HELPS Mrs. Potter Palmer In Fighting
Her Social Battles.

New York July 26.-It was expected
that Prince Victor would attend the din
ner given by Chauncey NJ. Depew at New
port. but he was too tired with his previ-
Gus efforts and dined at home. Mr.. De-
pew himself arrived in town so late. owing
to delav on the train, that he was
scarcely in time for the dinner.
There has been an effort to freeze out
Mrs. Potter Palmer on the princes visit,
as some of those in society are jealous of

heels by dancing twice one night with Miss
Grant This is to be still further aggra-

will give in honor of the prince. Among
those who will attend are Mrs. William

GETS TWO BRITISHERS.
United States Will Acquire the Tartar
and the Athenian.

San Francisco, July ga special to
the Chronicle from Vancouver, B. c.,
states that the Canadian Pacific rail-
way cOmpanys steamships Tartar and
Athenian are anchored in Vancouver
harbOr, having been taken off the KIon-
dixie route. Their stores are being re-
moved and they are to become United
States transports.
AS they are British naval reserve
boats they can not be transferred to the
American government directly, so that
they will pass through the hands of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company be-
fore being converted into troop ships by
Uncle Sam. The Athenian is registered
at 4 900 tons and is constructed to carry
/, 500 men, and the Tartar is a 1000 ton
Ship built to accommodate 1 200. Both
ships can travel II knots an hour.

| Severe Criticism.

Bangor, Me. July 26.-Fear of Span

the war department to fill the narrows
at Bucksport with mines. When the
engineers got the mines all laid they

port Immediately went up howl of
Indignation from the shipping. people;
FINALLY. after much telegraphing and
writing, it was promised by the war
department that a channel 200 feet
wide should be opened through the
mine field for steamers, and the storm
subsidized, while the shipping people
recommended that the board of trade
dfsband or confine itself to such harm

mines have not yet been removed, but
soon will be, and meanwhile a big fleet
of vessels is waiting for chance to
get to sea.

London, July 26-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says: There
is still an endeavor to keep alive the i'm
preston that something is going on
behind the scenes in the direction of
peace, but the prevalent idea is that the
war Will continue until the fall of Ma
Mia and the invasion of Porto Rico
Peace is impossible. There is more
unanimity in Spain with regard to the
necessary sacrifices of territory. The
ministers, having arrived at an under
standing Will await the march of events.
A cabinet crisis has been aVerted for
the time being.
Those who succeed the present cab

The Daily Chronicle claims to know
positively that no peace negotiations of
any sort have occurred between the
Spanish and the United States govern

clothes being cut and torn by bullets in
three places, but he escaped injury I'M

QUARREL OVER MONEY.
Porto Rican Junta in New York May
Be Disrupted.

New York, July 26.-New York's self-con-
stituted Porto Rican junta, at the head
of which is DR.. Julio Henna, also presi-
dent of the Porto Rican republic, which
has never existed except in the hopes of
those Porto Ricans in New York who COM
pose the junta, is just now passing
throug troublous period. Neither the
leader, DR.. Henna, nor the secretary, Rob
erto Todd, was recognized in any way in
the appointment of the Porto Rican expe-
dition to accompany General Miles.
DR.. Henna's projects for bringing about
the recognition of Porto Rican independ-
ence have fallen through and there is a
prospect that General Tomas Estrada
Palma of the Cuban junta will immediate
~ begin inquiries to the disposition of
a large sum of money which it is said was
given by the Cuban Junta to the Porto
Ricans for a specific purpose.
Yesterday after General ralma returned
from Tampa he was visited at the Raleigh
hotel by General Lluveras, the actual rep
resentatfve of the revolutionary party in
Porto Rico. Almost before the greetings
were over General Palma demanded ex-
citedIy to know what had become of the
money.
Where are bonds and gold which your
junta received from ours and from Paris?''
he asked. I'VE gave it to you to help US
al the beginning of the revolution and to
L
You have done nothing of the sort and it
should be returned"
you have given US nothing" General
Lluveras answered. You gave that fund
to DR.. Henna and Mr.. Todd, whom I do
not recognize as Porto Rican representa-
tives. The few Porto Ricans who reside
in the United States and who selected
these gentlemen as their leaders do not
represent the island. We have never asked
aid from the Cuban junta, but from the
United States. That we have obtained
and Porto Rico will soon be United States
territory"
General Lluveras further suggested that
General Palma obtain from DR.. Henna
and Mr.. Todd some account of the dispo-
sition of the funds given them by the
Cuban junta, assuring him that none of
the money had been spent for Porto Rico

Capt. EuIate Losing His Mind Because
of His Misfortune.

Annapolis, Nd, July 26.-Annapolis
neople. particularly those in communi-
cation with the Spanish officers now
on naroIe here, believe that Captain
Gl1,1ete commander of the Vizcaya, IS
losing his mind as a result of the de

ence undergone by him for weeks prior
- the time when Cervera's fleet made
i+s fatal dash out of Santiago harbor
A majority of the Spanish officers are
in a state of mind that is pitiaoie and

turn to Spain. The officers realize that
their careers are practically ended, so

FASHIONS.

After the spring costumes are disposed
OF. the next question is how to make the
silk gowns that are % comfortable and
cool during the summer months, and
that look % smart on the warm days
even in the spring. This season there
are Q great many varieties Of silk to
choose from, and apparently there is no
arbitrary law as to what shall be chosen.
Tafeta silk il q warmer material than
India CT foulard, and, q rule. is more
expensive; but it has one point in its
favor, and that il it is not absolutely
necessary to make it up over q silk lin
ing-the skirt especially, now that silk
skirts are made separate from the lin
ings. will hang just a. we'll over IN un-
der skirt Of percaline. cambria or tie new,
kind Of lining with satin finish. and Ill
that lining will require will be to be
faced up about . quarter or half q yard.
The waist also can be lined, with cam.
brio or even lawn; and il the gown is to
be worn only in midsummer the lawn
will be found the very best of linings. -
it ID % much cooler than anything else.
Its only disadvantage is that it stretches,
but careful cutting and good sewing will
do away with much OF this difficulty.
Black tafsta skirts are extremely use-
full. just at present in the big cities
they are rather common. for so many Of
them have been sold ready made; but
they have smart look, even when 90
many Of them are worn, and are q very
good investment. They are made ruffled
to the waist, with two or three deep
AouLces, with the apron front, and the
attached fiounce. either gathered. cut on
the biae, or put on in eide plaitings. OF
they are made quite plain, cut circular
and trimmed with graduated bands Of
velvet or satin. There 10 still another

than the dull black, but both are fashion.
able. The lowered taffetas are extremity
attractive. The checks and plaids are
effective, and are cleverly designed, 90
that the plaid, even when large. does
not interfere with the lines OF the figure.
This is accomplished by the cut Of the
skirt in tho different cores. Then there
are the bayadere designs, which, made
up into skirts without any trimming,
look rich and very smart. These come
in all different shades OF blue with the
stripes in white. and then the grays in
oil the different standings. The greens
are not 90 much the rage, but the
shepard plaids in all colors are greatly
in demand.
The very newest fad Of the season is
tho revival Of an old fashion-the silk
visite which our grandmothers wore. 1t
consists OF little coat OF taffeta, which
can be worn with any slkirt-not only OF
silk, but OF other material as we'll. The
prettiest model 10 made with the back
in basque shape; the front is loose,
but with long tabs; the sleeves are very
email. with cap over the top, and q
high turned back collar faced with some
bright color. The silk is covered with
tiny cording or shirring put on in as
fantastic pattern as can be devised. It
il not supposed to be lined, and is to be
worn either over q thin shirt waist or
with false 'front.' 1t is held in place
by q narrow belt which goes under the
front pieces. 1t has not as yet appeared
excepting at the private dressmskers'.
but is already becoming a craze. For
women who cannot wear shirt waists
there is nothing smarter or cooler. OF
course it is not q very easy model to
make at home. but it is a possible one,
