the Spanish legation were to be stood on
hit hind he might not, like Kipling's
••l obs,'' "spill out a quart of I<<l." but
l> rd Roberts has scarcely been wounded
more limes than he. Col. Montevenle is a
till, sientler man. considerably this aide
of otJ, with u thin, earnest, almost tragic
face. On state occasions he wears upon
tis breast s*even mu dais conferred upon
him for gaHant conduct In as many bat
tles, anil if he were to wear aJI the decora
tions which have been given him at vari
ous times, the front of hie tunic would not
begin to hold them.
He served in Cuba at the beginning of
the insurrection, and in I&9S and 1897 in the
Philippines as aide-de-camp to Gen. Ijß
chambre. He has recently published a vol
ume of 600 pages concerning the Philip
pine campaign in 1597, a book which is
Recognized in Spain fes authoritative As
military attache to the Spanish legation,
when Spain resumed ditdomatic relations
with the United States, and re-established
a legation at Washington, Col. Montever
dis position has been somewhat delicate,
but a diplomatist is understood to have
nothing but a wholly official nucno-y and
r.o personal feelings whatever, *u;d Col.
(Monteverde has succeeded admirably in
Ms difficult position. He spends a great
part of this time in New' York, and always
declares that he finds America and Ameri
cans delightful.
Like the Spanish military attache, Com
mander Katsuro Narita, the representa
tive of Japan’s navy at the capital, has
ee n ac i\e service in war. He is typical
ly Japanese in appearance, graceful and
Blender, with the characteristically Jap
anese ability to extract amusement from
tiifl s. He was educated at the Japanese
Naval College at Yatashima, where five
•r s x Americans are now studying. He is
unusually expert in swordsmanship after
the Japanese method. Every Japanese of
ficer is trained for four years in the use
of sword. For the first two years he
Is al.owed no weapon but a mock sword
of bamboo. In the third year uses a
fiword two days in the week, and in his
fourth year he practices with a keen
et|ged sword every day. He is taught to
defend himself with his bare hands, too,
and it is to this latter training that Com
mander Narita owes his life. It was dur
ing the war with China that on one oc
casion he lfd a reconnoitering party some
where on shoie. In the darkness the Jap
anese scumbled upon a small body of the
e’-.emy. As they turned to retreat to their
boats. Commander Narita found his way
barred by a big Chinaman, who had evi
d ntly been Just roused from sleep. There
was no <imq to draw his sword. He rush
ed at his adversary, pe'zed him. and. with
the art of the Japanese wrestler, which
makes every additional pound of the ene
my's weight only another help to his un
doing. he flung him over his head, and es
caped in the darkness
When the fort at Wei-Hai-Wal was
taken Commander Narita was put in
command, because the immense guns
were quite beyond the understanding of
any but naval officers. In his little force
of sixty, one chief officer, four petty offi
cers anti seven sailors were killed. The
young commander himself narrowly es
caped death. The officer in command of
one of the guns had fallen at his place.
Narita sprang to relieve him. when the
Chinese ship Chin-Yen went shot, which
Commander Narita says, with a naive
smile, he did not see coming. It struck
the great gun squarely. The monster rear
ed high in air and burst Into five pieces,
one of which swept past the young offi
cer, wounding him lq both forearms. It
was for bravery at Wel-Hai-Wel that he
was sent to Washington after a year
spent in European travel. Commander
Narita always dresses in European fash
ion, as do all the Oriental members of
the diplomatic corps, with the exception
of the Chinese. His great regret Is that
he could not follow our army to Cuba.
He did go to Tampa, but business, in con
nection with Japanese ships building at
the Cramp Ship Yards kept him from
leaving the country.
The Italian embassy Is at present with
out a military attache, as Lieut. Fercclo
Vitale, who Is accredited to Washington,
Is with our army In Manila. The Turk
ish military attache, also, is absent. He
is watching military operations In South
Africa, and will return to America when
the war Is over. He Is Adjt. MaJ. Aziz,
aide-de-camp to His Majesty the Sultan.
Aziz Bey received his appointment to
Washington in consequence of a brilliant
and daring feat performed during the war
with Greece. It was nothing less than o
long ride in range of the enemy’s guns,
to bring back to the main body of Turk
ish forces a column on the left wing,
which had in some way misunderstood
Its orders, and had wandered so far from
the rest of the army that it was about
to be cut off by a Greek brigade. Aziz
Hey escaped without a wound. Before
the war he was military attache to the
legation ot Bt. Petersburg, and spent five
years in Russia. He is a young officer,
to whom the Sultan is said to be greatly
attached, and is very much liked in

PARADE OF LABOR UNIONS
lx Announced to Take Place This
Afternoon.
The labors unions were active yesterday
and held a number of meetings at La
bor Hall. Very little new business w r as
transacted, however, the greater portion
of the time being taken up in perfecting
the plans already outlined for the relief
of the men who are ou4 of employment
and also for the parade which is to take
place to-day, beginning at Labor Hall at
3 o’clock in the afternoon. The route of
the march has not yet been determined,
but will doubtless Include the principal
streets. A number of banners have been
prepared, and, it Is said, will be more or
less personal in their sentiments.
The officers of the unions claim that
they continue to meet with great success
in their efforts to get workmen into their
ranks. Yesterday, they claimed, ten men
applied at Labor Hall for initiation. They
will bo made meml>ers to-day, when, it is
stated, that the greater part of a body
of forty-five workmen will be added to
the cause at the same time. 1
The officers say that they are also meet
ing with considerable success in bringing
into line the contractors and others in
terested in building operations. Contrac
tor A. C. Scott, who is In charge of some
buildings now being put up on Eighth
street, has, they claim, agreed to use
only union labor and will to-day give
employment to twenty men to be furnish
ed by the unions. Contractors A. J. Wil

result of the movement.

ising Thomas that he meet him at a store
near the market to do so. Thomas waited
until near midnight and then, determined
to get the money as soon as possible, went

HE WHISTLES FOR A CAR.
The Strange Prank of n Parrot That
Lives on Whitaker Street.
Shrilly a wfilirtle rang out, and the con
ductor on the Whitaker street line reach
ed uq and gave his bell cord a pull. Then
he Iqoked around to gee who had whistled
the car. No one on the run in the effort
to catch it caught his eye. “Confound
that parrot,” h% exclaimed, and gave the
double .signal to the motorman for the car
to go on.
The Incident* naturally provoked in
quiry. “Do you see that parrot on that
stoop?*' asked the conductor. “Well, that’s
a way he's picked up. By this time I
should know better, but now and then I
forget the locality and ring the bell.”
It Is said that nearly every time the
parrot sees a car j>a*s he gives vent to
his whistle. The story is that he must
have heard some man whistle for the car.
Getting the sound of the whistle in his
head, and connecting the car with it by
some means, he brings his wonderful im
itative powers into play to produce the
shrill sound and call the car to a halt.
The conductors have begun to look
around to see whether the whistle Is the
real thing before they ring their beds at
the corner of Whitaker and Macon streets.
It makes them feel cheap to get caught,
and now they are on the watch to defeat
the mischief the parrot strives to work.

The best is the Wheeler Brand of Bel
fast Ginger Ale, made by Wheeler & Cos.,
of Belfast, Ireland, from the celebrated
Cromac Springs of that city. These
springs are the property of Wheeler &
Cos., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac
turer in Ireland has those waters but
themselves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale Is
made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and
not from Red Pepper, as.others are; one
is deleterious—the other Is a tonic.
For Healthfulness and Purity the cele
brated Wheeler brand of Belfast Ginger
Ale le the best.
