Senorita Romana Ortez Sees Father Out of Prison as Result of Explosion. (,

When blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico closed over the relic of the battleship Maine last week a young woman, now in Hammond, was among the thousands who offered up a prayer for the souls of the gallant laddies who went to their death from the Spanish mine in Havana harbor over fourteen years ago. Although a Spaniard, Senorita Romana Ortez, the daring wire artiste now at the Orpheum, "remembers the Maine." with the same reverence with which the great tragedy is regarded by patriotic Americans. For it was explosion of the great warshfp that brought about the strife that resulted in the freeing of Senorita Ortez' father from a Spanish prison In Manila. Senor Ortez was outspoken, in his criticisms of the Spanish government

American war Senor Ortez would undoubtedly have perished In prison, but the taking of Manila by Admiral Dewey brought about the release of the imprisoned man. The failure of the father to retrieve his lost fortunes was the cause of Senorita Romana seeking her present hazardous occupation.
