Port au Prince June 1S,-The facts
in the story of the so-called revolution
here are as follows: A drunken man
yesterday morning was found rolling
in the street with a revolver in his
hand. He was shouting "Vive la revo-
luton" or in other words cheering for
revolution. The local authorities
were notified and the man was arrest
ed and promptly shot. There has been
no other incident of a revolutionary
nature in this city recently. The town
Is absolutely quiet.

London, June 1S.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Times says: Ac-
cordng to Manila advices dated June
10 and brought here by her majesty's
ship Linnet the rebels have captured
the family of Captain General August.
In most cases the desertion of the
native regiments have been accompan-
led by massacre of the officers. 1t
is reported from Shanghai that the
Spanish archbishop for Manila has ar
rived there by the German troop ship
Darmstadt.

London, June 1S.-Senor Sagasta, re-
plying in the cortes to question as to
whether Manila has fallen, replied in
the negative, but he added that the
situation there was grave. The dis
patches from Madrid agree with this
statement together with the report that
the rebels are attacking the walled city,
and it causes intense depression.
Japan, according to a dispatch from
Shanghai, is sending additional war
ships to Manila and it is reported at
Shanghai that the American troops
have arrived at Manila.
1t appears that when the German
cruiser Kaiserine Augusta entered Ma
Mia bay that she took the unusual
course of saluting the Spanish flag.
Another is that Captain General Au-
gust has resigned because of dis
agreement with the archbishop of Ma
Mia.

There is no necessity for interference,

There was desultory firing yesterday

Masury appealed to the American con-
sui and characterized the act of the
torepdo boat captain as that of a pi-
rate. He was promised the protect
tion of his consul while he remained
in port, but he was at the mercy of
the Spaniards if he yentured out to the
open sea. Masury has written TO
President Mckinley, but has not vet

ducks and other fowl swim?" The Sau-

you BREW YOUR OWN TEA.


The Secluded and Tasteful Snuggery a
Woman Has Started In Town.
From New York Sun: An enterprise
not yet a fortnight old is tea lunch
con room near one of the transfer
corners of an uptown thoroughfaro.
You would take it to be a florists shop
on first glance, so empowered in grow
ing vines and potted plants are the
deep window seats, The broad-striped
awning slants down over the pavement
recess as though to keep out prying
eyes and make a snuggery of the place.
Private and secluded looking as it is,
however, the mistress of this little tea
luncheon room is well known, and fas-
tidious customers enter her doors and
take comfort at the white-draped
tables. Tea rooms and eating and
drinking places there are in New York
by the hundred but this is the only
one where the candidates for good tea
actually brew thu beverage themselves,
the proprietor furnishing the fresh
drawn water, the requisite quantity of
tea for the number of cups ordered,
lighting the little alcohol lamp be-
meath the shining kettle, and then
leaving the result to the brewers, to
be STEPPED just as long or as short
time as the individual may deem best.
Each of the little tables is furnished
with necessary equipment for :ea
brewing. The customer has a choice
of oolong, English breakfast, mix
ture of green and black tea if prefer
red, and for is cents the pot of fresh
tea holding enough for two can be Sc
cured. The china in use in the place
is all green and white, of graceful
shape and decoration. A slender glass
vase of spring flowers has place in the
center of each table, the tumblers are
of thin, fine glass, the silver and nap
cry pretty and distinctive, and the
whole equipment, from the tasteful
green frigerators at one end to the
pretty menu cards, looks inviting, re-
freshing and rnshoplike.
Il believe l shall do well" says the
proprietor as she listens to the en-
thusias'ic praises of some tired out
out-of-town shoppers who have stop
ped over on their transfers long enough
to get cup Of tea. "Of course when
men come in, and they do in the af-
ternoon, make their tea for them but
most women like to draw it for them
selves and to know just how long it
boils, and all that. The chickens for
my sandwiches and salads come all
cooked fresh from my home farm, and
I get new laid eggs in each day and
all the fruit in season. My strawberry
shortcake is a speciality with the cook
who makes it," The tea is the strong
point with the restaurant; but break
fast, consisting of coffee, rolls, and
fried, boiled or poached eggs can be
had as early as $50 in the morning
and the fernery is open to customers
all day. The fact that the only places
in town where simple refreshments
can be secured and partaken of amid
refined surroundings are both public
and expensive led TO the starting Of
this new venture.
