81 have been noticing curious little
circumstance at my store" said Canal
street business man the other day.
"There is. a very fine plate glass in the
side casing of my show window, and
right behind it is a handsome mirror.
One day not long ago 1 observed what
seemed to be lot Of white dust on the
window ledge and told the porter to wipe
it off. Next day the ledge was as dusty
as ever, and after having it cleaned half
dozen successive times discovered the
cause of the trouble. The mirror was
certain to catch tho eye Of every woman
who passed, and every little while one
would step up close and make some mys'
ferrous motions over her face. They al
ways did 1t when nobody was in sight
and every time the operation was per
formed the accumulation of white dusi
increased. 1t was a blend of several va

ter . most tempestuous voyage across tns
Pacific the transport Sikh arrived here
today, three days overdue. The trip
from Manila was one of the stormiest yet
encountered by the sikh and she came
into port badly battered BY the waves and
wind. On December sixth the boat was
struck by storm that continued to rage
for many days. The gale tore the funnel
looss, broke the cables that support the
after mast and the fors,asss was half
torn from its stays. As last resort the
Sikh WAS headed into the wind for sAfety.
For forty four hours the ship lay helpless
with the engines going st half speed
without gaining mile. At last the fun
mel was made fast during the gale. being
secured by guy ropes. The masts we're
made fast In the same manner and the
vessel made Its way 20 port.
BY the transport Rio Janeiro were re-
csived the first dst ails Of the recent Fill
pino attack ON the ICavits navy yard.
The insurgents planned an attack on
Fort Rice, and under cover Of this, which
they thought would draw all the Amerl-
can troops to that point they proposed to
steal over from Cavits vijeo in fleet Of
boats and capture the navy yard and ar
senai. Everything proceeded a. planned
and the rebels In small boats were only a
little way from the shore when they en-
countsred danger from an unexpected
quarter.
The searchlisht of the aunboa. Petrol
beamed upon thqm. Then we'll aimed
shots from the Petrol caused the rebels to
turn about in hot haste and the Filipinos
padded desperately to reach shore. One
six pound shell from the Petrol struck an
insurgent boat amidships, knocked 1t to
splinters and killed every rebel on beard.
his others were beached near the mouth
Of creek md Fiiipinos scattered inland.
From trustworthy sources 1t was le Tnsd
that the two companies Of Montana
volunteers who came hack from Manila
on the Transports Zsalandia brought back
with them SO, oC0 In gold and Mexican
silver. This treasure was first discovered
By two men at Caloooon. They were the
first to enter the Filipino town which
was very rioh; they entered a mansion
but found the place deserted. In the
garden they saw traces OF earth having
been recently disturbed. Digging down
they discovered chest which contained
thousands of dollars In gold coin. The
men who found the gold treasure took all
they could carry. Then they uncovered
large chest full of Mexican dollars.

Root made tbe follow Ing statement today
In regard 10 the death Of General Law
ton:
cit Is seldom that loss oan 20 truly
be called irTsparabls as In the case OF
General Lawton g death, because he not
only possessed the highest soldisrly quail
Ties. but the process Of selection BY actual
sxperienos had brought about universal
recognition of these qualities while he
was In the full vigor of life. so that the
opportunity for great usefulness and the
highest commands lay before him. He
had not merely the quality Of courage.
but the quality of command which In
spired his troops with his indomitable
will and disregard Of danger. When the
story OF his march through central and
northern Luzon In the autumn Of 1850
comes 10 be written, 1 believe that the
browning achievement Of his life Of
strenuous and noble services will be
deemed to add lustre to American arms
and secure for him an enduring place rs
