One of the most remarkable cases of the kind in the comparatively re cent history of the United States was that of Miss Beebe Beam, an Iowa girl, who fought in the war against Spain. In order to reach the sea of war In the Philippines she disguised herself as a cabin-boy. Arriving p,t Manila, she disguised herself as a sol dier, and followed the campaign for more than a year. Another woman who fought also in the American army, for the sheer joy of fighting, wois Senroa Loreta Vel asquiz. a lady of Cuban birth.
