GREAT BLOW TO CAMPOS
General Santocildes Was Next to
Him and a Fighter,
Cuban Patriots Delighted With the
News of the Defeat of the Flower
of the Spanish Army.
(By United Press.l


New York, July IS. S.-"Thedeath ofGeneraI
santociIdes is a great loss to the Spanish
army in Cuba" said General Rafael de
Quesada to-day.
The general is the Cuban leader in this
country and the news of a Cuban victory
together with the death of Santocndes,
caused a number of his lieutenants to gather
to-day and discuss Cuban affairs General
Quesada was surrounded by seven or eight
patriotic Cubans when he talked about the
bright outlook for Cuban independence.
Gen. santOcildes," he continued, was
next To Gen. Campos and hisdeath, as ISaid,
is great blow to Spain. OF all the generals
that Campos depended upon the dead officer
was the one. He was able and aggressive
He had dash about him which the others
have not and he knew what war meant.
His death in battle is glorious news to
every patriotic Cuban. because he was a
tower of strength. / have no doubt that the
army under him Will become disheartened
without his inspiring presence. His sud-
den taking off will be a salutary warming to
CampOs that he is no invulnerable" "
The general paused, and after conversing
few minutes in Spanish with his friends,
said: we have won another battle, and
it is all the more important because we
defeated a Spanish crack regiment, kill
ing Captain Gonzalez Lopez. This bat
tie shows that the Cubans are not afraid
TO meet in warfare the flower of the
Spanish army.
Il hear that Campos is going into the in
terror in order to Set an example of bravery
to his dispirited officers and troops This is
splendid news, because it may be that
Campos will meet his Waterloo there. The
Cuban patriots know every foot of the
ground, aud they may attack him when he
least expects it. / hope a great many of
the Spanish troops will follow him on his
inland raid, for they may never return"

WOOD FOR FURNITURE.
Changing Fashions AZ to the Kind Of
Material Used.

From the New York Telegram.
The DEGREES of fashion In furniture affect
not only the shape and design of the furni-
ture, the style of ornamentation and the
finish 1t shall receive, but the materials
used as we'll. Twenty years ago walnut
was the only wood thought really fit to
make I'D into furniture, and 1t was used for
the bedroom. library. dining rooms and par
lcr Oak came in as rival for walnut, and
In the course of time completely drove wal
nut out of the northern market, though it
is still called for by the southern trade
When first brought out oak was finished in
the natural color. Some genius discovered
that by staining the wood an antique effect
was produced. which better brought out the
grain of the wood. and antique oak reiSned
for a couple OF seasons. The XVI century
finish, giving q clouded effect, as though
certain spots had been diligently rubbed
and other parts neglected, was the next
effort at novelty and had a great run-until
the finish was put on cheap goods with
stencil. which very effectually killed 1t Tor
high-priced goods. Then the oak was STAIN
ed almost black in imitation OF old English
oak and the finish fad was run into the
ground. Oak reigned supreme as cabinet
wood for dozen years, supplantins even
mahogany in popular favor. but today oak
is on the shelf with walnut, although not
quite so far back. For fine furniture this
season mahogany leads the procession by
long odds and oak Is scarcely considered
worth looking at-and yet IL is only two or
three years ago when nothing bat oak was
asked for. For the lighter furniture birds
eye and curly maple. which year ago was
Immensely popular. now holds the candle for
curly birch, with Its beautiful notified color
and grain.

LUXURY In RATH ROOMS.
Silver and China Used for the Toilet
Appointments.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The fittings for bath rooms are quite in
keeping with the other Injuries of our
modern civilization. and extremely hand
some and artistic as we'll as useful, are
they.
The sponge. while naturalists call upon
US to admire its wonderful fashioning, is,
to say the least. very mundane object,
but in these fin de steele days it's mum
dainty Is relieved to a great extent. No
longer Is il suspended from the nearest
or placed in what looks like an inverted
filigree toast rack. 1t is placed in a broad,
shallow silver dish. with a wooden bottom.
The silver sponge dishes are made on the
same principle as the coasters in whic n
wine bottles are placed. They are general
ly of plain silver. with curved edges.
When one has many sponges each has its
respective silver holder, and the effect is
quite overpowerng to the ordinary mind.
In every well-regulated bath room there Is
always a silver powder box, but of giant
size in which is fitted the immense powder
Puff. with silver top. which monsieur, no
use after the bath. This silver powder box
Is quite shallow and made of the same
pattern as the sponge dishes. Silver soap
dishes and innumerable small unguent
boxes, all of silver; glass bottles, with sill
yer tops. all must be in the modern bath
room. and involve. as a rule, another serv-
ant, whose care IL Is to keep them properly
polished and in order.
Many women prefer china to silver for
their bath room appointments and dainty
and beautiful In the extreme are many OF
the designs. The three-cornered jar that
FITS on to the tub at the end is a great con-
venience. and IS really a thing of beauty
made as ID is often. of some valuable piece
of china. Still. with porcelain tub and sill
yer pipes and faucets. the silver dishes har-
monte most satisfactorily.

THE MISSING LINK.
skeletons Found I'm Java Nearer Like
Mans Than Any Living Apes.

From Science.
No publication of late date Is likely to
excite more interest than quarto of forty
pages which has just been issued from the
local press Of Batavia. with the title
"Pithecanthropus Erectus, Fine Menschen-
anliche Uebergangsform aus Java. Won
Eng. Dubois. Militararzt der Midland.
Armee."
This noteworthy essay contains the de-
tailed description Of three fragments of
three skeletons which have been found in
the early pleistoc enc strata OF Java, and
which introduce to US a new species, which
is also a new genus and a new family, of the
order of primates, placed between the
Simiidae and Hominidae; in other words.
apparently supply the missing link be-
tween man and the higher apes which has
so long and so anXiously been awaited.
The material is sufficient for a close
astrological comparison. The cubic capac-
ity of the skull is about two-thirds that Ct
the human average. 1t Is distinctly do
lichocephalic about 20 degrees, and its
norma yerticals astonishingly like that CT
The famous Neanderthal skull. The dental
apparatus Is still of the sinian type, but
less markedly so than in other apes. The
.femora are singularly human. They prove,
beyond doubt, that this creature walked
constantly on two legs, and when erect
was quite equal in height to the average
human male. OF the various differences
which separate 1t from the highest apes
and the lowest men, it may be said that
they bring it closer to the latter than to
the former.
One of the bearings of this discovery is
upon the original birthplace of the human
race. The author believes that the steps in
the Immediate genealogy of our species
were these: Prothylobates. Anthropopithe-
Gus. Sivalensis. Pithecanthropus erectus
and Homo sapiens. This series takes US
10 the Indian faunal province and to the
other aspects of the great Himalayan
chain as the region somewhere in which
our specific division of the great organic
chain first came into being.
