He Considers His Throne More Stable
Than Alphonso's

city after six months visit to Cuba.
During that time he was engaged in
flibustering, was twice arrested and con-
fined in Moro Castle, and also spent two
weeks in the camp of General Gomez, of
the insurgent army.
In speaking of the insurgents, Mr.. Frost
says: Gomez is King. His word is law
and it is forced with an iron hand. Vices
are not tolerated, not even card playing.
The old general, who fought through one
war, natural leader of men, able though
not educated is all the law that these men
have. With him are several Americans.
I'm spite of all reverses, Gomez is still
confident, and his faith inspires the men
under him. They are looking to the
United States for help and believe that the
day of their deliverance is near at hand"
1t was previous to this visit to General
Gomez that Frost was arrested. He was
put under guard at Matanzas and tried be-
fore a drum head court-martial. He was
convicted and sent to Moro Castle at
Havana with forty other prisoners, but
was released three days later through the
efforts of General Lee. He was few
days later again arrested and confined
until word was sent by General Lee to re-
lease him. During his three days con-
fnement he says many prisoners were
shot and he and his companions expected
to meet the same fate.

THE BATTLE AT MANILA
THE ONE SUBJECT DISCUSSED IN
ENGLAND
The Great Preponderance Of British
Sentiment Favors Americas
Cause and Rejoices

LONDON, May I'm the house of parlia-
ment, at the hotels, which are beginning
to be full of American tourists, at all the
government offices and particularly at the
American legation, the brilliant defeat of
the Spanish fleet by the Asiatic fleet of the
United States at Manila was the one sub
ject talked of through the day.
The United States embassy was the CEN
ter of interest for all London. There was
continuous line of callers requiring in
formation, the majority being Americans.
United States Ambassador Col. Hay is
overjoyed at the success of the prowess
of the American navy, remarking concern
ing Commodore Dewey, who is a personal
friend of the ambassador:
at is hard to imagine so quiet and ami
able a gentleman controlling fierce naval
battle. 1t is these quiet, gentlemanly
Americans, however, who may be depended
upon to surprise the world when the OPP
portunity for making history comes in the
line of duty"
The United States attache declared the
| result was merely what he expected.
The hotel bulletins are surrounded with
enthusiastic Americans, many of them dis
playing minute flags in their buttonholes
Many British officers have expressed the
warmest admiration for the work of the
American fleet. In fact, q preponderance
of sentiment in the British navy seems TO
be with the Americans and officers are
giving many practical proofs of their par
TALLY International courtesy however,
debarred the high officials from comment
ing on the engagement.
The Spanish force of auxiliary cruisers,
in regard to which vague reports have
emanated from Madrid, has been over
estimated. The best two ships, the Column
bia and Normanna, formerly of the Ham,
burg American line, are yet unarmed, and
it is believed they will be unable to secure
armament.
The chief factor of the remainder of the
Spanish force of auxiliary cruisers con-
sists of six steamers belonging to the Bar
celona Transatlantic Steamship company.
They are fairly well armed, but they have
been scattered. Two of them are with the
Cape Verde squadron as transports; one
is conveying the torpedo fleet; another, it
Is stated, is at Santiago de Cuba and two
are at CadiZ.

A SOLDIERS SUICIDE
His Mind Unsettled by an Attack of
Chagres Fever

MOBILE, Ala, May 1.-The Springhill
camp was distressed today by the suicide
of First Lieut.. Rowland c. Hill of Com
pany G, Twentieth infantry. He had been
standing In front of his tent, talking to
other officers, and had his revolver in his
hand. AS he turned away he raised the
revolver to his head and shot himself in the
back of the left ear. He died instantly.
Lieutenant Hill had been acting queerly
for several days. His health has not been
good since he suffered from Chagres fever
some years ago, while detailed on topo-
graphical work in Central America, in
connection with the Interoceanic railway.
He became Respondent when the Twenty
second was ordered to Tampa, and was
heard frequently to mutter, "They won't
let me go; they won't let me CO." He said
he was satisfied he would not be allowed
to go to Cuba. This idea seemed to control
him and apparently unsettled him. He
was a native of Muscatine, Iowa, and
graduated in 1881 at West Point. He was
promoted in 1890, and was to have been
made captain in a few days. He was Al
years Of age, and leaves widow now Wis
iting with her mother in Columbus, Ohio.
His father was killed in the battle of Nash
