CERvERA REACHES SPAIN.
City of Rome Arrived mt santander
With Spanish Naval Prison-
ers Yesterday.

SANTANDER, SPAIN, Sept. 21-The An
Choir line steamer, City of Rome. chartered
by Admiral Cervera to transport to Spain
the Spanish sailors, captured at the battle
of Santiago, who were recently released by
the United States authorities. arrived here
to-day from Portsmouth, n. H., whence
she sailed on September II. Captain Eu-
late, the former commander of the Spanish
cruiser VIzcaya, and the other Spanish
naval officers, landed and were mistaken
for party of which Admiral Cervera was
a member. The latter, however, was still
on board the City of Rome, but a crowd
of people followed the officers and cheered
for Admiral Cervera.
Captain Eulate refused to make any
statement for publication. declaring he re-
served what he had to say for the court
martial.
Later Admiral Cervera came ashore and
dispatched telegram to the queen regent
after which he started on his way to the
capital.
veying General Toral arrived at the sta
tion at Bojar a crowd which had gathered
insisted that the general should show him.
self. Upon his doing so the gathering
loaded him with insults. General Toral,
who is III with fever, uttered a few excuses
AMI beat retreat In order to avoid being
struck. ?
Admiral Cervera. while at Santander. in
thanking the authorities for coming on
beard the steamer to receive him, dwelt
with bitterness upon the situation of the
marines. who, upon returning after do
ing their duty quietly, find such an unjust
atmosphere of public opinion.
There are 200 cases Of sickness among the
passengers on the City of Rome.

THE AMERICAN WIFE.
Comparisons Between Married Wom-
en- In America and in
England.
From the San Francisco Argcnaut.

From the San Francisco Argcnaut.
An Englishwoman has been drawing an
Interesting comparison between the life of
the married woman in America and in
England. She bases her statements on
residence of two or three years in South
ern town, but there is much in her article
that applies to the great mass of American
element Element in New New York, San Francisco. and
a few of the other large cities. mo man"
an inhabitant Of the town she visited Is
,it. quoted ass as saying. cares res TO- to play tennis
Irritation" No American man, she gen.
eralizes, cares for a woman's society un-
less he he is actually or potentially in love
ried man to pay attention to a girl, be-
cause this is a semi Irritation, with limits
clearly understood beforehand. A girl may
ride, drive or bicycle with man to an
unlimited extent; she may see him tete-a-
tete in her own house at any time; she
may write to him freely; she may, and
even expects to, receive from him flowers
and candy with a frequency appalling TO
a frugal English mind. And yet with all
this she neither marries him nor has any
intention of SO doing; indeed. unless poly
andry were permitted, she could not. But
once she Is married all this abruptly
ceases. For a man to indulge in any real
intimacy with a married woman, whether
it take the form of rides, correspondence
or even frequent o'clock teas at her own
home, is to expose himself and her to ill
natured gossip.
Married women are thus limited in their
social relations to intercourse with other
womSn, for, according to our critic. Ameri-
can women see far less of their husbands
than the average Englishwoman. Business
hours are longer, and on the remaining
hours the clubs are far more apt to en-
croach; mems dinners are more common;
and finally, in the summer almost every
couple is forcibly separated by the heat for
three or four months. Companionship in
outdoor amusements is rare. though latter
ly on the increase. Hitherto II has been
considered almost point of etiquette for
a woman when she marries TO retire from
the world of sport" and one hears won-
en- say with conscious virtue: II have
never danced (or ridden or played
tennis" as the case may be) since l mar
ried.' The consequence naturally Is that
even the mans hours of exercise are passed
away from his wife. and he is more likely
to spend his summer holiday fishing with
a male friend than rocking beside his wife
on hotel piazza.
