A WOMAN
The Only Woman Who Received a Mil.
itary Commission in the Confeder-
ate Service-Her Noble Work as
Hospital Nurse.

The only woman who ever received
a commission as captain in the Con-
Ifederate army is now spending her
last days at the Home for Needy Con-
Ifederate Women in the city of Rich
mond, the city of her nativity.
The ~ex-captain was a Miss TOmp-
kins, and was % years Of age when
THE war broke out. At that time she
possessed a plenty of money n prop
ertv. She was thoroughly imbued
with the business of the Confederate
icause. and she vas determined to eX-
Iert herself to the utmost in behalf OF
that cause. Before the war Miss Tom
Dkins had nursed a relative who had
exDerienced severe gun-ShOt wounds
Her success in this Instance convinced
the young that she was tilted

tstruggle became fierce she opened up a
private hospital and maintained 1t
with her own funds for the benefit OF

Later On the Confederate authorities
decided to close up all private hos
Initials and send the men to the front,

Ishould be made a captain with full pay

Denver camped tonight in front Of
LaFuerza Castle facing the plaza de
Armas. the little park in front of the
presidential palace, which is the seat
OF the Cuban government. The Amer

low stone separating the castle grounds
from OReilly street, which thorough
fare passes between the caTnpa and the
plaza De Arnas. The American
sailors are armed with regulation
rifles with the exception of a few who
carry reVOlvers or carbines. Two field
HOwitzers n two rapid-fire gun
were sent ashore with the sailors and
now point across the pretty little park,
a significant warning to any Il ap-

intent.
The whole business was lone SO
quietly and quickly that it caused the
greatest surprise. The reason for the
sudden landing of the American sail

lent Palma, Charge d'A1aires Sleeper

formal call upon President Palma Mr..
