, usual gay hues, and all the world and
bis wife have gone boating on the pic
turesque reaches- Yet, at its murky
mouth, miles from where the countless
parties hunt and row, there has been
reaped from its muddy waters a har
vest of death extraordinarily large for
this stream of tragedies. Within the
last two days the police report finding
no less than seven bodies. One lies at
Greenwich, unidentified; another at
Rotherhlthe, that of a woman of the
hawker class. So far only two have
been ld;;ntlfl?d. The others probably
never w 111 be, and this brief record of
flotsam and Jetsam in the greatest city
cf the world of accident, suicide and
possible murder, causes no comment,
but Is stuck away In a corner of an
afternoon paper, headed "Mysteries of
the River."
The Ascot race meting, which oc
curs next week, promises to be large
ly attended and doubtless will be mark
ed by a continuation of the successes
of American jockeys. The Prince of
Wales, as usual, will be present, besides
tnany other royalties, while many oth
er American visitors now in England
have arranged to view what Is known
as the "Royal Meeting"
The serious condition of Mrs. Glad
stone has caused Mr. T. P. O'Connor,
member of parliament, to write to
"Mainly About People," giving some
hitherto unpublished reminiscences of
the aged partner of the great states
man. "Just after their marriage." ;
Bays O'Connor, "Mr. Gladstone, who
had already been minister, asked her,
Shall I tell you nothing, and you can
Bay anything, or shall I tell you every
thing and you say nothing?' She
chose the latter, and he told her every
thing and she never told anything."
On the fiftieth anniversary of ttVlr
wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone went
to a reception at an old friend's house.
"When It began to get late," says Mr.
O'Connor, "Mr. Gladstone went over
to his wife and, with an expression of
sweetness and tenderness, took her by
the hand ,as though she were a little
Child that had to be reminded that It
was time to go to bed. and led her out
cf the room. It was a sight that might
well have brought tears."
These and other anecdotes bear out
fully the previous accounts of the in
tense affection existing between the
great liberal leader and his wife, and
also point to the fact that Mrs. Glad
stone exercised a more powerful politi
cal Influence over her husband than
generally credited.
Thos who believe that Great Brit
ain's navy would, in case of war, prove
nearly as full of anachronisms and
mismanagement as the South African
campaign proved the army to be, have
received additional confirmation of
their fears by reason of the severe
stricture passed by the admiralty upon
the irregularities of the target prac
tice, and reports thereon, among the
fleets now In commission. The admlr-

cular to all the commanding officers,
the admiralty says:
"Practice seems to have been carried
on without a supervision; the commls
tloned targets were not properly check

from another ship."
Such a serious reprimand is likely to
have the desired effect of enforcing the

NEW YORK, June 9. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The last Information received here
shows that President Steyn Is at Beth
lehem. He has a small band of des
perate men with him, but the great
body of the burghers In the northeast
of the Orange river colony appear to
be heartily sick of the war.
The mystery enveloping the fate of
the British prisoners at Waterval had
not been explained officially at midnight,
General French ought to have reached
Waterval Tuesday or Wednesday, and
to have released at least 3,000 prison
ers. If only 1000 were carried east by the
Boers. But General Roberts has re
mained silent respecting this Import
ant detail. The motive of the Boers
In taking off the prisoners Is obvious.
While the prisoners are with them
there will be less risk of starving out
the Boers themselves by the seizure of
Komatlpoort or the Investment of Ly
denburg. They are hostages for the
protection of the burghers against
starvation, and increase their resources
for drawing the British government
into negotiations of some kind.
Rundle's and Methuen's operations
against President Steyn at Bethlehem
remained unexplained. A reconnal
sance In force occurred on Tuesday,
and there was some skirmishing.
LONDON, June 9. A special dis
patch from Durban. Natal, says the
Boers at Lalng's Nek, after an action
fought June 7, offered to surrender
conditionally but Buller replied that
their surrender must be unconditional.
General Forestier-Walker cables to
the war ofllce from Cape Town, under
date of June 8, as follows:
"Kelly-Kenny, at Bloemfonteln, re
ports that the telegraph has been cut
at Roodeval, north of Kroonstad, and I
am reinforcing from Cape Colony. I
hope the interruption will be only tem
porary." FILIPINO LEADER CAPTURED.
Important Dispatches Received at

WASHINGTON, June 9. A dispatch
from Manila says:
General Plo del Pilar, the most ag
gressive and most persistent of the
Filipino leaders, who was captured last
nlht, as has been cabled to the Asso
ciated Press, was made a prisoner at
Guadaloupe, six miles east of Manila,
by some of the Manila native police.
Upon Information received that Plo del
Pilar was to be at a certain house,
Captain Lara and twelve policemen
proceeded In a launch to Guadaloupe,
where, aided by a detachment of the
Twenty-first Infantry, they surrounded
the house, captured the general and
brought him to Manila this morning,
where he was positively Identified by
the Provost Marshal.

Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthy,
active person helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves ; or it may be slow in
developing, with slight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable : the ten-
food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to develop
in early life, but more often not until middle age or later. In whatever form, whether acute or chronic,

General MacArthur has cabled the
war department regarding the capture
of General Plo del Pilar, as follows:
Manila, June 9 Native police cap

Pilar, this morning. He was found
lurking in the neighborhood of San

General Schwan't estimate of the Im
portance of this news U contained In
this statement:
"The capture of General Ho del
Pilar, cabled by MacArthur thlo morn
ing, Is a most Important one. Pilar
was regarded as one of the most ac
tive and uncompromising of the rebel
chieftains. That his capture has been
effected by the native police of Manila,
a body numbering some four hundred,
is evidence afresh of the loyalty of
these men to the American cause."

GENERAL OITS LENIENT.
He Commutes the Death Sentence of
Three Native Murderers.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Newspaper
reports Just received at the war de
partment show that three natives were
convicted by a military commission of
having murdered Quartermaster-Sergeant
Albert Volterle, company K,
Thirty-Ninth volunteer Infantry, at
the Barrio of Ragbag, near Tanunn,
In the province of Batangas, on Feb.
2, and were sentenced to death by
hanging.
In passing upon the case General
Otis, as the final reviewing authority,
said that the findings of the commis
sion were fully sustained by the evi
dence, and that the death sentence Im
posed by It had the express sanction
of the laws of war. He was, however,
unwilling to direct the execution of the
sentence, as he believed that the ac
cused wera Influenced to commit the
crime of which they were convicted by
local guerilla chiefs, who, he said,
were the principal criminals In the
affair. Moreover, he sahj, the prisoners
were Ignorant of the legal consequences
of their act. Therefore, he commuted
the sentence In each case to 20 years'
Imprisonment at hard labor In the
Presidio de Manila.

truth Is that there was no such threat,
but merely a courteous request from

as to the case, the parties concerned
having mode complaint to him- The
Jefs ulso courteously declined to fur

the conduct of the captain, who could
have nothing to do In a matter now
