THE AMERICAN DEAD.
Full List of Those Who Died in Cuba
and Porto Rico Prepared.

Full List of Those Who Died in Cuba
and Porto Rico Prepared.
The War Department, after long
and careful work, has made up what
it believes to be q full and complete
list of the doad of the Cuban and
Porto Rican campaigns who are still
inferred in Cuba. An appropriation
has been made to have these bodies
removed to the United States, and the
Roumanian, with large force of
undertakers, has started for Porto
Rico to begin this work. The War
Department so far has received appli-
cations from friends and relatives of
about 800 dead, who wish to take
charge personally of the bodies for
private burial. The Quartermaster-
generals office would like to receive
the names and addresses of any other
persons who are authorized to take
charge of bodies on their arrival in the
United States.

sIoJlx lNsblolssR WOMAN.
An Astrsss said to Possess Some vAlnasls
Indian Secrets.

Indian Secrets
Henrietta Crossman, the actress, Is
a full-fledged medicine woman Of the
Sioux tribe OF Indians. among whom
she is held In high esteem. II Is not
to be inferred from this that Miss
Crossman has Indian blood in her veins.
The story of how she obtained the Sc
crets she is alleged to possess illustrates
the mortal hatred which one tribe OF
Indians may feel toward another, while
at the same time showing the graft
tude and appreciation OF kindness thst
sometimes crop out from beneath the
calm and reserve Of the redskin. When
Miss Crossman was baby her father,
Major Crossman, a well-known Indian
fighter Of the regular army. was sta
toned in Minnesota. At that time the
Chippewas were almost continually
turbulent During a brief period OF
peace one of the Chippewa braves took
to wife Sioux maiden. This was a
serious breach OF Chippewa etiquette
and tho new squaw had to face the
bitter jealousy and hatred OF several
other wives. While peace lasted she
was comparatively safe, but as soon as
hostilities broke out again and her hus-
band was called away to hight her life
was made miserable. About this time
Mrs. Crossman was deeply concerned
about her baby girl, who was sunering
from pneumonia and lay lowering be-
tween life and death. One evening the
mother was sitting beside the cot OF her
suffering little one when q young
squaw dashed into the house ana
sought protection. 1t was the Sioux
girl who had been driven from her hus-
bands tepee by the other wives. One
Of them had attempted to stab her.
but the young Sioux seized the knife
and thus saved her life, at the cost OF
a terribly wounded hand. Mrs. Cross
man gave the poor creature such aid
as was possible while the wounded
sQuaw told her story. Then the dusky
visitor asked to look at the sick BABY
and on learning the cause OF sickness
declared her ability to relieve the little
one, adding that her father was the
great medicine man of the Sioux, and
that from him she had learned many
secrets. Mrs. Crossman, feeling that
the Indian girl would at least not harm
the child, gave permission for an ex-
pertinent to be made. The squaw at
once departed and in an hour returned
with some herbs which she combined
into a medicine which actually seemed
to afford the child speedy relief. A
few days later the baby was as well as
ever. Then the Sioux girl disappeared
and succeeded in reaching her own
people. When Miss Crossman was old
enough she told the story. In after
years she met the Sioux woman and at
the latter's request was formally
chosen a medicine woman. A number
Of Indian secrets were conf1ded to her,
and now her fame is great among the
Sioux. Thus it happens that whenever.
with her company, she chances to be
playing near an Indian settlement she
is sure to be overwhelmed with dusky
visitors, bringing all sorts Of offerings.
She has a smattering of the Sioux
language, and it seems strange to see
the big chiefs and warriors bow down
to this dainty little woman.

Arab Women.

Many an Arab lady never leaves her
house from the time she is married un.
til she is carried out to be buried. A
woman of the middle class is allowed
more liberty, and occasionally goes out
for walks, accompanied, as rule, by a
servant The poor creature is envel-
oped in masses of white drapery, which
makes her look like walking bundle,
and in front of her face she arranges
a large, black scarf, embroidered with
blue, red and white flowers. 1t falls
low in front, and, even by hold
ing up the ends, she cannot
see more than foot or two of
the road before. often wonder that
she does not get run over when she
goes out alone, for I am sure she
needs dog to guide her, quite as
much as any blind man. Servants
and other women of the lower classes
wear pieces of black crepon wound
tightly around their faces, leaving just
a slit for their eyes to peep through,
and they are equally mutiled up in
white draperies. Seen from a dis
lance, they might be men with masks
or thick black boards, as in Arab coun-
tries it is by no means easy
to tell man from woman
at first sight. The older and uglier a
woman is the more prudish she seems
to be about covering up her face,
which after ALL is rather considerate
on her part. Even the greater number
of negresses wear the yashmak, but
the Bedouin women never do. In
deed, I am told that in the interior
there is one Arab tribe whose men
wear wells, and whose women go about
with their, faces uncovered. These
are probably the "new women" of
Africa. Pearson Weekly.

To Protect British interests.

has started revolution along the
whole department of the Atlantic,

The Rebel Camps Again shelled.

MAN1LA-Early Saturday the mon
itor Monadnock and the cruiser
Charleston began dropping shells into
the rebel camp between Caloacan and
Malabon.
The enemy's sharpshooters, in the
Jungle on the American left, had been
particularly annoying since daylight,
so the Third Artillery drove the rebels
out of the jungle at noon. In the
meantime few more of our men were
wounded.
Bass, an artist representing Har-
per's Weekly, was shot in the arm.
The loss of the enemy is estimated at
fully fifty killed and wounded to one
American killed or wounded.
