eaa.e Skill No Longer Required in MAKE
ing Famous Straw Hats.
A strike in the gentle, smiling valley
of the Arno says Rome correspond
emf of the Pail Mall Gazette, hss drawn
attention to the straw-plait Industry
there. 1t is one that is greatly ailecteo
by change of fashions, and has lts Pc
riods of prosperity and depression.
The days have gonc by when the prop
erty about Florence was divloed
amone a few manufacturers o. straw
hats (what the English call Legnorns)'
who when marrying their daughters
gave them a dot Of several Thousand
of scudi, leach scudi being worth louf
shillings), and a straw hat, the stranas
of which. less than millilnetre ID
width. were made Of straws so nne
that, after being woven, magn'fylng
glass was needed to distinguish tnenl.
Now rich travellers travelling through
Florence go no more to the Via Porta
Rosa to pay 100 francesconi ls22 lot
q straw lat to take home as present.
Fashion has transformed the flor-
ence straw industry. The proht no"
comes from the quantity, not the quail
itv: and consequently the hand WORK
at one time sought after and well pala
has gradually decreased in price untii
the wages of the workers are infamous.
When the wholesale price OF D nat al
made and sewed, is q penny or Two
and there are those at even lower
nr1ce-it is easy to imagine what com.
nensation the straw-workers get for
the twenty-five to thirty-fve yarns OIL
made strands which are necessary 1or
one nat.
The skill formerly required IN tne
plating is, however, no longer requn.

NO WARSHIPS ASKED FOR.
CASE OF DR.. RUIZ NOT LIKELY TO
LEAD TO COMPLICATIONS.
Consul General Lee is Still lnvesti-
eating the Matter of His
Death.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-It can be
far, at least, there is no reason for ap-
prehension that the case of DR. Rich
ard Ruiz, who was found dead in his
cell in Jail in Guanabacoa, will lead to
international complications.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the State Department in the
latter part of last week through COM
plaint of some of the friends of the
doctor in this country. The allega-
ton was that the man had been i'm
prisoned beyond the period allowed by
the treaty for an American citizen to
be kept in jail without the lodgment of
charges, and that he had been muir
dered by his jailers. Consul General
Lee was Immediately directed by cable
10 investigate the affair, although it
appeared from his dispatches he al
ready had his attention directed to the
case.
The official reports of the Spanish of
ficers are said to show that Ruiz COM
mftted suicide while in jail, but this
has not yet been communicated to the
Department of State. Meanwhile Con-
matter, and the State Department is
awaiting his report. In the absence of
this the department officials feel no ap-
prehension of any complications and
all stories that warships have been
called for by General Lee. and that
this Government is making ready to
take forcible measures in the case,
are without foundation.
DR. Ruiz was naturalized Ameri-
can citizen. He studied and practiced
dentistry in Philadelphia for some time
and returned to Cuba about the begin
ming of the present insurrection. The
charge upon which he was arrested
was conspiracy in having participated
in the derailing of train carrying
Spanish troops, as result of which
two Spanish officers were captured by
the insurgents.

pie. A force Of Tahitian volunteers,
marine infantry from New Caledonia
and Papeete with sailors from the war
Ships were the combatants.
The bombardment Of Taihaa village
was effected by the warships, and on
January Sd a fight took place at the
village Of Tevaitoa. where the natives
made q gallant fight against the 700
French troops. They suffered defeat
ana had seventeen killed and five
wounded while the French loss was
four wounded. According to the official
narrative the victory Will suffice TO
produce an excellent effect upon these
rebellious natives, who are charged,
among other crimes, with having an

ARRIVED AT GALVESTON.
The Texas Anchors and is Visited by
rlembers of the G. A. K.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 21.-A special
from Galveston says: The battleship
Texas crossed the bar this morning
and came to anchorage five miles out.
To-day the members of the G. A. r.
were the special guests of Captain
Glass.
AT $50 the launches of the Texas
were at pier 90 to convey the veterans,
their wives and daughters out to the
ship, where they spent the day quite
pleasantly The Texas being an
chored in the gulf did not deter large
crowd from going out to see her and her
launches were kept busy all day con-
veying them aboard the Texas and
back to their boats. The launches,
however, were not equal to the emer-
gency and large numbers returned
with only a sight of the ship.
Tomorrow the Texas will begin re-
ceiving coal and Wednesday weigh an
chor and sail for New Orleans to be
the attraction at the Mardi Gras fes-
tival unless complications should arise
during the cruise, so that her presence
may be required in Cuban waters.
