Madrid, March s.--A semi-offcial note, just
issued, declares that the Spanish government
has not received any complaint regarding the
attitude of General Fitghugh Lee, the United
States consul general at Havana, adding
ION the contrary, Captain General Blanco af-
firms that General Lees behavior has always
been correct Nevertheless. the incident
serves to explain the origin Of the tilt be-

the statements attributed to Secretary Sher-

belief in the United States thai Spain Is try
ing to provoke war while at the same time
cngcnGering the feeling in Spain that it Is the
United States that demaiNs the opening OF
hostilities. II Is essential that this double
game should be ended in order to prevent tho
two countries going TO war without motives
and without either of them desiring II.

change The government took steps al once
to contradict officially tbs reports that Spain
had asfed for the recall of Consul General
Leo from Havana and tho report that Pope

latter iumor is positively deriod by the papal

complished without the slightest hos
tile demonstration on the part of the
Spaniards. Some of the men passive
ly object to being clean, but they can
put up with cleanliness if only they
get plenty of tobacco.
Colonel Forney has IN .he. barracks
at the Navy Yard and on duty at the
stockade about two hundred men, but
Surgeon Parsons says that if the
Spaniards only understood that they
were to have their three square meals
day a marine guard would be re-
quired, not to keep them on the island
but to drive them away from it.
Two Spanish chaplains, two sur
geons, an apothecary's steward and
five junior lieutenants have had a
building built for their special accom-
mediation, and have been fitted out
with sailors clothes from the navy
yard storehouses. Their wardroom is
fitted out with hunks and abundant
furniture.
The civilizing influence of q short
piece Of rope is still to be seen IN
Camp Long. In the olden times the
rope was used to COW starved and ill
treated prisoners. To-day it serves a
different purpose. The members of
the officers mess hardly got new
clothes before they began devising
amusements, and jumping rope has
become very popular. Two Of the
more sedate officers swing the rope
while the others take turns jumping.
The horrors Of war already seem
Ear away, and the mostimportant things
in the world seem to be the delights of
good living. Admiral Carpenter, who
is in temporary command OF tho Navy
Yard, has closed the island to curious
visitors, who are not annoying when
they get long range views from the
New Castle and Kittery shores.
The scene on shore of the prison
front on Seavey's Island on q recent
afternoon between five and six O'Clock
presented a,most novel and interest
ing picture. The prisoners had just
finished their afternoon meal and had
swarmed to the waters edge to wash
their bowls, plates and spoons. The
clatter of the dishes and the laughter
and animated conversation Of the pris-
oners made such babel of noises that
they could plainly be heard on the
Newcastle shore on the other side of
the Piscataqua River
Hundreds Of boats gathered in front
of the Spaniards on the beach and
watched them at their work and en-
ioyed the animated scene. for the
"Dons" seemed happy as larks and
evidently greatly pleased at the atten-
ton shown them. Many ladies in the

The busy little hustle is at it again,
painstakingly trying to creep into
favor and always finding certain CO.
terie of women willing to put it on
probation and their backs. Up to
the present date it is no larger than
ones two fists and is worn as an odd
little lump of wire and mohair, close
up to the waist line. Women who
have not yet bent before the hustle
fetish wear strange boned petticoats.
The bones run in castings from the
waistline to the hem, following bias
inclination, and while holding out the
over dress most staunchly, they do
not fail to add tremendous weight
about the hips. To avoid wearing
these boned under draperies num-
ber of the thoughtful and inventive
have run hoops of thinnest steel, no
wider nor thicker than baby ribbon,
through the rear widths of their skirts.
This is rather more hygienic solution
of the hustle problem than any plan
yet attempted, but dressmakers who
know thing or two insist that with the
coming in Of princess fashions bustles
must and will assume an important
place in every wardrobe.
