During the period of his Imprisonment BY

men were at one time thrown into an old
barrack with party of Spanish prisoners.

some way. obtained money. which he d.
vided among his men, and with great gen.
crosby sent fifty Mexican dollars to Lieu
tenant Gilmore. asking him to accept them
with his compliments. Gilmore made the
condition that it should be considered a
loan, to which the Spanish general gra-
ciously assented and he used the money to
buy shoes and clothing for his men, some
thing they sadly needed, for they were al
most naked.
After his rescue Gilmore learned that the
Spanish general who had also ESCAPED
from the Filipinos. was in the city of Ma
Mia, and he offered him fifty silver dollars
as repayment Of the loan. The general was
quite indignant and refused to accept il.
When Gilmore reminded him of the agree
ment he smiled and said he had consented
to it only because he feared the Americans
would not accept the money otherwise. GIL
more told the story among the other naval
officers at Manila. who passed around a pa
per and collected handsome sum. which
was expended in the purchase of the most
appropriate and expensive piece Of silver
that could be found in Manila. 1t was en-
graved with brief statement of facts and
presented to the Spanish general with ap-
propriate ceremonies as token of graft
tude and admiration from the Navy of the
United States. Then he was invited to a
reception upon the flagship, where every
officer In the feet who could be spared well
coined him and thanked him in person for
his kindness to Gilmore and his men.

to crawl into hole until something turns
up to dehorn the dilemma. The confident
belief of the Administration is that Lord

ceived inside of the next two or three
weeks. If that much time can be gained.

collapse and there will be no more South

aflame with po,ychromatic bunting. snd the
bright atmosphere of the Capital is lush

1t is not because Mafeking has been re-
lieved, or because the distinguished ENJOYS
of the fighting Boer Republics are here,
though most people in this commuri ty are
glad of both facts. 1t is because, beginning

green and pleasant oasis by that extremely
ancient ard illistrious order of men, the
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine. Even at this

been suffering for three years from cancer
OF the neck. but DR.. English's treatment
had benefited her and that she was taking
MIN with her in hope that he can cure her
Dr. English declares that the mild
climate OF Honolulu will effect a cure,
out the Queens intimate friends here say
mournfully that she is going home to Gle.
Wnen she first arrived here eighteen
months ago on her way to Washington it
was reported that she was suffering from
the same complaint that proved fatal to
General Grant. but this report was then
vigorously denied. as it has been several
times since. Now there seems to be no
reason Tor concealing the fact that the
Queen Is suffering from disease that has
seldom been cured. She hopes that Con-
gress, before II adjourns, will grant her
s25O,OOO. as compensation for the crown
which was taken from her. She does rot
care :or pension, her friends say, but
prefers lump sum.
