Ornamental designs on the surface of waterproof fabrics are now produced with fine effect, by English manufac- turers, the process being peculiar one. A layer of the usual rubber mixture is spread on the fabric to be waterproofed, this proofng substance being com pounded with finely comminuted asbes- tos, either before the operation of proof ing or by spreading the asbestos powder on the prepared cloth. The particular method of applying the asbestos is de- termined, in each case, by the charac- ter of the ornamental effect to be pro- duced; for most purposes, proportion of equal weights of the comminuted and rubber mixture, per square yard of fabric, yielding the desired results, both in respect to quality and appearance. In those cases where the asbestos is applied to the rubber mixture, after be- ing spread, an even layer of .farina or other similar material Is applied; and the printing operation is then perform ed by means of rollers, blocks stencils. stamps, etc.

According to a recent London esti- mate, only about 2500O American tour ists visited the English capital in the course of the past season, and this is regarded as a very poor catch. The jubilee was a great disappointment as an attraction for cousins from over the water. It was expected to bring them over in focks, all eager to spend nor ". but it seems to have had a deterrent effect, on the whole, and shop keepers suffered rather than profited by the festivities. The average tourist from ''the States" we are told, scatters about $1.000 while making three months trip dn Europe. This multiplied by 25,0O0,

Our citizens who have visited the
cities this week report the greatest
excitement prevailing there ever
known. 1t is almost impossible to
travel on streets where newspaper
bulletins are posted. The militia are
drilling every day and night and are
flooded with applications to join the
first regiment out. The armories are
filed with enthusiastic onlookers, and
cheer after cheer greet the boys as
they march past the crowds in the

their patriotism by wearing a small
flag on their coats, while "Old Glory"

Off Cuba.
Mangrove Fired Three Shots
Across the Panama's Bows
Before She Stopped.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 27.-11:l5 a.
m.-The big Spanish steamship Pan.
anna of the Ceballos line, which left
New York on April 20 for Havana,
with number of Spanish refugees on
board and a very valuable cargo, in.
Guiding, it is understood, stores for the
Spanish army, was captured about 20
miles from Havana by the little light
house tender Mangrove, now belonging
to the mosquito feet. The Mangrove
mounts two 6.pounders and four 81
revolvers. She is commanded by Lieu.
tenant Commander Everett and has a
crew Of IL men. ..
The Panama is of about 1850 tons,
and very valuable cargo.
How the Capture Was Made.
When the Mangrove sighted the
Spaniard she ran up to her and fired q
gun across her bow. The liner did not
take the hint and a second shot was
fred, after which the Panama slowed
down little. A third shot was fired
across the bows of the Panama at 100
yards and the deck officer of the Span
ish vessel was hailed and notified that
if he did not heave to shot would be
sent through his vessel. This noti1ca-
ton caused the Panama to be brought
to. Ensign Brayton boarded the Span
ish steamer and took possession of her.
The Indiana then steamed up and
Commander Everett notified Captain
Taylor of the INDIANA, that he had
captured the Panama and borrowed
prize crew from the battleship consist
ing of Cadet Falconer and Is marines.
The Mangrove was then ordered to
report to the flagship and Rear Ad-
miraI Sampson told Commander Ever.
cit to take his prize into Key West.
The Panama is understood to have had
80 passengers on board. AS she rounded
to after the little Mangrove captured
her, the latter, knowing the Panama
was an auxiliary cruiser, expected TO
be fired upon. 1t is not yet known
whether the Panama had guns Oh
board.

cent practice, it has already been an
nounced that the policy OF this gov
eminent will not be to resort to prlva'
teering but to adhere to the rules OF the

Now, therefore, I, William McKin-
ley, president of the United States of

in me by the constitution and the laws,
do hereby declare and proclaim:

States ship shall be permitted to con-
tinue their voyage if, on examination
of their papers, it shall appear that
their cargoes were taken on board be-
fore the expiration Of the

herein contained shall apply to Spanish

lestation; and if any such vessel

age to any port not blockaded.
Sixth-The right of search is to be
exercised with strict regard for the
right of neutrals, and the voyages of
mail steamers are not to be interfered
with except on the clearest ground of
suspicion of a violation of law in re-
spect of contraband or blockade.
