VILLAMIL'S REMAINS
Positively Identified by General VIC oil
and othcrs-Nothlns Left but the
AdmiraIS Bones.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March 13-
Yesterday General Leonard Wood, mil
itary governor of the department OF
Santiago In the presence of the adju-
tantS general of the department, Col.
Beacon and Captain Gilmore. Captain
Scott, captain OF the port, and other of .
ncers positively Identified the remains
of the Spanish officer discovered few
days ago among the rocks on the shore
about four miles west OF Icl Morro as
those Of Admiral Villamil, who COM
manded the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyers In the naval battle. which re-
suited In the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's squadron.
Accompanied by the officers named
and by others, General Wood went In n
tug to investigate personally as to the
truth Of the report that the body of a
Spanish officer had been found, tied In
an arm chair. at the point designated.
The report proved well founded. Near
~ opposite the point where the wreck
ed torpedo boat destroyer Pluton lies,
General Wood found an arm chair with
ropes around 1t, q skull, bones on the
SrouHf and the ragged remnants OF the
uniform OF q captain In the Spanish
navy. 1t was evident that the buz-
yards had stripped the bones OF flesh.
1t Is understood here-though as to
this there is no certalnty-that Ad-
mlral Villam!l was taken ashore from
the Pluton in dying condition, tied in
an arm chair and the suppos.tion Is
that he died Immediately on reaching
the shore, the body being left aban-
doned among the rocks, where It re-
mained undiscovered until q few days
ago.
The Identification caused sensation
among the Spanlards here. as Admiral
Fillamil was one OF the best known
strategists In the Spanish navy and 4
man held in high esteem by his coun-
trymcn.
General Wood, through the war de-
partmcnt. Will notify the secretary of
state OF the finding OF the remains, so
that these can be removed to Spain, IL
the Spanis government 20 desires. Pend
ing final disposition, they Will be kept
at the arsenal here. The tattered uni
form Will also be held subject to
Spain's wishes. The arm chair is at
present In charge of Captain Scott.

smothered From Too Much Fat.

Yesterday we published an article re-
Walla Walla, named Mrs. Lyman, who
was too fat to live, but had Leen brought
to that place in the hope that physicians
could do something for her. 1t seems,
however, that their efforts failed. The
Union says:
Monday it was decided by her physi-
clan, DIR. N. G. Blalock, that something
had to be done at once in an effort to
save her life. Accordingly, Mrs. Lyman
and her husband were consulted and
agreed to an operation. Tuesday morn
ing at o'clock, with remarkable FORTH
tude the Indian woman bade her hus-
band goodby and submitted to the
surgeons knife. The operation did not
take long but only ten pounds of fatty
matter could be removed as the woman
was so deshy equally in all parts that
very little of the fatty tissue could be
removed with safety. She recovered
nicely from the operation and it was
hoped some relief would come, but,
however, that was not to be. About
O'Clock Mrs. Lyman found much diff
Guilty in breathing and was literally
choked to death from fatty tissue press
ing on and smothering the heart.
The case is very remarkable one oi
obesity and notwithstanding the fact
that the woman ate little food, che grew
from day to day at wonderful rate,
flesh seeming to grow upon flesh. Nc
remedies to reduce her weight had any
| effect.

All Right.

The D. P. & A. n. Co. made no mis-
take in naming the new boat the Inland
Flyer, for flyer she proved to be on her
official trial trip yesterday.
Leaving the Oak-street wharf at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, she steamed
down the Willamette at an average rate
of speed of 18 miles an hour, which was
maintained until Knapp's beacon, on
the Colum 5ia was in line with the pilot
house. From there she epurted to Fale's
beacon, covering the dis:an in &
fraction more than FIVE minutes The
government course, knot, or l Z mile,
over which the torpedo boats Davis ard
Fox were sped, was covered in 8 minutes
and % seconds giving good illustra-
ton of the Flyers ability. Near ST.
Helena the boat was headed up stream,
and then steamed up the Columbia to
meet the Steamer Regulator of the same
line, IN whose company she returned to
her dock about O'Clock in the after
notn.
Although this was the first trial since
the engines have been overhau!ej ard
a condenser put in, the machinery
worked very smoothly, and tne result Of
the trial was eminently satisfactory.
During the squirt between Knapp's and
Fale's the engines, though hooked up
attaint speed of $50 revolutions to
the minute under 240 pounds of steam.
Unluckily, a''gasket" blew out at this
stage. causing the guage to fall to an
average of 1870 pounds. Yet, the dis
lance was covered at rate of speed of a
little over % miles per hour.

ist church of Columb bus, o., requires
women to take off their hats during
service. This is commendable in many
ways, and will go far toward cultivating
the Christian spirit with its attendant
graces.
AS "the purpose of wcrehip is edifca-

remove whatever interfe.es with this,
even if the barrier be twenty five

human breast there arises a feeling de-
plorably akin to the angry passions
when the eyes are trying to look over a
high fence of flowers or feathera that
efectually shuts out the view of speaker
or singer.
Hygienic reasons may also be urged
in favor of general custom of removing
the article in question. And last, but
by no means least, of theabenefts to be
derived is the probable decreasing desire
for tfshow" hats and the consequent
