Drilled With Cavalry.

Chicago, May 10.-A looking
woman, dressed as man, has been
drilling with Logan's cavalry volun-
teers. and has been duly enlisted as
a private. She asked permission of
Capt. Donigan to join his command.
She was accepted by him, although he
suspected her, femininity. She drilled
once with the troops at Tattersalls,
and last Friday night drilled with them
in the adjacent lot.
The men of the company suspected
the boy" of being woman and
looked at her very suspiciously The
story was quickly known to all the
men, and every eye in the troop was
turned upon the pretty recruit. Moth
ing was said to her at the time, how
ever, and she left after the drill
alone. Everybody was on hand yes
terday for drill, expecting to see their
fair comrade. but she failed to appear.
She enlisted under the name CT G..
Frank White, but her real name is I'M
known.

SPANISH TREACHERY

at Manila-Spanish Official
Attempt to Lead Dewey's Squadron
Into Mined Channel.
London, May 10.-A special dis
patch from Shanghai says that it is
reported there that Admiral Mon
tejo, the commander of the Spanish
fleet, who escaped from Cavite by
running along the shore to Manila
with his two sons, was killed by
the populace Of the latter place. 1t
is added that the hospital at San
Rogue, filled with Spanish soldiers,
was set on fire by a shell from the
Boston and that Sisters Of Charity
were killed while removing the
wounded.

surgents butchering even the Span
ish women and children.
Hong Kong, May 10-10 a. m.
Greenwich time)-A fresh example
of Spanish treachery seems to have
come to light. 1t is said here that
the priests and Sisters of Charity
sion bearing crosses, petitioned
Rear Admiral Dewey not to massa-
ere the sick and wounded, which
naturally he did not do. The Span
ish authorities, it is asserted, there
upon thanked the Americans for
their humanity and then repaid
them by informing them of mar
row channel which, they said, was
not mined, while the broad chan
mel, they explained, was fully min
ed. An investigation upon the part
of the Americans, however reveal
ed the contrary to be the case and
the mines were blown up by the
sailors of the American fleet.
Rear Admiral Dewey, it is said
here, finds the insurgents growing
dangerous. 1t is added that he can
not control them, nor can he en-
able the Spaniards to do so.

THE SELFISH BRAIN.
How 1t Robs the Stomach and What Fol-
lows the Robbery

How 1t Robs the Stomach and What Fol-
lows the Robbery.
According to De Quincey the supreme
prize in life is the union of fine intellect
and a healthy stomach. Why this COM
bination of blessings is 50 rare is easy
to see. The brain is selfish and the more
active it is the more blood it takes from
the stomach. That the stomach may
need the blood for the digestion of a
tough, intractible dinner, makes no diff
ference to the brain. Hence so many
clever men are more or less dyspeptic,
and some of them say, with Alexander
Pope, my life is long disease
The whole bodily machinery is thrown
out of kilter by disordered stomach.
Sedentary habits, nervous stress and
strain and careless living make matters
worse. Doctors agree on some things,
popular proverb to the contrary, notWith-
standing. They agree that the best
medication for a feeble stomach is
stimulant free from any of the thousand
make so many liquors dangerous.
The king Of medicinal stimulants is
Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey, which you
can obtain from grocers and druggists.
1t is Immediately beneficial in cases of
impaired digestion, for it promotes the
secretion of gastric juice and expands
the network of tiny blood vessels in the
stomach SO that the rich blood fills them.
You can get rid of that stutfy, heavy
after-dinner feeling if you use Duffys
Pure Malt Whiskey.

CATHOLIC LOYALTY.
The Arehbishops Have Addressed a
Letter 10 the Clergy and Laity in
the United States.

Washington, May 10.-The arch
bishops of the Catholic Church in the
United States have agreed upon a let
ter, addressed to the clergy and laity
of the country. The letter bears on the
war with Spain, and will be read in all
the churches on Sunday. 1t is Endorsed
by Mgr. Martineli, the apostolic dele
gate, and is as follows:
ITO the Clergy and Laity of the Cath
Ollie Church of the United States,
Greeting:
THE events that have succeeded the
blowing up of the battleship Maine and
the sacrifice of 266 innocent victims, the
patriotic seamen of the United States,
have eliminated in war with Spain and
Dur own beloved country.
Whatever may have been the indi-
vidual opinions of Americans prior to
the declaration of war, there can now
be no two opinions as to the duty of
every loyal American citizen. A resort
to arms was determined upon by the
chief executive of the nation, with the
advice of both houses of Congress, and
after consultation with his cabinet Off
GERS, but not until after every effort had
been exhausted to bring about an hon
orable and peaceful solution of our diff
ficulties with Spain. The patient calm
ness. the dignified forebearance, the
subdued sentiments of President Nc
Kinley during the trying time that in
tervened between the destruction of the
Maine and the declaration are beyond
all praise, and should command the adj
miration of every true American. We,
the members of the Catholic Church.
are true Americans, and as such are
loyal to our country and to our flag,
and obedient TO the highest DEGREES and
the supreme authority of the nation.
We are not now engaged in war
of section against section, or State
against State. but we are united as one
man against a foreign enemy and a
common foe. If, as we are taught by
our holy church, love of country is next
to love of God. duty imposed on us
by all laws. human and divine. then It
is our duty to labor and to pray for the
temporal and spiritual we'll being of the
brave soldiers who are battling for orr
beloved country. Let us faithfully beg
the god Of battles to crown their arms
on land and sea with victory and tri-
umph and to stay unnecessary effusion
of blood. and speedily to restore peace
to our beloved country and people.
TO this end We direct that on and
after the receipt of this circular and
until the close OF this war every priest
shall, in his daily mass, pray for the
restoration of peace by the glorious VIC
tory for our flag. We also direct that
prayers for the brave soldiers and sail
ors that fall in battle be said every dav
after mass, These prayers shall be
said aloud with the people, and shall
be one Our Father and one Hail Mary
and the De Profundis.
We pray that God may bless andpre-
serve our country in this great crisis
and speedily bring victory, honor and
peace to all our people"

SlPAIN'S ROYAL PALACE.
international Magazine.

international Magazine.
The royal palace at Madrid is one of
the most beautiful structures in the
world, being built by an Italian archi-
tect in the early part of the last cen
fury, at a cost of $5,000,C COO, and was
intended to be a rival to the French
palace at Versailles. The material is
white marble and is 47O feet each way
with a court 240 feet square, rooted
with glass. Few places are more tire
some to visit than palaces, with their
long rows of gorgeously decorated
chambers, gilt furniture, and everlast-
ing mirrors, but the Casa Real at Mad
rid is very interesting and contains a
remarkable library of 100000 volumes,
including priceless papers, pictures,
bronzes, and marble
The stairway of SPANS royal palace
is a noble structure of black and white
marble, and is guarded by four statues
of Roman emperors who were natives
of Spain-Trajan, Adrian, Honorius
and Theodosius. On the first floor are
thirty large saloons, the chapel and
the library; on the second floor the
royal family and the members of the
court reside. The palace is said to
contain over TOO French clocks which
were collected by Ferdinand VII, no
two OF them being alike.
The throne room of Spain is a mag
nificent apartment of crimson and gold,
with colossal mirrors and a chandelier
of rock crystal that is considered the
finest example of the kind in the world.
Under the gorgeous canopy are two
large chairs handsomely carved and
gilded and upholstered in crimson bro
cade. These are the thrones of Spain,
where the boy king and Queen Regent
sit on occasions of ceremony. Some
times the daughters stand beside their
mother when it is proper for all the
royal family to receive the court.

REPORT NOT CONFIRMED.
Spanish Strategy Not Understood in Lon
don-A Hopeless Struggle.

LONDON, May u-There is no con-
firnation of the report that the Spanish
feet from the Cape Verde Islands has re-
turned to Cadiz, but it is generally re-
garded as the most likely movement to
be made and as an Indication that Spain
has, decided to let her West Indian pos
sessions go.
The question is generally asked: What
possible use has Spain for continuing a
hopeless struggle, as it is considered next
to impossible that she has any alternative
plan, or that the retreat of the squadron
hides some strategic design
