"A remarkable romance involving two

PhD, of Bengal, India, the well-known
Archaeological employed by the British

have been somewhat similar, DR.. Spooner
| and Miss Cotton have known each other
| Intimately for some years past, meeting
while studying at Berlin and Harvard and

Travelled extensively. Last week Miss

REYES LEAVESFOR
 MEXICAN SOIL

Havana, June 1.--General Bernardo Reyes, the former Mexican minister of war, who was recalled from Europe to Mexico to assist in the re-establish- ment of peace, left here this evening on board the steamer Furst Bismarck, bound for Vera Cruz.
 General Reyes reached Havana May 19 on his way from Europe to Mexico at the call of General Diaz, who had requested his aid to re-establish peace. Immediately on his arrival he received a message to await further instructions before proceeding.
 Later General Reyes received a mes sage couched In the most cordial terms from Senor De La Barra, who is now the provisional president of Mexico, and recent dispatches have quoted Ma dero as saying that if General Reyes came back to Mexico in favor of the new regime and willing to help in the upbuilding of the country he would be well received
 General Reyes himself has said that he was not seeking official preferment, but that it was possible he might be appointed to a cabinet office.

MEXICAN INDIANS
 START MORE WAR

Tucson, Ariz., June 1.-Several hum dred we'll armed Yaqui Indians have mobilized in the Yaqui river delta coun- try and are demanding the restoration of their lands. according to the state- ment of passengers on the train which arrived here from Mexico today.
 The lands in question are the site of an American colony organized by Los Angeles capitalists in which eastern capital has since become largely inter- ested.
 The Indians, it is said, began to gath CT in Cocorit near Corral Sunday night and made d demand for the surrender of the river towns of Esperanza, Bacum, Jori, Torin, Lencho and Portram, giving the Mexicans three days to surrender them and the surrounding country into their possession. It is feared failure to comply will bring on another Yaqui war and that many companies of Yaquis in the regular army will desert and join their countrymen in that event.

Monkey Has a Medal
the New York Press.

From the New ! ofk Press
 Nearly every warship has had pet aboard at one time or another, but very few of these animals have ever attained the distinction accorded to Jenny, the mascot of H. NJ. s. Vigilant, who served
 through the Abyssinian campaign and
 was discharged with service medal, suit ably inscribed with her name and rating, suspended by a silver chain about her hairy neck.
 Jenny was found in the Andaman Is- lands, where no monkeys were supposed to exist, and she belonged to new spe- cies Her body was covered with long, light gray hair much finer and silkier than the hair of the average simian; her head was unusually broad between the
 ears, her eyes larger than others of her kind, and her hands more like those of a human being.
 Jenny was about year old when cap tured, and at first was very wild, but from constant betting she quickly grew tame and took to life on the ocean wave like a duck to water. Every man aboard the ship, from Captain Brown down to the cook took turns at educating Jenny, and
 as she was amazingly intelligent it never needed more than two or three lessons to teach her what she must or must not do. She was permitted the run of the vessel, and never betrayed the trust reposed in
 her by an act of wanton mischief. Jenny
 showed marked fondness for something
 to nurse and pet, and adopted half grown chicken as her baby, rocking it in
 her arms for hours at time, much to the chickens disgust. When it died-prob- ably from too much affection-Jenny moped and was inconsolable. One of the sailors made a rag doll for her. but find ing it was not alive she promptly threw 1t overheard.
 She had her own hammock slung with the men and turned in when they did. She never was able to learn to lash her hammock though she made many at tempts to do so. She always was in her pactcular place at the mess table. ate with fork and spoon, drank from cup.
 and learned to like tea with milk and sugar. Her favorite dish was corn meal and molasscs. She also relshed a glass of grog and enjoyed a pipe. which she l filled and lighted without assistance. | Jenny showed no fear of firearms, and
 kept her station on deck when the bat teries were roaring When the Vigilanr
 reached England, after four years
 cruise and her crew was mustered out Jenny was presented to the London Zoo.
