BYRON'S ABBEY IN COURT.

Newstead Abbey the famous country
seat of the poet Byron, which he describes
with SO much love and veneration in many
of his verses, notably in "Childe Harold"
has just come before the courts Of Lon
don in connection with the probate of the
will of it's late owner, Mr.. William Fred
erick Webb, who died last winter in Egypt.
He is the first owner of Newstead Abbey
in more than 200 years to leave son,
though curiously enough, he has be-
gueathed the abbey to his eldest daughter,
and after her to her younger sister, his son
Roderick only coming in for the property
in the event of their death without issue.
According to local tradition, this absence
of any direct male heirs to Newstead Abbey
was due to the existence of curse brought
upon the place by the fifth Lord Byron,
who was, it may be remembered, tried for
murder by the house Of lords in West
minister hall and found guilty, though he
escaped punishment by virtue of an old
statute Of King Edward VI, which per-
mitted him to get rid of the consequences
of this crime by means of fine. This par
ticular Lord Byron, in the course of some
building operations at Newstead Abbey.
happened to come upon the remains Of
one Of the old time abbots Of the place.
He permitted the bones to be renterred.
but had the skull converted into drinking
cup which he used for carousing.
1t was in consequence of this that
curse pronounced upon MIN to the ef-
feet that he would die without leaving any
male issue to inherit the estate. and it was
further added that long as the skull
remained above ground there would never
Re any direct heir to the Newstead Abbey
property. Lord Byron scOffed at the curse,
but lived to see both his son and the latters
only son die in quick succession by violence.
It was in this way that the abbey passed
into the hands of the poet, a distant rela-
tive TIE sixth Lord Byron died as every
one knows. without male issue, leaving only
a daughter and the seventh Lord Byron
was again a distant cousin, who was obliged
through poverty to get rid OF Newstead
abbey, which passed into the hands of Mr..
Webb by purchase.
1t was Colonel Webb who discovered
shortly after he acquired possession of the
abbey, the grewsome drinking bowl of the
fifth Lord Byron in silversmith's shop
in Bedford street, Covent garden. Aware
CT the story concerning it. he at once pur-
chased it and caused it to be reverently
reburied within the abbey precincts. 1t
was after this that his son was born, and
the people of the district are convinced
that if he has left male issue it is entirely
owing to his recovery and reburial of the
skull of the old abbot The place is kept
in magnificent style and the favorite bed
room Of the poet has been left just as he
used it.--London Letter.

General Otis Needs ReinfOrcements in
Large Numbers.
BY Wire From Washington, June IA.

The situation in the Philippines is regard
ed here as critical, and large renforcements
must be sent Gen. Otis before he can crush
the insurgent army.
The aggressive campaign decided on few
days ago, If persisted in during the hot,
rainy season. means hard campaigning and
considerable loss to the American army.
1t is only question of time before the
volunteer army must be called out. If the
administration decides not to call for volun-
teers it will ask congress to provide for an
additional standing army full compile
ment of regulars is now enlisted, but there
is great need for more men in the Philip
pines. Insurgents in large numbers come
swarming down all sides, and it will re-
quire hard and aggressive fighting to van
quish them. GERALD.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE news of the
heavy fighting almost in sight of Manila,
and adjacent to the navy yard at Cavite,
where Admiral Dewey landed his forces more
than year ago, was received with intense
interest here. 1t is evident to the officials
that the insurgents either are far stronger
than has been realized or that they have
come to the end of their resources and are
making this last struggle in sheer despera-
ton. Otherwise, it is hard to understand
why they should come down to the shore of
the bay and fight the warshps.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin steadfastly maintained
his confidence in the success of the present
movement in Luzon- and said yesterday that
he felt encouraged at the advices from Otis
He had particularly in view Gen. Otis state
ment that I.awton had driven the enemy
with heavy loss, and that the latter could
not reassembe in force. STILL there is
great concern exhibited ever the conditions
that confront the American troops in this
compaign, and there was a renewal of the
inquiry as to whether or not there is to be
further reinforcement of the troops or an
other cali for volunteers.
The statement was made in reply to this
that Otis has, or soon will have, all the
men he estimated and the opinion of Gen.
Otis in these matters, it can be said, is to
determine the policy of the president in the
matter.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Acting Secre-
tary Meiklejohn issued an order yesterday
directing that the number of enlisted men
in each company of infantry regiments serv-

creased from 112 to 12S. There will be Is
full regiments and two battalons each of
two other regiments that will be subject to
this order.

Spaniards and Filipinos have been killed
while fighting over the same bridge in for
mer contests for its possession. In June,
1897, Gems. Pho Del Pillar and Tras turned
scale of war on the side of the Filpinos
by deserting the Spanish army there on
the eve of a decisive battle, carrying native
militia with them, and thereby breaking
the chain of defense around Manila.

Yankee Doodle went to war,

Yankee Doodle do them up,
Yankee Doodle dandy;
English Doodle, Yankee pluck,
TO greed came mighty handy.
The pretext to a war was slim,
Before their Maine explosion;
But after that what'eer could swim,
Was bought at Yankee motion.
So Doodle down to Cuba went,
To ply his humane mission;
Before the year was fully spent,
He showed his high ambition.
In Cuba Yankee Doodle stayed,
To get his cash invested;
He'll have their wealth in various ways,
Till from them all is wrested.
Still, Yankee pluck is to be praised,
It had no bad intention;
The rank and file won no disgrace.
For war is greed's invention.
But Yankee Doodle wanted more.

This Is a question Of particular i'm

point the Cleveland Leader observes
that 1t Is already a fair question

that many staples will lose much Of the
