a Victim of Dependency

Los ANGELES, Cal Aug. S.-Mrs.
John Bradbury, wife of the young mil
lioneire, is maniac, the victim of de-
spondency and remorse, at her home
somewhere in Mexico. Two years ago
the Bradburys were leaders of an ex.
elusive set and ruled society in Los An
geles and Southern California. Mrs.
Bradbury is daughter of Gen. Banning,
retired military man. Two years ago
Mrs. Bradbury became infatuated with
a dashing Englshman named Ward,
during the absence of the lat
ter's wife on visit to England.
They fed to this city, where both
were arrested. The woman repended
in her prison cell, and the case against
Ward was finally dismissed. Mrs.
Bradbury met her husband in Chicago,
where q reconciliation took place. The
couple then went to New York, then
to one of Bradbury's villas in the in
terror OF Mexico. Ward either fell or
jumped from train while travelling to
New York, and was killed. Letters
received in this city by friends of Mrs.
Bradbury say she sits hour after hour
staring into vacancy, her mind com :
plete wreck.

THE ARMY.-A dispatch from Wash
ington says: sit is expected that tie
peace agreement will be formally COM
pleted this week, and that hostilities
will be suspended at once. This will
not be followed at an early date by the
disbauding of the army, but, on the
contrary, the period before the signing
OF the formal peace treaty and its ratif
cation by the Senate will be devoted TO
perfecting compact and elective or
ganization of the army and cleaning
and repairing and placing in perfect
condition all the vessels of the navy.
The sick al d wounded of the army
who are regarded as incapiiated for fur
Their service probably will be given
their discharge at an early day. The
men who are Ia good condition or are
suffering only temporary disability will
be held together and put in the best pos
sible shape for service. A part of the
forces seut to Porto Rico will be kept
there, and others sent to Havana and
other Cuban cities for garrison duty. II
is regarded as quite probable that some
OF the best of Skaters army, after
thorough recuperations in the United
States, may have to be sent again to
Cuba"
Another dispatch from Washington
says: As soon as Spain binds herself to
evacuste Cuba and Porto Rico 10000
men will be mustered out of service as
soon as possible. This will leave an
army of 125, 900.
