The empress dowager of China is
64 years of age. Her title runs as fol-
lows: Observation-Disclosures

The royal crown of Persia, which
dates back to remote ages, is in the
form of pot of flowers, surmounted
by an uncut ruby the size of q hens

Emperor William, always eager to
lead the way, likes a good piece of
horsefesh. His horses are usually of
English breed, although On rare occa-
sions he buys them in Germany.
The queen of Hollands chief hobby
is amateur acting. She takes the live

never fails to attend the first nights at
the theaters. A few years ago she had
a theater built for her use at the Loo,
where plays are performed under her
direction.
The late Empress Elizabeth left a
vast fortune. She had a much larger
civil list than she ever spent, and her
surplus income was judiciorsly laid
out in purchasing property around
Vienna, which was bought very cheap,
but is now covered with buildings, and

BEFORE THE CAMERA,

No photographer can keep Della
Fox's eyes on the ground. She always
gazes upward when her picture is be-
ing taken.
Edna Wallace Hopper when she is
photographed will take a smile, thank
you. She insists also upon a dash of
mischief in her eyes.
Annie Russell has not line of vanity
in her makeup. Miss Russell is blessed
with strong, expressive face and Miss
Russell is sensible and pleasant, the
photo men say.
Lillian Russell is one Of the best sub
jects the photographer ever had. She
does not think she knows more about
the camera than the artist at the ma
chine and allows him to pose her.
Maude Adams is natural. She has
nothing to conceal, nothing to affect.
Her pictures are Maude Adams, and
anyone who saw her would remember
her without the usual necessity of .
key in the shape of name.
Olive Redpath. of ''The French Maid"
company, always makes her appear
ance, it will be noticed, with the same
old smile. The reason is that Miss Red
path has pretty, pretty dimple in her
cheek. You can never see it unless Miss
Redpath shows her teeth.

THE CUBAN ASSEMBLY.
The Meeting Fixed for the Twentieth
Likely to be Postponed for Want
of Transportation.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. IL The
meeting of the Cuban assembly at San
ia Cruz is fixed for October 20, but ow-
ing to lack of transportation facilities,
the members of the assembly will be
unable to arrive at Santa Cruz on time,
and the end of the month probably
will have come before the election of
q president and cabinet take place.
FL Cubano, a daily paper of Santi'
ago, predicts the election of the fol.
lowing ticket:
President-Gen. Maximo Gomez.
Vice President - Senior Bartolome
Maso.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs-Dr
Domingo Mendez Capote.
Home Secretary-Senor Benjamin
Guerra.
Secretary of Justice-Senor Jose A
LanuZa.

up over propositions denying the right
of the Americans to grant concessions
which Cuba libre would repudiate.

fully considered by the Ottoman gov
ernment.

LATE NEWS FROM CUBA.
To Erect an American Fever Hospital
Plans of Forts Received-Dirty H@~
vana-Not SO Black as Painted.

Havana, via Key West, Oct. 17.-Doc-
tors Lane and O'Rilly have made a re-
port to the surgeon-general insisting
upon the immediate establishment of
an American fever hospital here. The
| existing hospitals do not isolate yell
low fever patients, and the result is
that if a person suffering from any
other complaint is removed to the hos
pital he runs the risk of contracting
the fever. This was the case with
Stenographer Dalbey, of the American
evacuation commission, who is suf-
fering from malarial fever. His next
door neighbor is ill with fever of
different character.
Received Plans of Cuban Forts.
Col. Clous has received plan of
every fortification on the island, each
one signed personally by Gen. Blanco.
These plans had been requested by our
commissioners ever since their arrival,
but were not delivered until Saturday.
To Extend the Railroad to Guanabacoa.
The transportation commission has
begun work upon the plans for the
extension of the railroad to the CAMP
at Guanabacoa, which will be the first
to be got ready. They have asked fol
bids, and laborers are being employed
to push the work actively.
Found Havana Dirtier Than He Anti
cIpated.
Col. Waring has found Havana dir
tier than he anticipated. He says it
will be necessary to tear open the
streets and lay drainage pipes and
sewers. He sees no reason to fear an
epidemic, as there was no spread of
disease when the streets were opened
recently to lay water pipes. He is
greatly satisfied with the excellence OF
Havana's water supply.
Business at q Standstiu
Industry and commerce continue at
a standstill.
Many planters and merchants who
recently returned here anticipating an
early resumption of business are go
ing abroad again to wait until affairs
are settled in Cuba, as they do not
dare embark in business ventures or
risk cent in the present unsatisfac-
tory and indefinite condition of polit-
ical affairs on the island. The sugar
and tobacco crops are unsown.
Not So Desperate Painted.
That the condition of the Cubans is
not SO desperate or black as is paint
ed, outside the fact that they are
short of rations, is confirmed by Col.
Rowan and Lieut.. Parker, who, after
crossing the island five times, cover
ing 100 miles, and visiting every in
surgent camp in the island, report
that the men in the camps. are eff
cient, well-disciplined and officered by
men of high order of intelligence
and education. From these men, who
have struggled and suffered for three
long years for their ideas of freedom,
resistance is to be feared to any solu-
ton of the problem not having for its
basis independence.

The French Military Determined to Over

London, Oct. 15.-A Paris dispatch
says that letters and documents writ
ten by general holding a high posi-
ton have been intercepted, which are
said to leave no doubt of the intention
of that officer to bring about the over
throw of the ministry. 4 pronuncia-
mentO, it seems, was to be issued on
October IS, which would have the eff
feet of a seizure of the civil govern
ment by military authority. When
NJ. Brisson was warned last night OF
the existence of the conspiracy he said
the news coincided with prior informa-
ton from private sources. It is an
nounced that in consequence of these
revelations Gen. Chanoine will not
leave Paris, as he had intended to do.

itary governor of Paris, who was for
Il short time minister of war, but it
appears the present minister of war,
Gen. Chanoine, refused to countenance
it. According to the Jour, the ru-
NOR of the plot arose from a forged

tanning the words: "Let us lie ready
