Woman's power is largely dependent
upon her ability to interest, entertain, at
tract and please. It is for this reason iliat
women strive to become accomplished.
They study in order that they niav converse
intelligently on all subjects They strive
to become good musicians, graceful dan
cers and amiable hostesses.
All accomplishments are unavailing if a
woman suffers from ill health in a womanly
way. The special weakness peculiar to the
womanly oiganism, will rapidly wreck the
general health. The sufferer will lose her
natural vivacity, her wit, her good looks,
and the ambition and power to display the
accomplishments at her command. Any
woman affected in this way should resort
to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is
a wonderful medicine for ailing women It
is the invention of an eminent and skillful
phjsician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. V. It aims to cure but one class of dis
eases, and claims t<- be good for nothing
else. It imparts health, elastic strength,
vigor and virility to the delicate feminine
organs. It prepares a woman for wifehood
and motherhood.
Mrs. Ramon Sanchea, Pcnasco. Taoa County.
?f. Me* , in a letter to Dr. Pierce sav»: " From a
grateful heart my roice goes up to Ood both night
and day in a solemn prayer that He may guard
your healthand preserve your life. I hereovex
press my gratitude to you for the relief I nave
received from your wonderful medicine. ' Favor

SPANISH STORY OF MANILA.
Admiral Montojo'f AecoQßt of Hll Defaat
br Deary.
The ITorg Kong Papers contained inter
esting matter In regard to the battle of
Manila, which was not sent by cable.
It seems that the Spanish were in
tensely disgrusted that Admiral Dewey
should not have given formal warning
that he was going to enter Manila har
bor and that he shnuld have entered
it by the broad channel instead of by
the narrow channel, which had been
mined. The few shots which Admiral
Dewey's ships fired at the Corregidor
forts on the night they entered the
harbor killed forty-two men, although
the only target the .American gunners
had were the flashes of the Spanish
cannon.
The correspondent of the Hong Kong
China Mail, who went to Manila on the
British steamer Esmeralda, arrived on
the day after the battle. On May 3 he
had an Interview with the Spanish Ad
miral, Montojo, and obtained his ver
sion of the battle. It contains some
novel and interesting facts. The cor
respondent describes the Admiral as
"an old man about €5 years of age,
slight in stature, and in appearance
everything but warlike. He realized
my Ideal of an old Spanish grandee,
was cordiality itself, and talked with
frankness of Sunday's conflict." Ad
miral Montojo said his intention was
to go to Subig Bay and fortify it, but
he found that it would require at least
a month. So after spending a week
there he returned to Manila on April
30. Had Dewey started one day earlier
he would thus have caught the Span
ish fleet outside Manila harbor.
Admiral Montojo said he had re
quisitioned Madrid for ships and tor
pedoes, but had received neither, so
he laid the blame of his defeat on the
Spanish Government. In describing
the fight Admiral Montojo said:
"The Reina Cristina and Don Juan
d'Austria, as you know, were old cruis
ers; the Castella was a wooden cruisf-r,
but was unable to steam owing to the
breaking down of her engines. The
Don Antonio d'Ulioa and the Velasco
were helpless and were undergoing re
pairs off the arsenal. The Olympia,
Baltimore, Raleigft and Boston en
gaged my flagship in turn about 5.30,
attracted by my flag. I recognized the
necessity of getting under way and
slipped both anchors, ordering the
other ships to follow my example. Al*
though we recognized the hopelessness
of fighting the American ships we were
bu3y returning their fire. The Reina
Cristina was hit repeatedly.
"Shortly after 6:30 I observed fire on
my ship forward and our steering gear
was damaged, rendering the vessel un
manageable. We were subjected to a
terrific hail of shell and shot. The en
gines were struck and We estimated we
had seventy hits about our hull and
superstructure. The boilers were not
hit, but the pipe to the condenser was
destroyed. A few moments later I ob
served that the after part of the ship
was on fire. A shell from an American
ship had penetrated and burst with
deadly effect, killing many of our men.
My Flag lieutenant said to me:
" The ship is in flames. It is Im
passible to stay on the Cristina any
longer.*
"He signalled to the gimfcoat Isia
de Cuba and I and my etaff were
transferred to her and my flag was
hoisted. Before leaving the Cristina
my flag wa3 hauled down. My flagship
•was now one mass of flames. I ordered
away all boats X could to save the
crew. Many of the men Jumped over
board without clothing and succeed*!
in reaching shore, several hundred
yards away. Only a few men were
drowned, the majority being picked up
by the boats.
"Before jumping overboard Cap:.
Cadarse's son, a Lieutenant on board
the Cristina, saw his father alive on
deck, but others say that as the Cap
tain was about to leave a shell burst
over the ship and killed him. We es
timate that 02 men were killed on
board the Cristina and about 150
wounded. The chaplain was killed and
the assistant physician, the chief en
gineer and three officers were wound
ed. The boatswain and chief gunner
were both killed. In the Castella only
about 15 men were killed, but there
were many wounded both on the Cas
tella and the Don Juan >3'Austria, on
which 13 men were killed. Altogether,
so far as we know at present, 400 men
were killed ami wounded on our ahipa.
"As soon as I translated myself from
the Reina Cristina to the Isia de Cuba,
ail the American shots were directed
upon the Isia de Cuba, following my
flag. We sought shelter behind the
pier at Cavite, and, recognizing the
futility of fighting more, I prepared to
disembark, and gave orders for the
evacuation of the remainder of the
ships. The Castella had been on fire
from end to end for some time, and
was of course, already abandoned. The
Ulloa was also burning. My last sig
nal to the captains or ail the vessels
was 'Scuttle and. abandon yourshlps.' "
He said: "The Captain of the Boston
said to my chief of staff, Capt. Boado,
'You have cor.ibatted with us four very
bad ships, r»ot warships. There was
never seen braver fighting under such
unequal conditions. It Is a great pity
you exposed your Hves In vessels not
fit for fighting." Commodore Dewey
also sent me a message by the Kng
lish consul yesterday, saying that,
peace or war, her would great
pleasure in clasping me by the haaJ
and congratulating me on the gallant
manner in which we fought."
The illcyclr in War far*.
A new use for the bicycle in warfare
was developed during the recent bom
bardment. of San Juan. An account of
the bombardment from within the city
says that a volunteer corps of bicy
clists greatly aided the Spanish com
mander by acting as messengers be
tween the forts.

WEALTH IN MINE DEBRIS.
Old Profpector Mak j» a iortana Oat of
the •' Tailing*."
There are some men In this world
who have to toll for a mere apology
of a living—and then there are others.
One of these latter is Mr. Luce, of the
Cargo Muclmcho. Luce's experience
reads like a romance. For twenty
years he had knocked about the coast,
on the desert, in the mountains, pros
pecting and mining, and had finally,
by hard work and the closest economy,
managed to scrape together a few
hundred dollars.
One day on the shores of the Colo
rado some twenty miles north of Yu
ma. he met an old Mexican, who told
him of a deserted mine some ten miU*s
back from the river aud seven miles
north of Hedges. Luce's interest was
aroused, and he visited that mine, to
find there an abandoned twenty-stamp
mill which had pounded away for
many years and finally shut down.
Luce examined the property aud dis
covered that there was a small moun
tain of tailings, the accumulation of
rears, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these tailings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly
and estimated there was over 100.000
tons of the stuff there. That night he
wrote to the president of the com
pany in New York City offering ten
cfnts per ton for the tailings on a
basis of 100,000 tons. The president
read the letter, looked surprised, and
called the directors together. They
read the letter, looked wise, tapped
their foreheads significantly and
laughed to each other.
"This poor fellow Luce should be
called 'goose.' " said one.
'"X>esert's proved too much for him
-probably gone daft," observed an
ather.
Not one of them thought these tail
ing* w:e worth anything, and they
had almost entirely forgotten that okl
mine out on the Colorado desert. But
they answered the letter, telling Luce
to go ahead.
On receipt of the letter Luce irnuie
ilately erected a cyanide plant, costing
him about slo<> of his own and his
friends' money. Then he hired fifteen
Mexicans and ludians and began
work on these tailings. One day some
representatives of the mine company
were returning frotn San Francisco,
and passing through the desert, they
thought they would visit the mine.
"How are you?" said j-iuce. "Glad
to see you. By the way, we might as
well fix up our little accounts now
as at any time," and so saying he
threw the astonished Gothamites a
check for 510,000. Then he explained
that in the nine months he had been
running the cyanide plant he had
cleaned up ?45,000, and that there was
plenty of tailing in sight to net him
$200,000 within three years.
Word* of Sir Walter lle«ant.
Sir Walter Besant, writing In the
London Queen, says:
"A Spanish lady has written to the
.ditor of the paper concerning certain
remarks of mine about the sympathies
of the English race. I am very sorry
that any words of mine should have
given offense to any Spaniard. His
tory, however, cannot be set aside out
»f politeness. The Spanish nation
has always shown many great and
noble qualities; never at any time
have tliej' failed to command t*he re
spect of their enemies; but we cannot
help remembering that they were our
enemies from the middle of the Six
teenth to the beginning of the Nine
teenth Century; we stood tor freedom
of thought; they stood for authority;
we stood for the liberty of the people;
they stood for despotism. To recall
these facts, and all that they mean,
ought not to offend anyone. I take off
my hat with the greatest respect to
the Spaniard. 'Sir, you are a gentle
man by birth and long descent; you
are also a gentleman by breeding; you
are a gentleman of courage tried aud
proved, and of patriotism undoubted;
jrou are like Bon Quixote for honor and
for courtesy. But, sir, you do uot
think as we do; and in the present
crisis our sympathies are naturally
with the people who do think as we
30.' "
Need of Covering During Sleep.
The reason it is necessary to l»e well
covered while sleeping is that when
the body lies down it is the intention
Df nature that it should rest, and the
heart especially should be relieved of
Its regular work temporarily. So that
srgan makes ten strokes a minute less
than when the body is in an upright
position. This means <>oo strokes in
sixty minutes. Therefore, in the
?ight hours that a man usually spends
in taking his night's rest, the heart is
saved nearly 5,000 strokes. As it
pumps six ounces of blood with each

Coaling
fntil recently the coaling station has
been the unanswerable argument ot
all experts, real anil reputed." says tlic
New York World. "Modern war,"
they have said, "is naval war. To
carry on a naval war. you must have
bases of coal supply, and that means
that you must have coaling stations
scattered al>out tli«k world wherever
you may some day have to fight"
This certainly sounds like a "clinch
er." But the events of this war have
already shown several facts which
ha\< attracted a respectable and grow
ing group of experts away from the
coaling station theory.
For instance, our fleet off Santiago
lias coaled in heavy weather from
transports that were enabled to lie
alongside of the warships by an in
genius system of fenders Invented not
lon-z ago. In the second place, Dewey,
having no coaling station, seized oue
at Cavite. and it is pointed out that
the enemy could not possibly defend
all his coasts so effectually that no
harbor could be seized and fortified
and made into a coal depot.
Against the permanent coaling sta
tion it is pointed out that It Is a vast
expense In time of peace. .liat it may
be remote from the scene of hostili
ties. that it must be powerfully de
fended by fleets and forts both in
time of peace and in time of war.
A floating coaling station, a fleet of
colliers, can go with the fleet wher
ever the campaign may lead, is just
as easily defended as a naval station
with its protecting fleet, and is a
smaller expense in war and no ex
pens* at all in peace.
The question is still open. But It Is
not improbable that England's much
praised "far-sighted policy of estab
lishing coaling stations everywhere"
may turn out to have been much over
praised.

Upon entering a port, a warship sa
lutes with twenty-one guns the flag
of the nation she Is visiting, and then
the flags of any foreign Admirals who
may be there. Every salute is an
swered. gun for gun. The following
table shows the proper salute for the
various subjects named:
Guns.
Nations, rules of nations. Ambas
sadors and members of royal
families 21
Vice President of the United

Army officers are entitled to the
same salutes as the corresponding
grades in the navy, a Brigadier Gen
eral, for instance, who ranks with a
Commodore, getting eleven guns.
Salutes are never fired before 8 a. m.
or after sunset. A vessel arriving dur
ing the no-saluting hours must wait
until the proper time l>efore she can
blaze away. Nor are salutes fired
when wash clothes, awning or other
canvas are triced up to dry. These
must always be lowered first.
(iennan t'n<ler«tan<linK <>l Receiver.
A case was in one of the Cincinnati
courts that involved a receiver for a
building association. The plaintiff
was a highly respected German who
knew what he wanted, but in some
manner the attorney had not taken
the steps that his client desired.
When the plaintiff was on the stand
his attorney examined him at length.
During the examination the old gen-
tleman became excited aud answered
the questions in such a way that the
Judge was under the impression that
he didn't thoroughly understand the
questions and answers. He declared
that be dldu' want a receiver, that he
didn't want his attorney to take the
step, and that all he wanted was his
money.
At this point the Judge suggested
tlint the court interpreter be sent for,
that the German might make himself
more clearly understood. But he de
clared that he understood what he
wanted, and that was his money, and
if he failed to get it he would kill
himself.
To ascertain if he knew what ho
wanted the Judge said:
"Do you know what a receiver is?"
"Yes, sir; I do, sir," said the honest
German. "He vos der man vot gits
der monish und I gits nottings."
This convinced the Judge that the
plaintiff knew quite well what he
was talking about. So the interpreter
was dispensed with for the time be
ing, at least.
"I guess," said the Judge, in con
clusion, "he knows about as much
about a receiver as we do."
