isabella OF SPAIN is DEAD.
Grandmother of the King Passes Away
in Paris.

Paris.-Ex-Queen Isabella Of Spain,
grandmother of King Alfonso, died
here at 8: As O'Clock Saturday morning
of influenza, with complications. The
American embassy, which is opposite
the Palatta castle on the Avenue kle-
Der, the late queens residence, was
early informed of the queens death,
and Ambassador Porter was among the
first to call and sign the palace regis
ter. The infantas Isabella, Eulalie and
Marie, daughters Of the late queen,
were at the bedside when she died.
The queen had been afflicted with
the grip for two months, which gradu-
ally affected the lungs.
It is understood that King Alfonso
will not come to France for the flu
neral as he did not come for the flu
neral of his grandfather, King Francis,
who died in April, 1902.
The dead queen had been one of the
conspicuous figures of Paris since she
left Spain. After her abdication in
1870 she continued to live with queenly
magnificence here, giving Ia s2y to
charity and religious works.

SOUND INDIANS GAMBLE.
Some of the Indians Lost Everything
They Had.

Tacoma, Wash, April 14.-After a
BILE that the Indian tribes in this local
ity have had for years has come to a
close. The tribes participating were
the Nisquallys, Puyallups, the Mud
Bays, the SqauXon islanders, the Sko-
komish and the Indians from Hoods
canal.
In winning the game the Nisquallys
have come into much property of the
other tribes, and Alex Soughlet, MIS-
qually buck, who came in from the
camp, says that many of the losers bad
scarcely enough blankets left to keep
them warm. They wagered ponies,
dogs, blankets, wearing apparel, coon
skins, firearms and gewsaws Of all
sorts The gambling was in a large
shack on the Nisqually river, about
four miles above the Northern Pacific
bridge on the Olympia branch.
The disc was used in gambling. The
manipulation fumbles the disc through
two small piles of cedar bark, ground
fine. The Indians opposite guess which
side holds the disc. If correct, 1t
counts point for his side. They play
ed for 500 points.
Each of the tribes elected gambling
squad from among tne shreWdest ana
most experienced of their bucks. This
squad was subdivided into several
smaller squads Of six or eight each.
The gambling proceeded night and day
from the time it began, a week ago,
until the game broke up at daylight
this morning As the shifts of players
collapsed from WEAKNESS, hunger and
excitement a fresh squad took their
places.
Two or three times the visiting
tribes got as high as 200 and 300
points. when unlucky turns woulo start
their star of victory in A reverse di-
rection. It was only after week s
steady playing tnat the Nisquallys
reached the final point and gathered in
the accumulated stakes.

NOTES OF THE WAE.
Russians Refuse Big Loan-Will Use
Automobiles.

Admiral Makaroff is believed to have
gone out of Port Arthur with the
Russian squadron to meet the Japan
ese squadron, which is cruising near
there.
Admiral Togo, while not strictly
blockading Port Arthur, is believed to
be covering the movement of troops
to point at place remote from Port
Arthur. 1t is said that up to this
time no japanese transports have en-
tered the gulf of Pechili.
Russians at St. Petersburg are said
to fear a disaster in the far east. They
are dubious as to the success of Port
Arthur keeping the channel clear, and
experts believe the best plan will be
to send the Port Arthur squadron to
Vladivostock.
"he Cars ministry expects to have
half a million soldiers in Manchura
before the first of June. Paris learns
that armed forces at all other points
