and the Fair Intriguer Was Foil
ed In Her Purpose of Liberating
Criminal Associates.
Lieut.. Charles r. Trowbridge, now
serving as chief OF detectives at Manila,
formerly st. Paul resident, before he
went out with the Thirteenth Mime
sofa, has to keep a sharp eye out, iudg-.
Ing from a recent article in the Manila
Tribune, which arrived this week. That
paper says:
Among the criminals of Manila there
Is fair meStiZo named Gloriana Santa
Crux, whose purpose in life is to secure
the release of thieves and murderers from
imprisonment by the lavish display of
heF many charms and seductive graces
on those in authority. At the work the
fair damsel is an adept, for she piled her
vocation long before the coming OF the
americans among the corrupt officials
or the Spanish regime with considera BILE
success.
NO epithet is strong enough to express
the Voluptuous character Of this fair
woman who personally prefers to barter
,her modesty. to secure the gratitude of
criminals, on whose munificence she de-
pends for a living. Although she has
round 1t quite beyond her power to cor
rupt American officials, she still persists
In her efforts in that direction, being
urged on by criminals who are displeased
with their state of durance and prefer a

slums of Binondo
Lieut.. Trowb.idge, chief of Manila's
secret police, who, by strict adherence
TO the duty incumbent on his office has
made himself the terror of the criminal
element and the object of their hatred, is
the one man whom Gloriana Santa Cruz
would desire to enthrall
She has approached Lieut. Trowbridge
under dozen different DISCUSSES, each
tline oalhtlly and evasively offering him
some eHpeslve present which has been
promptly refused, because the chief of
oetectiVes is too wise man to be caught

1T may be OF interest to mention that

Manila will have less of a wild west
appearance in the future than 1t has had

due to an important order just issued
by command of the military governor
The order reads as follows:
Enlisted men and civilian employees

they are performing military duty in the

opinion of their commanding or super

"a howl of indignation has gone up
from Manila because a few transient
topers cannot buy liquor on Sunday.
Bona fide guests are allowed theit
wine, and those who are keeping house
buy their drinks before hand.
1.-THE idea that everybody may keep
open saloons on Sunday for the benefit
of n few who are toe drunk on Saturday
night to lay in supply is absurd
