following anecdote: When Lord Speu-

spected the Scots Grays in the Phoenix

Aunt Marion was proud and sensi-

lost her lover.
I'm a year or two she heard of their
marriage, which opened her eyes a lit
tie and caused the girlish friendship to
be broken Off. Two years ago she re-
ceiyed a letter from this woman, who,
it seems, was dying, confessing the
whole truth. She also left an eXplana-
ton for her husband. which he found
when she was dead. After awhile Aunt
Marion acceded to the widower's re-
peated entreaties to be allowed to call
and in a few months they were engaged.

other wOman Il good husband, but he
did not really love her, for his wife
wrote that he had never forgotten his
first love, and only married her in
gratitude for the sympathy and tender
ness she showed when telling how my
aunt had deceived him. I think" con-

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IsDUE
Some of the Good Things in store

ey, upon his return to the United
States, is to be presented with n mon.
ster testimonial consisting of AUTO
graph letters from nearly every mem.
Der of President McKinley's cabinet,
governors of states and prominent
United States senator's.
The secretary of the treasury says
In his written opinion of Dewey chat
he regarded him as one of a galaxy of
men who have made the American
name honorable and illustrious; the
secretary of state writes that no arti.
fetal commemoration of such a victory
is at all needful to preserve it forever
in the American heart; the secretary
D. the navy expresses similar views;
the secretary of agriculture reminds
Americans that Dewey, in a day added
an archipelago to the possessions of
the United States; the secretary of
war writes that he gladly adds his
tribute of praise to Dewey, and the
postmaster general enthusiastically
seconds the proposition to emphasize
the gratitude of the people.
While Admiral Dewey will be the re-
cipient of many honors on his return
home, this testimonial will be the FIRST
written evidence extended to him Of
the very widespread sentiment and
gratitude on the part of Americans
for the victor of Manila.

GOMEZ STARTLING PROPOSAL
wonts a Native Army-No Need OF
Rural Guards-Test of Serv-
ice, With Exceptions.

Havana, May 10.-Gen. Maxine Co.
mez is trying to persuade Gov.-Gen.
fTooke that a Cuban standing army of
$4,000 men is n necessary adjunct to
the proper government of the island.
HIS views he has presented in writing,
bat without eliciting as yet any reply.
The proposition is not likely to receive
much consideration at Headquarters,
where considerable surprise was occa-
siored by this magnificent project,
which, if adopted, Gomez doubtless be-
~lieves, would be placed under his per-
sonal control.
No Need of Rural Guards.
The growing conviction that there is
no need of rural guards except in the
wilder portions of the provinces of
Santiago and Puerto Principe is con-
t.rmed by the Investigations of Capt.
Hickey, of the governor generals staff,
who returned Monday from a 1000
mile trip through the provinces east
of Havana. which has occupied two
months. Capt. Hickey, in carefully
written reports to Gen. Brooke, asserts
that with the exception of q few in
Santiago province, he found no traces
OF bandits. Political feeling in the
country districts" he declares, lis far
less intense than in Havana. where the
I~udlcontents are gathered. Most of the
Cubans of the provinces favor ultimate
Independence, but they are willing to

The rules to be followed in the pay

Is bed yesterday. The article on arms

The Test of Service.
Arms and equipmentsreceived from
Cuban soldiers will be taken under
guard to the nearest station occupied
by the United States troops, from
which they will be transported to Ha-
'ana or Santiago, where they will be
kept in %arsenals as souvenirs and cared
for by selected by the COM
I; ander-in-chief of the Cuban army.
Some Deserving Exceptions.
This question has been the principal
cause of friction. The rules require
the surrender of arms as a condition
precedent to payment; yet the COM
missicners recognize that there are
some deserving privates without arms,
having sold them or lost them. Con-
sequently. in exceptional cases, the
money will be paid on proof that the
applicant actually saw service and
made a proper disposition of his wea-
PJns.
