TWO BRAVE ARMY GIBLS. One Noble Sister Who Nursed the Other Through Yellow Fever. FATHER DIED OF DISEASE IN CUB.A Major Clendenln * Victim of Black Jack a? HU Daughter* Sailed Airay-Mln llelen Caucht the Disease and Mln Elta Devotedly Ntiraed Her Back to Health?A Tale of Womanly Heroism' New Yoek C:tt (Special).?Or the hero. Ism of the men of the array, volumes have been written. With this heroism the storj following has nothing to do. It treat9 oi the heroism cf two "army girls," brave, true hearted Yankee misses, whose lives since they have been out of plnafore3have been spent in barracks, within the sound of drums nnd the rumble of feet tramping in cadence. The name of these "armv elrls" is Clen denln. They are the daughters of a martyr to duty and they are martyrs themselves. One of them is slowly convalescing from an attack of yellow fever on Swinburne IeN I and; the other Is recovering from the strain of nursing her sister through the illness that threatened her life. In a trench outside of Boniato Camp, near Santiago, the body of their father has been burled, though at first they did not know it. Paul Clendenin was a physician In Galesburg, 111., fourteen years ago. Ho had two little daughters, Helen and Ella, and to them he was father and mother, for his young wife had died. He souRlit forgetfulne3s of his affliction, but ho could not gain it in the drowsy atmosphere of Galesburg. Naturally fond of a nomadic existence, life In the army appealed to him. He applied for a position in the M*dloal Corp;-, passed a brilliant examination and became an assistant surgeon in November, 1836. When the war with Spain hroke out L>r. Clenaenln had reached the grade of captain, and was considered one of the best of the army surgeons. 'He made application to be allowed to enter tho volunteers, and permission was granted. In Juno, 1893, he was made a brigade surgeon with the rank of major, and was assigned to General Fitzhugli Lee's command. Major Clendenin had his hands full. The hospital was fall of soldiers the winter through. From general to private the army fought off tho fever, and right in the van of the attacking force were the Clendsnin girls. But the fight was futile?the fever came, and one of the first to feel Its ?ffect8 in the Santiago district was Mujor ri.ni4?ln He battled with the disease with all the skill and strength of a trained lighter, but it conquered him. Late in June he told his daughters that they must get out of Santiago. What! go to the cool breezes of tbe middle west and leave their father sweltering under the Santiago sun, ill perhaps! The Clendenln sisters said "no" to the proposition, but tbeir father's arguments overcame their scruples. Arrangements were made for the Clendenin girl) to go to New York on the trans port ttcueuan, cogetuer wuu neariy uw others hurrying from the fever infested town. On the day before the McClellaa sailed, Major Olendenin was stricken down with the fever. He said nothing to his daughters about It, in the fear that they migut refuse to leave hiui. Not until the ship had sailed did he give way. 1 On the first day out from Santiago Helen Clendenin became ill. The ship's surgeon told her that she had yellow fever, and so she had. In spite of the protests of Ella Clendenin she was not allowed to nursf her sister. But she was allowed to sit near the door of her cabin and talk to her. Through the voyage she scarcely left he: post. The other passengers formed watches and took turns in keeping by the ioneiy girl. Df. Doty, when he boarded the MeClellan at Quarantine, was told of the condition of affairs on board. "Miss Clendenin?" he said. "Is she the daughter of Major Clendenin, who died in Santiago?" "8-s-h!" said Captain Brickley. "They do not know." And so, when Helen Clendenin was taken off the McClellan and transferred to Swinburne Island she was told that her father was well. Ella Clendenin insisted that she jDe allowed to nurse her sister. "If papa should have to hear that she was nursed by strangers," said the brave girl, "hs would not like it." Down to Swinburne Island went Ella Clendenin. Night and day she watched at the Dedside of her stricken sister, and not until Dr. Doty absolutely insisted that she should relax her vigilance did jhe consent to ta.ie a protracted rest. Thanks to the strong constitution of Miss Helen and the excellent treatment she has received, both aboard ship and on the Island, she is now on the road to complete recovery. It was pathetic to hear these two brave army girls talk of their father. Both were overjoyed in the false belief that he survived his illness and Is agalo the strong, courageous worker they have known from childhood. "In the course of my service as Health Officer," said Dr. Doty, "I have had many jnpleasant duties to perform. I would willingly have gone through all of them in succession rather than to have told those two brave girls the truth." spread 01 Louisiana came unease.

It is in substance is follows: "Philippines, beloved daughter of the arient sun of the tropics, commended by Providence to the care of noble Spain, ba lot ungrateful to her; salute her who ivarmed thee with the breath of her own :ulture and chriliaatlon. It is true she (ought to crush thy aspiration for tndesendence, as a loving mother opposes sepiration forever from the daughter of her )osom. This but proves the excess of af,'ectlon and love SpalD feels for thee. "Philippines, delicate flower of the Ea3t, icarcely eight months weaned from the Dreast of thy mother, thou bast dared to jrave a great and powerful nation, such is Is the United States, after barely organzing and disciplining thy little army. Sfet we reply, we will pe slaves to none, ^ , r SANTIAGO DE CUBA. ^ lor allow ourselves to be deceived by sof Torda. Let] us continue to defend our !atherland till independence is assured, tor :hfs is justice. We shall see at last that ;he great American nation will ackoowl9dge the rit?ht, which is on our side. That ioctrine of the great Monroe, that America is lor Americans, is not forgotten. Just as tre affirm that the Philippines are for the Filipinos. "The Americans wish to try us, to see if eve are able to live up to the second oolor nf nil* hannar rqd which slcrnlfleS COUr age, heroism, and martyrdom. Therefore we should not resent this struggle with the Americans. In spite of their expressed desire to dominate all the Philippines, well convinced are they that we fight with inatice and right on our side, and that'aatonomy is all a show of deceit, only serving to save certain accumulated wealth. "We might well accept this autonomy America offers, but what can we do with it if our ambition is independence, and if we are to accept it only to later overthrow by force of arms the soverelgaty of America? Aa I believe it is the intention of the Autonoailsts to make use of treachery and deceit, we cannot accept such a procedure. Wo do not wish to be traitors afterward. We wish to show our character of frankness and 8lnoerlty and nothing more. "Filipinos, let us be constant! Let us strengthen the bonds of our union!" Agulhaldo ooncluded by calling for cheers for independence, the union of the Filipinos, and lor the liberating army. SENATORS NEAR TO BLOWS.

The Veaael Groqniled on the Bock* Off Sarnbro Point?The 117 Paaaenfera and Crew Were Bowed Aahore?TUej Were Oat Alt Night on an Ialand Cloae to the Mainland* Halifax, N. 8. (Special).?'The steamef Portia, from New York for Halifax, was wrecked during a dense fog on Fllnn's Island, off Sambro, a point about fifteen miles to the eastward of Halifax. The passengers and crew, 117 in ^)1, were safeIf landed on the Island In the ship's boats, The only Tlotlm of the wreck was a {welve-year-old Syrian lad, known by the name of Basha, who wa3 traveling second slass from New York to St. John's, N. F., rhere bis mother lives. He was left in the ihip and was not missed until the passengers and crew were landed on the island. The disaster occurred shortly before 7 p. m. The passengers, of whom there were more than seventyve, were nearly all tourists. Tbe steamer had a cargo for :bis port and St. John's, N. F. The place vhera she struck is known as Big Fish Jhoal, and is one and a half miles west of ;he light on Sambro Island. The startling n?ws of the wreok of tho Portia was received here by telephone from Sambro Village. Captain Farrell and a boat's crew bad landed at Sambro, after ill the passengers, offl:ers, and men had been comfortably housed on inner Sambro [slauri. There are only two houses on ina?r Sambro, but the occupants of these juickly turned out to receive the large imp-wrectea parry. When the steamer struck, most of the passengers were on deck, despite the dampness of the surroundings. Tbe Portia took she shoal with a dull, grinding shock that sent a thrill from stem to stern and brought all on deck to tbeir feet In alArm. The steamer came to a sudden stop and tbe engines, which wero immediately reparsed, refused to pull her off. In tbe long, strong swell her stern moved gently up and down, bat her bow held Immovably to the * rocks. When her commander found her 'filling bo rapidly that the lives of the people on board were becoming imperiled, he gave the orders to make for the shore. Few of the passengers ventured below to recover their valuables after they learned that they were In danger. The weather was extremely thick at the time of the wreck, and there was a heavy southwest swell on the tea. It id believed Captain Farrell mistook bis position when be heard the bomb signals at Sambrc Light, wtlch sound every twenty minutes, and which Captain Clarke, of the Bed Cross steamer 8ilvla, say? are so mislead* ing that it is extremely difficult to locate a ship's position on hearing them. It was C. 60 o'clock when she struck the t rooks. She began to make water immediately, and at 7.30 o'clook Captain Farreil concluded that it was nnsafe to remain on board any longer. Orders were then given to lower tbe boats. Tbe fleet of lifeboats, keeping close toget ber, made Inner Sambro Island in less than three-quarters of an hour, and their occupants were soon housed: From Inner Sambro to the mainland is only a short distance, and as soon as Oaptain Farreil found that everybody from the steamer was safe and sound, he started for Sambro village, whence he dispatched the advices of the wreck.
