REBELS SHELL ZAMBOANGA
MADRID, May 26.-The Minister of
War, General Poavieja, has received a
dispatch announcing, the evacuation Of
Zamboanga Island of Mindanao, by the
Spanish garrison. The dispatch furth-
er said that the Spaniards had declined
to assent to the FIlipinOs' demands that
the arms and munitions of war should
be surrendered with the city, and fight
ing ensueG, the Spaniards suffering some
loss
The dispatch adds that the natives
continue bitterly opposed to the idea Of
American annexation, and that the con-
quest of Mindanao will prove to be
hard task
Following is the full text Of the dis
patch which was sent by General Rios,
Spain's military representative in the
Philippines, from Manila:
Arrived here on board the Leon
Nil. The occupation of the island Of
Jolo by the Americans was effected
without special incident. The Ameri-
can warshios saluted our flag With
twenty-one guns when it was lowered
The Filipino batteries at Zamboanga,
Island of Mindanao, continued 10 shell
the town and the port, causing losses III
cur garrison, but finally, after lively
attack by the Spaniards, the insurgents
fled. They suffered numerous ,osses
Our losses were two officers and three
soldiers killed and nineteen soldiers
wounded
One company of our troops attacked
battery which the enemy then aban-
doned and two other batteries were dis
mounted by our artillery. After this
reverse the insurgents declared their
adhension to Spain and suspended hos
tilities
The evacuation of Zamboanga was
accomplished in the most orderly man
ner. In spite of a violent storm, which
caused the loss of several boats and
the stranding of the steamer Porto Rico
on the enemy's coast, everyone was
safely embarked.
Two American warships were placed
at my disposal by the Admiral but we
did not need them. The Spanish Tag
was saluted by the guns of the Amer
ican ships.
If the Minister for War does not
order to the contrary. 1 shah sail for
Spain on board the p. de Satrustegui''

Rosa BOnheur.

The earlier days of Rosa Bonheur
were spent not in depicting animal life,
but in copying the old masters. Her
first efforts were made in order to help
in the household expenses. A picture
of goat was the first animal study she
ever attempted, and she was so pleased
with this effort that she decided to de-
vote all her time to animal painting.
Models being too expensive for the slen-
der purse of the young artist she would
tramp miles to a farm, carrying Il
meager lunch in her pocket, to sketch
an animal. When only 10 years old she
sent her first picture to an art exhibit
