Without Waiting for All of
His TraDsDOrts.

WASHINGTON. July T.-As result Of
the telegraphic correspondence between
General Brooke. commanding the First
army corps at Newport News. and the Of
ficiaIs of the war department. General
Brooke to-day was authorized by Secretary
Alger to push forward with his fast ships
at once to Porto Rico. leaving the slower
transports to follow when ready. This ac-
ton was based on General Brooke's report
that the movement of his troops was be-
ing delayed by the difficulty of getting the
troops equipment aboard some of the
transports. He suggested that he be all
lowed to start at once with such of the
transports as were ready, and Adjutant
General Corbin telegraphed him to-day
that the secretary of war had approved his
proposition and authorized him to act ac-
cordingly.
The action is in strict accord with the
policy of the administration as announced
by Secretary Alger last night. to prose-
cute the war vigorously in Porto Rico and
elsewhere. regardless of the Spanish nego-
tiationS for peace.

THINGS GOOD TO KNOW.

1t is very advisable to fold up and pre-
serve all brown and plain white paper that
comes into house as wrapping for par
cells. There is no reason why wrapping
paper should ever be bought if this small
precaution is taken. Smooth the sheets
out, and have. special place on the top
shelf of cupboard for the sheets SO that
the household may know where to find
wrapping paper whenever it is needed
Printed paper should never be used for
wrapping purposes. as the printing is LA
BILE TO come Off upon the articles enclosed,
and the parcel so wrapped is always un-
slightly. Waste newspapers can either be
sold by weight ID a butcher or grocer, who
is generally glad to purchase. or may be
torn up and folded to make gas or lamp
lighters. They are also useful for lighting
fires; and newspapers laid between the
bars of bed and the mattress prevent the
-lathS from being marked by possible rust.
To Disinfect a Sink.-In hot summer
tide very strict attention should be given
to the sink. so that no i'll odors from it
may be able to permeate the house. After
washing dishes, etc. at the sink. Il bucket
of water mixed with powdered charcoal
should be thrown down the waste pipe, as
charcoal is a renowned purifier and disin-
fecting agent. Cabbage water should never
be thrown down sink, as 1t smells for
days; but thrown upon the garden beds,
out OF doors, may do the plants real serv-
ice.
Pleasant Observation-Disclosures to powder

LONDON, July sS-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Biarritre. France. says:
THE Basque provinces, Ma Farye and the
mountain districts of Aragon and Cata-
Ionia, the reported stronghold Of Cariism.
are now on a war footing and a military
occupation of all that country is nearly
complete. In many places the troops are
camping out because the villages do not
afford sufficient accommodation.
More troops. including artillery, are being
sent to complete measures for meeting the
Carlist rising if attempted. The whoie
Spanish army is being strengthened two
companies for each battalion.
THE government believes that the Cariists
boast of more strength than they reaily
possess and will attempt nothing yet. Stiii
the situation is that the Carlists are max
ing ready to profit by the first signs OF
popular effervescence in an effort to foment
revolution. The government is now pre-
pared to check them Immediately.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail
reports an interview with one of the chief
supporters of Don Carlos. whom he found
Drumming over with confidence" He said
that Don Carlos would issue pronunela-
mento the moment Spain was committed to
a demand for peace.
"All the north of Spain is eager and

in Catalonia and the Basque provinces
without the necessity for striking blow.
Then will come the time for war.
THE present dynasty counts for MOTH

siderable part of the army. The only gen
eral on the side OF the present government
is PoIavieja, but he e-will be unable to re-

the Republicans are on our side, for, al

their own affairs according to their own

Don Carlos will suppress corruption ana

Weyler hesitates and moves between Car

pared for that

The government Of France has notified

Spain has made proposals through NJ Cam

United States embassy. Mr.. Henry Wig
maud, say the embassy has not received any
information regarding the peace negotia-

that the announcement saying they would
be conducted here is premature.
The French officials assert that the first
proposal was sent direct from Madrid to
NJ Cambon. the French ambassador at
washington, IN MS capacity as representa-

States. NJ Cambon thereupon cabled to

the latter has transmitted to the French

SPAIN MUCH CONCERNED.
Feared That Commodore Watson's
Squadron Might Find 'Facfli-

LONDON, July 2s.-The Gibraltar corre-
spondent Of the Daily News says:
"A curious exchange of civiIities has
passed between Great Britain and Spain.
The Spanish consul here. under instruc-
tions from Madrid. called on Sir Robert
Biddulph, governor and commander-in-
chief at Gibraltar, expressing concern lest
the Americans should find facilities at
Gibraltar. The governor relied that the
Spanish government might rest quite easy,
for. If Commodore Watson came, the au-
thorities would act strictly according to
the queens proclamation. copies Of which,
he said. had just been distributed to all
the chief officials of the garrison.
Spain for the last fortnight has been
making extensive preparations In the bay
OF Gibraltar. Twenty guns have just been
shipped to Ceuta and forty have been
mounted around the bay. There are Loco
men at Algeciras and LOCO engineers are
daily working AT the batteries and fortified
trenches Behind the cemetery Of Lima, a
mile north OF the British lines

tions are being made at Madrid. As re-
suit all the works there have been discon-
tipued.
