DAINTY SANDWICHES.

Fashion has approved of the sandwich probably because it is so English Both white and fine-grained brown bread are tied with ribbon or cut in some fancy shape Here are few of the most popular sand- wiches of the present moment.
 Peanut sandwiches are perhaps the new est kink in sandwiches. Spread the thin slices of white bread with mayonnaise dressing and cover we'll with brown pea nuts that have been roasted. Served with sherry. they are delicious.
 Raisin sandwiches are quite the thing to serve with lemonade or sweet punch and are made by cutting large raisins in half with sharp scissors and removing the seeds Lay the fruit closely together between the thin buttered white bread and moisten with 8 suspicion of brandy or sherry, but not enough to reach the bread and make 1t soggy Cut the bread in fancy shapes.
 Hot cheese sandwiches are particularly nice for Sunday evening tea and are a great favorite with men. Slice the bread very thin and cut 1t round with large biscuit cutter. Put a thick layer of. grated cheese between the two forms, sprinkle with salt and dash of cayenne pepper, and press the round pieces of bread well together. Fry them to delicate brown on each side in equal parts of hot lard and butter, and serve very hot
 For salmagundi sandwiches, to a half cupful of thick mayonnaise add two table, spoonfuls of whipped cream, desert spoon- fu of horseradish and two of finely chopped cucumbers. Spread the bread with this mixture and then with a thin layer of finely chopped rare beef, and cover with more dressing and bread.
 To make caviare sandwiches take a small box of Russian caviare, turn it into shallow dish and beat into it, alternately a little at time, lemon juice and olive, stirring until you have a thick white paste. Spread thickly upon bread and scatter over the top finely grated hard-boiled eggs.
 For olive sandwiches chop the olives very fine and mix with chicken livers that have been thoroughly cooked and mashed quite smooth. Use one-third flyers and two- thirds olives, mixing the whole with thick mayonnaise dressing. Serve in fancifuI forms of white bread, cold.
 Between the slices of white bread but tered place tender nasturtium leaves we'll covered with mayonnaise dressing. These are to be seiNed with game and must be

Spain Loses Most Favorable Season for

FRIGHTfuL PICTURE OF MISERY
Given by La Discussion in Describing the Dislri- button of Food Reconcentrados dos-Some of Them Presented Appearance
 of Living Skeletons.

Washington, Feb. 2-The Montgomery will sail tomorrow from Key West for Matanzas, Cuba, as the first port of call in Cuba.
 It is said at the navy department that the Montgomery, after leaving Santiago, will stop at some other ports on the coast of Cuba and then proceed southward to the coast of South America, perhaps extending the cruise as far south as Rio de Janeiro, where she may join the south Atlantic squadron
 Other cruisers and gunboats probably will follow the course of the Montgomery generally from time. to time so that the United States flag will be seen oftener in the future in the waters of the south of us than 1t has been for many years past. For this purpose the small gum boats recently added to the navy originally for service in Chinese waters, are said to be admirably adapted and they will be used freely

 Mail Matter Tempered With
 Mail matter in the Havana postofice continues to be tempered with. There are eighteen extra men duty opening let ters and reading newspapers before de- livery. While European mail matter gets through all right, correspondence from the United States, especially from Tampa and Key West, is most carefully examined. Letters from Madrid to members of the opposition party are opened The delivery of the mail is habitually delayed several days Newspapers are held much longer, and are are often not delivered at all. In many cases letters and valuable papers fail to reach their destination, the failure causing severe loss.

regiments to be mustered out Of service,
but has been in constant correspondence
with various sections of the county upon
the subject. At first it was thought that
the demand to remain III the service would
prove embarrassing to the department as
SO many troops desired to continue in
service. 1t is now believed that there has
been a change of sentiment and the Off
GERS and men of regiments that see no pos

go back to their avOcatlOnS. Some want
to go to the new possessions, but others,
it is said see no glory in policing Santiago
and other captured points where there is
nothing to do. Some of the troops are also
becoming weary of camp life. The First

now comes an order to Col. Wheeler, chief
