SPANISH SHIPS SAIL.
Three Formidable Vessels Supposed to
Be Coming Westward.

Washington, March 3O-The navy de-
partment has received dispatch saying
that several Spanish warships have left
Cartagena, Spain.
Their destination has not been learned
as yet. The news excited great interest
at the navy department.
1t was learned later that the ships are
the armored cruisers Infanta Maria
Theresa and Cristobal Colon and the tor
pedo boat destroyer Destructor.
The information Of the sailing of the
ships was contained in a dispatch to the
state department from United States
Minister Woodford at Madrid Carta-
gena is Spanish naval station on the
Mediterranean Sea, and, according to the
minister's dispatch, the ships were head
ed westward" This, it is said, is un-
doubtedly the most formidable array of
vessels that has departed from Spain in
this direction during the present crisis,
and the presumption generally held by
the navy department officials is that
they are headed ultimately for Havana,
and Will be first heard of at the Canaries.
The Infanta Maria Theresa is sister
ship to the Vizcaya, which visited New
York preliminary to her trip to Havana,
where she now is. The former is built OF
steel, is 1854 feet over all, of 65.2 beam.
and has displacement of $3.50 tons, with
a mean draught Of 21.6. Her speed is put
down as slightly over twenty knots an
hour. The Cristobal Colon is 1928 feet long
and 59.8 beam. She is of 6840 tons dis
placement and has a speed Of twenty
knots.
The convoy of the vessels, the Destruc-
tor, is formidable ship of her class and
capable of excellent service.

HOW TO AVOID LUMPY- DRAWN
BUTTER

Lumpy-drawn butter for fish sauce IS
an impossibility, if the simplest care is
given to it's preparation. An ounce Of
butter should be melted in clean sauce
pan, and into it is spTinkled from an
ounce to an ounce and half Of fine
sifted -four. This Is stirred to form a
thick, smooth paste that will leave the
sides of the pan clean. Add to it, when
this condition has been reached, half a
pint of boiling water and let it boil over
the fire for ten minutes, stirring it all
the time to prevent dumps If, despite
all care, some Jumps have formed. It
can be poured through a sieve on its
way to the hot sauce dish. Despite the
ease with which this unappetizing con-
dition Of the sauce is obviated, many
housekeepers seem to accept the lumpy
sauce as trying but inevitable.

tack each other with force and arms on

passed away and nothing should be al
lowed in the dealings of nations with
each other which the principle of the
Christian religion will not sanction in
the case of the individual. That is the
unfailing rule
