THE Hugh
McCulloch, Admiral Dewey's dis
patch boat, sailed to-day for Manila.
Prior to her departure Consul Wild
man took on board General Agui-
naldo, Colonel del Pillar, Private
Secretary Leyls, and fifteen other
rebel leaders, forming the insurgent
Cabinet.
General Aguinaldo will land at
Cavite, where $4,000 troops are re-
ported to await him to complete the
humiliation OF Spanish rule in the
Philippines. General Aguinaldo
has promised to conduct his cam
paign on humane lines and to give
absolute allegiance to Admiral
Dewey and Generals Merritt and
Williams. The latter, with Consul
Wildman, carried through the nego-
tiations with the insurgent refugees
in Hongkong.
General Aguinaldo's past record
points to his ability to control the
insurgents and prevent a massacre
at Manila. The Americans expect
an engagement in few days.

FRANCE NOT CORDIAL

Especial Despatch to The Call.
New YoRK, May 18.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent tele-
graphs: While the relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain are being more closely knit
together those with France are not
az cordial as the authorities would
like. 1t developed to-day that
there has been a practical sus.
pension Of the reciprocity negotia.
tions between the Washington and
Paris Governments, due to the ac-
tion OF the French authorities in
increasing the tariff duty on several
American products imported largely
into France.
This increase is particularly felt
by meat shippers, who are indignant
and protests have been made to the
State Department which have caus-
ed the department to submit a
formal protest on the subject to
France. In the meantime recipro-
city negotiations are lauguishing,
and it is doubtful il they will be re-
sumed until France has made .
satisfactory explanation OF her &C.
ton, or at least has reduced the
tariff to the point it was before the
existing law went into effect.
PARIS, May 18.-Mr. Cham oerlsin's
sensational speech is undeniably re-
sponsible for the decided feeling OF
nervousness here. The French press
begins to see it has adopted a mis-
taken policy in declaring pronounc.
eddy for Spain as opposed to the
United States. The Debats, in a
leader published on Monday, tries
to smooth away matters. 1t admits
that the English have profited by
frances action in this matter, and
it says: 1.-THE moment is passed to
sit in judgment on the war. France
has never been really hostile to Am
orleans. This will be we'll under
stood across the Atlantic, where the
present misunderstanding has been
dissipated. Friends OF Spain have
something better to do than to de-
claim against her utterances."

The Newly Married woman.

When a woman enters the marriage
relation her sphere of influence is at
once extended, and her horizon is no
longer bounded by the people and cir
cumstances of the moment She is
building for posterity. In the joy and
thoughtfulness which characterize her
mind in the new relation there is a
prophecy of unborn generations. Her
life is to color other lives; her aspira-
tions are to fix, to a great extent, the
position and future of husband and
family. If she is cultured, pure and re-
fined, these qualities will characterize
the home which she creates. The high
CT the degree of her culture, her purity,
her refinement. the more will these
qualities characterize the home of
which she is the center. The self that
awoman takes with her in her marriage
is her real dover. If her dover car, be
reckoned in numerals only, no matter
how many they may be, wrecked. in
deed, will be her husband, impoverished
her children. But if she possesses in
dustry, gentlencss, self-abnegation,
purity and intelligence, combined with
capability. she is in herself treasure
of treasures.-N. Y. Ledger.

SHOULD NURSES BE PRETTY7
A Question That Would Prove an In
teresting Subject for q De.
batting Society.

"Should trained nurses be pretty or
plain?" The question was raised at q
convention of women in New York the
other day, vigorously discussed, and
then the convention passed on to other
topics. Was it decided? OF course not.
It is woman's province to raise racket
and then the poor men go of and fight
duels or do other foolish things in an
attempt to decide the issue. But should
trained nurses be pretty? A good way
to get at the answer would be to ask
another question: Why shouldn't
they? A number of ladies raised the
point that a good-looking nurse often
plays hob in the household into which
she is taken to attend strictly to bust
ness, and that in hospitals she is con.
stant source of danger to the impres.
s;cnable young physicians with whom
she is thrown in contact.
The point here seems to be that some
trained nurses are entirely too well
trained. But it doesn't decide the
question. Because one or two pretty
nurse girls have done more than the
contract called for, it doesn't follow
that beauty in these n,inistering angels
is to be generally condemned. More.
over, it isn't always the prettiest nurse
girls who prove to be the most fascinat-
ing. What woman lacks.in beauty she
often makes up in grace and charm and
tenderness. But suppose the edict
goes forth that none but homely girls
are to be allowed to enter the guild
where will we get the trained nurses
for the future? We are afraid woman's
injustice to her own sex crops out again
in this discussion. No man would have
ever raised this point, and we are sorry
that it has been raised at all. And yet
no great damage has been done. The
pretty nurse girl speaks for herself,
and she will continue to do so elo.
quently and satisfactorily.-P

Legal nnd Medical Doctors at Odds.
A criminal case is pending in the mill
tary courts which is probably without
precedent in the annals of criminal ju-
risprudence. A Asergeant and corporal
of the Seventh regiment stand accused
of having caused the death of private
soldier by beating him. Incidentally
they are charged with abuse of author
ity and violation of the personal rights
of the soldier. Now the medical ex-
perts have decided that. the beating
administered the dead soldier shortly
before his demise was not the cause of
his death, but, on the contrary, inter-
rupted the progress of cerebral con-
gestion brought on by an excessive use
Of alcoholic stimulants. The experts
held, in fact, that if the beating had
been continued the man might have re-
covered. In spite of this finding the
court found the accused guilty of abuse
of authority and sentenced them to two
years imprisonment each. From this
sentence an appeal has been taken to
the supreme court, whose decision Is
