A special to the Herald from Madrid says a news paper there publishes the following details of the operations in Cavite: In conformity with the plans of Gen eral Polavieja, which up to the present have been realized in all respects, Col onel Barraquer attacked an advantage ous rebel position at Pamplona. Tbe fortifications at Pamplona are most im portant. There are p- large number of rebels gathered there, it is said, 3000 in all, with firearms. The enemy defended themselves with great courage, maintaining a heavy fire for three hours.' 'Thty weakened finally under flank; attacks and com menced -to- dtspcfsd.JrAttdclei-Ir bayonet and harangued by the 'rebel leaders, they rallied on tho defense and were more obstinate than ever. It was then that tbe Spaniards met with most of their losses, 20 killed and 70 wounded. The rebels were evidently completely routed, and they lost over 400 men, mostly killed with the bayonet.

Bow a St. Paul Belle Harried Her Chosen Love. St. Paul, Feb. 19. For three years the parents of Grace Alice Warner have been seeking to prevent her mar riage to George D. Cochran, son of Judge Cochran, the well-known rail road man of Toledo, O., but they have been outwitted. The Warner girl is the beautiful daughter of Reuben Warner, a mem ber of one of the largest wholesale firms of St. Paul. Three years ago Cochran, then a stenographer for the president of the Northern Pacific rail road, began to pay attentions to Miss Warner, but her parents objected and sent her to school in Paris. Last fall Cochran went to Trail, B. C, to live, and Mies Warren's parents called her home. Letters passed between the young persons, those to Miss Warren biing mailed to a neighbor and deliv ered to her without exciting suspicion. On Tuesday Coohran arrived from British Columbia, met Miss Warner and arranged a wedding. The mother and an eider eister of Miss Grace were induced to attend a matinee Weanes- Airr of. rra rf r.liA 1nfil t.Vion r.na Y' Vi n they were gone Cochran and a minis- ter appeared at the house and the mar- riaga occurred at tbe home of the bride's parents, in spite of the oppo sition.

The state ment of tbe financial condition of the state treasury of Nebraska shows that ex-State Treasurer J. S. Bartley, re publican, has a deficit staring him in the face of $o00,000. Coupled with this is an item of $27,000 which ex-State Auditor Eugene V. Moore, also repub lican, needs to account for in order to balance his books. When the panic of 1892 struck Ne braska Bartley deposited large sums in various state banks to help them through. Several of these subsequent ly failed. Others were pressed so closely tba' it was impossible to dis charge the obligation. Bartley says that in time every cent will be paid. Tbe shortage in Moore's account has not so far been explained. 819 BE DOESN'T CARE. Senotor Mitchell Expresses Himself on the Situation. Salem, Or., Feb. 21. Today has been a very quiet one. Nearly all the members left tbe city Saturday and mcst of them will not return till to morrow. There is no change in the situation. Senator Mitchell tonight said sub stautially that so far as ho was person ally coucerned, he did not care whether he was returned to tho United States senate or not. He had served three terms already, and was content to retire on his record if it should be decided that the interests of the state could be better served bv some one else. It was very essential, though that a republican senator should be elected at this time, and he was per fectly willing that any ono of a dozen good republicans who might bo named should be chosen. They are so small that the most, sen sitive persons take them, they are so effective that ibe most, obstinate caes of constipation, headache and torpid liver yield to them.

Some shells fell in the town of Canea, rais ing clouds of dust It is rumored sev eral persons were killed and wounded. Wheu firing ceased, the Greek flag was still flying over the insurgent camp. London, Feb. 21. A dispatch to tho Daily News from Canea, dated Sunday, says: Smart firing was heard today in the hills to tho eastward. The reply of the Turks was feeble, and it was obvious that they must abandon their position f pressed. The gun practise from the redoubt on the outer lines was ludi crous. The chief Cretan position was a hamlet on a ridge of hills 4000 yards from the flagship. At 4:30 this afternoon signals were made to II. M. S. Dryad, H. M. S. Sparries and H M. S. Revenge, to gether with one Italian, one German and one Russian ship, to open fire upon the Cretan position whore the Greek flag was hoisted some days ago. The British ships fired 40 and the foreign ships 30 shells at the village, and ruin ed the house held by the Cretans. The flag was soon lowered, and the order "cease firing" sounded after ten min utes. Thereupon, the flag was re hoisted. The rocks around were crowded with Cretans. The Turks, encouraged by the fleet, now opened a lively fusilade, while the Ctetans were removing the wounded The Cretans had not replied during the whole per formance. It was a somewhat melan choly spectacle.

Alleged I'ucanny Experience of Detective Inspector Williams. St. Louis, Feb. 22. Inspector Wil liam H. Williams, of the city detective force department, is a gentleman above reproach, and his word has never been doubted. Last evening he handed a note to Chief of Detectives Desmond which astonished that veteran. The note stated that last Saturday night while ha (WiUiams) was asleep in his room on the third floor of the Four Courts, he was visited by a ghost which awakened him and stated he had but a short time to live. The spook advised him to prepare for death. The visitor vanished through a closed door. Williams spent yesterday in arrang ing his worldly affairs. He has made his will, arranged for pallbearers and written farewell letters. Corroborative of Williams' story is the testimony of John Stevens, janitor of the building, who says he encoun tered the ghostly visitor as it passed through the hall. There is no ques- tloning the belief of the inspector in the reality of the visitor and the warn- 1 ing, and there is no disposition among ( his associates to ridicule him.

A PAYING INDUSTRY. , Renting Out l!ntl loj to Protect Prey erty In vumiuer. liulldofr Douglas is a character la the suburbs of this city, says the Wash ington Star. Hut it is not of B. D. sal much as his occupation one wants to speak. The latter is peculiar and alto gether a suggestion of Kulldog Doug las, lie it known that liulldog Doug las is the proprietor of a multitude of bulldog's, all of whom he dearly loves.; Just as a miser might love and hoard money, just so does Douglas go on through life amassing and hoarding bulldogs. He can't, to his notion, have too many of these bellicose chat tels. At last it would appear as if he had found a use for them. The idea had suggestion to him because of the expenso of maintaining his canine standing army. He must find some thing for them to do. The other day a gentleman met Bulldog Douglas to. ing a felonious-looking dog at the end of a rope. "Just hired out another dog," re marked Douglas, delightedly, pausing and looking fondly on his vicious pet. "v hat do you mean by that?" queried the gentleman. ' liulldog Douglas then advanced an explanation. Many of the resident of u aslungton leave town for the summer. As a protection to their houses during their absence liulldog Douglas rents tln'tn a savage dog, warranted to tear (he hind leg off a burglar or a tramp at the drop of the hat. Bent, per dog, three dollars per month. Dulldog Douglas stakes out the canine sentry in the back yard with the rope long enough to allow him to patrol the w hole rear of tho house. Then when the burglar appears the dog mingles with him and the burglar soon aiter vrard hurries away. The inventor of this unique patrol for back yards claims great things for his system. During the summer season he puts out sonic two scores of dogs to hire after this fashion, liulldog Douglas makes the rounds once a day and 'bestows wa ter and rations on the dogs. They do the rest. It's a novel industry and dur ing the touring months liulldog Doug las declares it to be a paying one. . j SHE LOVES THE FRENCH. i That Is Why Queen Victoria Is Bo Pern' lur In Franca. The great popularity enjoyed !by Queen Victoria in France is. due ot only to her vrorld-rccoguiicd firtutts," both as an exemplary Morciirn and an exemplary woman, but also to the , knowledge of her extreme fondness for the French nation and French people generally, says the New York Journal.
