Keesing, .who was unintentionally the cause of the young woman being burned and whose subsequent prompt action | saved her from being roasted to death | before the eyes of the startled onlookers, was also painfully burned on the hands | and arms and the agony occasioned by his hurts completely prostrated him for sev- eral hours. Just how the fire that resulted so se- riously started is not known. Shortly be- fore 5 o'clock a young man ran into the | store at the corner of Fifteenth and Mis- sion streets, where Keesing is employed, and shouted that the flat overhead was ablaze.

By this time they had become | 50 painful that the patrol wagon was | summoned and the injured man was taken | to the Recelving Hospital. There his | burns were dressed and under the influ- { ence of a sedative he rested at the hos- | pital for several hours and was then sent | to_his home, 79 Ellis street. As soon as the flames were extingulshed | at the Peres home Dr. Alderman was 'summoned from the Rallroad Hospital to | care for the young woman. She had re- gained her consciousness a few minutes after the accident and her suffering was | intense. Her condition is critical.

General Otis is in good health, according to reports from the ship last night. His one paramount | desire at present is to get kast in a hurry. Unless some special dispensation is made permitting him to land he will not commence s overland journey very soon. Special efforts will be made to get | him ashore without long delay. There are forty-nine cabin passengers on the Meade and 134 in the steerage. he carries 112 dead bodles. There was one | death on the way over. Federal Quarantine Officer Kinyoun stated last night that he did not know how long the Meade would be in quaran- tine, nor when General Otis would land. General Otis returns to America for a much-needed rest after nearly two years' | absence on probably the most arduous and trying duty that fell to the lot of any officer” en, in the Spanish or Phil- ippine wars. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war General Otls, then a brigadier, was acting as president of the court-martial engaged in the trial of Cap- tain Oberlin M. Carter, at Savannah, Ga. On May 25, 1898, he wa¥ commissioned ma- jor general of volunteers and assigned to duty as commander of the Department of the Pacific. Og July 23 he sailed from San Francisco for Manila with reinforcements for General Merritt, and when that officor was ordered home in September following General Otis succeeded him as com- mander-in-chief of the American forces in the Philippines and Goverpor General of the islands. In that capacity he had control of the very delicate relations with Aguinaldo and his people, which were fin- ally ruptured on ‘ebruary 4 of last year by the Filipino attack on the Americans at Man#la, The war which was then be- gun, and has continued ever since, was irected generally and in detall by Gen- eral Otls from Manila, where he resided in the palace of the late Spanish Governor General, while at the same time he was perfecting and inaugurating a system of civil government for such parts of the isl- ands as came under American control. That the work was done to the satisfac- tion of the President and his Cabinet is shown by the fact that he was kept at his post until his health forced him to ask for-leave of absence: General Otis is a little over 62 years of age, having been born March 25, 1838, at Frederick, Md. He studied and practiced law for two_years, when he entered the army as captain of the One Hundred and Fortfeth New York Volunteers, Septem- ber 13, 1862, He served through the cam paigns of the Army of the Potomac with distinction, winning brevet brigadier gen- eralship, and later being made lieutenant colonel ' of the Twenty-second United States Infantry. He served in the cam- ralgno against Sitting Bull and was large- y instrumental in bringing that chief to terms. On March 31, 1880, he was made colonel of the Twentieth' Infantry, and November 23, 1303, commissfoned brigadier general over the heads of several officers of much longer standing in the service. —— Unknown Victim of Gas Dies.

She is nineteen years old and is flowing all ‘the time, Ry 2nd has been for about { three months. Thedoe- tor does her but very little good, if any. I thought I would try Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, but I want your advice before beginning its use. I have become very much alarmed about her, as she is getting so weak.”— Mgs. MaTmpA A, CAamp, Manchester Mill, Macon, Ga., May 21, 1899. “DreAR Mrs. PINK- HAM :—It affords me great pleasure to tell you of the benefit my daughter has received from the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’'s Vegetable Com- pound. After beginning the use of your medicine she began to mend rapidly and is now able to be at her work. Her menses are regular and- almost painless. I feel very thankful to you and expect to always keep your Vegetable Compound in my house. It is the best medicine I ever knew. You have my permission to publish this letter if you wish, it may be the means of doing others good.”"—Mrs. MATILDA A. CAup, Manchester Mill, Macon, Ga., September 18, 1899. .
