There is new fad abroad In the way
of betrothal gifts-new and novel and
one whose origin it would be hard TO
trace, unless we go far back into the
customs of the Orient and there find it's
prototype. The proper way to seal be-
trothal compact now is to give a bangle
but not just an ordinary bangle to slip
up and down the arm-not the old fash
toned, common place bangle which is fas-
tened with pretty lock, the key to which
Is carried next the heart-but a gold or
silver bangle, just large enough to slip
up and down the ankle, fastened with a
little lock.
This Is the latest, says the New York
Herald, the very latest and newest fad.
The bangle may be of gold or silver, Just
as the donors pocketbook will allow, and
the little lock which fastens 1t must be
secured by a gold or silver key.
The origin of the fad can only be found
In the East, where bracelets and bangles
are as common on the ankles as on the
wrists. Every one who has read "Eala-
mmbo" remembers the delicate, dainty,
golden circlets which clasped her pretty
ankles, only that Sa1ammbos were chain
ed so that her feet could only step lust
so far and no further.
The bangle must be loose enough to al
low the stocking to be taken off and put
on without removing the circlet. II must

The summer girl of '9s will have many
fads and fancies. but probably she will
rejoice in nothing so much as IN her store
of sashes. Every frock, no matter how
simple, says Dame Fashion, must be
''sashed," and accordingly the up-to-date
maiden Is unwearied in her search for
novelties in that line.
First Of all Is the airy and elegant sash
the material, null, net chiffon or or
candle, Is cut In half lengthwise, neatly
hemmed at the bottom and on the raw
edge and Is then trimmed with ruffies
of the same material or with lace, ribbon
or folds Of silk. The wider and fuller
the sash, the more modish, and as all the
fullness is gathered into a small rosette
at the top there Is no undue bulk at the
waistline.
Plain satin RIBBON about three inches in
width is also much liked and when trim

has gone into the business Of raising

care for on her land, selling the rest as

Of the fourth year she had a flock OF sixty

SPANISH PRIYATEER LOOSE.
Navy Department Informed That a Vessel
Carrying Five Guns is Off British
Columbia,

Washington, July s.--The Navy de-
partment has been informed that a
Spanish privateer carrying five guns is
lowering off the coast of British Colum-
ba. According to last accounts the
privateer was between Prince Charlotte
sound and DiXon's entrance. Prompt
Instructions have been sent to the mill
tary authorities of the northwest coast
to prepare for visitation
Rich Pickings.
San Francisco, July s.-If a Spanish
privateer is really cruising off British
Columbia, which is not believed, she will
have rich picking. The steamers Roa-
noke and St. Paul are due to arrive al
most any day from st. Michaels with big
shipments of treasure to the North
American Trading and Transportation
company and the Alaska Commercial
company. The steamer Leelanaw is
also due with returning prospectors and
their clean ups. The Roanoke and
Leelanaw are bound for Seattle and the
st. Paul for San Francisco.
Consul Smith verifies the Report.
Victoria, July s.-United States Con-
sui Smith has notified the department at
Washington that Pilot Westerly, who
had been engaged to take the steamer
Alpha north, abandoned the engage
ment, having received a contract to
take tug boat to the privateer lying
hidden in Queen Charlotte sound, and
to act as pilot. The pilot has been paid
$1,000 cash, the contract price being
$4,000 Consul Smith is very reticent
over the affair.

LIEUTENANT HOBSON TALKED.
Merrimac Had Rudder Shot Away Prevent
ing Blockade of Entrance to Harbor-
Taken TO MORO Castle.

New York, July s.-A special to the
Herald from off Santiago quotes Lieu
tenant H0bson as saying the reason the
Merrimac was not sunk, as originally
intended, directly across the channel
was because the Merrimac's rudder was
carried away by shot from Spanish
ship. The run into the harbor was
very exciting, submarine mines and tor
pedoes exploded all about the vessels
and a hot fire came from the shore bat
teries and Spanish ships. Lieutenant
Hobson says: "We attempted to get
out of the harbor on a catamaran. but a
strong tide was running and daylight
found us still struggling in the water.
Then the Spaniards saw us and a boat
from the Reina Mercedes picked US up,
and we were sent to Moro castle. The
Spanish were not disposed to do much
for the comfort of the prisoners at first,
but after our army had taken some of
their men prisoners, their treatment was
better"

SPAIN KNOWS OF HER DEFEAT.
Republican Organizations Active-More
Troops Called 0ut-Loyalty Of SOL
diers Serious Question,

London, July s.-A special from Ma
drid says All Spain knows Of her de-
feat and the people are beginning to
realize the magnitude of the disaster.
An important circular has been sent all
the Republican organizations signed by
the leaders and bearing the motto, ''pre-
pare" Extraordinary military precau-
tions have been taken to quell any in
ternal troubles. The second call has
been issued for the Canary Islands re-
serves and additional forces of home in
fantry and cavalry are being raised.
The artillery is being augmented by two
pieces to each battery.
The peninsular armies will total up
99O,O 900 men by July Is. High authori-
ty, however, expresses the opinion that
the rank and file of the soldiers feel
that they are being driven to bloOdshed
for an unjust cause by scheming poll
ticians, and he therefore doubts the
army's attitude in the event of civil
troubles. The officers too, while anX-
ious for war, are divided on the ques-
tion of loyalty to the different claimants
to the throne. This question of success
ion is an. important factor in the terri
bly, tense situation. 1t Is believed that
the government is anxious to find pre-
text on which to arrest Weyler, fearing
the part he might play IN the event of
trouble breaking out.
