qualnted with the young lady-at on,

How peculiarl He must be deeply
attached to the lady" said the doctor. as
they passed through the corridor of the
castle.
A few moments later he examined the
patient and, after putting the usual
queries, withdrew with the countess to
the library.
I understand the gentleman resides
ae Easton. Did he seem much fatigued
upon his arrival. He should not have
r1sked the journey. l hope there will not
be any objection to his remaining here.
Ihe gentleman is unable to return. His
"nole constitution is shattered, both men,
tally and physically. He needs rest and
nursing"

countess, full of sympathy. my daugh-
ters and l will do the best we can"
i do not doubt it in the least, coun-
tess In the evening will call again, foe
do not like the PATENTS present appear
ance."

Dear general, you must commit your

forbidden. You can we'll afford to re-
main here a few days-your presence
would be very agreeable to u.s."
Il feel greatly honored by your kind
ness and accept the invitation with my
sincerest gratitude, but l must return
to-day"
Il suppose will have to consent, but
you must promise to return in company
with your wife; her presence will great
ly assist in his recovery; besides, you also
need rest, you look fatigued. We will
try to have you enjoy your stay-is il
settled? Yesp and without waiting for
an answer, the countess quickly left the
room.
when do you intend to return, faith

MY dear boy" replied the general,
Eoothingly, "the doctor has forbidden
your return. You will be kindly nursed,
and tomorrow l will come back with
mother and remain for few days. We
will be well pleased to leave Easton for
little time, and you will recover more

REBELS ARE GAINING.
Venezuelan Forces are Being Decimated
at a Rapid Rate.

Washington, May 2O.-Advices of
thoroughly reliable character received
in Washington, under date of May 10,
show that the Venezuelan revolutionists
are not only holding their own, but are
making considerable headway. The
advices say
The districts of Coro, Barquisimeto
and Tucacas, on the west side, and
Ciudad Bolivar, on the Orinoco, and its
surrounding country, ale still in the
power of revolutionists. Within go
miles of La Guayra, in the Rio Chico
district, the revolutionists are holding
forth, and, although the government
few weeks ago sent an expedition there
to drive them out, they succeeded only
in making them retreat, and within a
few days they were again back there.
A battle took place, in which the gov.
ernment lost over 900 men and about
800 wounded we're brought back to La
Guayra after a two days fight.
On the other hand, the revolutionists
have not succeeded in ousting the gov
ernment OF in winning any particular
fight, but they are decimating the gov
ernment troops, and the government
has not more than 5000 men under
arms.

cA0AYAN is PLAGUED
CarabOas Has Rain, Lands Overflow, Lo-
Gusts and Smallpox Came.


Washington, Nay 20. - The bureau
of insular affairs Of the war depart
ment has received the annual report OF
Governor Gonzaga, of the province Of
Cagayan, P. l., for the year 1902. 1t
says in part:
"The province of Cagayan, situated
in the extreme northern part OF the
island of Luzon, has continued in a
peaceful and tranquil condition since
the establishment there of civil gov.
ernment, which was accomplished with
out the least disturbance or occasion of
disorder in September, 1901. The
most complete peace has reigned.
Prosperity has been prevented by
the mortality of Caraboas and other
diseases of cattle and horses. This was
followed by unexpected rising of the
rivers, which overhowed land planted
with corn. Then came the smallpox
and the scourge of locusts, and the
cholera, which, while it has not
wrought much havoc, has greatly un.
settled the minds of the people.
"The dire calamities mentioned, to-
gether with the depression in tobacco,
which is the principal product of the
soil, placed the inhabitants of the to-
bacco raising pueblos of the province in
a most deploraDe condition.
Gall of the pueblos of the province
should be given American teachers,
and there should be established institu-
tions Of higher learning in the island, i,
of agriculture, arts aud trades in the
provincial capital, for the education of
the Cagayan youth"

Great Falls, Mont, May 21.-The
heaviest sheep and catt loss in the
history of Montana, the damage of
which will foot up as high as $5,00O,-
900, has been caused by the terrible
storm which has been raging for the
past three days. In some sections folly
80 per cent of the sheep ON the ranges
have rerished. -
Three herders, at least, have wan.
dered away in the binding storm and
have frozen to death. 1t is difficult to
get names. An aged herder at Portage
was lost Sunday. Two more in the
Shelby Junction country are missing
and there is no hope that they can be
found alive.
Two thousand five hundred sheep are
drifting on the ranges without herders.
The latter have abandoned their focks
on every hand and fed for safety t.. the
settlements and ranches Nothing
like the fury of this storm has ever
been witnessed in Northern Montana.
Of consignment Of 800 cattle bound
from Havre, all but FIVE were found
frozen stiff. Losses are reported on

Supreme Court MOdifieS Decree Obtained
by American.
Washington, May 20.-The United
States supreme court today, in the case
of the Republic of Colombia VS.. The
Cauca company, modified a decree Of
the circuit court of appeals for the
Fourth circuit. The case involved a
controversy as TO claim on the part OF
the company against the Colombian
gov rnment on account Of a contract for
a railroad under an award made to one
Cherry in 1890. The courts of the
United States secured juris fiction
through the fact that the company was
incorpora ed in West Virginia.
The courts below recognized the full
claim Of the company, including an
item Of $145, 900 to Cherry on account
of the transfer of his charter, and Of
$780, to one of the arbitrators in the
case. The opinion given today dis
allows there two claims, but recognizes
the claim Of the company ior compen-
sation for rolling stock, for salaries for
its officers and for travelling expenses,
the total allowance being $193, ,204.
