SLAUGHTER OF
 MISSIONARIES Cruel Acts of Insurgents of Sierra Leone. GAINS PARTY MURDERED THREE WOMEN NOT SPARED
 BY THE BLACKS. Five Persons Who Went to Enliehten the Natives Become Victims of
 Their Prejudice and
 Fury.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, May 25.-A letter received in this city from Sierra Leone, west coast of Africa, says that a Manina native who was with the American mis. sionaries at Rotufunk when they were massacred by the insurgents, but who made his escape by resuming his native garb. furnishes the following account of the tragedy:
 We started to walk to Sierra Leone. but had only gone half a mile when we met war boys who blocked the way. Rev. MT. Cain tried to frighten them by firing a revolver over their heads, but, seeing tn y were determined to do mischief, he cast his revolver away and said he would not have anybody's blood on his hands.
 "The war boys then seized the party, including Misses Hatfield, Archer and Kent (Schenck), stripped them of their clothing, dragged them back to the mission house, in front of which the war boys cut down Rev. MT. Cain and hacked him to death and then treated Miss Archer and Miss Kent (Schenck) in the same way.
 Miss Hatfield, who was very i'll, was thrown on a barbed wire netting and finally her throat was cut. Mrs. Cain escaped to the bush with a native girl, but the war boys went out seeking for them and they were afterward killed

American Ships While Standing Off at Sea Could Easily Throw Shells Into the
 City.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, May 25.-One of the pas sengers on the Boston Fruit Company's steamer Brookline, that arrived in Bos- ton this morning from Port Antonio, Jamaica, was pr. Pulaski F. Hyatt, United States Consul at Santiago de Cuba Dr. Hyatt left Santiago de Cuba on April T. when the United States Consuls were ordered out of Cuba by the State Department and went to Kingston, Jamaica He has been on the island of Jamaica since.
 Dr. Hyatt is the best posted man now in this country on the general conditions prevailing in Santiago and the char acter of the place as a haven for the Spanish fleet. He sums up his opinion by saying that If the fleet Is really there it Is in a very tight jug"
 Tt will not take long to starve them out" said pr. Hyatt, and they may easily be destroyed if they try to come out. Although the entrance of the har- bor of Santiago Is narrow. the hills high and the channel crooked, am or the opinion that great damage could be done the Spanish ships by shells from our fleet The range from the
  the Spanish ships will take Is about four miles. The basin where they must lie is about two miles long, and the whole harbor from the entrance to the head is six miles long. The town IS five miles from the entrance or the channel, on the right Of the harpoF' and the anchorage is off the town.
 "The channel leading to the inner harbor Is so narrow that in places two ships cannot pass abreast This cnan- nel was mined when I left there. l saw seven torpedoes at the mouth or the channel off Morro. Others nave probably been placed there since The Notifications at the mouth Of the mar Dor could easily be knocked to pieces in my judgment. The Morro Is old, ana built of masonry. I have never learned that the guns were formidable. None of the Notifications there mount heaVy guns"
 Consul Hyatt has already forwarded information concerning the fortinca- tions and other military defenses of Santiago to the Government. The only battery at the entrance of the channel having any special elevation IS the Morro. This Is about 300 feet above the water. The other batteries are near the waters edge and the two inside Morro can get a range if the fleet keeps to the right of Morro. There IS new battery opposite Morro, but not for hill could get the exact range or the town and basin, and could direct the fire from the fleet.
 II think there would be no trouble in getting an elevation on the guns of the ships sufficient to drop the shells right on the decks of the Spanish fleet, said MT. Hyatt.

No Fear Felt Over the Possible Coming of Spanish Naval
 Re=enfOrCements.
Preparations to Soon Throw Immense Bodies of Troops Into Cuba, Porto
 Rico and the Philippines.

1 posed Cuban and Philippine military expeditions
 The Presidents determination to is- 1 sue another call for volunteers was
 reached at yesterdays Cabinet meet | ing. Tn few weeks our available mil | itary force will comprise 278,000 sol | diers. General Miles has finally been ] sustained by the President and Cabi- net, and it is now believed that fully one hundred thousand men will be sent to Cuba, if necessary, twenty-five or thirty-five thousand to the Philippines, and at least twenty thousand to Porto Rico.
 It Is certain that Porto Rico will be invaded, the only question being whether 1t will occur before, after or simultaneously with the Cuban inva- sion. It is the general opinion here that at least % 900 troops will immedi- ately be sent to Cuba, to be rapidly fol- lowed by other expeditions. Cuba will probably be attended to first, for it is well known by close friends of the President that since the discouraging news received from Havana about the deplorable condition of the surviving reconcentrados he has been extremely
 
 fishing a base of operations and a sup ply depot. He realizes that landing cannot be effected by a few soldiers, and 1t Is quite likely that instead of sending to Porto Rico any of the troops now mobilized at gulf points he will dispatch them all to Cuba within a very few days.
 The thirty troop ships now at Tampa have carrying capacity of from twen- ty to twenty five thousand men.
 News that the Havana batteries are being bombarded Is expected daily now, for besides immediate relief to the starving reconcentrados, if any now survive, 1t is believed that the Havana Notifications will be reduced before Spain's reserve fleet can cross the At lantic.
 No credence Is given the reiterated | Madrid reports that Spain's reserve fleet is destined for the Philippines. The increase of troops to be sent to the islands by this Government was not actuated by a fear of this, or of | Spains threat to send military rein forcements to the Governor General. i But, as in the case of General Miles, General Merritt's advice has been heed ed He is not willing to endanger the lives of an inadequate force. Besides l our soldiers may have trouble in re- straining the rapacious natives, who are, in truth, as much to be feared as 1 the Spanish soldiery. It is believed that the Philippine expedition will fin ally comprise 35,000 men.
 That the Cuban and the Philippine ivy ca6 ic- best indicated by to-day's call for 75.- 1 900 more volunteers, when our availa- ble military force already comprises l 203, 900 soldiers.
 California is to furnish 1922 more men, under the call issued by the Pres | ident to-day, but whether they are to be assigned to the infantry, artillery or cavalry arm of the service will be de- | termined later probably tomorrow, by the War Department.

NAVAL GAME BEING
 PLAYED AT SANTIAGO
Sampson Has the Option ofAttacking Cervera or Starving Him Into
 Fight.


 ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT WANDA, OFF HAVANA, May g (filed at Key West, May 25).-At daybreak on Mon day morning the entire squadron under Rear Admiral Sampson was lying di- rectly opposite the entrance to Havana harbor, about ten miles off shore, a formidable mouse-colored fleet of bat tleships, monitors, cruisers, yachts, lighthouse tenders and torpedo boats. A half -hour later thick columns of black smoke began to pour from the snokestacks of the assembled fleet and slowly, almost imperceptibly, the flag ship began to move to the eastward.
 A number of vessels were left behind on blockade duty, the acting flagship flying blue pennant About two hours later a large double-masted and double funneled cruiser came steaming under full headway from the westward. When within hailing distance and without slackening her speed, she exchanged signals with the acting flagship off Ha- Vana.
 Afterward the squadron was in the Nicholas Channel, off Cardenas, head ing for the old Bahama Channel. The squadron was proceeding with care, for Admiral Cervera had not yet actually been bottled. and care must be taken

 THE NEW CHARTER
XASMIN HOUSE, Stanford University.


 ! believe that the chief cause of the failure of mu- nicipaI government in the United States lies in the conversion of the public service into patronage to be distributed among per- sonal favorites and parti- san workers. The pros posed charter of San Fran cisco perpetuateS this con- dition of the distribution of patronage by individuals and cIiqueS.

The many men of this world who suffer from the effects of foolish practices would make an army. But it would be an army of weddings. 1t could accom- plish nothing if called upon. These half-men are not full of the fire that it takes to make a good soldier. They feel at all times as though they need help. And quite often they fear that they will never be able to get any. Early follies may be made up for, though, if you only seek help where you are certain to find it. The moment that you feel that you are being assisted you begin tO

Cdi4 OlllCcS 1llSSS I1OuSe,
 Washington, May %. Although the Navy Department still refuses to make public it's advices from the West Indies, bright faces and a general air of buoyancy and exultation at the department tell the story better than words. Although Secretary Long has imposed a strict injunction of se- crecy upon his subordinates which amounts to a censorship, the head of the American navy is not quite able to hide the whole truth himself, strive as hard as he will He imparted to the President to-day two pieces of welcome intelligence:
 First, that Admiral Cervera was, in his opinion, bottled up in Santiago har- bOr by our iron -clads: and, second, that the big battle-ship Oregon has arrived at Jupiter Inlet, Florida. In alluding to the Spanish admirals predicament the Secretary fell easily into newspaper parlance and used the now hackneyed expression, bottled up"
 To the press correspondents Secretary Long will not admit that he has any official or definite knowledge of Ger veras whereabouts. but expresses his opinion as based upon a general
 
 Indies" As Secretary Long is not In the habit of freely expressing his opinion unreservedly and with such en- phasis, 1t cannot be doubted that he Is possessed of information showing that we have the hostile fleet securely locked up in Santiago harbor, where 1t can do no harm.
 With the Manila fleet annihilated and
 
 thirds of Spain's navy is effectually done away with But what if Spain should send over her reserve fleet, the remnant of her boasted navy? If this fleet should threaten our North Atlantic coast cities would not our blockading squadrons at Santiago or Havana have to be withdrawn? These are questions that many ask.
 The best answer to them is- a state ment made by naval expert to The Call correspondent tonight:
 1.-TWO or three of our vessels are all that Is needed to guard the Santiago channel I believe that the Oregon could do it alone. The channel is so narrow that the vessels of Spain's s fleet must of necessity emerge one at a time. The foremost could only bring neT DOW guns Into aCLlOl, WnlIe the mighty Oregon could pour a broadside volley of solid shot and shell from her immense ten, twelve and thirteen inch guns. The Spanish vessels could be sunk one by one. but it would only be necessary to sink the first one that showed herself. The channel is only about thirty feet in depth at its mouth, and one sunken vessel would block it and prevent the egress of the others. We need not fear Spain's reserve fleet. Our flying squadron will still be free lance on the ocean, and can take care of the Spaniards wherever they may appear, and at the same time there will be a powerful squadron left under Sampson's command for the lombard ment of Havana"
 This is the situation briefly expressed. The President and Cabinet, being well satisfied with the naval situation, have now turned their attention to the pro-

lest the fox turn and dash out of San- tiago, around the east end of Cuba, up through the Windward Passage and north to attack the cities of the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Ir all likelihood Commodore Schley will be able to spring the trap and then Rear Admiral Sampson may hasten to San tiago.
 A great game Is being played and the situation is one of extreme sus- pense. After Admiral Cervera is sealed in Santiago harbOr, the problem will be, as in the case of a "varmint" caught in a trap, whether to shoot or starve him. In any event, Admiral Cervera, 1t Is believed, cannot reach Havana. Two powerful fleets, each having fast vessels, as we'll as heavy ones, each able to destroy him, are closing in upon him,

''Her big limbs ended in tiny hands and feet, which are the ideal of beauty with so many women. As a little girl Natalie possessed the arms of a well-stuffed chair and the legs of piano. As a young lady Voluminous sleeves and draperies only permitted one to observe hands which corresponded to the little tassels which usually finish off chair arms and feet not much larger that the castors in which piano legs always terminate"
 In ancient statuary the human foot Is shown to us in its purity. but, alas! how far removed from this model is the mod ern, fashionable foot, with its twisted toes, points pressed out of shape and heels hoisted high in the air. It is un- doubtedly true, as has been often assert ed that high heels are the cause of many of the diseases that make chronic inva- lids of women. It stands to reason that anything which throws the body out of its natural position and pushes the feet forward upon the toes must strain the back and have an i'll effect upon the gen. eral health
 Shoes that are too loose rub the foot and induce corns as often as those which are too tight.
 Pointed toes are an abomination and are certain to produce corns and enlarged toe joints.
 The sensible shoe for woman Is the one that is long enough and broad enough to admit of her throwing the full weight of the body upon the ball of the foot

PLATED WITH BANDS OF NARROW BRAID FOR BICYCLING.

ming I saw a dress of white duck trimmed with very narrow bands of velvet ribbon. These were lightly sewed on along the upper edge, and were to be ripped off when the dress was laundered.
 Extremely clever young women have a way of trimming these light skirts quickly There is a very pretty ruff ling which comes so that it can be buttoned along the upper edge. The rutfiing is made of null and edged with lace. It comes in all colors. Along the top is very narrow band in which are buttonholes. The band is made invisible by an applique of lace. After the skirt is laundered this ruttle is but toned upon the skirt, and so the trim ming is quickly put on. One can have several sets of these ruffles ready for immediate use Even with the dorp un- derskirt the trimmed skirt is neces- sary
 A lined sash is regarded as a part of a skirt trimming and is worn with ends
