STRANGE DISCOVERY

Los ANGELES, Cal, May l2.-In dig
ging cellar on ranch about eight miles
west Of this city this week d curious dis
coyery was made. Two skeletons were un-
covered, the positions of which. taken in
conjunction with the articles found with
them, are suggestive Of an old.time duel
OF an unusual nature.
The heads OF the skeletons were near
together. with arms outstretched, as though
they had fallen forward while engaged in
the sword battle. Two rusty blades were
found, the hits still clutched in the bony
fingers of the skeleton.
The bones were about eighteen inches be-
meath the surface and had evidently been
covered by nature rather than man. for
the place is where the natural wash of
a considerable area of ground would pass
1t is believed that the bones are those of
two of the old Spanish residents OF this
section of the country who. unbeknown to
others, visited this spot to settle dis
pute and that they there fought till both
succumbed to their wounds and neither
was able to triumph over his foe.

LONELY HEN ADOPTS
LITTER OF KITTENS

THE DALLES, Ore. May PA moth
erly old hen belonging to a groceryman Of
this city has developed an unnatural liking
for litter of kittens and it is a strange
sight to see her spreading her protecting
wings over the four little furry feines.
Being refused permission to set on a
nest Of eggs and raise her own family, she
became very indignant one day and when
the mother of the kittens was out, she
walked over and usurped her place From
that time on she spent most of her time
with her adopted charges. Her only griev-
ance seems to be that. though she
scratches with will. the ungrateful kit
tens refuse to eat the food provided.

also established the first civil government
in the world, based upon absolute religious
tolerance. So, except for the restrictions
of very simple covenants, each Baptist
puts his own Interpretation upon the Bible,
and each Baptist church goes its own way
rs it sees tit.
But for the sake OF united effort in
the great matters of missions and church
extension there are general Baptist So
cieties to which each church gives support.
These societies are of immense importance.

United States. which is Baptist headquar-

There Is 81 0OOO000 900 in Baptist colleges
and schools.
The Baptists of this country were the
first to support missionaries in India. the
first in China, and to the Baptists of
America more than to all other denomin-
ations combined is due the fact that Japan
has a Christian civilization today.

the musical contributions of the Constbu-
larry band.
There are eighty-two numbers in the Or
ganization. and il the judgment of the most
competent musical critics in these Islands
is sustained, the band will prove not only
one of the most interesting but one Of
the most excellent at st. Louis.
Their weekly concerts on the Luneta in
this city have commanded the attention Of
the cultured, and draw crowds far in ex.
cess of those attracted by the regimentaI
bands, which occupy the band stands on
the other evenings of the week.
The band was organized little over two
years ago, and is composed exclusively OF
natives. with the single exception of the
leader, Lieutenant w IL Loving a colored
man. The reed section of the band is
exceptionally strong, both as to numbers
and the ability of the performers.
Lieutenant Loving is about 30 years Of
age, He is native of Minnesota. was
student in special class at Harvard, and
graduated from the Boston Conservatory Of
Music with honors. He came to the Philip
pines a- captain in one of the first volun-
teeT regiments to reach here i'll 1893.

WEAKNESS IN FAR EAST LONG FELL
Present Disturbances May Demand
Presence of Protecting Cruisers at
Any Time at Many Different
Points-ships Now Too Few.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Naval off;
cials are considering earnestly the
| strengthening of the American Asiatie
fleet On view of the vast interests OF
this country in the Philippines and III
China and Korea and the probability
that disturbances may necessltate
their protection at any time. vt the
same time that the feet is regarded as
| too small there is a desire to avoid ex-
| citing the suspicion of the old world
| powers, lest this government may be
| put in the false light of interfering In
the eastern struggle. Notwithstanding
| our declaration of absolute neutrality.
| A high naval officer said:
"The need of increasing the Asiatic
feet has long been felt. 1t was intend
ed that the new battleship Ohio, build
ing at the Union Iron Works, San
Francisco, should be sent to the Ash
attic station in the spring and that she
should be followed there by the ar
mored cruiser South Dakota and the
protected cruiser Milwaukee as soon as
these vessels are completed. The Ohio,
however, will not be ready before au-
tumn, and we are now considering the
dispatch within the next month or two
of an additional battleship. 1t has been
suggested that the Iowa be selected for
this mission, but no decision has been
reached. She is now receiving rush re-
pairs at the New York yard.
"In addition the Tacoma, which was
commissioned a short time ago and is
getting ready for sea, has been tenta-
lively selected to go to the Asiatic sta
ton as the relief of one of the vessels
of the cruiser squadron, but under
| present circumstances it is probable
that none of the cruiser squadron will
ships are added to it. It also has been
suggested that the New York, now at
Panama. be returned to the Asiatic
station and that she make the cruise
with the Tacoma. This is undecided,
and the uncertainty of the Panama sit
uation together with the fact that the
New York is due for a thorough over
hauling rather initiates against send
ing that vessel to join Admiral Evans
fleet.
$50 rapidly are events in the far east
moving that it is impossible to say one
day what move on the Asiatic station
the next days developments may dc
