GILMORE S Spanish FRIEND.

During the period of his imprison-
ment by the Filipinos, Lieut.. Gilmore
and his men were at once thrown into
an old barrack with a party OF spanish
prisoners, including a maJor-general.
The latter in some way. obtained mon
ey, which he divided among his men.
and with great generosity sent 80 Mex
lean dollars 10 Lieut.. Gilmore, asking
him II accept them with his compli-
ments. Gilmore made the condition
II should be considered a. loan, to which
tie Spanish general graciously assented
and he used the money TO buy shoes and
clothkng for his men. something they
sadly decided, for they were almost max
ed, says the Havana Post.
After his rescue Gilmore learned
that the Spanish general, who had also
escaped from the FLIP nos, was in the
city OF Manila, and he offered him 30
