Queen Regent of Spain.

greeted throughout with cries of viva
Espana." A wonderful picture was
presented by the queens en-
courage, consisting of most of
the highest personages in Spain,
in brilliant court, military, naval or
palace uniforms. At the close of her
majesty's speech there was renewed
cheering, after which Premier Sagasta
declared the cortes opened, and the
queen regent and the boy king, accom-
panied by the court, left the building
amid another wild burst of enthusiasm.
The queen regent referred to the
troubles mentioned at the last session
Of the cortes, saying that they had in
creased lowing to the attitude of the
people of the United States
in fomenting trouble" adding
that hitherto Spain had submitted to
these threats and injuries as not being
an expression of the American nation,
but becoming national, they would
oblige me to break relations with the
United States.
Continuing, the queen regent said
that in the supreme crisis the pope
hearkened to by my government. in
the consciousness of right and in strict
performance of international duties. -
Her majesty added: "Spains graft
tude is due to the pope and also to the
great powers, whose action strengthens
my conviction that SPANS cause de-
servers universal sympathy"
Continuing, her majesty said: Pos
sibly, however, the peace efforts may
fail TO control the evil passions ex-
cited against Spain. Lest this mo-
ment arrive, l have summon ed the
cortes to defend our rights, what
ever sacrifice they may entail. Thus
identifying myself with the nation, /
not only fulfill the oath swore in ac-
cepting the regency, but, l follow
the dictates of mothers heart,
trusting to the Spanish people
to gather behind my sons throne and
to defend it until he is old enough to
defend it himself, as well as trusting
to the Spanish people to defend the
honor and the territory of the nation.
The queen regent then referred to
the trouble in the Philippine islands
and continuing said: "Although a
dark and gloomy future is before
us, the difficulties are not be-
yond our power, with our glorious
army, navy and the united nation be-
fore foreign aggression, we trust in
God that we shall overcome without
stain on our honor, the baseless and
unjust attacks made upon us

Opium Owners.

Yesterday afternoon, Port Surveyor
Stratemeyer went to Quarantine sta
tion and arrested two Cinnamon sup
posed to have been connected with the
smuggling into the country of go tins
of opium recently captured.
Kou Chin, the Chinaman suspected
of being the owner of the trunk in
which the opium was found, was told
to collect his belongings. He was thus
caught in the trap and arrested
However, on inquiring after his pa
pers, KOw Chin said they were in the
possession Of Legion Hang Yee, an old
kamaaina here, who has been to China
on a visit. These papers were found
on the friends person and his arrest
also followed. Both men were removed
TO the Police Station.

BenningtOn's Decks Hold a Gay
ASse emblage.


The last number on the program of
the dance given aboard the Benning
ton last evening came all too soon to
the many who were present in res
ponse to the invitations issued by the
officers of that vessel. The deck was
in prime condition for dancing and it
was well patronized throughout the
evening.
Dancing began very shortly after s
o'clock The guests had nearly all ar
rived shortly after that hour AS the
launches approached the ship they
were treated to a brilliant spectacle.
row of Japanese lanterns was eX-
tended entirely around the vessel just
above the bulwarks. Between each
lantern was a red incandescent light.
An arch of red and white lights was
above the head of the gangway. The
decorations on deck were very beauti-
full. Every bit of available deck fix
ture that could be covered with flags
or bunting was gaily festooned.
Stretching high above the bulwarks
and extending to the deck were
draperies of flags to break the force
of the rather high wind that prevailed
during the evening. A canopy was
stretched aloft. This also was of flags
Of various nations. With the many
lights and lamps the effect was very
brilliant
The ships band was stationed for
ward and played excellent music for
the dancing. Every provision was
made for the comfort of the guests.
In the Captains Office there was
lemonade and refreshments. Supper
was served from the officers mess
room. Seats were placed on the upper
deck where it was cool and delightful
and those who did not care to dance
were given an opportunity of over
looking the gay throng below. Among
the many guests were Acting Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cooper, H. l. J. M. s

A Brave Cat Who Saved Her Kittens.

Chief Schatzman of the Allegheny
PENN fire department has the
picture of, in his own words, "the
bravest creature / have ever seen
during all my years of experience in
fire fighting"
The picture is aphotograph OF a
cat, with two tiny kittens lying asleep
at her feet. Apparently there is not
an inch of the cats body that has not
been scorched. Her ears are partly
more wretched-looking animal. The
kittens, too, are fire scorched.
"Many times" says the chief,
gone, the end OF her tail is hairless,
and it would be hard to. imagine q
when / have hesitated to go through
fire and smoke the thought of that old
cat has urged me on. II was about
four years ago when the alarm sounded
one afternoon about o'clock for q
fire away out Perrysville avenue.
Just within the city line an immense
barn belonging to an old man whose
name was Marshall was on fire. By
the time Of our arrival il was burning
rapidly. The nearest fre-plug was
some distance away, and the pressure
was poor at that, so we were unable
TO save either the barn or carriage
house. Our next thought was for the
surrounding buildings, and we turned
our attention TO them. There was
something that happened during the
progress of the fire that startled every
one Of us. Across the street. and
through the large barnyard cat
came running. She dashed in among
the men and horses and in another
minute had darted through hole in
the side OF the burning barn.
Look at that mad cat" cried two
or three, as she dashed into the burn
ing barn, and we had no other thought
but that she was actually crazy and
running into the fire as do horses
sometimes. But in this respect We
were mistaken. In n few minutes
out came the cat. Almost every hair
on her body had been scorched of,
but her head was erect, and she
carried in her month tiny kitten.
After the cat had deposited her. charge
in safe place to the astonishment OF
all who saw her she again ran into the
burning building and brought out an
other kitten nearly burned to death.
All who saw her act cheered the heroic
mother. She and her kittens were
taken to the engine house and their
burns doctored."

owls, from the great horned owl, two
feet high, TO the little bits Of fellows,
and the burrowing owl, which is
about as large as a pigeon, and which
makes its home underground.
The last owl is not very honest in
the way he acquires his home. In
stead OF taking the trouble to dig out
q house for himself, he goes to the
cosy little residence, already made,
Of some quiet little prairie.dog who
is too peaceful and timid in DISPOSE
ton to dispute the matter. There he
selects a snug corner for himself with
the prairie-dog's family in a curious
fellowship.
But the usual home Of owls is in
some old ruined building, or in the
hollow trunks OF trees. There they
sleep all day, and at night start ont ON
n forage in search of something to eat.
The owl does not seem very particular
about his food. Any small animal he
can catch makes meal for him. Rab-
bits, rats and mice, even frogs, toads
and such small fry, he will cot or
carry home TO his nursery full Of
hungry little owlets.
Most owls are OF dark, grave colors,
gray or black. But the owl of Green
land, the cold region, is snowy white.
Naturaists tell us that that is so that
he can travel about the country unseen
to search for his food Owls live over
almost the whole world. The COM
monest kind is that which all country
boys know we'll enough, the barn owl
or screech-owl. This creature makes
q very unpleasant noise, and certainly
merits his name. Farmers dislike him
and take every occasion to kill him.
But in spite Of his unpleasant hootings
lie does them good service in clearing
the house where he lives of rats AID
mice. It takes a great many rats and
mice to supply himself aud all his
family, and Mr.. Barn Owl is an in
dustrious hunter. The mouse is
pretty smart who can outwit him.
