TJesplte her eccentricities and her limited ability as an actress she has always been success wherever she appeared on tbe stage.

Her own personal conduct was, for the time being seemingly, above reproach: the" stage was forgotten, and finally tt was announced that she bad ambitions to become tbe "slum angel'' of London. Nevertheless, beneath this cover of seeming austerity, was a tale yet to be unfolded.

His swath among the fair sex in Manila was both wide and deep. In July the couple departed from New York and were next heard from in San Francisco, where they were elected from a hotel. About the middle of the month May Yohe sailed, for Hong-Kong in company with Captain Strong.

The strenuous efforts of friends were thwarted, and the Captain converted his assets Into money and got away on the Ship. -v Since that time they have been living luxuriously in Tokahama.

President Roosevelt spoke plainly to bis Cabinet regarding the Insubordination of Miles and tbe necessity for cutting abort hi mischief-making, not only In the army, but in tho administration. The President did not speak particularly of Miles testimony before; the Senate committee on military affairs yes-, terday. In which he attacked the Secretary of War and the Adjutant General for that te timony was given In executive session and could be excused as President Roosevelt reviewed the whole) career of Miles' Insubordination since the beginning of the war with Spain, and expressed Ms determination to stop It- He did not pro.
