MADRID KEEPS POSTED.
Full Reports of the Movements of L. s.
Warships-Spanish Torpedo Boats
Soon to Start for Cuba.

Madrid, March 22.-The papers here
publish full reports of the movements of
the United States war ships and of the
defensive preparations being made by
the government of the United States.
1t is reported that the Spanish war ship
selected to convey the torpedo FlOtilla
has sailed from Carthagena for the Ca
nary islands. 1t appears that the delay
in the voyage of the torpedo boats IS
due to the fact that the Ariete, one of
tie Spanisll boats sustained some slight
damage while on her way from Cadiz to
the Canaries

GOING TO JAIL IN STYLE.
The Unique Way They Have of sur.
rendering to the Law In
Germany.

Mark Twain has described the stu
dents prison in German universities
and the police constable OF beadle who
addresses his captive thus: When will
il be convenient for you to be locked
np?" Then the student ccnSu!tS his
engagement list and names the day.
But this spirit Of quiet resignation to
the needs of the law seems to be fea-
ture OF the German generally, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. Witness thereto is
scene which lately took place before
the gates Of the Johannesburg prison
near Berlin. A bicycle party rode up
Mt full speed and halted before the iron
sheeted doors. There were three gen.
tlemen and three ladies; they had
ridden up in pairs, and when they dis
mounted they rested their bicycles
against the prison walls. Then they
grouped themselves in picturesque
circle before the gate, and champagne
bottles and glasses appeared in the gen.
tlemen's hands. They drank toast to
their next meeting and sang when
Mortals Part and prison walls inter-
rene. Then, having taken the pledge
of fidelity in the form of kiss (they
would probably have objected to taking
the pledge in any other form), the
bridegrooms separated from the brides.
The former vanished man and machine,
within the prison walls; the ladies
mounted and rode resignedly away.
The criminals had been guilty of riot
ing and reveling on New Years night.
They and their bikes had only few
days to serve.

SPANISH BOY KING.
A Very Small Monarch Who Has n
Great Number Of Very
Big Names.

One of the most interesting monarchs
of Europe is a bright boy only IL years
old. He is King Alfonso Kill. of
Spain. and he has so many names and
titles that one would think il would
make him dizzy to remember them all.
No doubt he spent day or two learning
them, as one of our boys would learn
the capitals Of the western states. His
eight names are Leon, Ferdinand, Ma
rie, Jacques, Isadore, Pascal, Antoine
and Alfonso. Besides being king Of
Spain, he has 81 other titles.
King of CASTLE, of Leon, of Aragon, of
the two Sicilies, of Jerusalem. of Ma
varre, OF Granada, of Toledo, OF Nu!rn-
ella, of Galacia, of Majorca, Of Minorca,
of Seville, of Sardinia, of Cortlova. &C

tinent. He is an archduke Of Austria.
duke of Burgundy, o. Brabant and OF
Milan. count of Hapsburg, of Flanders.
of the Tyrol and Of Barcelona and lord
of Biscay and Molina, and so on.
But in spite Of all his dignity he is
very much a boy. Although there are
always courtiers at his heels to serve
him, he likes to ride and run and swim
lis well as any other boy. In fact. hp
doesn't get half so much fun as he
would like-a boy kings life isn't easy.
Alfonso is n great favorite with the
Spanish people. They call him Eel
piquenito''-"the little one"-and he is
cheered wherever he goes. His mother
is now ruling Spain as queen regent.
but little Alfonso will be crowned king
as soon as he reaches. the age of 10.

Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always UNDER

The womb is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, and for that reason any distress,
disease or Inconvenience manifested in the kid.
neys, back or bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort
The error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided by setting urine aside for q hours;
sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. If you have pain
or duh aching in the back pass water too FIRE
