BURNED HERSELF.
Horrible Suicide of Young WOmse1,
Who Was Engaged to BE Married.

CLEVELAND, o.. June 27.-One of the
most desperate and tragic suicides ever re-
corded in this section was committed early
this morning by Miss Anna Forester, of
No. g. Hamm street, handsome young
woman aged twenty-three, at Oakdale,
suburban pleasure resort where she was
visiting. The young woman entered barn
near the house. where she boarded, with a
coal oil can in her hand. A few moments
later the building was ablaze and Anna For
roster was seen kneeling in the midst of the
flames, apparently praying that her life
which she had no desire to continue, might
be taken away. The crowds of farmers and
their wives and daughters who witnessed
the death agony of the woman endeavored
in vain to save her. When the Smoldering
ruins of the barn We're, searched a few hours
later mass of charred flesh was found.
Miss Forester was engaged to be married.
but SO far as known there was no trouble
between the girl and her lover However,
she has been in poor health of late, and this
may have led the suicide

in the situation. The insurgents have not
made any further advances; the Spaniards
have been continuing the construction of
sand-bank Notifications and the planting of
sharpened bamboos around Manila for the
purpose of stopping the insurgents advance.
The papers here continue appealing to the
natives to come to the assistance of Spain.
The Spanish outposts have prepared to

will probably make only a nominal re-
sistance
A section of the insurgents, it is alleged
dislike the Americans and desires German
protection. Five German war ships are
here.
The Spaniards continue their nightly flu
silade, but the volunteers decline to go to
the trenches while many of the regulars are
riding about town. Thousands of trees in
the vicinity of the citadel have been cut
down. but the botanical gardens remain
All food is held at famine prices.
Two thousand Spaniards are working on

are worrying the Spaniards. but there is no
advance although desultory firing goes on

explosive shells at Santa Ana churches.

MANY WORKMEN ARE IDLE

MANUFACTURING CITIES.
The Government Conscious of tho
Gravity of the Situation, but I'm
able to Help Matters.

LONDON, June 2S.--The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Spain is in a state of ferment, of transition
without parallel during the present century
Troubles of the gravest kind are brewing
all over the provinces. Every political and
social institution is threatened in turn and
the least nervous among far-sighted politi-
clans apprehend a complete debacle. But
the failure of the national defense is not
alone accountable for this. Incredible as it
may seem the majority of Spaniards have
absolutely no interest in the war and even
display willingness to forget the past and
endeavor to rub along without colonies. The
statesmen responsible for the loss of the
colonies are utterly reckless and the indf-
ference of the peoples ruin manifested by
the governing and upper middle classes is
probably unparalleled in history. Hunger
and misery are making themselves felt
throughout the country There will soon be
thirty-five thousand unemployed in Cata-
lonia and everywhere else there are similar
accounts of distress, going from bad to
worse day by day.
THE government is painfully conscious
and is now taking energetic measures, but
all of these are of a coercive character.
Troops which might have successfully de-
Tended the Philippines are being massed at
all the centers where starvation protests are
likely to assume an aggressive form, while
money is being wasted on war ships that
will never fire shot.
1.-THE press expects to be gagged, but it
unanimously declares that no amount of
coercion and no degree of dictatorial des-
potism will hinder the country from rising
and manifesting its WILL What is far more
serious is the unfortunate circumstance that
the dynasty shares in the unpopularity of
the government.
'''The people argue that repression is be-
ing employed solely in favor of the mon
archy, which has remained absolutely pas
sive during the terrible national crisis. On
my way to the palace to witness the con-
firmation of the young monarch 1 heard

Bew things IN our rapid age have been
more rapid than the progress of the dog In
the affections OF mon. The last generation
tolerated him as a necessary nuisance.
with nearly all the female sex after him
with a broom. Today in thousands of
homes he Is a member Of the family.
The bird dog years ago was the most be-
loved of his tribe, and holds that position
still more strongly today among all who
know him. The sportsman loves him al
most like a child, for in the whole range of
brute intelligence there is nothing so re-
markable so every varying and so touch
ing as the work of a good dog on birds. 1t
is a common impression among those who
have never seen one work that the dog sees
the birds. This has arisen from the stupid
pictures copied from English pictures of
dogs pointing with the bird in plain sight of
dog and man, which may be the case with
tame English pheasants. But even there
seeing the birds is quite accidental and
even where the birds are easy to see the
work is really done by scent. The eyes of
a dog are almost as inferior to those of man
rs the nose of man is inferior to that of the
dog. Even at ten PAGES dog will run to
windward of his master to be sure of him,
while at fifty yards he could not tell man
at rest in the woods from stump. If man,
with the advantage, too, of so much greater
height cannot see hiding bird once In a
thousand times, what are the dogs
chances?
