THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1896—TWELVE PAGES. AN ENGAGEMENT, gee BY SIR ROBERT PEEL _——— (Copyright, 1896, by Sir Robert Peel.) (Continued from Thursday’s Star.) SYNOPSIS. Arnold Hopetoun, a clerk on a small sal- ary in the foreign office at London, is en- geged to be married to handsome Bella Carstairs, who, with her mother, is obliged to keep up appearances in very reduced circumstances. Bella believes that she loves Arnold, but is unwilling to marry him until he gets a more lucrative position, which his influentia! uncle, Lord Drilling- ham, has promised to obtain for him. Lord Drillingham neglects the matter and Ar- “es 19 Hello that he and his cousin Kate, Lord Drillingham’s daughter, pretend to be engoged, with the idea of in- creasirg his uncle’s interest in obtaining an appointment. She consents and he goes down to Deercourt to arrange the matter with Kate. Kate agrees, Drillingham ap- proves of the engagement, and _bestirs himself about the appointment. He ob- tains the offer of an important position in Canada, but Bella refuses to go to Canada. Kate calls on Bella and endeavors to per- suade her, but in vain. Kate is piqued, realizes that she loves Arnold and deter- mines to win him from Bella. PART V. He did not return to town on the mor- row, although he had intended doing so. He did not- return on the next. day but one. He remained at Deercourt @ week, in fact, and during the Week he discovered an astonishing truth, he discovered that he did not want to marry Miss Carstairs at all. = Had Kate fulfilled her vow, or had des- tiny fulfilled it for her? In either case Hopetoun was in love with her, and fierce- ly, desperately. After the scene in the yellow drawing room—it had been in the yellow drawing room that she provoked him—she had re- frained from teasing him any more, but the recollection stayed with him, neverthe- less, and in moments he was angered with himself, both for having strayed into his present fickleness of mind and for having omitted to kiss her as he threatened. However, loving his cousin or not, he was in honor bound to Bella, and fifty times he determined to leave Deercourt at once, and broke his resolution before the train start- ed. He had no intention of confessing his weakness, and he was frightened that Kate might suspect it. He did not want to leave her, he did not want to be false to Bella. Hs condition, was, m a word, unenviable. One afternoon he decided absolutely to go. He had smoked at least six cigars since breakfast and thrashed the thing completely out “If I stay any longer,” said Hopetoun to himself, “I shall assuredly end by tell- ing her I'm fond of her. That I shall be fond of her here or there is true enough, but away from her I may recover my rea- jivpetoun Gees to the Dogs. son, at the present stage, and, if I stop, I shall get to care for her so infernelly that time will do nothing for me. Hang that absurd Inspiration of mine! I'll never Play with fire again as long as I live!’ She was; in the grounds, lying in a ham- mock, and he went to her with a firm step. “Kate,” he said, “I'm going back to town he said, “are you?” “Yes,” said Hopetoun, “so be nice to me this afternoon and put your book down.” “What am I to do then?” “Talk.” “What beautiful weather we're having.” “Don't be irritating,” he said, “talk— talk properly.” “About yourself, I Suppose you. mean. ae always an interesting subject to a “‘ boy, how old are you, Kate— forty?” : “Forty years older than you, I sometimes think.” “I remember you,” he said, musingly, “when you were a pinafcre and open-work socks, and vsed to make yourself sticky at dessert.” “Tt isn’t true.” “You were a nice girl then. You've al- nicer.” * he remarked, word which, as you once informed me, may mean many things. ‘Nicer,’ the compara- tive, I knew not.” “Nicer?” Well, I am ‘nicer!’ All is said * * *-Are you really going to forsake us tonight?” fter dinner. I'll g> up by the 9:15.” ”* he said, “I have to! Shall you miss Why?” “Yes, I suppose we shall at first. But the Hawksleys are coming next week, and the Kingstons. The house will begin to fill directly. Do you know Percy Kingston?” “I believe I've met him. A pink man, with a single eyeglass, and a perennial cornflower in h's buttonbole?” “T should not describe him like that. He's very clever." “Oh, is he?- Is he coming, too?” “Yes, of course, and his sisters, Emmie and Adeline, and papa expects one or two people who may be useful for you.”” ‘Hot’ he said. “But why did you ask if I'd met Percy Kingston? You aren't—' “Don't be so ridiculous,” she murmured. “Mayn’t a girl ask a question?” Her ton2 did not allay his misgiving. She was nothing to him—never could be—but he shculd not like to see her throw herself away on Hon. Percy Kingston. That would hurt him! us talk about something else,” he “What were you reading?” He picked the book up. “Rossetti!” “Yes, Rossetti, but please don’t let us talk about poetry; it would be too dreadful with you!” “A stranger would certainly know we were cousins,” he said. “It has been thongh by some people that I possessed a fairly wide acquaintance with the work of the Frelish poets.” “Really said Miss Drillingham, “but it was not the extent of your reading I doubt- ed, it was your capability for criticism.” “We seem unhappy in our choice of sub- jects this afternoen, don’t we? How about dogs?” She was undeniably aggravating, and to- day of all others, when he had been anx- jovs to carry away a last pleasant impres- ston. ‘If you'll excuse me,” he observed, “T'll A: out to the kennel and look at them. Al- low me.” ‘The book had fallen. He restored it to her and lounged away, and until dinner they did not meet again. At the tabie her manner had altered. She ws rad ant and charming, as if to amend. He had never found his uncle so de trop. He contemplated her raptly. The dress she was wearing was new to him, and he thought how admirably it became her. A Lttle spot of color burned in either check, and her eyes were brilliant. He marveled that Drillingham did not think it strange for him to de leaving her this evening. What man, having the right to stay, could have parted from her thus? How intermin- able the meal was! Would it last forever, or would he have a chance of a word alone with her before the dogcart came round? He often remained with his uncle, smok- ing, but tonight he did nog. Kate rose at lest, and smiled on him as he held open the door for her. “T’ll go and see to my traps, sir,” he said, “if I may. I haven't much time to lose.” Dr.lingham bowed indulgently. He also kad been in love more than once. In fact, it had been said of him that his love affairs were the only ones he had ever prosecuted with any enerzy Kate was leaning over the baleony when Hopetoun joined het Her pale dress gleam=i in th> moonli and her face and ir were mysterious, divine. “I've come to say good-by,” he said. Te sald. et “is a feminine’ “So soon?’, she answered. “Not yet, surely?” “But yes! In five minutes I must be off. Kate, I am sorry I was huffy in the gar- den.”* “Dear boy!” she said. “It was I who was disagreeable.’ ‘They viewed the sleeping flowers and trees in a moment's silence. The heavy odor of the roses floated up to them on the peeee and there was something of magic “You are never disagreeable,” he said, answering her after the pause, “you are only too sweet.” At another time she would have replied “Kate, I love you.” mockingly—he half dreaded she would do so —but this evening she did not. “IT have many faults,” she said, in a half ‘I have not seen them.” ‘No? * * * You will make me vain!” Because I praise you?” Perhaps!” “How heavy was the roses’ scent—it went to his brain! How exquisite was her beauty in the starlight—it bewildered him! Her white fingers lay on the baluszrade and his own covered them. She did_ not draw them away. For a breathless instant Hopetoun aban- dcned himself mutely to the ecstasy of touching her. No more, no less! He dared not clasp them close, although he yearned to do so. She might be offended, and then he would lose what he had. He could feel his heart beating, and next she looked up at him and drew away—yet Adorable rebuke! A madness filled Kate, I love you! It was said. He was not sorry—he was exultant, proud. ‘I love you!’ he repeat- I worship you. Oh! Kate, you know all—will you have pity on me?” “Hush,” she said; “hush; what are you saying?” “I love you! Care for me. without you, Kate!’ His arm enfolded her. Her head lay back on his shoulder and he kissed her once, twice, on the lips. “You will be my wife?” he said. You are engaged!” “She is nothing to me—you are all.”” “It is wicked!’ - «Kate, I can’t help it-it would be wicked- er to keep my word to her now.” “No, no." “Yes and yes!” He kissed her again. “It Is too late, see, I—I kiss you—will you send me from. you to make love to Miss Carstairs? I belong to you—you belong to me. Say it.” “I can’t say it,” faltered Miss Drilling- ham, “l am ashamed.” I can’t live “Why? The fault is mine.” She shook her head. fe “You angel, nothing! wife. “Mine! you reproach yourself for tell me you will be my Kate, she-said, sharply, “it is impossi- You love me, don’t you? * * * a lit- “Go away,” she answered. Hark! It was the wheels of a dogcart crushing the gravel on the drive. Hopetoun heard the sound in dismay. “Tell me you love me,” he persisted. She hung back with something like laugh- ter. “You have kissed me three times,” she said, ‘and I have let you; what is it yqu want to know?” 5 He caught her to him with delight. No thought of Miss Carstairs disturbed nim any longer, his struggles were over—he had failed, and was joyful in the failure. Sh! The door in the room opened; Soames came in to inform them that the dogcart was waiting. ~ “t shan’t want it,” said Hopetoun, turn- ing. “I have cha my mind, and I am not going up.” (To be continued tomorrow.) ———ee CUBANS LOST THEIR POSITION. The Spaniards Storm the Insurgent Post on Mount Manjua ‘The column of troops commanded by Col. Molina, in the district of Alfonso XII, prov- ince of Matanzas, Cuba, have captured an insurgent position on Mount Manjuan, at the point of the bayonet. The engagement lasted four hours, during nearly all of which time the Spaniards used the bayonet. They captured the insurgent camp, thirty sets of arms and much ammunition, sup- plies, medicines and an insurgent banner. The insurgents left fifteen killed on the mountain and retreated with many wound- ed, partly in the direction of Cienega and others in the direction of the province of Havana. The troops had two officers and twelve soldiers wounded. The news published in New York, via Tampa, Fla., that the insurgents have cap- tured seventeen forts and that 700 soldiers have deserted to the enemy is denied. The insurgents have not been able to capture one fort, it is officially asserted by the Spanish. Daniel Bolivar, secretary of General Ma- ceo, the insurgent commander, was wound- ed in the engagement at Ceiba Agua and has died of his wounds. Capt. Cesar Deblle, aid-de-camp of General Maceo, has sur- rendered to the Spanish authorities. Gomes Countermarches. News has been received that Maximo Go- mez, with 2,000 of the insurgent forces, has again passed the plantation of San An- tonio and the towns of Alquizar and Guira Melena. His present whereabouts and his proposed destination are not at present isnown, but his movement is practically a countermarch over the same route by which he entered the rfrovince of Pinar Del Rio. Guira Melena is on a line almost directly south of Havana. Gomez is, therefore, well out of the region in the province of Pinar Del Rio, in which it was said he was being enmeshed as in a trap. Ald From Florida. A Tampa, Fla., dispatch says: Monday night Alfredo Labondo, with forty-four companions, sailed from a rendezvous down the bay for Cuba. This is the party that was stopped by the local authorities on December 30. They sailed in a small schooner, and were to meet a steamer in the gulf, which was to convey them to Cuba. They carried sixty rifles, one hundred thousand rounds of cartridges and 100 peunds of dynamite. Campos Has Not Resigned. Minister Depuy de Lome has received a dispatch from Madrid saying that the report of the resignation of Gen. Martinez Campos, commanding the Spanish forces in Cuba. is absolutely false—that Gen. Campos had telegraphed from Havana denying the cor- rectness of the rumors. The minister 1s also in receipt of a dis- patch from Madrid giving an account of the recent battle near Guanajay. Gen. Na- varro met the enemy, which were composed of the main body of the forces of Maceo and Gomez. The insurgents were dispersed after a strong engagement, with a loss of twenty-three killed, besides a great number of arms and horses and a large quantity of stores. The enemy then retreated to Zeiba, but were obliged to countermarch by the command of Gen. Luque, by whom they also suffered an attack. In this engage- ment the Cuban loss was twenty killed and many wounded. Gen. Valdez arrived during the progress of the fight, and aided Gen. Luque ir dispersing the enemy. The minister received advices from Ha- vana yesterday, which show that the Cuban forces, after the engagement with Navarro, separated, and Gen. Pratz encountered the band of Maceo Miro in the mountains near Guanajay and routed it, killing eight and wounding many. The enemy then with- drew. The Spanish captured thirty-two horses and many arms. On the Spanish side four privates were wounded. -2oe- The Late R. H. G. Dyson's Will. Frances A. C.

CLEVELAND'S LETTER He Writes to Senator Caffery on the Bond Tegucs, =~ Denies That These Was Any Deal in Regard to T¥em—Bids to Be Advertised For. President Cleveland wrote a letter to Senator Caffery of Louisiana on the Sth instant in regard to-the public discussion of the bond issue, in which he uses the fol- lowing vigorous language: “I have read today.in the Congressional Record the debate in the Senate on Fridiy concerning the financial situation and bond issues. . - “I am amazed at ‘the intolerance that leads even excited partisanship to adopt as a basis of attack the unfounded accusa- tions and assertions of a malicious, men- dacious and sensational newspaper. “No banker or financier, nor any other human being, has been invited to visit Washington for the purpose of arranging in any way or manner for the disposition of bonds to meet the present or future needs of the gold reserve. “No arrangement of any kind has been tade for the disposition of such bonds to any syndicate or through the agency cf any syndicate. = “No assurance cf such a “disposal of bonds has been directly or indirectly given to any person. In point of fact, a decided leaning toward a popular loan and adver- tising for bids has been plainly exhibited on the part of the administration at all times when the subject was under discus- sion. ‘i “Those charged with the responsibility of maintaining our gold reserve, so far as legislation renders it possible, have anx- jously conferred with each other, and as cecasion permitted, with those having knowledge of the financial affairs and pres- ent monetary conditions, as to the best and most favorable means of selling bonds for gold. “The unusual importance of a successful result, if the attempt is again maae, ought to be apparent to every American citizen who bestows upon the subject a moment's patriotic thought. “The-Secretary of the Treasury, from the first moment that the necessity of another sale of bonds seemed to be approaching, desired to offer them, if issued to the peo- ple, by public advertisement, if they could thus be successfully disposed of. After full consideration, he came to the conclu- sion, to which I fully agree, that the amount of gold in the reserve, being now $20,000,000 more than it was in February last, when a sale of bonds was made to a syndicate, and other conditions differing from those then existing, justify us in cffering the bonds now about to be issued for sale by popular subscriptions. “This is the entire matter, and all those particulars could have been easily obtained by any member of the Senate by simple inquiry. “If Mr. Morgan or any one else, reason- ing from his own standpoint, brought him- self to the bellef that the government would at lengih be constrained to again sell bonds te a syndicate, I suppose he would have a perfect right, if he chose, to take such steps as seemed to him prudent to put himeelf in ccndition to negotiate. “I expect an issve of fonds will be ad- vertised for sale tcmorrow (the Gth), and that bids will be invited rot only for those now allowed by law, but for such other and different bcrds as Congress may authorize during the pendency of the advertisement. “Not having had an opportunity to confer with you in person since the present ses- sion of Congress began, and noticing your participation in the debate of last Friday, I have thought it not amiss to put you in possession of the facts and information herein contained.” ee BALTIMORE INJURED. The U. S. Cruiser Bndly Shaken Up by the Gale. The schooner Aloba, Capt. Dabel, arrived at San Francisco yesterday, fifteen days from Honolulu, brirging news of the arriv- al there of the United States cruiser Bal more, December 23, in a battered condition. ‘The cruiser was twe weeks overdue from Yokohama and experienced frightful weath- er on her voyage. At one time it was thought that the warship would roll over and go to the bottom. Boatswain Jessen was washed overboard and drowned. The turret guns, the forward cannon and the deck macbinery had to -be stowed below. Boats were swept out of the davits and smashed about the deck. J. Cooper, the carpenter, was caught by a heavy sea and thrown violently against the bulwarks, sus- taining severe internal injuries. ‘When the Baltimore reached Honolulu she looked like a wreck. Her rigging was torn away, her smokestacks were whitened by salt water, boats hung in the davits in a useless condition and the hull was covered with rust. The Baltimore was only three days out from Yokohama when she encoun- tered the first gale. A few days later she plunged into a terrific storm which lasted six days. : e+ ____ The Brewers Confer. The usual dally conference of the brew- ers was held this morning and the proceed- ings were conducted in secret. It is understood that a determination was reached by the brewers to attend the mee! ing of the National Brewers’ Association, which begins at Chicago next week, and to make as full a report to that body as may be necessary of the trouble here in the beer business. A report having been circulated that out- side brewers were violating the agreement not to ship any more beer here than they aid before the present controversy began, an Investigation was made this morning. It was reported that the rumor was incor- rect, the manifests of the different railroad companies showing that there has not been an Increase of a single keg over the supply received two weeks ago. g —— Transfers of Real Estate.

In the Canadian senate yesterday after- noon the premier, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, said that he had been desirous of resigning, but Lord Aberdeen, the governor general, had refused to allow him to do so, holding that as the government had promised in the speech from the throne that a remedial bill with reference to Manitoba schools would be considered, action on the speech should first be taken. After reading the statement Sir Macken- zie made a violent attack on the ministers who had bolted. The reasons given by the ministers for resigning were not, he said, such as would prevent their associating themselves with the government in the future. They had made reflections on his parlia- mentary career. H e dened any man to point cut one case of dishonesty in his long public life. He had always been a successful man, and had he been given loyal support by the striking ministers he would have been just as successful in carrying on the nation’s affairs. Reading from the statement that Mr. Fos- ter made in the commons Tuesday, he said the only reason given for the resignations Was that the bolters did not like their lead- er. He never had claimed to possess great intellect, but the strikers knew his powers when they chose him for minister. At any time had the ministers acted manly and come to him with a statement that they were dissastified with his ability to lead them he would not have stood in the way of the Erogress of Canada and of the conservative party. x “But,” continued Sir Mackenzie, “under the present circumstances I desire to make it olear that I will nat give up the reins of gov-rnment.”” His future, he said, he was glad to leave in the hands of the Canadians for them to decide whether the ministers were justified in leaving him at an important juncture in the affairs of the country. He would go on with remedial legislation in Manitoba, at the same time hoping that the day would never come when the rights of any, British subject would be interfered with. ‘The premier concluded by saying that af- ter several interviews with the governor general regarding the resignation of the ministers, he waited 2gain upon the gover- ror general with the purpose of tendering His resignation, but his excellency intimated that at that moment he was not prepared to receive it, as the speech from the throne had not been passed. He would endeavor to reform the movemert, and moved that at the close of the afternoon’s session the house adjourn until rext Tuesday, and in the meant!me he would try and fill the va- cancies. If not successful, he would then fencer his resignation to the governor gen- eral. ——__+- e+ _____ RELUCTANT TO DISARM. Only 2,000 of the 30,000 Foreigners in the Transvaal Yield. ‘The Transvaal goverrment is showing iscontent at the reluctance displayed by the Rerd men to disarm. It fs estimated “that 30,000 of the latter have been armed, ard only 2,000 have yielded up their arms. The armed Boers in the field are also im- patient. a) The position at JoHannesburg is critical, and the Boer leaders have the utmost diffl- culty in restraining their men. A proclamation has been Issued calling upon all the Rand men to disarm before 6 o'clock this evening, on pain of prosecu- tion. Those complying will be pardoned, except the leaders of the revolt. ‘There is a feeling at Pretoria, Transvaal, that the Rhodes charter will be canceled to prevent further disorders. A dispatch to the London Times from Ichan1.esburg confirms the report that sym- pathy with Dr. Jameson makes the Uit- landers reluctant to disarm, but as it is estinated that there are 20,000 armed Beers around the town, there is no fear of further rebellion. “The shops are reopening,” continues the Times’ dispatch, “and business is resuming its normal course. It develops that Dr. Jemeson’s force marched 160 miles in ninety hours, rever halting more than two hours at a time. “The directors of the Chartered South Africa Company have decided to request the government to institute an inquiry into Dr. Jameson's action.” The Times hes an editorial which strong- ly protests against canceling the Rhodes charter. DIGEST How Sick People May Save Their Energy. Tt 1s a8 bard work for some people to digest their dinner as tt 1s for a normal man to walk “After dinner rest a while.” This is an old saying. It means that if after eating a heavy meal you try to do hard work you will exhaust all your energy. There will be none left for your stomnch. Your stomach necds energy to work just as your leg or arm do-s. Sick people want energy, They seldom have enoush for thelr stomzcu. Their digestion !s out of order and they want to know the reason. It's simple gnough as we have told it. What they ought to do {s to save thelr stomachs from hard work until It is capable of doing it, just as they rest their tired backs by lying down. This they can do by using artificially digested food. Shaker Dixestive Cordial contains such food. Not only this, but it is capable of digesting other foods in the stomach, Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nourishment and creates new energy a3 soon as it is swallowed. Ordinary food first has to be digested. Shaker Digestive Cordial while creating new energy does not expend any. It gives the stomzch, no work todo. It will make thin people fat. Sick people are naturally thin. Getting thin te a sign of sick- ness. A person may be born thin, and naturally Such a one is not necessarily sick. Keep it and a 10-cent sample bottle tried.
