D., March 2.— About two months ago a gentleman of this city answered an advertisement in a matri monial paper which save the descrip tion of a charming young lady with the usual "Object, pleasure and possible matrimony." ' The correspondence developed rap idly until the gentleman became infatuated and proposed mar riage, which was promptly accepted. Photographs were exchanged, and the Im, .llsive gentleman could scarcely wait the day appointed for the mar rlage. In one of the lady's long mis sives she intimated that she desired a watch. The gentleman procured an expensive lady's gold watch and pre sented it to her. Other costly gifts were sent the lady. A few months ago the letters from the lady became chilly, and the gentleman, becoming unseasy, wrote to friends in the lady's home. He was greatly shocked to leant that the lady was to be married to another man in a few days. The Lead man Implored her to give up the other mar riage, and offered her money to come 1 1 ► Lead.

INDIANAPOLJS, Ind., March 2.— Ten days ago little Dan Wallingford, aged seven years, purchased 48 cents' worth of stamps and forwarded them to Secretary Long, with the request that the money be used for building a new battleship to replace the Maine. Since the publication of young Walling lord's patriotic expression, numerous congratulatory letters from different parts of the country have been re ceived at the Wallingford home. The last letter to come is a reply from Sec retary Long, and is as follows: My dear little patriotic lad: I have your letter and twenty-four two-cent postage stamps, inclosed with it, with which you have so generously taken from your spend ing money and given it to your country. There is not so much need for help in build ing battleships as there is for the relief of the poor sufferers on tho Maine. I have therefore given the stamps to Mrs. Ellen Stewart, o. 1315 New Hampshire avenue Washington, D. C. who is treasurer of a society of ladies who are colle.ting money for the benefit of those sufferers, and I have asked her to send you a letter of acknowl edgment.

WASHINGTON, March 2.— Chairman Boutelle, of the«house comniltta en na val affairs, has not. yet .submitted to his committee the letter he received last Friday from Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, asking for the passage of a special act authorizing thc enlistment of 1,500 additional men and boys in the navy. The subcommittee on naval affairs In charge of the regular appropriation bill had already agreed 'upon an in crease of the enlisted men by 1,250, bringing the total of enlisted men up to X.,000. The sentiment of the house cemmitte - , is extremely liberal, and Mr. Foss, of ; Illinois, a member of the committee. j said today that if the navy department [ asked for a special act and that ques tion was officially submitted to the ! committee he had no doubt that it | would receive indorsement by the com j mittee. Action on the question of ships and dry docks will be largely influenced by the outcome of the investigation into the Maine disaster. It has already been practically de cided that the price which the secre tary of the navy shall be authorized to pay for armor plate for the ships now approaching completion shall be $400 per ton but no formal vote has yet been taken on this proposition by the subcommittee. The work of the sub committee as far as it has gone is now be.ng reviewed and ratified by the full committee. Thus far the subcommit tee's action has not been revers d. The full committee has ratified the action of the subcommittee in recom mending an increas? of $100,000 for ord nance and ordnance stores, bringing the total appropriaiton for this item up to $300,000 besides the appropriations of $25,000 for converting eix-inoh guns into rapid-fire guns, $45,000 for capping ar mor piercing shells and $50,000 for the manufacture of cartridge-making ma 7 chinery (the latter apprporiation to go to the ordnance factory). An appro priation of $273,000 to inc. ease the speed of the Chicago and to replace her old guns with rapid-fire batteries is also recommended and an appropriation of $250,000 for reserve torpedoes and ap. pliances. The increase in the number of enlist ed men recommended by the subcom mittee has not yet been considered by the full committee. A significant in crease voted by the full committee re lated to the appropriation for the naval militia. Heretofore $3*ooo has been carried by the appropriation bill for the militia. A delegation representing the milit'a was here recently and asked a slight additional appropriation and th > committee voted an increase of $10,000, making the total appropriation $60,00o! MONEY FOR POWDER. The il.iisc Will Prohnhly Agree to the Semite Increase. WASHINGTON, March 2.— The pres ent indications are that the senate amendment to the fortifications appro priation bill, in regard to ammunition will be retained in the bill when com pleted. The conference between the representatves of the two houses has not yet been held, but there have been some informal meetings of the confer ees, at which some of the house mem bers indicated a willingness to allow the increase made by the senate to stand, and at which the senate confer ees announced their intention to stand firmly for the increase, because of tha strong representations of Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, of its necessity. There appears to be some possibility that some of the house conferees may not be willing to accede to the increase, bust the senators express the opinion that, if the bill should go back to the house, that body would concede the in crease, and so strongly are they of the opinion that the senate provision will go into the law that they have advised the war department to proceed upon that understanding. The amount car ried for this purpose by the senate bill is $950,618, while the house bill carries only $391,000. ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA? Some Requirements That Will Be Found Indispensable. The universal article of diet in that country, depended upon and indispen sable, is bread or biscuit. And to make the bread and biscuit, either in the camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be used— it must be baking powder; and the powder manufactured by the processes of the Royal Baking Powder Company, miners and prospectors have learned, is the only one which will stand ln that peculiar climate of cold and dampness and raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily. These facts are very important for every one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yukon country to know, for should he be persuaded by some out fitter to take one of the cheap brands of baking powder, lt will cost just as much to transport it, and then when he opens it for use, after all his labor in packing it over the long and diffi cult route, he will find a solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled powder, with no strength and useless. Such a mis take might lead to the most serious results. Alaska is no place in which to experiment in food, or try to econ omize with your stomach. For use in such a climate and under the trying and fatiguing conditions of life and labor in that country, everything must be the best and most useful, and above all it is imperatve that all food sup plies shall have perfect keeping quali ties. It is absurd to convey over such difficult and expensive routes an arti cle that will deteriorate in transit, or that will be found when required for use to have lost a great part of its value. There is no better guide to follow in these matters than the advice of those who have gone through similar experi ence. Mr. McQuesten, who is called "the father of Alaska," after an experi ence of years upon the trail, in the camp and in the use of every kind of supply, says: "We find in Alaska that the importance of a proper kind of baking powder cannot be overestimat ed. A miner with a can of bad baking powder is almost helpless in Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and have been obliged to settle down to. use nothing but the Royal. It is stronger and car ries further, but above all things it is the only powder that will endure the severe climatic changes 6f the Arctic region." It is for the same reasons that the United States government in its relief expeditions, and Peary, the famous Arctic traveler, have carried the Royal Baking Powder exclusively. A GOOD WINTER REMEDY!

Instead of t-Tie battle being a Spanish victory, as rep resented from Havana, it was, a disas trous defeat, followed by g, retreat on the part of the Spanish forces. This' information comes through Cuban; sources, and is thf. cause for a great amount of rejoicing in Cuban circles, because the guns and ammunition] shipped from Long Island less than a month ago were used in the fight. The Cuban loss In the five days' fight, Ing was less than fifty killed. Op the 1 fifth day, the Spanish columns retreat^ ed, carrying thejr wounded to Holguin and leaving 200 dead on the field. The real Spanish loss will never b_{ known, as the dead and wounded were taken from the field at right. It is' estimated that nearly 1,000 were killed and wounded. From word received from Holguin it was learned that there were several companies almost annlhU lated by the Cuban fire. Other letters from the Cuban army report it in good condition, and one from ex-President Cisneros stated that the whole eastern portion of the island is safe in control of the Cuban cIYII government. The ex-president says he is to be appointed postmaster general, and tells of plans for postal service 34 though there was no war on the island. CASTOniA.
