The boat was travelling on after the

1t was nigh seven of the clock before
the senorita appeared. She had slept
some, it seemed, though brokenly, and
was many times awake. She looked a
little worn. which was not surprising,
seeing what she had been through, but

'It will no be lang before we shall be

looking hard at the speck. I'VE are

This was indeed evident, as l saw
by another glance.
"Well, we can watch her for a Bit
then" said Sellinger, but with no
abatement of his soberness. "At least
we can be sure whether she is full on
our course"
We let fall the talk accordingly, and
all stood up, with our eyes on the com

back l found the sail waving and fall

the ship we had neglected the wind,
which had first slowly declined and
now was evidently on the point of
failing altogether.
My companion instantly caught my
meaning.
"Aye, that changes matters" said
Sellinger, with Il kindling eye. "See,
the ship begins to lag already"
"There is hope" said Mr.. Tym, calm

"Starboard! We will lay for the
coast" he called to me.
"Starboard it is, sir!" cried, heart

Tym. who was now standing just by

Mr. Tym was not for hating, and led
us boldly to the main gate. The pos
tern, as might say here, was the
more obscure and the guard smaller,
but it was the farther removed, and
agaiD we must pass the wings of the
castle, where men were frequently
lodging in and out. Finally, this gate
gave upon the edge of the plateau, be-

The main gate, on the other hand, let

Few of us are happy TO have our
birthdays come quite as often as they
do. For, whether we acknowledge the
fact or not, we none of us want to grow
old. 1t is good to be young, and while
we are not ashamed of our age, we feel
that each year brings us nearer that
point when we shall be no longer
young. And we do not want to be
laid aside, TO be put out of the bright,
happy, active life. So. we do not well
come our birthdays. But, since they
must come, we like other people to re-
member them pleasantly, and the
whole day is gladdened by congratu-
latory letter or by little present
which shows that some one is glad we
were born, and hopes that we will live
many, many years yet. And because
these little remembrances do give hap
piness we should try to pay especial
heed TO the birthdays Of others. 1t
takes only few minutes to write the
loving lines that our friend will re-
ceive at his breakfast table on his
birthday morning. But these few lines
may turn the current Of his thoughts
into a happy direction and make him
forget that he is growing old in the rec
election that he is loved.-Harper's

western garrisons. The talk turned to
the civil war, where General Shafter
won his spurs as lieutenant colonel of
the Nineteenth Michigan. He told how
he gained the friendship of General
Thomas as acting colonel of that regi-
ment, then reduced by hard fighting to
only $50 men, and how he was ap-
pointed as one of the seven men ap-
pointed at the instance of General
Thomas to positions in the regular
army at the close of the war.
Colonel John Q. Cannon and Adjutant
General C. S. Burton of Governor
Wells staff. arrived, bringing the gov
ernor's greeting and his regrets that
General Shafter was unable to remain
oyer a day at least in Salt Lake. The
general commiserated Colonel Cannon
on his hard luck in getting no nearer
the Spanish war than Jacksonville with
his rough riders and the talk drifted to
the fight about Santiago.
Meanwhile, the cars had been
switched back and forth until again
the train drew into the crowd at the
station, which stood below and gaped
and stared through the plate glass win
dows at the man whose name has be-
come so world-renowned since twelve
months ago.
Then, after nearly thirty-minute
stop, the gong sounded, the guests
took hurried leave and stepped from
the train as it pulled slowly out for
Ogden and the west.

HIS PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
shafter Displeased With Military
Methods In Philippines.
Especial Correspondents

Especial CorreSpondence.)
Ogden, April 25.-Major General w.
r. Shafter was delayed in Ogden about
an hour and during his stay learned
from a Herald reporter of the hot fight
ing, hot weather and severe losses re-
ported from General Otis and reported
in yesterdays Associated Press dis
patches. General Shafter made it very
clear in the course of a ten-minute talk
to the reporter that he does not favor
the Manila plan of campaign.
I'm afraid they are frfttering away
too much time over there" were the
exact words which he uttered with
much vehemence, when told of the
scattered fighting and detailed pro-
gress of the three divisions described
in Otis dispatch.
Later in the interview he endeavored
to modify this statement and said.
"Of course Otis is on the ground and
is probably doing the very best posi-
BILE under conditions as they now eX-
ist. Still, judging from this distance,
my plan of campaign would be to leave
a garrison amply able to hold Manila
and maintain order then 1 would move
forward with the remaining troops in
a strong, compact body, against which
the FiIipinos could not muster enough
strength to resist.
General Shafter was intensely inter
ested in the dispatches from Manila
and seemed to have the map of the
island with a diagram of the plan of
battle in the air before him while he
talked.
When told of the incident of finding
200 dead Filipinos on the field he re-
marked:
Those fellows simply stand up be-
fore ours and are moved down. They
are fanatical, that's the trouble; they
fight with a frenzy and a lack of
method that make their operations diff
cult to meet. They are much worse than
Indians, having all their cunning and
recklessness, with superior leadership
and intelligence added.

nate indeed that we have to fight it
over again now before commissions.
and in the newspapers. We had electri-
fled the world with the success of our
arms and our navy. We had surprised
all nations, especially our own, with
our swift and complete victory. Sup
pose mistakes had been made. What
was the use of advertising them to
the world. We might have gone about
it quietly and profited by the mistakes
without advertising our dissensions to
the world

TO USE w. --ooPs.
May Garry On Future Operations In
Philippines.

Washington, April pa proposition
to utilize negro troops to a large extent
in future military operations in the
Philippines is attracting much atten-
ton, and it is believed will be consid-
cred by the administration in the near
future. Such a policy is urged on the
theory that certain racial affiliations
may be utilized in a way to defeat
the rebellious acts on the part of Agui-
naldo and his party. and to bring peace
to the newly-acquired possessions of the
United States in the east
One-third of the population of the
Philippines are negro and of the same
race as those of the United States, and
while not numerous about Manila, COM
prise nearly the entire population of
some of the islands.
The advocates of the scheme believe
in short time there would be assimi-
lation between the negroes of the Phil
ippines and their kindred from the
United States, and that there would
follow for the colored people opportu-
mites to get homes and possibilities of
careers they could not hope for in this
country.

oration to a large congregation In
the. course of his remarks he attacked
the Prince of Wales as IA certain card
playing prince" After eulosizirS
Cromwell, Dr. Parker said:
When the prince fails, then let the
country mourn. We look to princes for
noble deeds and high example When
I see my prince and my premier on a
race course I don't like it.
These remarks were cheered by the
audience, and DIR. aPrker proceeded 20
make a rabid attack upon the Sultan of

Emperor William may call him his
friend. but in the name Of God the
Father. the Son and the Holy Ghost,
