British Consul Invokes Clemency. 81
1t is known that the British consul is
interested in the behalf of the Com
petitor's captives sentenced to death.
He inyokes clemency for the prisoners.
This action of the British government
in the case has caused a sensation here,
and it has been the. topic OF, comment by
all social classes in the community. Il
would be difficult to say from any ad-
missions made in official quarters what
effect this new development will have
in the case. There is marked absence
of irritability manifested in the com
ments on the subject, and the action Of
the British official seems to be taken in
very good part. It is pointed out that
the intervention of the British consul is
couched in different form from that Of
the United States consulate, and is, in
fact, expressed in very friendly terms,
invoking the clemency of the Cuban au-
thOrities "

Popular Feeling Demands the Execution OF
Filibusterers. H.. q
MADRID, May 11.-There are evf:
dences Of growing popular excitement
in Spain over the attitude Of the United
States government toward the question
of the fiibusterers captured on board the
Competitor. The news of the capture
of the men was received with great sat-
isfaction and rejoicing. It was felt. to
be the first opportunity that had been
offered to make an example Of those en-.
gagged in feeding the insurrection. The
popular demand for their execution is
general and is likely to become yocifer-
GUS. Little account is taken of the
questions of treaty Interpretation in
volved in the protest Of the United
States government against the execu-
ton of, tho sentences. The action of
the United States il regarded rather as
an expression Of sympathy with the in
srlrrection and there will be strong
popular clamor to disregard it.
Surprised at Uncle Sans Conduct.
Ell Liberal declares that the Spanish
government ought to have sent squad
ron to Cuba, in addition to arming all
the transatlantic steamships at its dis
posal for that service. It asserts that
the steamer Bermuda, belonging to the
Cuban insurgent committee, embarked
upon the Florida coast 10000 rifles,
pieces of artillery, 8 mitrailleuses, q
quantity of munitions of war and 60
men, the majority. Of whom were gun.
ners Of the United, States militia, for the
supply Of the insurgent forces in Cuba.
This embarkation took place, FL Liberal
says, in spite Of the. protests Of the Span
ish consul at Jacksonville against al
lowing it, and the Bermuda left without
difficulty or obstruction, and, according
to the kilograms received from Captain
General Weyler, the expedition has al
ready landed. This report has created
q sensation in Madrid, and astonish-
ment is expressed by Ell Liberal at the
conduct Of the United States in the
matter. .n''''*:",' '@'

Since the passage OF the city ordl-

women who ride wheels find q necos-
sary 70 carry a match box. Therefore
there are any number OF new match
boxes, which are smaller and more
dainty than anything In this line ever
seen before.
DO the girls buy them?" a proml-
nont jewelcr was asked. To which
question he answered: Yes. indeed
The smaller sizes are made partleu-
larry for their special use"
The prettiest OF the new match boxes
for girls are OF gold. with an onameled
decoration. The enameling either takes
the form OF a college or yacht club
flag. or Il resembles a hand-painted
miniature showing q girl on a wheel,
or the head OF a dog. Many Of these
match boxes are made with a con-
coaled recess for a photograph. Il Is
only when a certain spring Is touched
that the picture can be seen, so skill
fully Is II hidden away.
