The Woman's Patriotic Aid Society, or- ganized to furnish the soldiers serving in the south with the abdominal bands so greatly needed, received so generous a response to the appeal for money and aid published last week in The Star that it has been able this week to forward boxes containing 1,252 bands. Under the teader- ship of its president, Mrs. M. L Ludington, who is devoting her entire time to the cause, branch societies are being formed elsewhere. From Atlantic City, Sandy Springs, Connecticut, Ohio, Massachusetts and North Carolina letters of inquiry have been sent and answered, patterns of bands forwarded and promises received that doz- ens would be made. , ae society will send more boxes next week, and again asks its friends for means to purchase the flannel,which willing hands are waiting to make. Mrs. M. L Luding- ton, Hotel Cochran, is the one to whom all contributions should be made. — == FICHTING BOB, EVANS USES elect tnd naenen Culler fae Wie Please send ian’ Foot-Ense to Cay ‘com'd’g battle to Naval Ca- Massachu- snip tows, ‘Key Weet, Fis’ CEE ° Teylor Birans,_ battle ship \ 0 Se ad MAP SHOWING THE LADRONE ISLANDS.

Islands Are Situated in the North Pacific and Have a Small Spanish Garris The New York Herald of today publishes the following dispatch from its Washington correspondent: Washington believes tonight that the American flag is flying over the Marianne or Ladrone Islands, a group belonging to Spain, 1,000 miles or more to the east of the Philippines. Under the instructions given him before his departure from San Francisco, Captain Henry Glass, commanding the cruiser Charleston, was directed to proceed to Guajan, the most important of this group— the only island upon which Spain had a force of soldiers—require the surrender of the enemy’s men and to take possession in the name of the United States. Why the Charleston Waited. It was because of the necessity of having a landing force that the Charleston waited at Honolulu for the arrival of the trans- port Peking with 1,000 troops aboard. The troops were under the command of Major General Otis, and he was directed before his departure from San Francisco to co- operate with Captain Glass in accomplish- ing the defeat of the Spanish force in the Ladrone Islands. No doubt exists in official circles that ther Charleston has by this time reached Gua- jan. During the run from San Francisco to Honolulu the cruiser made an average of 300 miles a day, and on one or two oc- casions made 350 miles. Proceeding at her average rate—a rate which the Peking wiil easily be able to maintain—it is estimated by the officials that she should have made the 3,000 miles separating the Hawaiian Is- lands and Guajan in ten days. If, as is be- lieved, she left Honolulu on May 31, she has thus covered the distance, and by this time has taken possession of the islands. It is not believed that the American force had much difficulty in taking Guajan. The Spaniards had two small forts at that point, and just before the war broke out sent a few guns and troops to reinforce the garrisons. These are not believed to have been large enough to have given any trou- ble to the American forces. The Island of Thieves. The Ladro2e, oth2rwise known as the Ma- rianne Islands, are situated in the North Pacific ocean, one thousand miles east of the Philippine Islands and thirty-five hun- Gred miles from Honolulu. The name Islas de los Ladrones—Islands of th: Thieves— was given them on account of the thieving rropensity of the inhabitants at the time of their discovery. The archipelago consists of a chain of fifteen islands, which are di- vided into two groups by a broad channel and contain a total ar2za of 417 square miles. The northern group (Gani) consists of ten islands, now uninhabited. Five islands, of which four are inhabited, form the southern group. These are Guahan (Spanish Guajan), Rota, Aguigan, Tinian and Saypan. On Gaujan, the largest and southernmost of the group, is the only town of the colony, San Ignacio d> Agana, and the fortified har- bor of Umata. This is the place at which the American flag was probably raised. ‘The general surfac> of the southern isl- ; ands is mountainous, but far inferior in ele- vation to that of the rorthern group, though Moe altitudes do not exc>ed 2,600 or 2,700 ‘eet. The present population of the Ladrones censists of descendants from the original inhabitants, called by the Spaniards Cha- morros, of Tegal settlers from the Philip- pines, and of a mixed race formed by the union of the Spaniards and the Chamorros. The number of the original inhabitants pre- vious to the subjection of the islands by the Spaniards in 1668 has been variously esti- mated at from 40,000 to 60,000. The Spanish conquest and the forcible suppression of th> natives reduced their numbers to such an extent tkat in 1741 the Population was only 1816. From that date, however, the population began to increase, owing to the introduction of new colonists from the Philippines, and in 1856 was 9,500, Recently an epid2mic carried off one-third of the inhabitants. Since 1871 the popula- tion of the Ladrones has been roughly esti- mated at 8,000. All the inhabitants speak Spanish. Spain gains no revenue by the Possession of thse islands. ARMY NOMINATIONS.

When the department arrived they found no fire, but gas was pouring out of the biz gas supply pipe. Chief Parris led the way into the cellar with a fire damp lamp ani discovered the prostrate form of William Henson, the colored porter. He was re- moved to the store above and the work of investigation continued. The leak in the gas main was discovered and a hurry call sent to the gas office for an inspector. He arrived in a short time and stopped the leak. This morning, according to the story of one of the employes of the store, a young man who claimed he came from the gas office, called and directed to be shown the meter. He was accompanied by the por- ter, and went to work to remove one of the three meters which supply the bufld- ing. He left a short time afterward, tak- ing one of the meters with him. The smell of escaping gas attracted the atten- tion of the clerks, and the porter was sent to the cellar to investigate. He found a small blue flame burning at the end of the supply .pipe, and thinking it safe enough to light a match to see if that was the only leak, scratched a lucifer on the wall. There was an explosion, and Henson was thrown down violently and rendered in- sible. When taken out his mustache and air were singed and over his right eye there was an ugly-looking cut. He was thoroughly scared when he hecame aware of the peril he had been subjected to. The inspector of the gas company said he could not explain how the explosion oc- curred. The supply pipe had been left open, but no light was left to ignite it. The change, he said, was due to a rear- rangement of the meters, and the one cut off was taken away. The pipe which sup- plied it had been inadvertently left open. It is the impression that the workman tn removing the meter sured himself of the pon-escape of gas by opplying hted candle to the pipes. Finding no leaks he left. There wa: however, a tiny flame which escaped his notice, and as it burned it ate away the pipe. There was no dam- age to the store.
