MORE CUBAN CANARDS
REPORT THAT ON THE FACE OF
THEM ARE DOUBTFUL.
Outside of Some Movements of
Troops There Does Not Appear
to be Anything Unusual
Going On.

NEW YORK, May IA special
to the World from Havana, Cuba,
says: Col. Martinez, who fought
IN the previous revolution,
has landed with an expedi-
ton, it is reported, on the north Of
Santa Clara province.
Another expedition OF three
schooners is lowering around the
north coast OF Santiago province,
watching for an opportunity to
land.
Two suspicious looking schooners
are in the neighborhood Of Coloma
Pinar del Rio, direct Of Cuba. They
have been sent there, and it is
thought they are the same that
tried to land a few days ago at
Bahia Yon Honda, on the North
west coast.
The insurgents are sending
forces to the coast to aid expedi-
lions in disembarking. According
to reports, several are expected.
Cubans continue to leave for
Central America and United States
ports to join filibustering expedi-
lions bound for the eastern districts
of this island.
Events of the war are less and
less discussed in public resorts.
Were it not for the movement of
soldiers it would appear as II moth
ing unusual was happening on the
island. In Colon, MatanZas dis
trict, only 80 miles from Havana, a
party of some thirty men lately de-
clared for the revolution. They
were pursued by the troops and
dispersed. One insurgent was
killed, and one soldier-was wound
ed. This band was commanded by
the robber Matagas, who is trying
to raise a large force. That a rob-
Der captain and his band should
espouse the cause Of the revOlu-
ton is very unfavorably comment
ed upon by the Spaniards,who look
upon all insurgents as mere rob.
bers, yet the Spanish government,
having no more soldiers to press
into service, is taking convicts
from the prisons and enrolling
them for active military service.
This is being done, not only in
Spain, but also in this island.
A soldier who enlists from pat
riotic motives may have to fight
side by side with an assassin, a
burglar or a common thief. The
insurgent army commanded by
General Gomez now in Puerto
Principe province, is said to con-
sist Of 1000 cavalry in addition to
a large body Of infantry. This
army is increasing fast.
Col. Santoscildes, Of whose valor
the Spaniards have made so much,
is now under charges because the
rebel generals Lacret and Rolotf
successfully evaded him and land
ed not far of from where he (San-
toscildCs) and his army were camp
ed.
Some officers of the German ar
my, it is rumored, have applied
for positions in the rebel forces.

The Women Artists of Los Angeles
Mrs. Annie Thomas Bancroft's China Decorations

The above sketch is a corner in the
studio of Mrs. Annie Thomas Bancroft,
whose clever artistic work is well known
here and hereabout.
There is no artist in the city whose
china decorations surpass hers for origin
ality of design, daintiness of coloring and
artistic effects. Mrs. Bancroft turned her
when a long illness left her with too little
strength to indulge in more active inter-
ests. For three years she studied in the
nothern part of the state, and used her
knowledge of oils and water colors in a
dillettante fashion for her own pleasure
and that of her friends.
About that time she felt the necessity to
have, as Mrs. Fremont quantity expresses
it, "a working oar in her family" and
much against the wishes of her people and
friends she opened studio and COM
menced to teach. Everybody said she'd
fail, but she didn't. Her health was I'M
proved, her will and pluck have supplied
what may have been lacking in physical
strength, and the last eight years has seen
a slow but surely growing success.
She has made china decorating a
speciality, and besides the designing and
painting, she docs her own firing in kiln
that is heated by gas. This last winter
she has filed orders from people in Chi
cago, st. Paul. Canada, Boston and San
Francisco.
While on a business visit of nine months

at Chicago during the Columbian EXPOSE
Mrs. Candace Wheeler, and since her re-
turn to Los Angeles she has made a great
success of house decorating for entertain
ments of various kinds.
Her cleverness lies in her unique orig
nality of design, as much as in her
artistic execution. She decorates her
china with scrolls and rocco designs.
with arabesques and dainty traceries
either in gold or color rather than trees
and fruits. Her flowers are conventional
lied to large extent, unless the order be
otherwise, and instead of putting a mis-
powder box cover or pin tray, Mrs. Ban
croft is much more likely to touch up the
edge with a dull gold arabesque, or a
gracefully designed outline in some dainty
color, which is certainly quite as appropri-
ate and:less wearing on the nerves. Her
large pieces will have mammoth con-
/; vcntionalized chrysanthemum or some
other picturesque design which doesn't
offend the artistic sense and pleases both
eye and mind.
Mrs. Bancroft work is truly artistic,
and her studio, with its Japanese mat
ting freze, it's bamboo decorations in the
way of tables, chairs, brackets and the
straw pin-wheels that are fastened with
cheerful inconsequence over the surface
of the walls, make stunningly swell
effect.

John g. Carlisle on Woman's Suffrage
With an Introduction by John Shirley Ward

The spirit Of chivalry lifted woman from
that of servitude, both of soul and body,
to the present high position she sustains,
both in our laws and social life. The
spirit of chvalry made the women, who
have to the world in literature such men
As Longfellow and Holmes, Poe and Father
Ryan, Hayne and Lowell; in statesman
ship, such men as Adams and jefferson,
Webster and Calhoun Jackson and Lin
coin; in military science, a Washington
and Scott, Grant and Lee, Sheridan
and Stonewall Jackson. The mothers of
these great men never dreamed when
they were forging and shaping the desti-
MES of their sons, that they were them
selves the manacled slaves of mans op-
preston. 1t has been reserved to a later
age for women who have never had the
honor to bear children, to complain
against the arbitrary cruelty of men
in the enactment of the laws Of our coun-
try, and in this day it seems that the
women who have no posterity visible are
the most clamorous about the suppressed
rights of the future woman. As an evil
dence look at Miss Susan B. Anthony,
who still carries at an advanced age the
paternal name, and also that of Miss
Frances E. Willard, who still prefaces her
name with Miss. The very spirit of chv-
airy, so much derided by the ignorant,
demands woman's exaltation that she
may be able to enter into the highest in
tellectual joys of her husband, and it de-
mands such laws as will fit her for this,
her highest destiny in life. Every law
which has enlarged woman's sphere and
rights has been enacted by men. Below
we submit Mr.. Carlisle S views on the suf-
frage question, and, while we do not en-
brace with enthusiasm his financial views
we do admire his views as to the natural
position of the sexes:
Secretary Carlisle was asked by re-
porter the other day what he thought of
the woman's rights question, and he gave
this answer:
what do you mean, young man?
Should she be allowed to vote? Allowed
Why do you use that offensive word in
connection with women? Who could him
der them or who would try it, should
they want to vote? Haven't l grown
daughters and others nearing the line Of
womanhood? Talk of my allowing them
to do so and so! Who do you suppose
does the allowing business in my house?
The herald., 1895-03-10

Their old father? Not much. They are
the bosses and 1 am gladly obedient to
their directions. Suppose they should
determine to vote. Could l prevent it?
Or would l try to? No, sir. If a woman
makes up her mind to have new carpet
on the floor new hat on her head or a
ballot in her hand, she'll get what she de-
sires, and don't you forget it. Just think
OF it! Suppose, for instance, the
wife, daughters, nieces, etc., of each Jaw
maker should come to him and assail him
With hugs, pettings, kissing and tender
purrings, and beg for the ballot, how in
the name of common sense could he put
them off? When he'd open his mouth
to protest and find it covered with soft
hand, what could be done? If frown
came to his ftr head and four or five
sweet mouths should instantly press the
wrinkles, what's going to become of that
frown? Yes, sir. When woman takes a
notion to vote the laws will get a move
on themselves mighty quick to accommo-
date her. But she will never demand it.
She has got more rights now, ten times
over, than has man. Laws are made for
men. Woman, is law unto herself. If
she's widow and lays a claim before the
court, it is nearly always granted her
not on grounds of justice, but by right of
her sex. Ii she commits crime she's not
often punished, unless it be for the most
heinous and atrocious offense; and if she is
pretty, even then the jury can't see any
guilt in her case. What woman lacks in JUS
tce and right she takes as a privilege.
I'm not speaking of those screechers who
are women only by mistake. Take those
angular gristly, sharp-featured, ugly
creatures, whose masculinity appears in
everything except their dress-among
them you find women who shout for the
ballot. They are usually women who have
no husbands to quarrel at, so they take
their revenge in scolding mankind in
general. They need pantaloons first, then
the ballot as natural consequence.
These women should rail against nature
for not completing the job when it started
in to make men of them. l have talked
with hundreds of women on the subject,
and / never yet found woman who
wanted to vote whose arm wasn't bigger
at the elbow than it was above or below.
One with sweet face, fine bust, small
hands and feet and shapely limbs is con-
tent to let politics alone and rule the roost
at home with her beauty and love-
