Madrid. July 6.-The following
official statement was issued today:
The semaphore from Morro Castle

squadron, after a cannonading with
the Americans, showed no signs Of
injury, therefore the American
news of a rout of Admiral Cervera
must be utterly untrue. More

Prue couldn't go out because 1t was showing. She sat in a rocking chair close to the window. her nose pressing against the windowpane.
 But pretty soon she saw a pretty white bird fly up to the window, and it said: Good afternoon, Prue. Prue started UP, because she had never heard a bird talk before. Then she said: Good afternoon. white bird. Are you not cold this snowy

 Prom my Majesty, the Fairy Queen,

 .I came, for the Queen is going to take a trip to Summer Land, and told me to come here into your People World to see if any little girl would like to take her place while she is away. And l thought you might like to; would you?'

mercy. They colonel told her of Chi quita and promised to take Josefa home to Spain to play with her when the war is oYer."
 Early one morning Josefa was awakened by hearing rifle shots. That was no new sound to her for she was used to the noises of war. But now she started up and ran from the colonePs tent with her dolly in her arms. Some blind fate led her directly to where there stood a grim line of Spanish soldiers. Before them, at distance or some yards, were Cuban young men, two were lads, one an acquaintance of Josefa. Forward darted the little girl, understanding the meaning of the scene at once.
 Emanuel, E.n&nuel," she cried, T will save you"
 But the sword of a Spanish officer u-on horseback had fallen. At the sig nal the rifles had volleyed once more. Prone unon the ground was tn form of little girl. Forgetting dignity mill itary rank, discipline, the officer was beside the child in an instant.
 .'JoSefa, Josera'' he said, brokenly.
 Dear friend she said, second dear papa, I am glad you have come. Here is my dolly. shall not rant it any more. Be good to it and gi e it to your dear Ohiquita and tell her to keep It always and always for me. Good-by. Here is a kiss for Chiquita."

TT was a winter afternoon up in the E Sierras," said Uncle Ben, a'whenl left my log cabin in search of fresh meat. E had been showed in for a fortnight. but the snow had melted enough for me to open the door. With my gun In my grasp, felt ready for any sort of game. Judge of my astonishment when. not 100 yards from the door, 1 saw a large grizzly bear sitting upon his launches.
 find a bear, and with my life seem ingly at stake I realized that l never before had felt what poor shGt l might be. But, being in for it, l took careful aim at MT. Grizzly and pulled the trigger. The gun did not ga oH Neither did the bear stir. He seemed to be willing to give me another shot I threw open the lock of the gun. There was no cartridge in the gum Here I was. face to face with fierce grizzly, and without any effectlVe weapon.
 MT. Bear now lost his patience; or perhaps he smelled the food in my cabin At any rate. he started in my direction, and lively race for the cabin door took place. We went through the door neck and neck. l threw myself upon the bed, under the pillow of which were my cartridges. Mir Bear did not know what to make or InlS, put as He SIOWISu every tiAiiC that I moved I had to give up reaching for the cartridges. The bear was not hungry After he had watched me curiously for awhile he lay down upon a rug in front of the bed and went to sleep.
 Then I once more thought to get the cartridges, to take a shot at the brute at short range. But he knew too much for me. His eyes opened and he growed whenever I moved. There was nothing left for it but to remain quiet. After a while darkness came and with it a driving snowstorm. The door of the cabin was open. The wind whirled the snow in through the door. MT. Bear crawled cut of the wind up in one corner of the cabin, and possibly went to sleep again. But I was afraid to move, for the breathing of my un- welcome. neighbor was light. He was not sleeping very soundly at the best.
 T have never passed through night like that. The chill of the air and the nervous state I was in, owing to the knowledge that, sooner or later, the bear would eat me unless some one should come to the rescue, made my teeth chatter. The bear did not know what to think of the noise. He walked to the bed softly, but I could hear him coming. His cold nose touched my face, and then he licked my hands.

thought it best to pretend to be dead. and therefore played possum to the best of my ability, and to my success in that direction l probably owe my life
 "The night was not so dark but that I could see the open doorway. Once MT. Bears huge bulk .yas outlined against that space and he see ned to be about to go out for fresh air. But the wind blew in a perfect cloud Of snow and he turned back and crouched in a dark corner and I could not see him. All the time he could watch and un- doubtedly did watch me- Every hour seemed an age long and l felt that day would never come.
 Tt was nearing o'clock when I heard noise outside of the cabin; voices and the trampling of horse. Some foolish persons had lost their way in the mountains and had kept in mo- ton during the night, fearing that if they should lie down they would freeze. Mir. Bear heard the noise and went out. I jumped up and seized my cartridge belt, and, with fingers numbed and trembling with the cold. loaded my gun and ran to the cabin door,
 There sat the bear. near the door, upon his hind legs. waiting for the strangers to come up the grade.
 Stand back, l shouted, as l took aim. Stand back, strangers, for I am about to shoot bear
 "The strangers, lost and half-frozen as they were, laughed at this strange remark coming out of the darkness. and evidently wondered what it could mean. But they heard the rife go off, and, as good luck would have it, the bear was so badly hurt that his only thought was to get away. He dragged himself down the trail as the strangers came up. nearly crowding them over a precipice and astonishing them greatly.
 "The strangers were old acquain- tances, Tom Nelson of San Francisco and Edward Martin of Santa Barbara. I made the cabin comfortable for them and we all slept until daylight, with a securely barred door between us and the bear. We found MT. Bear in an ugly mood and ready to show fight, and it took four shots to finish him. By the time we had him skinned and indoors the heaviest snowstorm I have ever seen. in the Sierras set in.
 "We were close prisoners for a full fortnight. During that period we did very we'll and were jolly. having enough to eat and drink, and the wood pile in one corner of the cabin proved to be sufficient to carry us through the storm. My newly found friends had passed through many adventures, of which must tell you later"

PRUE AND THE WINTER BIRD.
BY EDITH LAWSON. SAN FRANCISCO

As they flew along Prue saw lovely things. The bird said they were taking the fairy snow path which led to the Queens palace. Indeed. Prue thought 1t was, for flowers were all made of snow, and houses, trees and grass the same.
 Then she wanted to know where they were going, and the bird said ITO Snowy Fairy Land.'
 'It must be very grand said Prue. 'Ts everything made of snow? Excuse me for asking so many questions, but 1t is very puzzling."
 'I will excuse you" said the bird, "but things are not puzzling when you get used to them. I can't explain now, though. for here we are.''
 where fairies as small as your finger were sitting down on very small chairs to their tea. And in the middle of the tiny ice- houses was one larger than the rest, which was the Fairy Queens palace.
 The bird flew to the ground and told Prue to walk into the palace.
 But Prue said: T am too large; can't get in.''
 The bird said, as he brought from under his wing small snow candy, Eat this and you will be small enough
 And sure enough after Prue had eaten the candy she was as small as the bird himself
 So the bird led Prue into the castle, where Prue saw a tiny ice throne glitter ing with diamonds.
 Then the little Queen said, "Oh, this Is a beautiful person. She shall be Queen always"
 Prue got very excited, butsjust then she heard a well-known voice saying "Prue, wake up and come to dinner"
 She opened her eyes and ran down to dinner. And so it was all a dream.

 Yes, he even fancied that he smelled the odors of the flowers that bloomed in his garden in Spain where Chiquita played hide and go seek with the but terf1ies among the hollyhocks, and where her beautiful young mother sang gay songs or danced to the merry sound of the guitar and the castinets.
 How old are you, little girl?"
 The colonePS voice was gentle and Josefa looked up timidly.

 The purpose of this Is not to bring about a discussion as to where the best little one lives or what is it's name and who are it's parents, but to see how many will correctly guess who is rep- resented by the picture which is pulp lished with this. Two persons have the real answer already-the father and mother-and very likely there are lit- tie children who can make shrewd guess.

THE. YOUNG
 STORY-TELLERS

NHILDREN in the San Bernardino
 public schools, so writes Mrs.
 Margaret M. Mogeau, superin- 0 tendent for San Bernardino Coun- ty. ito whom I have read the best stories on the boys page and the girls page, without telling whether they were written by boys or girls, have expressed a preference, in seven out or ten schools, for the boys stories. That has been the voice of the majority. Where honors were given to girls the masculine element was not so much in evidence This experiment proves to me that literary merit is often lost sight of where the subject IS a live one. such as war, Indians, wrecked trains, daring balloon ascenslons, etc.
 ''The girls touch most tenderly sympathetic chord in the human heart when they write about dear little baby boys beautiful fairies the aerial form love and marriage. In choice of subject, logical treatment, variety of phraseology, taste, style and correctness as to technicalities, the brothers ParadoXical as it may seem, I think the boys stories are more in teresting, but a greater amount of abil- ity is shown on the girls page.
 Thomas J. Kirk, Superintendent for Fresno County, writes: Il have read the DOYS dIlu SiIiS puSCo Sebl Cldiiy though somewhat hurriedly. The girls page seems to me better than the boys both in invention and in delicacy of ex- pression I am reminded of Dr. Hol- lands statement, that ''the false is fairer than the true" and in these stories the rational idealism of the girls surpasses the rough realism of the boys.
 And yet I am skeptical and hesitate to draw conclusion regarding the literary superiority of either sex, even on the assumption that conditions, en- vironment and heredity in these young writers are the same or equivalent. It is no easy matter to determine the rel ative eminence as literators of Harriet Beecher Stowe and her brother, Henry Ward Beecher. Had the compositor omitted the names and pied the stories of the young authors, how many critics of differentiation of style could distin- guish whether the writers were girls or boys?
 Why not have a sort of masquerade ball for the little novelists and let the literati guess boy or guess girl?''
