The aggregate bonded Indebtedness
Of the civilized nations of the world in
1894-the latest year for which full re-
turns are obtainable-was equal to $34,-
456574,000 in United States gold, and
the greater part, perhaps so per cent,
at least $50, 0O0,OO000O, represents ex-
penditures in war and investments in
war material. Great Britain stands at
the head of the list with a debt of So
sos, 659,00O. The United States ranks
eighth, after France, Germany, Russia,
Austria, Italy and Spain. We know,
adds the Chicago Record, that the peace
of Europe is preserved by the men who
hold these bonds; that the bankers Of
Frankfort have more influence in fan
ming or in qnenchihg the fffmes of war
than the cabinets Of the kings.

until the tide rose and brought them,
for there was not a breath Of nir TO
move a SAIL Slowly and sadly came
home. aud our little household
had supper and choortd the
lingering hours with prose aud
poetry aud conyorsalion. Ever and
anon / cnmo out and listened for q
song 30 float its melody over the wa
tors, ior they always como back aing-
ing, hut there was uo sound save tho
ominou8 notes OF q Ecreech owl aud tho
plaintiyo song of tho whip.poor-will in
the grove near by. At o o'clock We
put the little girl 10 bed, but she. too,
lld become excited, and couldn't
sleep. / sat by her and strokod her
hair and her hands for an hour, whom
AZ last, with q sigh, she dropped
asleep. Eleven o'clock came and ~
and u 80 o'clock, and / reasoned that
the boat was on q Bandbar and could
not get of till morning. A boat party
from Duneden was stranded on O bar
last week and bad 10 stay there AZ
night, and their families and friends
we're greatly alarmed and sent on5
searching parties for them. All is net
gold that glittors, even at Clearwater.
At hali-past o'clock, while was nod
ding in my chair, / was suddenly
awakened by the sound Of voices, and
my heart bounded with gratitude aud
Joy. The long suspense was over, for
i had imagined many distressing things.
Twice the little girl had talked in her
sleep, and sighed and said, ooh, mer-
cyw
Ny daughter threw herself into q
chair and exclaimed, "Oh, I am so
tired and so thankful :" and another
daughter said: ''Now, don't scold us
one bit, but listen to our tale Of woe:'
We started back at 3 o'clock, but soon
found our boat becalmed away out in
the gulf, and we could not move half Q
mile an hour. When night came we
were FIVE miles from home, and after
we got into the north pass we lodged
On a sand bar and had to wait for the
tide 10 rise and float us off, and the
four gentlemen then got into the little
boat and pulled at the oars with all
their might for three hours and towed
the big boat after them. Oh, it was
awful, and some Of the girls got aw-
fully sea sick and fed the fishes and
lost their dinner, and we had a new
pilot and lost our way; and it was just
awful, awful If I live a thousand
years, I will never go out so far in the
gulf again"
Well, of course, I did not scold
them; but will bet 50 they go again
next week if they are invited. AL
ready this morning they are Boosting
of what a good time they had at the
grouper banks, and how they caught
thirty-seven, and one that Miss Eng

SPIDER WEB Wells.

The very latest is a large, delicate
mesh somewhat resembling a spiders
web. A curious little white speck
like a fly near the left eye and on the
right close by the mouth is an ar
rangement Of spotswhich might easily
be mistaken for a spider. This veil is
bordered with a little narrow edge of
Honiton lace and two loveknots with
in a reasonable distance of a pretty
mouth. If the veil is white the spider
and the fly are black, and vice versa.
This might truly be called the allegor-
ical veil, assuming the face to be
young and innocent, looking at the
world beyond with wondering eyes.
The old-time useful fashion of gather
ing the ends and front, making the
veil fit comfortably around the face,
has been quite done away with. In.
stead, it is allowed to hang loose and
fall in funny little frills, resembling,
on a smaller scale, the godets of our
gowns. A few years ago this fashion
was the special prerogative of old la.
dies. Some women have born talent
for buying wells, and it is generally the
woman who is not over young TO
whose toilet becoming veil is more
important than all the rest. The most
popular these cold days is a heavy
chenille dot and very close together ;
in this the white-haired woman with a
youthful face is seen at her best. -

RYAN FACADE Is CONDEMNED.
Building Inspector Kingsley Orders
1t Taken Down AT Once for
Public Safety.

The ruins of the Ryan annex and the
Schultz block which were literally gut
ted by the fire yesterday morning, were
visited yesterday by thousands of per-
sons. The eastern half of the Ryan
annex and the Schultz block three
{ hours after the fire started consisted
of only the walls of the buildings and
. a heap of debris in the center of each
of the enclosures. The fire from the
time it was discovered until it was
practically extinguished burned with
intense fierceness and seemed to almost
defy the efforts Of the department.. Ev-
cry piece of apparatus in the depart
ment which could be used was in serv-
ice, and the members of the depart
ment from the chief and his assistants
down to the minor employees worked as
never before in the history of the de-
partment. That the Ryan hotel, the
western part of the annex and the
Hale building on Jackson street are
standing uninjured is due to the work
of the firemen and the battle royal
which they gave the flames. There was
a disposition in some quarters yester-
day to criticise the manner in which
the fire was handled by Chief Jackson,
block burned When it is known how
ever that the burning of this block was
due more to the faulty construction OF
the two buildings nothing remains to
be said
When Chief Jackson reached the
scene he saw at a glance that it would
require we'll directed and hard work to
save the Ryan hotel, and he at once
flames to the building in which it
started and prevent the hotel from
fire. When the roof of the part of the
annex in which the fire started fell in
1t carried with it a portion Of the wall
on the sixth floor Of the building be-
tween the annex and the Schultz block
This wall, which was only eight inches
thick above the sixth floor and into
which the joists of the two buildings
were set, pulled out for distance of
twenty feet 1t was through this open
ing that the fire caught in the Schultz
block, and as the members of the de-
partment and the apparatus were hay
ing all they could do at other points
the result was inevitable.
The 6 o b e yesterday covered the
fire very fully. The estimate of the
loss then given was close to the figures,
and readers of the paper were given
complete account of the blaze when
they unfolded it at the breakfast table.
There was no loss of life, and with the
exceptions of several members of the
fire department, who We're thrown from
the roof of the boiler and engine room
of the Ryan hotel by a falling Of
portion of the rear wall of the annex,
there were no accidents. A number of
persons roomed in the Schultz block,
but as it was nearly an hour after the
fire started before it extended to this
block they were given ample time to

QUIET AT HAVANA.
No Immediate Outbreak Expected
in the Cuban Capital.

3 HAVANA, Dec. i19-The correspond
ent of the Associated Press has inter
viewed many merchants bankers and
other persons high in business circles,
political chiefs and leaders of existing
political parties, and the concensus of
opinion seems to be that the resolution
Of the foreign affairs committee Of the
United States senate will never pass,
and that even though it does, the pres
ident will not approve it or permit him
self to be Influenced in any way by the
advocates of war with Spain. Conf
dence is expressed here that "the good
sense of the president and the infiu-
eEce of the conservative element Of the
United States must ultimately prevail"
Quiet refgns throughout Havana to-
night and no disorders have resulted
from the announcement Of the action
of the foreign affairs committee Of
the United States. Opinion, however,
seems to be unanimous that any
foreign interference In the affairs Of
Cuba will meet with disapproval here.
and that all parties loyal to the crown
will unite to- repef any invaders with
as much energy as is manifested by
Senior Canovas del Castillo, president
of the council of Spain himself
1t is reported here that Carlos Sarate,
an insurgent leader, has deserted and
surrendered to one of the Spanish out
pests. Interviewed yesterday at San
tiago de Las Vegas, u f1e confirmed the
announcement OF tl1e4 death of Maceo
and young, Gomez. aHe says that the
former was buried near the village OF
Govea. During the course of the inter-
view, he also statedgthat Perico Del
gado was twice seriously wounded dur
ing the encounter with Maj. Cirujeda
and his forces near Pt1nta Bravo, when
Maceo was killed. III

lives. None of the tenants In the
Schultz block saved any Of their effects
and as there were over a score who
had offices in the building, some having
little and others no insurance, the loss
will be severely felt in a business way.
The work of the police department
during the fire was most efficient, and
Capt. Rouieau was highly commended
for the manner In which he directed
the operations of his men. AS soon as
the scene of the fire was reached, Capt.
Rouleau realized that dangerous con-
tingencies might arise and at once or
dered extra details of patrolmen from
the sub-stafions. The patrol wagons
soon brought the detachments and al
most before the crowd began to gather,
the approaches to the fire from all sides
were guarded by policemen who al
lowed no one to pass the lines to en-
danger their lives and interfere with
the work of the department. Capt.
Rouleau established a temporary head
quarters in the the rotunda of the Ryan
hotel and received reports from the
lieutenantS and sergeants every few
minutes. Old officers, familiar with the
local thieving fraternity, were station
ed at the entrances OF the hotel, and
no matter what the excuse, none were
permitted in the building who were not
at the fire in some Official capacity.
Patrolmen were stationed on every
floor Of the hostelry to calm the fears
of guests with assurance of no imn1e-
diate danger. and after the fire was
over many big policeman received
a warm hand clasp from timid wo
man whom he had piioted down stairs,
or from q little child whose terror he
had assua ged. Col. Welz was loud in
his praise of the work of the depart
