In this second assault the fire at the

"One gunboat, which seemed to have
nothing more venturesome to undertake,

to work to riddle the mail steamer Isla de

flames, the Admiral Senior Montijo, who
had shown his flag as long as their was a

The only Spanish ship which had not been

WOMEN AS MEN IN ARMY.
Disguised, Many Have Served Months
Without Discovery.
Chicago Tribune

Military records contain quite number
of Instances in which women, disguised as
men, have entered the army and distin-
guiShed themselves on the battlefield, their
sex not being discovered for many years
afterWard. In 1872 a soldier who had en-
listed under the name Of Paul Daniel at
tracted the attention of a sergeant while
drilling a body of recruits at Portsmouth.
At the conclusion of the parade he sent for
to the recruits sex. On seeing that the
game was up, Daniel confessed that he was
a female and burst into tears when in
formed that she could not longer continue
with the regiment. 1t appeared that her
husband after getting through large for
tune, had fled to Germany where he had
enlisted, and his wife performed the decep-
ton in the hope that, as a soldier, she might
be dispatched for service in that country
and thus discover her unfaithful partner.
most remarkable woman was found to
be serving as an ordinary soldier in a GER
tain German corps toward the end of the
last century Hex sex was revealed owing
to false charge of theft being made
against her, after she had been performing
he military duties in the regiment tor over
six months. Before this she had served in
regiment of the cuirassiers for two years,
in one regiment receiving wound in the
arm, and afterward joining the grenadierS.
Being captured by the enemy, she managed
ment OF the volunteers, and but for the un-
fortunate charge referred to might have
spent her life in military pursuits
In 1769 a woman made determined effort
to enlist in the East India Company forces.
Although she was disguised perfectly as
man, her voice and her manner gave her
away. When the magistrate told her that
her application was hopeless she burst into
tears, saying that this was her only chance
of seeing her husband again. who was then
serving in India.
A woman who boosted that she had
unique career died in 1882 at Poplar. For
the greater part of her life she had served
as an ordi nary seaman on several men-of-
war, where her true sex was not once sus-
pected.
AS opposed to these women who have
fought in the ranks there are no less than
eight women colonies in the German army
to-day, several of whom draw their pay
regularly. They are the Empress OF Ger
many, the Dowager Empress, widow of the
late Frederick Charles Of Prussia, the
burgh, the Duchess Of Connaught and queen

Mcclellan. Farewell to the Army.

An interesting illustration of the self
control and training OF these men is given
by an incident which occurred when Nc

through its ranks in his farewell review of
the army he had created. Probably no
other commander of that splendid force

CONFORMATION.

The wind comes in at my easement
And whispers tale to me-
OF green-grown hills and ripping rills,
And meadows broad and free.
1t tells a pleasing story,
That maketh my heart to sigh
For the spreading trees and the cooling breeze
And the wide and open sky.
1t tells the glens waiting,
All shady and cool and fair:
But know that the fieas and the ants and the
bees
Are also awaiting out there.
So I'll sit at my task in the city
And dream while / work and strive
For so long as I'm here needn't have fear
OF being devoured alive.
