Mark Tyvain's Cramp,

At an evening party in London some

up writing. but I'm so afraid of that

BAREFOOT CHILDREN.
1t Has Been Decreed That Feet Un-
shOd Means Health and
Strength.

1t was no unusual thing the past
summer to meet the barefoot boy" at
every turn among the smart set. Mas
ter Millionaire had discarded shoes
and stockings for the hot weather and
trudged through country grass and
over seashore sand in the full blissful-
ness of barefootedness, says the Phila-
delphia Press.
This was an encroachment on the
custom which has prevailed in the
south for many years. There the chill
drcn of the best families run unshod
all through the summer. Far from
making their feet large and unshape-
ly.as some have supposed. this freedom
from footwear allows natural deyeI-
opment and prevents troubles of the
feet. One tall and graceful southern
woman, who never knew a summer in
shoes until she was half grown, wears
now double A, q size which anyone
might envy, for few feet are narrow
enoug to carry it.
The healthfulness of this new fad is
undoubtable. The principles of air
baths are contained in it; all the
foundations of physical culture are its
footholds. I radical physician has
lately declared that infants ought not
to be hurdened with any clothing at
all for time. so that their little bodies
could absorb all the oxygen possible.
The barefooted child in summer is q

The novelty of it attracts children

Cuban Camp Followers.

Our Cuban contingent increases
steadily. Fully eight hundred in
surgents hover about the advance line
all the time. AS fast as the outposts
are moved forward, the Cubans come
up and hang their hammocks among
the trees and cook and gossip anil
sing, and apparently enjoy themselves
greatly. They are friendly anG hos

turesque. They have gathered up an
immense amount of clothing and blan.

A FLYING SQUADRON
Assembling at Hampton Roads Under
Command of Commodore Schley.

Assembling at Hampton Roads Under
Command of Commodore Schley.
Commodore Winfield Scott Schley,
at present connected with the light
house board, has been ordered to com
mand the flying squadron at Hampton
Roads, with the Brooklyn as his flag
ship, and will take command OF the
squadron at once.
His command at present comprises
three vessels-the Brooklyn, Columbia
and Minneapolis, all ocean greyhounds
but in a short time his squadron will
probably be swelled to about a dozen
ships.
Commodore Schley refused to talk
at all concerning the rumors that the
flying squadron might be sent out to
intercept the Spanish torpedo boat
fotilla.
Two battleships are on their way to
add to the fighting strength Of the fly
ing squadron. They are the Texas
and the Massachusetts. The Massa-
chusetts is first-class battleship OF
1O,228. tons displacement,while the
Texas is a second-class battleship OF
6,315 tons.

The Boards Report Delivered.

Commander Mark, Judge advocate
of the court of inquiry delivered the
report of the court of inquiry to Sec
retary Long early Friday morning and
shortly after it was carried to the
white house and placed in the hands
of the president. At 10:30 the cabinet
assembled, half an hour earlier than
usual, and began the consideration of
the momentous document. Even the
rigid rules of secrecy which prevailed
at cabinet meetings were made doubly
in this case and no intimation of the
results reached by the court were
known until o'clock, when an Asso-
ciated Press bulletin gave the informa-
ton to the country as we'll as to other
waiting officials. These results, briefly
stated, are. that the loss of the Maine
was due to an explosion from the out
side, the court being unable to fix the
responsibility for the explosion. The
court does not express an opinion as
to the character of the explosion, but
the testimony goes to show that 1t was
a powerful submarine mine, the exact
character of which is not determined
by the testimony, though the belief
was expressed that it was floating
submarine mine.
There were two explosions, the
court finds--the first was from the
outside and that set off one of the
smaller magazines. 1t was this result,
expressed in detail and with the pre-
cision of court deeply conscious of
its responsibility, together with the
evidence on which it was based, that
occupied the attention of the cabinet
throughout its extended sessions of
the morning and afternoon. All other
and lesser subjects gave way to this
foremost question. There was no
change in the plan of making the re-
port public and transmitting it to con-
gress early next week, accompanied
by brief message of the president.

WAS BLOWN UPEXTERNALLY
Says the Court Of Inquiry in the
Maine Explosion.
DOES NOT FIX RESPONSIBILITY ON SPAIN.
State Department Has Cabled Minister
Woodford to Notify Spain of the
Courts Findings War Prepara-
tions Show Great Activity.

The court Of inquiry appointed to
Investigate the cause OF the Maine dis.
aster has reported that the loss of the
battleship was due to an outside ex-
plosion.
The state department, by direction
Of the president, has' cabled United
States Minister Woodford, at Madrid,
to notify the Spanish government Of
this conclusion. The president and
his cabinet advisers held two extended
sessions Friday-one at 1880 a. m.
and another at $3.50 p. mat which
the report was considered in detail.
Members of the cabinet stated after
the meeting that the discussion was of
grave character, and that never since
the wrecking of the Maine has the sit
uation seemed so critical.
The Spanish government has cabled
officially to Washington that the Span
ish naval commission hold the disaster
to the Maine to be of internal origin.
The government of Spain, it can be
stated positively, is not disposed to
turn back the torpedo fotilla now pro-
ceeding from the Canaries, and would
be disincliped to consider a suggestion
from this government tending to inter
fere with the disposition by Spain OF
her own naval forces.
3 War preparations on an unpre-
cedented scale are being hurried to
completion by the war and navy de-
partments, and the country practically
is on a war footing.
The record of Friday is one of the
most eventful days the nation has seen
since the close of the civil war. 1t
was day Of profound and important
action, of the deepest anxiety, coupled
with naval and military activity-one
step following another in rapid success
sion. Representative men of the ad
ministration, public men of all branches
of official and congressional life, nc
less than the public in general, shares
in the tension to which the situation
has been wrought. There was nc
effort at concealment among the highest
officials, nor indeed was it possible, fol
it was clearly apparent from the devel,
opments of the day, to minimize the
situation.

lean Officers Except Lee.
The Associated Press bulletin that
the court of inquiry had fofrd the
Maine was blown up by submarine
mine, created intense excitement at
Key West.
The most significant development
that followed the announcement Of the
report--a development known to but
few-wss the sudden sailing OF the
lighthouse tender Mangrove for Ha-
vana. The Mangrove was lying quietly
at the dock, loading buoys, when or
ders came about o'clock Friday after
noon for her to proceed with all haste
to Havana and to take on board all the
American officials in that city. with
the exception of Consul General Lee.
1t is feared that the knowledge of
the courts report has excited Hayana's
population and brought the anti.
American sentiment to a climax. Off
GERS of high rank we're still reticent.
Rear Admiral Sicard, however, said'
1.-The court of inquiry brought its
findings according to what its mem
bers believe. Nothing could have
made them do otherwise. If they had
been able to fix the responsibility I
feel sure they would not have shirked
