Caflles was at his camp at the time of the Ameri- can attack, but managed to escape. Cap- taln Chase's force captured his adjutant keneral, five others of his staff officers, fourteen men, twenty rifles, a large amount of ammunition and stores and all the papers and personal effects of the Filipino general.

For more than a year past Caflles has com- manded the fnsurgent forces operating to the east of Bay Lake, not far trom Manile. He Is sald to be a French half caste. He bas a reputation for vindictivenss and cruelty and is one of the two or three Filipino leaders still in the field who hav clearly ignored the observances of honor- able warfare.

The rumor soon spread in the American colony that therc was a mystery connected with these fair compatriots. It became the rage to swe their performance and to seek introductions for the Misses Cunnfugham were not only extraordinarily handsome, but also culturcd and versed in all the little refinements of | soctety. The best women of the colony i vited them to special teas and receptions. The girls seemed modestly pleased oy these attentions, but with gentle craft and firmness resisted all efforts to draw out any Information, though they admit that Cunningham s ret their surname, nor Gladys and Leoine their Christian names. One French paper says they are the daughters of Edward Paden Deacon, who killed his wife ten years ago at Nice, where he discovered her deceit. But this seems & preposterous effort to connect the young women with a not yet forgotten Franco- American scandal. A writer for another | paper alleges that an American diplomat | who knew the girls In Washington as chil- |dren says they are the natural daughters |of a once eminent politiclan who was dis- | Braced in the American capital by a sensa- tional trial. This also seems bosh, At any rate, “All Paris” knows about the two ‘Mysterlous American beautfes,” and s keenly anxious to learn thelr history The World correspondent called on the Misses Cunningham at thelr pretty apart- {ment on the Avenue Victor Hugo and ob |tained the following statement from ore | of the twins, Gladys or Leonie, he can't te.l | which Nothing should concern the public about | us except our performance. We are Ameri- cans, it I8 true, but for reasons of our own we desire to keep our identity to ourselves We do come from a very good and very well known family and are graduates ot one of the principal girls' colleges, but the rumor that we were driven to adopt fu- cognito by scandal is gratultous. “Three years ago we suddenly found our- selves compelled to earn our own living. We had some little means left but not enough to provide the comfort we were accustomed to. We had to choose between being saleswomen, typewriters, trained nurses or some such thing. Marriage was and remains out of the question for us. “None of the usual occupations for women attracted us; they provided small pay and monotonous expense. Therefore, as we had been athletes and acrobats from youth, when we used to lock ourselves in | our room to perform acrobatlc feats, we decided to turn what we had learned in | fun to account We came to Europe three years ago and went through a systematic tralning under the best circus performers. Higher Offera. “This is our second engagement. We ap- peared first in Lyons at the Cirique Rancy, where head clown Alphano, our most be- loved master and a man of genius in his line, designed the act we now perform in Parls, & clowsic fantasy. | “We get, in American money, $40 a night, | for both, and $30 for matinees, That's only $150 a week for each, provided we feel like working at each performance, which we | can't and don't. We have offers of much higher pay. For the same reasons which prevent us from saylng who we were in the United States, we shall never return | | there, either to perform or to live. | “'We enjoy circus life. It is a career as | | ood as another, as respectable as any if you make it so, and certainly more lnde- than most."” | The twins enter the circus arena tumbling and laughing like robust sprites. One is clad in black, the other in scarlet satin | tights. Bach has a funny but graceful | white wig, and their faces are powdered | | white like Pierrots, with beauty spots of | black court plaster at the corners of the | lips. Throughout the act, a perfect whirl- wind of pretty and dangerous exercises, no | word is spoken, but the girls laugh all the time as though haviug the greatest fun in the world, | SEES BUT ONE FACE IN YEARS Ottoman Liberals Tell French League of Sorry Plight of Imprisoned Former Sul PARIS, April 28.—The French League of the Rights of Man has recelved a letter | from the Ottoman Liberal committee in Constantinople appealing to the league to | | take up the propaganda for the release of former Sultan Mourad, who was deposed | August 31, 1876, on the ground of ill healtl | and mental incapacity.

Our casualties were four officers wounded and three men killed and thirty-two wounded. The French troops were not engaged.” Subsequently the following additional dis- patch regarding the four engagements were received from Count von Waldersee: “Pekin, April 28.—The following reports only arrived last night, owing to the dif- of communication: “General Ketteler's brigade, reinforcet, marched in four columns against the Great wall, Colonel Ledeburs being the right wing, then those commanded by Colon: | Hoffmeister, Colonel Wallmerich and Major Heublenfels.

NEW YORK, April 28.—Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst preached today at the Madi- son Square Presbyterian church on toples connected with his recent trip south, Re- ferring to the estimation in which the people of the south and those of the north bold the negro, Dr. Parkhurst said “The southerner does not like the negro any beiter than the average northerner does, and the two carry themselves toward the negro with just ahout the same amount of Christian consideration, only of the two, the southern white man has perhaps this advantage, that he does not make quite so flamboyant a pretense of loving the negro as his northern conferee does. The southern white man dislikes the negro, and owns up to it. The white man in the north dislikes the negro and lled about it." The preacher said further he undis- criminating act by which the negroes had conferred upon them the right to vote, was one of those blunders that It is not easy to escape from after it is once committed, but which It would seem we ought to have had northern statesmanship sufclently in- telligent to prevent “The counsel that both the northern and the southern friends of the negro are now giving him, is to keep quiet upon the whole suffrage matter, to keep out of politics, not to talk about the costitution, not to insist upon his rights, but to attend industriously to the work of getting himself well ready— which he Is not now—for what God and the country and the future may bave in store for him."
