KNOWN IN BANGOR.
Miss Gilbert, Who Figured in Case at
Portland.

Bangor, April 24.-(SpeciaD-Mis
Minnies F.. Gilbert, who has figured
more OF less prominently in the pro-
cestings before the United states Dis
in connection with the various post
office robbery cases in Maine, has more
than Il passing acquaintance with the
local authorities. over in Portland she
has given her home as Bangor, but
that is scarcely the truth, as the young
woman came to this city from HOlll-
ton. though there is no definite infor-
nation 10 nail it down as a fact that
she was born in that town. 1t wasn't
long after she arrived here, which was
some five years ago, that the officers
became aware Of the fact that she was
i'll town.
IN point of fact it probably was but
Il few hours, for she very quickly took
her place among certain class OF
women which then invested Bangor.
But while the police knew she was
here; knew who she was and had sus-
picions concerning her she succeeded
in keeping out of their clutches.
About the first that the officers got
an opportunity to talk to her III an
official capacity was some three years
ago, on Fast Day night.
That night she, accompanied by an
other young woman named Taylor.
from Brewer. went to the st. James
Hotel, where they secured u room and
retired In the course of the evening
To- orirI al Of tho
hotel and told him that her companion
had taken poison. a physician was
called and succeeded in saving the
girls life. though she complained bit
terly of the fact. saying that she didn't
want to live and did all possible to
Illustrate the efforts Of the physician.
Along towards morning, however. she
became reoonciled to fate and decided
to live. The police officers talked to
hcr anl advised her to change hHr
manner Of life AMI she promised to do
So.
She didn't. though. for in a very short
time she was arrested and taken be-
fore the court on charge of street
walking. The court listened to the eri-
dence and thought that the moral at
mosphere of the city would be some
what improved if Minnie could be in
duced to stay off the streets, so sent
her up the hill for 80 days. She served
out her sentence and was around the
city for a short time after her release.
then disappeared. to be seen only 1T
long intervals and then only for a few
days at a time.
It would take a very elastic imagina-
ton to decide that she is attractive.
Her face is very plain. while her car
riage is anything but graceful.

Gus invasion of the interior Of Man
churla with the purpose Of reaching
and overwhelming the main Russian
army. Instead, there seems to be
determination to- stick as close as posi-
Bile to the sea, where lies Japan's
natural base of communications she
having established herself in Corea
The general staff's report say that
the Japanese still have three other OBJ
jectives--the occupation of a line across
the Lao Tung peninsula, for the pur-
pose of cutting off Port Arthur: the
isolation of Vladivostok and the estab-
lishment Of a junction between the
army of Corea and the force at the
head of the Lao Tung peninsula. The
last mentioned movement might be ac-
complished by a landing near the
mouth of the Ia Yang river, which
by threatening the flank of the Rus
sian position at Peng Huan Cheng
might render it untenable and make
the advance of a column from Corea
Comparatively easy. If these plans
should succeed. the life of both Rus
sian squadrons in the Pacific would
be menaced and with the sea and a
fleet back of her at every point Japan
could fortify the positions thus gained
and, with the tables turned, compel
Gen. Kuropatkin to come forward and
attack
Gen. Kuropatkin however is in pos
session of the latest advices received
by the general staff and it is safe to
assume that if the Japanese campaign
develops along the lines indicated he
will be ready to make such DISPOSE
ton Of his forces as will meet and
checkmate it,
