PEN PICTURE OF SAGASTA
Career of the Man Who Has Made
Spanish History.
From the London Sun.

From the London sun.
Sagasta, the present Spanish prime
minister, is a stifIly built, frog-faced
man, with a strong jaw, a wide, insin-
cere smile and black, tilmy eyes, as of
an Arab or a gypsy He has the glib
word, the expansive manner and the
eXuberant gesture of the south. There
is one charge which his most embt-
tered enemy dare not bring against
him-that of cowardice. His con-
victions may be centered upon him
self but most emphatically he has
the courage of them. over and above
his vast astuteness of thought he is
man of action. If for many years
he has proved himself as supple as a
serpent, his earlier history showed
him to be brave as lion. He fought
! against ODonnell in the streets of
Madrid in 1856 at the head of a. reSi-
ment of militia.
Before that, as a lad of IS, when
student at the College of Engineers
at Logrono, his native place, he heS-
tated not to Withstand the behestS of
the dreaded NervaeZ. Whenever the
time came for fighting he was ready
to take his share, yet, without i'm
| peaching that undeniable physical
pluck of which he has given nany
| proofs, it is not surprising to md
| that he made it his first duty as d
soldier to prevent himself from being
| unnecessarily killed. Hence, in the
summer of 1866, while many of his col
! leagues stuck to their barricades in
the streets of Madrid and were mas
sacred, Sagasta underwent the much
more convenient fate of the garrote-
| in his absence.
Thenceforward, for two years in
| London, Paris and Ostend We're the
centers OF his activity and if walls
| could speak, a certain restaurant of
| Bishopsgate street could tell some
strange stories. He engineered the
revolution of 1866 and drove Isabella
II from the throne, and this time for
tune favored him. When Topete and
the fleet had been won over and most
of the army was squared, the signal
was given, Sagasta and Gorilla (as
pure a patriot as ever lived, but too
honest and consistent to be a success

HER POINT OF VIEW.

1t is such a pity that young girls
with rough, eXcoriated skin are allow
ed to continue in existence under such
disadvantageous circumstances when
a cure can be easily effected. There
is nothing more desirable to woman
from worldly point of view, than a
fine complexion. Regularity of feature
beauty of teeth, eyes and hair are not
to be considered in comparison with
n smooth, wholesome skin. unmarried
by irruptioEs. There are those who
have eaten enough sulphur to render
them proof against the fumes of the
abode of the lost, and who have swal-
lowed sufficient blood medicines to sup
ply a cut-rate store, and yet whose
cOmpleNions are almost repulsiNe.
They have religiously followed medical
advice with regard to diet and have
sacrificed innumerable boxes of bon
bons to the omniVerous appetite of
younger brothers and sisters, with the
same result that would probably at
tend leopard bent on similar object.
The fact is that some compieXions
refuse to yield to anything short Of a
scientific course Of applications, used
by experienced hands. There are
young women and several older ones
in this city whose present appearance
must greatly astonish their friends
who until recently have been accus-
toned to see them with faces horribly
disfigured by irruptions. These results
have been obtained in perfectly nat
ural manner by antiseptic treatment
given under direction of Young Wo-
man who has certainly accomplished
marvellous success with most obstinate
cases. l cannot refrain from mention
ing this possibility for the benefit of
many who from a series of disappoint-
ing experiments regard cure of facial
eczema as hopeless. The satisfaction
of appearing unveiled after years OF
modification occasoned by a rough
and unlovely visage is being enjoyed
by the happy ones mentioned above,
in a way possibly only to be compre-
hended by a fair young sultana sud-
denly emancipated from the harcm and
the swathirg Moslem veil.

fammation. He has eaten an ice and
taken nourishment. What is serious is
his extreme weakness
In the face of conflicting statements
and the secrecy maintained at Freid-
richsruhe, accurate accounts of Prince
Bismarcl1's condition are impossible. 1t
is the custom Of DR.. SchWeninger to de-
ny all alarmist reports, first because his
patient is still in the habit of reading
newspapers when he is well enough, and
second because he contends that Prince
Bismarck has the same right of privacy
in such matters as an ordinary private
citizen.
From the best available sources 1t
may be gathered that Bismarck's con-
dition is one of diminishing strength
and power to fight against chronic dis
ease rather than of sudden collapse or
change, and that he may live for some
time unless sudden weakness of the
heart sets in.
The Inflammation of the vein of the
leg is causing increasing trouble. Some
reports say that an open, painful sore
in one leg prevents his sleeping and
has caused general weakness.
DR.. Schweninger, in a published inter-
view denies all these alarn1ist reports.
He complains of the great trouble caus-
ed to himself and the whole Bismarck
household by telegraphic and other in
ouirieS from all parts of the world, say
ing that he wants his time for his pa
tient and can not be expected to an

gers, all Jamaicans, endeavored to
seize the life boats. The third mate,
Percy Sanders, was forced to draw his
revolver to prevent the steerage from
from leaving the burning steamer in
the three life boats which could easily
have accommodated the other As pas
sengers and members of the crew. The
steerage passengers were, however,
forced out of the boats by Capt. Walker
and his men, and when discipline was
restored preparations were first made
for the saving of the women and chill
dren of the vessel. The life boats
and the ships officers stood by the rope
ladders. Thus a panic was averted
and the safety of the 56 persons on
board the Ardandhu assured.
The heat was so intense and the
smoke was so heavy that it was for a
main on the upper deck. They were all
ordered forward and the women and
children were first put into the life
boats, each of which had a full supply
of food and water on board and were
supplied with cOmpasses and signal
rockets. It was nearly midnight when
Capt. Walker considered that he had

women and children were taken back
on the steamer and the life boats were
hoisted to the davits, but were not ia
ken on board. The officers from that
time on kept watch of the life boats to
prevent the eleven Jamaicans, who ap-
peared to be terror stricken, from de-
serting the burning steamship in them
Most of the Steerage passengers, how
ever, slowed themselves on the small
boat astern and remained there until
the Ardandhu reached the narroWs.

Clear and cool weather prevails to-

by all the regiments except those pre-
pairing to move.
Gen. BOynton, chairman of the Chick
amauga Chattanooga Park commission
is having an analysis prepared of the
water used from all sources at Camp
Thomas. This is being done in order
that the troops may know just what
sort of water they are drinking. Gen.
BOyntOn has no doubt as to the pure
quality of the water from the wells,
the creeks and springs and he believes
the analysis will show as has been
three analyses, that all water from
whatever source at Camp Thomas is
chemically and microscOpically pure.

FAST AT ST. MICHAEL.
Ship Loads of Gold Seekers That
Can't Get Away.

Seattle, Wn.. July 2S.-Purser Twiggs
of the steamer Humboldt, which arrived
here from St. Michael reports that
serious condition of affairs prevails
there. Several steamers, which have
no river steamer connections, cannot
land their passengers. They have been
feeding them several weeks and proVis-
ions are getting scarce.
The most unfortunate lot of passen-
gers are those that went from Seattle
on the steamer Progresso. The COM
pany sending her out has since become
insOlvent. The passengers number
about 160 and it is probable that they
will nearly all be returned here.
Captain of the Dirego says he would
sail for San Francisco with his passen-
gers if he had provisions enough to
make the trip. The steamer National
City, with one hundred passengers, is
in a similar condition. The passengers
of these steamers are getting very res
tive and threaten all sorts Of things.
