SHE PREFERRED DEATH FIRST
Before She Would Make IA Fright
of Herself with Life Preseryer.

She was very plump woman. There
are people who say they would like to be
just as plump, but the woman herself is al.
ways thinking of ways and means by which
her appearance of diameter and circumfer.
ence may be reduced, and anything that will
apparently increase she regards with dis.
ike that is little short of abhorrence. But
II there is one thing that she dislikes more
than her comfortable plumpness, it is the
water. SO, when one day, on a steamer in
a log, there was a collision, she was even
more unhappy than most people are under
such circumstances, though it was related
atterward that she behaved with great cool.
ness. There was fortunately no more ser.
GUS result from the collision than several
hours delay, but no one was quite sure in
that time what the next minute would bring
forth. The husband of the woman with the
comfortable plumpness, like the good hus-
band that he was, Immediately after the ac.
cldent found life preservers, and in a mat.
ter OF tact way started to assist his wife TO
put one on. But she recolled with such hor.
ror that for moment he was not sure but
the shock had deprived her of her senses.
Put on one of those things" she almost
shrieked, Never! Just look at that fat
woman over there with one of them on.
She looks a perfect sight"
And she didn't put the life preserver on,
and it was her good fortune that she had
no reason to regret it.-N. Y. Times.

Is MRS. REYNOLDS sANEs
Atchison Widow Who Attempted Sui
eide Explains Her Conduct

Atchison, Kan, March 14.-Mrs. E. S.
Reynolds, the Atchison widow who shot
herself Saturday night, after having
been arrested in male attire on sus-
picion of having set fire to number of
barns, is improving, and physicians say
she will recover. No matches were found
in her possession when arrested, and
while the opinion is general that she is
the incendiary, there are many who do
not believe that she had anything to do
with the fires.
Her own statement about the matter
is that she was going to Illinois today
visit, and had gone out to see par
ties from whom she expected to make a
loan. She had gone in male attire, she
said, because she did not wish to attract
attention the streets after night.
She makes a general denial of the
charges of barn burning and says peo-
pie who claim to have recognized her
on the streets in the neighborhood where
the fires occurred are mistaken.
She told the police that she had been
in miserable health for two months and
had been contemplating suicide every
day during that time. She said she was
alone and sick and had nothing to live
for.
Her physicians decided upon an op-

SKELETON A CHAIR.
Remains of Capt Villamil Found on
the Cuban Shore

Santiago de Cuba, March 14-Yesterday
General Leonard Wood, military COVER
nor of the department of Santiago, an
the presence of the adjutant general
of the department, Colonel Beacon and
Captain Gilmore, Captain Scott, cap
tain of the port and other ofhcerS
positively identified the remains of the
Spanish officer discovered a few days
ago among the rocks on the shore about
four miles west of Ell MORO as those OF
Admiral Villamil, who commanded the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyers in the
naval battle which resulted in the
destruction of Admiral Cervera's squad
ron.
Accompanied by the officers named
and by others, General Wood went in a
tug to investigate personally as to the
truth of the report that the body OF a
Spanish officer had been found, tied in
an armchair, at the point designated
The report proved we'll founded. Nearly
opposite the point where the wrecked
torpedo boat destroyer Pluton lies, Cen
eral Wood found an armchair with
ropes around it, a skull, bones on the
ground and the ragged remains OF a
uniform of a captain in the Spanish
navy. 1t was evident that the buzz
yards had stripped the bones of flesh.
1t is understood here-thOugh as to
this there is no certainty-that Admiral
Villamil was taken ashore from the
Pluton in a dying condition in an arm
chair and the superstition is that he
died Immediately on reaching the shore,
the body being left among the rocks
where it remained undiscovered until a
few days ago.
Admiral Villamil, 1t is known, was
wounded in the right arm and left leg.
General Wood put the bones together,
showing the unmistakable marks of
wounds on these places. The indentif1ca-
ton was in every respect complete.
In the pocket of the coat was found
the fleet countersign for June 26, signed
by the late Captain Oviedo Busta-
mente, then Admiral Cervera's chief of
staff.
Colonel Beacon and Captain Gilmore
carried the armchair, the tattered uni
form and the bones, tied together by a
handkerchief to the tug which lay about
four miles off The identification caused
a sensation among the Spaniards here
as Admiral Villamil was one of the best
known strategists in the Spanish navy
and a man held in high esteem by his
cOuntrymen.
General Wood, through the war de-
partment, will notify the secretary of
state of the finding of the remains so
that these can be removed to Spain, If
the Spanish government so desires.
Pending final disposition, they will be
kept at the arsenal here. The tattered
uniform will also be held subject to
Spain'S wishes. The armchair is at
present in charge of Captain Scott.

SPAIN IS PERPLEXED
BY the New Difficulty Which Has
Arisen in the Philippines.

Madrid, March 14-Genera1 Rios, the
Spanish commander in the Philippines,
in an official dispatch, acquainting the
government with the fact that Major
General Otis has stopped the negotia-
lions for the release of the Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos,
says:
Il protest in the name of humanity
and believe the time has arrived to ap-
peal through the consulS to the good
offices of the powers
The dispatch says also:
81 am told that the Filipinos are at
war with the Americans and that the
prisoners can not be ransomed for
money, as that would improve the posi-
ton of the insurgents. In view of my
situation between. the Americans and
the FilipinoS I await the orders of the
government"
A copy of the dispatch was sent i'm
mediately to Senior Silvela, the premier,
who had a long conference with General
PoIavieja, minister of war. Both admit
the gravity of the situation and the dis
patch will be submitted to the cabinet
council.
The government is perplexed at see
ing no clear solution of the difficulty.
At the minstery of war it was said that
no reply would be sent to General Rios,
pending the cabinets decision.
The plan of negotiating with Aguina1-
do direct, without reference to Washing
ton has been abandoned, however, and
Senior Silvela, in his capacity of minister
of foreign affairs, will probab bly, not wait
the decision of the cabinet regarding the
dispatch before communicating with the
American government.

BOOM FOR KANSAS FLOUR.
Santa Fe Line to the Orient Makes a
Japan and China Market

The establishment of steamship line
connecting with the Santa Fe railway
at San Diego and touching at Honolulu,
the ports of China and Japan, and
eventually those of the Philippine is
lands, will prove of great benefit to the
flour manufacturers of Kansas and the
cotton growers of Texas, Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory.
In discussing the matter today Gen
eral Freight Agent F. c. Gay of the
Santa Fee stated that within a year the
establishment of a direct Pacific steam
ship line would make for Kansas flour
almost as much of a market in the Or
lent as it now has in Europe, thereby
nearly doubling the export shipments.
1t will greatly increase the demand for
cotton, and make cotton growing in
Texas, Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory through which the Santa Fe sys-
tenn line runs more profitable than in
the majority of other southern terri
tory.
The steamship line out of San Diego
TO Oriental ports has already been estab-
lished but within the next three months
new vessels, now in preparation, will be
ready and semi-monthly service main
tanned.
