A BITTER REVELATION.

BITTER
The old year died amid the festivities
incident to the season, and the new year
was already a week old; but still Mar
garet had not regained her old-time
spirits.
Brian was at first anxious and then
annoyed. 1t was too bad OF Margaret
to look so pale and thin, when he liked
to see her strong and well. Thus he ar

mood for retaliation.

She bent her head, pretending to ax-

1t immediately, to say rather slowly:
tell me what you wish most. and you
shall have It,.
Brian gave questioning glance at
her half-averted face. He hesitated,
but only for q second. The next he had
caught her in his arms, and holding her
against his beating heart he pressed
long, passionate kiss upon her passive
lips.
She made not the slightest resistance,
though her face had grown very white.
He laid his own Interpretation upon
this sign. You are angry" he said,
allowing her to go at last.
No, no, not angry; that was your
Christmas gift.
She spoke with an effort and once
moro fell to admiring her pin. Brian
watched her with longing she felt
rather than saw. To avoid his eyes she
drew her chair closer to the fire and
buried her head In It's cushioned back.
1T lie odd, remarked Brian, after an
awkward pause. Il think the world
would smile to know that husband is
only permitted to kiss his wife on
Christmas day"
Some other time we will talk Of that,
Brian. Not now. 1t will only stir up
old discords."

cord between US, was the answer given
with sigh. Heaven knows should

some features of the government of
Cuba. It is probable that the military
government will, to a certain extent, be
replaced by civil government. The
head of the government must. of course,
remain military, but the plan in con-
temptation is to have civil officers in
place of military men in the cabinet
and subordinate positions.
It Is believed that experts in different
lines, such as finance and revenue and
the management of the general business
of theisIand and of the different munich
palitles will get along more smoothly
than the army officers.
Itis not known whether the contem
plated change has reached point
further than discussion in the war de-
partment and with the president, but it's
advantages have been pointed out and
the authority of government to establish
such a civil government under control of
the military government has been deter
mined.

ARRIVAL OF
THE ST. PAUL
Mil1er's Artillery Found in Action and
His Troops Advancing Into the
Jungle to Prevent an Attack on
the Town.

New YORK, March 10.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Baacolood, island of
Negros, under date of March 1, says:
After pleasant voyage, the st. Paul,
carrying the deputatiun from Negros,
Colonel James F. Smith, the first Amer
ican governor, and the first battalion of
the California regiment, Major Shines
commanding, arrived at Iloilo on March
3. AS the vessel entered the harbor at
midday it found the artillery in action
and General Miller's command advanc-
ing into the cocoanut plantations at the
right of the line.
General Miller, fearing an organized
aud strong attack upon the town, had
requested assistance from the Boston in
landing. Captain White was unable to
accede to this request owing to the fact
that portion of the crew was at Cebu.
It was at first expected that the Cali
fornians would land and assist General
Miller's forces, but on landing the Her
aid correspondent met General Miller
returning from the front and learned
that it was only a false alarm.
Iloilo was terribly wrecked by the IN
surgent incendiaries and presents a
scene of havoc and desolation. Magnif-
cent residences and great warehouses
were totally wrecked.
General Miller and his staff are con-
fdent they can hold the town. The in.
surgent strength is not definitely known,
but it is believed that there are 2OOC
men armed with firearms and 1000 arm
ed with bolas. They follow similar tao
tics to those at Manila, dropping irri-
tating shots into the American lines
throughout the night, but never appear.
ing in sufficient strength to justify q
resolute forward movement. Few casu-
alties are reported.
The St. Paul proceeded to Baacolood
and arrived at noon today. The Ameri.
cans found native guard of honor
drawn up on the beach. The inhabi-
tants were. amicably disposed. The
American flag was already flying from
an unfinished convent.

There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-

unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal

Kipling Wants Josephine.

New YoRK. March 10.-The Tribune
says: For two days Mr.. Kipling has
made repeated inquiries for his children.
He asks the nurse and DIR. Durham
when he may see them, and is particu-
larly anxious to see Josephine, the little
one who died. His nurse finds it very
difficult to invent some new excuse to
gain time. The father seems to have
come inkling that something is wrong,
and his continually repeated requests for
Josephine are most pathetic OF course
the news will not be told him until he
has recovered, if it is possible to keep
him in ignorance OF his great loss.

OF
ARMED COLLISION
Americans Threaten to Expel by Force
Canadians Who are EncrOaching
on American Territory-An Appeal
to London.

CHICAGO. March 10.-A special to
the Times Herald from Washington
says: There is grave danger of an
armed collision between the American
and Canadian miners in the Porcupine
creek region, over the Alaskan boundary
question.
Despite the fact that the location of
the boundary has been determined be-
yond any reasonable doubt, the Cana
dians have encroached six miles or more
on the American eide, where they claim
the right to stake claims and search for
gold and deny the same right to the
Americans.
The Americans have threatened to ex-
pei the Canadians by force, and it is
feared that conflict may be brought on.
The situation is so serious that upon
information contained in letter from
Governor Brady, of Alaska, to the sec
Iretary of the interior, the secretary of
state has called the attention of the
British government to the actions of
the Canadians and has asked to- have
them recalled to their own territory.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. During the
epidemic of La Grippe few years ago
when go many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlajn's Cough Remedy was used.
1t counteracts any tendency of cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the
world for bad COLDS and La Grippe.
