and break the melancholy news to her
that the torpedo-boat was lost in all
probability with all on board, for from
her agitation on the wharf he inferred
that her affections were bestowed upon
Lacy. He was very sorry for her, OF
course, but knowing Lacy as he
had, and estimating Fanny Glen as he
did, there was a certain sense Of re-
lief that she would not be condemned
to a lifetime of misery which such
marriage would inevitably have en-
tailed. Still he pitied her profoundly,
and he pitied her more when she came
into his private oflice in the wake of
the orderly and threw back her veil.
Her beautiful face showed the sorrow
under which she labored. Suffering
had thrown blight upon it. the fresh
ness and youth seemed to have depart
ed from it. She was a piteous little
spectacle indeed.
The general received her with the
utmost cordiality and consideration.
He handed her to chair, and bade the
orderly see that they were not dis
turbed on any account.
Miss Fanny" he began gently-the
war had brought the general and the
brave girl very close together-'I was
coming over to see you in a little while.
You have shown yourself a brave little
woman many times. You need all your
courage now"
"Yes, general" said the girl family,
'I know"
You have sustained terrible loss"
"Is-is-Mr. Sempland-"
"He is well enough at present. I refer
to your friend, Major Lacy"
'Is he"

biiity he has lost his life in the torpedo
boat. We can get no tidings of her or
of any of her crew. She must have gone

Did they succeed, sir?" interrupted
Fanny Glen, with an anxiety and an
apprehension too great to be controlled.
"They did," returned Beauregard.
somewhat surprised at her question,
'but the torpedo-boat, 1 think, went
down with the ship she blew up. and
no one has seen her or any Of her crew
since the explosion. knew that It was
almost certain death to them"
Fanny Glen sank back in the chair.
She almost lost consciousness in her
agony She murmured strange and in
coherent words. The general did not
understand them, but he rose, came to
her side, bent over her and took her
hand, patting it softly.
'I know, know, my dear child" he
said gently, "how you must suffer.
Many another woman has had to give
up her hearts desire for our beloved
country. Think of the service he rem

1 cannot tell whether the court martial

The general struck a bell on the desk
before him.

tinued the general, laying his hand ten
derly upon the bowed head. You will
always have the deathless memory OF

"Oh!" cried the woman, throwing
back her head. you are wrong. You

wilderment.
HE did. The Wabash and Hou-

night and the latter was sunk. The

Panama, Dec. 28.-The spread of
the secession movement in Colombia,
is shown by a remarkable telegram
from General Copoldo Triana, the
president of the municipal council Of
Cali, to the minister of war, Bogota,
in which he says:
1T is my duty to inform your ex-
cellency that indignation is general in
Cauca in consequence of the blunders
Hi Bogota; and If &spite. of informa-
ton to the contrary the idea about
separation is almost unanimous. To
crush that. opinion not a single bat
TALON could he organized, because the
outcome would be futile.
Further, If the government wishes
to keep intact the territorial integrity
OF Colombia, instead of send
ing. bayonets it would do
well to empower commissions
to- carry out the work diplomat
ically, offering something that shall
be complied with. in administrative
matters of municipal life, which does
not exist, and Of civil and political lib

st. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.-The Rus.
sian government is noting with the
closest attention and keenest interest
the uncommon energy shown by the
Chinese in making war1ike prepara-.
ttons under the guidance Of q large
number of Japanese instructors. This
has grown SO serious as to- come into
the first line Of Russia's calculations.
increasing, as it does, the posstbili-
ties of war and broadening out the
situation on quite new lines. ~
The attitude of the Chinese does
not in the least dismay the war party
here. Quite the contrary. It's meme
bers compare the possible entry of
China into the arena to the following
Of the Orange Free State In espousinE
the Transvaal cause. with the results
of losing its freedom and making the
campaign doubly easy for the Eng
lish.
In diplomatic circles China's atti-
tude is also topic Of constant inter-
est, the view: taken being that II Russ
sia is attacked by two powers, accord-
ing to the terms of the Franco-Rus-
sian alliance, France must come to
the aid of her ally, following on
which nothing could stop England
from coming in as she is bound to by
the recent treaty, should Japan ba
attacked by more than one power.
After that possibilities of further In
ternational complications are unlim.
tied. Such is the talk Of to-day.
