burse Mrs. Courier for all demands. Al
ter recountinz all his trials and sufferings
and heroic deeds he told Mrs. Courier
that he felt so we'll satisfied with the rec-
concentrations he had received of her
that he would at once engage her at
a salary OF 800 a month. He immedi-
ately sat down to write letter to st.
Paul ordering her uniform according to
measurements he had her furnish. OF
course that letter was never mailed, be.

terial required by Red Cross nurses to
wear in camp or on the field.
This offer of big salary aroused Mrs.
Courter's suspicious. which were not de-
creased by a letter OF inquiry from a
friend in Yakima from whom the doctor
had borrowed $35. The doctor by the
way, had also made a loan from Mrs.
Courier, who is satisfied to charge 1t to
the profit and loss account, together with
his board bill and incidentals. Mrs.
Courier finally consulted Mrs. Hsinee,
who set at rest whatever doubts Mrs.
Courier may have lad as to the preten-
sions of DR. Love. The doctor had ar
ranged to meet Mrs. Courier and other
nurses literally engaged, in Portland.
On leaving last Tuesday night he said he
would 20 to Whatcom, thence to St. Paul
for supply of uniforms, and on his way
back would stop at Walla Walla, Spo-
kane and North Yakima, and meet the
nur ,es in Portland, where the private car
of the Red Cross would carry them to
San Francisco, at which point they would
hoard the Red Cross steamer Arrow and
sail for Manila. He said he would have

About two weeks ago a gentleman ap-
peared on the streets OF our little city
dressed in the uniform OF q soldier and
wearing upon his right arm the emble
of the Red Cross society. The stranger
was also bespsngled with the badges and
jewels Of number OF different orders
and societies. He gave his name as "Dr.
Chas. A. Love-" and represented that he
was here for the purpose of securing a
number of trained nurses for duty in
Manila, and would make Yakima his
headquarters until such time as he had
secured the requisite number, when he
would proceed to San Francisco and there
embark for Manila.
He staid in this vicinity for few days,
during which time he tried to ingratiate
himself into the good graces of our peo-
pie, more particularly the church goers

that he was under suspicion, 80 left as

The Reina mercedes Destroyed.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July THE
destruction of the Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes Monday night accounts fol-
the last ship of Admiral Cervera's s once
splendid squadron.
She lies in plain view. her bow resting
on the base Of the beach under FL Nor
ro Part of the hull is above water and
her masts and two stacks are entirely
out of water.
1t is not yet known whether she at
tempted to escape from the harbor OF
whether the Spaniards tried to sink
her near the hull Of the Merrimac and
thus block the entrance to prevent the
Americans from getting in.
Her sinking was most dramatic. Just
after midnight she was seen drifting
slowly out Of the narrow entrance by
one OF the American scouts. In a mo-
ment the fleet was ablaze with signals
and almost instantly an awful hail OF
shells was hammering down upon her.
It is not known whether she returned
the fire, but the shore batteries opened
and one inch shell fell on the Indi.
ana's forward deck. exploding below.
The explosion occurred in the mems
sleeping rooms. but all were at quarters
and none was hurt.
No other American ship was hit dur.
ing the engagement, or incident, which
lasted only a few minutes.

holdeth the nations In the hollow Of his
hand and worketh upon them the mar

SANTIAGO DESPERATE.
City May BE Starved Into Surrender
without Further Fighting.

WASHINGTON, July z. - Santiago
may surrender to the American army
without further engagement.
A dispatch has been received from
Major General Shafter in which IT is
stated that the strongest pressure is be-
ing brought to bear upon General Lii
mares to surrender to the American
forces without further battle.
General Shafter states in this dispatch
that up TO the present time hundreds OF
women and children have left Santiago
and come into his lines for protection
and food.
A large number Of Spanish soldiers,
including several officers, one Of whom
is a colonel who participated in the en-
gagement of July 2. have deserted from
the Spanish army and entered the lines
OF Major General Shafter. The women
and children are being fed and cared for
by Miss Clara Barton and her assist
ants.
According to the refugees who have
made their wayto the lines of the Amer
lean army the conditions in Santiago de
Cuba are something terrible. Food is
extremely scarce, and there is a great
amount of suffering. General Shafter
states in his dispatch that he has been
informed that the entire business popu-
latlon of Santiago, the foreign consuls
and the archbishop of the city have all
united in a strong appeal to General Lii
mares to end the suffering and to sur
render the city without further engage
ment
phe officials on duty at the war de-
partment say that in case General Lii
mares refuses TO surrender the city 1t is
thought that Major General Shafter will
not lombard the city for some days, but
will simply take the precaution to pre-
vent supplies Of every sort being taken
into the city. He will. It is thought,
succeed in his purpose Of capturing the
city without further bloodshed.
Although no complaint has been re-
ceived at the war department as to the
action of the Cubans in allowing Gener-
al Pando to get into Santiago, army Off
GERS are unanimously Of the opinion
from what they have read in press dis
patches that the Cubans were entirely
to blame.
Since Captain Rowan made his trip OF
inspection into Cuba the officials of
Washington have not been depending
in any great measure upon the assist
ance of the insurgents. The action OF
the insurgents in allowing Pando to get
into Santiago simply bears out the
statement credited to Captain Rowan
that the insurgents could not be relied
upon for material aid
