Aguinaldo Declares Dictatorship

4 at Nipe.

Washington, July 23.-There were
several events of interest if not of i'm
portance at the war and navy depart
ments Friday. Gen. Anderson at Ca
wife sent message saying that Aguin-
aldo had declared a dictatorship and
martial law over the Philippines, some
thing that gave the cabinet food for
consideration at their regular meet
ing. There was no disposition to force
any issue with the insurgsnt chief at
this time, but it is pretty well under
stood that he will not be allowed to
commit the United States government
in the future treatment of the Philip
pines question.
Don't Want Watson.
It would not be surprising if it
should develop that strong European
influences are being brought to bear
to dissuade the navy department from
dispatching Watson's fleet to Europe.
But SO far they appear to have been
Intellectual for it is officially stated
that the departure of the squadron is
only delayed, not abandoned.
In an authoritative statement on
war plans 1t is stated that Commodore
Watson's mission is to find and destroy
Camara's feet and that he is not to
lombard Spanish cities or seize the Ca
naries.
May BE Costly Delay.
Although Gen. Miles reported by
cable from Mole st. Nicholas, Hayti,
that he was moving along well' with
the first detachment of the military
expedition against Puerto Rico, the
body of his dispatch preceding this
statement gave rise at first to the ap-
prehension that, like Gen. Shafter at
Santiago, Gen. Miles was threatened
with a costly delay in landing his ex-
petition on Puerto Rican soil owing
to the absence of lighters and tugs.
1t was said at the war department
later ON that some of these lighters
were already on their way from New
Orleans and New York and that no
sensible delay would arise on that
score. '.' ....t

at his wife: he heard her name whis-
pered; he saw admiring glances follow
her; he felt that amongst fair pink
and-white English girls she looked like
some southern queen. But the knowl-
edge OF all this did not In the least
warm his heart to her. And she? She
had ceased to feel any great interest
IN his opinion. The time had been
when she would perhaps have stood
before him. and have said. Il hope you
are pleased with me, Lord Caraven."
She would not now: she was proudly.

CHATTER XV.-(Continued)
Halby House was. as rumor said. one
of the most magnificent mansions In
London. II had been closed for some
years. the earl's affairs not permitting
his residence there. Now circum-
stances were different Arley Ran
some-to whom this spring was to
bring the keen enjoyment OF his am
bition--had undertaken to have 1t re-
decorated and refurnished. Halby
House was talked about for its spien-
dor and magnificence; even before the
earl and countess came to town CROWDS
of people went to see II. 1t was con-
sidered triumph OF art. The earl
had not asked his younS wife II she
would go up to town; he had taken
her consent for granted. He knew
that she must be presented-that II he
failed in that duty Arley Ransome
would be indignant; and he was fairly
caught in the tolls. He was not par
ticularly ashamed OF his wife: he was
not proud OF her: but he had ceased to
feel annoyed by the reflection that he
had married a money-lenders daugh-
ter. The Duchess OF Morley was to
present her. and, once under the
shadow OF her grace's protection. a
triumph was sure to follow.
A proud day for Arley Ransome was
that OF his daughters presentation at
court. He drove to Halby House to see
her before she went, and to him MS
daughter looked like miracle OF
beauty. Full dress enhanced her love-
liness wonderfully; her neck. arms and
shoulders were beautifully nodded, and
they were shown to the greatest ad-
vantage, as was the perfectly rounded
figure. The court dress was one Of un-
usual magnificence-a silver Drocade
elaborately trimmed with rich lace.
She wore a parure of diamonds: the
waving plumes that lend so gr6tesque
an effect to some faces gave her an air
of majesty. The lovely Spanish face
and dark eyes were a study in them
selves.
She was alone with her maids in her
dressing-room when Arley Ransome
came. He sent up little penciled
note. saying:

There was no elation In her heart as
she raised her magnificent train in her
hand and threw 1t over her arm. She
went downstairs, grave. collected. al

tered. Then he made a low bow. my

NOT AFRAID OF A Rat.
Near-sightcd Galveston Woman Unaware
of Her Own Courage.

Near-Sighted Galveston Woman Unaware
of Her Own Courage.
An amusing incident, somewhat on
the order OF the story OF the ignorant
man who strikes match in powder
magazine, is told by leading society
woman of Galveston, Texas. The lady
was brave, although she was not aware
of her own courage. 1t seems that
she, In company with several other
ladies', called on a mutual friend who
has a bright little 6-year-old. whom
she wished to show OF before her visit
ors. The precocious lad has leaning
toward elocution, and his fond NAM
ma lost no time in apprising her callers
of his powers in that direction. They.
of course, asked to hear some Of his
work and he began reciting that char
acteristic sketch of James Whitcomb
Riley's entitled, Seem Things" Just
as the boy reached the lines reading,
'T'm not afeered OF rats an mice an
things at girls is skeered Of" an enor-
nous rat darted across the room
toward convenient hole. The ladies,
except the one about whom this story
Is told, screamed. jumped on chairs
and tables. gathered their skirts around
them and made every effort to con-
vince everybody interested that they
had no desire to form the acquaint-
ance OF the rodent. The other lady
who. by the way, is nearsighted, sat
quietly in her rocker with a smile OF
appreciation on her face. When the ex-
element had subsidized she calmly re-
marked that it Vas very good" much
to the mystifcation OF her companions.
1t developed that she thought that the
email boy had thrown a toy rat on
the floor and that his mother ana she
other callers were assisting to make
the performance realistic. Neverthe-
less, she is regarded as quite heroine
by her friends. among whom the story.
OF course. has been circulated.
