BLANCO'S MEANS OF COMMUNICA-
TON WITH MADRID STOPPED.
DARING DEED OF OUR MEN
One American Killed and Several
Will Die from Wounds Received
During the Terrific Shower of Lead
But Spanish Loss Will Greatly
Exceed Ours-Story of Engagement.

Key West, May 15.-Amid a per
feet storm OF shot from Spanish rifles
and batteries, the American forces cut
the cables at Cienfuegos Wednesday
morning. Four determined boat crews,
under command of Lieutenant Win
slow, and Ensign Magruder from the
cruiser Marblehead and the gunboat
Nashville, put out from the ships, the
The work of the volunteers was peril
GUS. The cruiser Marb1ehead, the gun
boat Nashville and the auxiliary
cruiser Window, drew up 1000 yards
from the shore with their guns
manned for desperate duty. One cable
had already been cut and the work was
in progress on the other when the
Spaniards in rifle pits and a battery
in an old lighthouse standing out in
the bay opened fire. The warships
poured in thunderous volley, their
great guns belching forth massive
shells into swarms of the enemy. The
crews of the boats calmly proceeded
with their desperate work-and fin
ished it Notwithstanding the fact that
a number had fallen, returning to
their ships through binding smoke
and heavy fire. One man in the Mar
blehead boat was killed and six were
seriously wounded, one Of whom, Rob
ert Volz, now at Key West, is expected
to die soon, a bullet having passed
through the base of his brain. Harry
Hendrickson, who also may die, was
shot through the abdomen. More
than 1900 infantry on the shore kept
up a continuous fire and the bullets
from the machine guns struck the
warship 100 times, but did no great
damage. Commander Mainard, OF the
gunboat Nashville, was slightly
wounded by a rife bullet striking him,
it having passed through the arm OF
an ensign, whose name is unknown.
Lieutenant Winslow was shot in the
hand, making three officers wounded
in all. After the Spaniards had been
driven from the rifle pits, many OF
them took refuge in the lighthouse
fortress, upon which the fire OF the
warships had been centered. A 4-inch
shell from the Window tore this
structure to pieces, killing many and
burying others in the ruins The
Spanish loss is known to have been
very heavy, the warships firing hun
dreds of shot and shell right into
their midst.

A SAMOAN BATHING PARTY

By-and-by the visitors, one by one,
retired to their houses, and at about
ten o'clock, the rain by this time hav
ing ceased, and the moon coming out
in all her sp1endor, the girls suggested
bath. So off we started, singing,
laughing, and chattering like children
just released from school, till down by
the beach we came to a miniature
fresh-wateir lagoon. Each girl as she
reached the waters edge UNFINISHED
the lava, or linen waist-cloth,
that formed her only garment, and as
it fell to her feet, dived into the pool
Having improvised a bathing-suit
with towel followed, and there in
the moonlight we splashed about and
dived and swan, the girls with their
1.-the, graceful figures, and dripping,
cleaning locks, looking like band Of
dusky water-nymphs from some old
pagan paradise. After the bath the
girls ran races, and was initiated in
to the mysteries of a game that was
the Samoan equivalent of the old
English kiss-in-the-ring All went
merrily, till the shouting and laughter
brought an angry old gentleman on
the scene, who informed us that it
was quite time that all decent people,
Samoan or otherwise, were asleep.
Not altogether sorry to take the hint,
retired under my mosquito-nets,
while the girls stretched themselves,
and soon we were all asleep.-John
Harrison Wagner, in Harper's Maya.

IN CONTINENTAL CITIES.

American and English women trav-
elers and shoppers in continental Eu-
rope get no little amusement out Of
advertisements printed in very bad
English for the Americans benefit.
To be informed of ''hosieries confec-
toned on measure" of complete din
ner thea services for six to forty-eight
person" or of manufacture prices"
is not so productive of conviction as
of entertainment. The managers of
the Austrian State railways apprise
English readers by placards in their
cars that ''in this case (of certain de-
lays) the re-expedition of the luggage
can only be effected by directing
written request, in addition with the
keys to the baggage left behind and
the receipt got while posting the
aforesaid goods. New York Tribune.

CUBA IN HISTORY.
What Has Happened There Since the
Discovery in 1892.

Cuba was discovered by Columbus
on his first voyage, in 1892.
The great navigator, taking it for a
continent, sailed entirely around it,
and declared in his report to the
King of Spain that it was ''the fair
est land on which his eyes had ever
rested" The natives were gentle and
peaceful until they learned cruelty
and vengeance from the savage treat
ment they received from the Span
Iards. Columbus went among them,
and took with him back to Spain
some of the beautiful native girls as
examples of West Indian grace and
simplicity.
The first organized attempt made
by the Spaniards to colonize Cuba
was in 1911, by Diego Velasquez, who
brought over a small force from San
to- Domingo, the large island to the
east of Cuba. VelasQuez was a typi-
cal Spanish conqueror, and resorted
at once to typical Spanish methods,
The gentle and simple natives were
frightened when they saw the Span
farts on horseback, and fled before
them. The tone of the old chroni-
clers in relating such scenes is one OF
eommiseration for the benighted in
teIlects of the poor heather, or Of ex-
ultatiOn which told too clearly the
story of their own gross ignorance
and fanaticism. They were hard
rors Of the Inquisition at home, and

Cider Vinegar.

First, have good, strong, iron
hoped barrel. Next have good apple
cider. Cover the bungholes with mos
quito netting or other material that
will keep out the flies. The bungs
ought not to be put in, except tenn
porarily, for at least year. Keep the
vinegar barrel in the garnet or other
place where the air is warm and sui
try. The cellar is bad place in which
to make vinegar To hasten fermen-
tation occasionally turn the cider out
Of one barrel into another, thus ex-
posing it more fully to the air, and
by adding gallon of strong vinegar
or little mother" to each barrel.
There are other methods by which the
process may BE hastehed still more,
such as trucking it through beech
chips or shavings; but these are hard

are content to wait on the natural

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, May 11.-For more
than three hours the senate discussed
what is known as the railway arbi-
tration bill-a measure designed to
adjust by means of voluntary arbitra-
ton the differences that may arise
between railway officials and their
employees. Mr.. Kyle (rep., S. ID in
charge of the bill, offered a number OF
amendments which were agreed to-.
In order to meet objections raised to
the measure Mr.. Hoar rep, Mass.)
offered an amendment which was ac-
cepted providing that no injunction
should be issued which should COM
pei the laborer against his will to
carry out any contract for personal
labor or service. The bill was still
under discussion when the senate ad-
journed.
After refusing by a vote of 4S to 80
to consider the senate bill restricting
immigration, the house took up the
house resolution to submit to the
states a proposed amendment to the
constitution SO as to provide for the
election Of senators by direct vote
The amendment as proposed in the
resolution as reported to the house
left it in the discretion of the states
to elect senator's by direct vote or
through the legislatures, but an amend
ment by Mr.. Underwood of Alabama,
making the selection by popular vote
mandatory, was adopted and the res
olution passed. Mr.. Loud called up
the postoff1ce appropriation bill passed
by the senate, and upon his motion the
house refused to concur to the senate
amendments and asked for confer
ence.

WHY SHE TAUGHT.
She first essayed grand opera,

She first essayed grand opera,
And sadly failed;
She tried to sing in concert then,
And only walled;
In choir and chorus twas the same
The audience quailed.
At last twas plain she couldn't sing
AS she had thought;
So she retired for good and all,
Unknown, unsought;
Then singing she would teach, she
said,
And so she taught!

The Value Of the Lemon,

The Value Of the Lemon.
No woman should be without lemons
on her toilet table. They are about as
necessary nowadays as soap, SO those
who believe in them say.
Lemons" exclaimed one who be-
lieves in them religiously. why I
wouldn't be without lemons a whole
day for anything. 1 once heard Of a
Frenchwoman who was considered the
most beautiful woman OF her time, and
she attributed her good looks to eating
eight oranges day for 1865 days in the
year.
I'D be willing to declare solemnly
that lemons will do far more towards
identifying a woman than oranges.
Nothing in the world bleaches the skin,
hands, and face like little diluted
lemon juice applied at night. and,
strange to say, unlike most bleaches, it
softens the complexion. Then the
finest Of manicure acids is made by
dropping teaspoonful OF lemon juice
In cup of tepid water. This removes
all stains from nails and skin and
loosens the cuticle naturally and much
better than any sharp instrument. A
dash of lemon juice (only dash) in
plain water is an excellent tooth wash,
removing tartar and teaspoonful OF
the juice in a small cup of black coffee
Will drive off bad headache. Best of
all, the juice Of lemon taken with
teaspoonful of soda, cooking soda, after
each meal, will reduce the fat of any
flesh-ridden woman"

Resplendent IN 81 the hues Of the
rainbow are milady's stockings. Silk
ones in gay plaids have first choice,
and then isle. So low have the Isle
been brought down In price that there
seems no excuse for any woman wear
ing the clumsier cotton this season.
Gay reds, blue and green's are blended
together in plaids and stripes and find
equal favor. Blue polka-dotted ones
are very popular, and no woman seems
to fear the opprobrlus title, WAS
bleu.' Many patterns in vogue years
ago have been revived and vie with
those of later model. Silk open-worked
ones in long lacey stripes or patterns
over the instep or up the front are very
smart for evening wear with slippers.

Patriotic COzey Corner

One might as well be out Of the
world as out of the fashion. A cozy
corner is fashionable, as well as a
comfortable adjunct to every complete
home these days. Why not combine
fashion, comfort and the patriotism
everybody is bubbling over with Just
now and have an American corner in
stead Of a Turkish one? It certainly
would be original, unique, different
from any one else and a change, which
Is often relief. The home decorator
can easily carry out in red, white and
blue the cozy corner our picture rep
resents. Bunting answers nicely for
back, sides and canopy, the sides to
be finished with band of stars. The
seat may be upholstered in red, rep,
denim or burlap, but preferably the
latter. Small brass buttons should be
used for tufting instead of the regula-
ton upholstery button. A shield, ba-
yonet, sword, badges of the Grand Ar
my and relief corps, or anything sug-
gestive Of the army or navy can be
used to advantage. Framed copies of
the Declaration of Independence, the
Emancipation Proclamation, or photo
