wiped out, Santa Teresa de Urea found
herself a prisoner of the Mexican gov
ernment at Guaymas.
However, few days after her incar-
ceration, a note arrived by courier from
the chief of all the Yaquis, threatening
an outbreak if the girl was not immedi-
ately released. President Diaz con-
cluded it would be eXpedient to exile
the SainC of Cabot, and shortly after
she took up her residence in Nogales,
A. T., whittier a steady stream of Mex
lean and Yaqui pilgrims made their
way to be cured of their ills.
She disappeared one day, and when
next heard of she was the leader of a
band of Yaqui Indians, who made a
raid on the town of Fronteras, near the
United States border. Again she was
forced to leave the country, and this
time took up her residence in Ell Paso,
Tex.
She again disappeared, and next came
to public notice as the chief actor in
an army of about 1000 fanatical MeXi-
cans in the state of chihuahua, Mexico.
They had their camp just across the
Rio Grande from Preside del Norte,
Tex, and the wonderful woman seemed
to have full sway over her followers.
This gathering of fanatics became so
large that the Mexican authorities be-
came alarmed, the report having
reached chihuahua that they intended
starting a revolution against the Mex
lean government. A regiment of sol
diers was sent out from chihuahua to
disperse the fanatics. The troops went
to Sierra Mojada by train and then
marched overland to the border, dis
tanse of 100 miles. The religious fam
atics refused to obey the order to dis
perse and a conflict took place in which
six soldiers and 20 fanatics were killed.
Santa Teresa escaped across the river
and kept in hiding in Texas until the
excitement died out. She then returned
to El Paso, where she lived until her
recent disappearance.

HER SEvENTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY.

Down the vale of well spent years,
Hallowed now with smiles and tears,
Glides a life toward westering sun,
Counting mile stones seventy-one.
Turning back times well-worn scroll,
Watch we now the years unroll;
Glimpses bright of days bygone,
Glimpses, too, of burdens borne.
Joyous years, when youths own charm
Brightly tinged the futures harm;
whispering hope and love and truth,
Reckoning years of golden youth!
Welded years. so briefly told,
Yet their CLEAN like thread of gold
Shines along the lonely day,
Comforting the widows way.
Links unbroken, songs unsung;
Memory's harp is ever young.
Weary years fly back apace,
Cherished love has won the race.
Faith and Hope and Trust remain,
Time nor age can blight or stain;
Howe'er rough the way. or steep,
God doth constant vigil keep.

PALERMO THE BEAUTIFUL.
Romantic Tale Regarding the TAX
ing of the City by the
Snracens.

The origin of the beautiful city of
Palermo is lost in antiquity, but as re-
CARDS the Saracens taking it, romantic
tale is told. There was a woman at the
bottom of il. A Byzantine general was
one day passing through the streets of
Palermo when he saw "A beautiful nun
looking down at him from her balcony
window. Whereupon he Immediately fell
in love with her. Love laughs at lock-
smiths, so the nun stepped out of her
window that night on an impromptu
ladder and had just reached her lovers
arms when a friar, returning late, dis
covered her. The power of the church
was not to be trihed with. and the gen
eral was sentenced to be fogged
through the streets, the nun being COM
PEELED to stand at her grating and
watch the degradation. BY the aid of
his fellow officers, the general injured
most hazardous escape. The keeper
of the prison was poisoned before mid
night, and the keys obtained. The pris-
oner then swan out into the bay and
floated until a fishing boat took him up
and for a heavy bribe put him on board
a vessel bound for Africa. Once there,
he instigated the Mohammedans to an
easy conquest of Sicily; and they ruled
the island with rigor for 200 years, en-
riching its cities with beautiful pal
aces. Tradition does not say that he
found his sweetheart, but it is to be
hoped that he did, after all he had gone
through for her sake.-Detroit Free

OF THE STRANGE AND EXCELLENT
MENDING OF OUR FORTUNES.
We discussed the matter little fur
ther, and all were of a mind that we
came almost miraculously off. In
deed, but for such wonderfully favor
ing circumstances as the buccaneers
weakness in firearms and the too great
crowding of their boat-causing them
to hamper one another at the last and
making them good targets-we should
almost certainly have come by the
worse. | then persuaded the senorita
to go to her cabin, promising to call
her if there were an alarm, which
done, we arranged the watches, and all
but Mr. Tym, who had the first, turned
in.
The night passed quietly. About
sunrise a little breeze brought a
wrinkle on the water, and we ran up
our sail. By six of the clock we had
way enough on the boat to exceed our
speed with the oars, and with this we
were very well satisfied. We drove
along lightly that day, getting little
more wind in the afternoon, still from
the right quarter, and by nightfal
reckoned that we had made some five
and-thirty miles. We continued to
keep the coast in sight, though now a t
a greater distance, ss the danger from
the buccaneer decreased. Matters be-
ing thus so quiet, thought it favor
able time to have little talk with the
senorita, some things in which she was
concerned standing to be settled, es-

FiIininos Put to Rout.

Manila, Aug. 9.-After fierce fight
lasting five hours, 1000 of General Mac
Arthur's men put 5000 Filipinos to
flight just outside of San Fernando this
morning. The fight was heavy on both
sides. The enemy was finally put to
rout leaving many dead and wounded
on the field. The Americans forced
the insurgents back five miles before
the rout. A late report from the scene
of battle says the American loss was
ten killed and Is wounded.
The American casualties in the bat
tie near San Fernando this morning
now number forty. General Macarthur
continued to drive the insurgents before
hin today until he reached Sandaline,
three miles from Angeles, where he is
bivouacked tonight. The advance will
be continued tomorrow at daylight.
The progress of our troops is slow as
the roads and fields are flooded. Dur
ing his advance this morning General
Macarthur captured the town OF Calulut
and then continued toward Angeles.
The enemy retreated IN good order, but
lost heavily. From San Fernando to
Cnlulut the enemy sturdy oppose d
the American advance. 1t required
steady and hard fighting at times to
make the Filipinos give ground.

The Administrations course in respect
of Chill, Nicaragua and other South
and Central American States, and its
insistance upon its groundless and alb
surd assumption of protectorship over
the whole Western Hemisphere, have,
and by no means unnaturally, irritated
the people of all the other parts of this
hemisphere, except those of the United
States, and its new policy of expansion
has excited their fear that such policy
many be attempted in their direction.
The report, therefore, that they are
making arrangements for effecting 40
alliance by which such attempts,i if made,
may be resisted, is generally credited mo-;
only abroad, but here also. A preter-
tious, assuming and overbearng map
usually finds his neighbors combined
against him; it is the same way with q

on pain of dismissal, to conine their po'
ltical activity to the exercise of the
privilege of suffrage. Editors who
were appointed postmasters had to
abandon their own newspapers, and
district attorneys were removed for

tween beggars and kings. Under Mr..

have the gift of CAB are ordered to go

ence is thsit the democrats are out Of,
and the republicans are in, all the Of

where there is unrestricted suffrage.

THE American negro, or rather Mr..

but is the cause of no little trouble to
this country abroad. The American
consul ct johannesburg has now been
called upon to redress an alleged
wrong done to one of them whose
blood is so pure that he was mistaken
by the police there for Kaffir If "all
coons look alike" here, for stronger
reason, such should be the case in their
fatherland, and the finest, of the
Beers therefore, should not be held re-
sponsible for inability to distinguish
them. When all the negroes in this
country shall go to Africa they will
have their own police, and then there
will be no danger of such mistakes as
that referred to.
