Dispatch to THE Sun.
AsHlNGToS, May 1o.-There was an
fe absence of news today regarding
position of the Spanish fleet in the
kers of the Caribbean Sea, and the
Ify Department gave out no inforlna-
BH as to the whereabouts of the Ameri-
III vessels.
|Ehe most probable theory OF naval
Gers is that the feet of Admiral
Fvera has come up from the Nenezu-
In coast and now is at, or i'll the
Unity of Porto Rico, where they can
b supplies of coal and provisions, and
the same time be in touch by cable
th the Madrid authorities.
There is no doubt that the fleet under
'mpson has been divided and the last
sels have been sent to run down the
Five Spaniards.
10 fears are entertained that the Dons
ltlake descent on the American
st, for they would use up so much
bl in steaming such a distance that
ky would be almost at the mercy Of
y American fleet in being unable to
Nam back for lack of fuel.
|By tomorrow or the next day, two
Hploads of troops and supplies will be
|S1v to leave San Francisco for the
Elppincs.
These two vessels are two OF the larg-
and fastest on the Pacific. They
BuId be able to overtake the Cruiser
hrcston within a few days, and she
then act as convoy, although, so far
Known, no Spanish vessels OF any
"a are in the Pacific. The voyage will
- almost three weeks, and a stop
|Ast be made at the Hawaiian Islands
&coal.
|Np to noon today $500 volunteer
bps had been mustered into service.
arrangements are going forward for
= enlistment of the regiments of i'm
ines, which may be composed partly
colured troops, as 1t has been found
experience in epidemics that they
less liable to yellow fever than
|ites.

THOSE MATINEE GIRLS.
The Boston Type-How She Differs From
Those of Other Cities.


The Boston matinee girl is quite unlike
the same dear creature anywhere else, re-
marks Boston Herald writer. The cul-
ture, the thirst for knowledge, the indul-
gence in 'fads." the prevalence of reading
clubs, have all had their effect on her. In
other cities she may be a silly creature,
about whom foolish but laughable dia-
logues are written. In Boston she is quite
different. She may be excitable, emo
tional, amusing-indeed, she is-but it is
all la Boston, and the humorist looking
for subject would only lind it at Bos-
ton matinee by waiting and watching-or
having great luck.
In New York if you watch a matinee
audience entering Days, the Lycoum or
the Empire you will note that every other
woman kisses some ono in the lobby, and
that the rest seem to kiss every one they
meet.
That doesn't happen in Boston. Prob
ably knowledge and the microbe theory
prevent Anyway you will note that
Boston women as they enter the theater
or loiter in the parlor are content to make
a great hustle of shaking hands Then
such a jostling as there is in the effort to
sec every one, such a standing up in the
seats to find out who's there and who's
with them, and such hum of voices that
the orchestra plays in dumb show Yet,
with all this, candor must confess that the
matinee girl is prettier than she is silly.

There were 40 persons in the party OF
the Northwestern electrical association
that arrived at Hancock on Monday
morning on board the steamer North
west. Hancock did not see much OF the
distinguished visitors, as they we're taken
at once to Dollar Bay, Lake Linden and
Calumet, where they were shown about
the points OF interest by Mr., James r.
Dee. The party did not arrive at Han
cock again until shortly before 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon when the boat was
boarded and the party proceeded to Du-
luth. The great Thomas Edison was not
a member OF the party, as he was I'M
avoidably detained, which was great
disappointment to the many persons who
turned out to catch glimpse OF the
wizard. The party was very enthusiast
tic and surprised at what they saw OF
the copper country.

What People Write For.

Mr.. Froude, in one of our earliest talks,
said:
"And why do you want to meddle with
biography Why can't you be content to
write three volume novelist"
II have no invention" said /.
"Then l suppose you can't write that
sort of rot out of which Rider Haggard
and such men make their thousands"
II am not clever enough for that, " re-
piled.
"That answer is disingenuous he said.
"Well," said l. II don't want to write
those books"
THAT'S better" said Froude and turn
ed away. But afterward he renewed the
subject and said: Il am glad you don't
come to me saying that you think you
have mission of any kind, or want to re-
move veil from the eyes Of mistaken hui
manity on any subject, or to do anything
grand or philanthropical, or that sort OF
idiocy. have heard so much of that kind
Of thing"
ooh, dear, nol'' said. Il want to put
a little money in my pocket. l have no
other motive, and as publisher asked for
the book took the necessary steps. Moth
ing more"
That's well, said Froude.-Mrs. Ire

In the surrounding country reside many
colored people, who are said to be of danger

and Richards mad charge of them. He resid-
ed alone in cabin near the railroad.
few days ago the pay car Of the company
ran to the camp, and what money remained
after payment was sent to the nearest bank
until the following day. The colored men,
supposinS that richards was in charge of the
money, planned to get it.
About midnight Richards was awakened
by noise made by persons breaking into his
cabin. He saw three colored men open the
door, and he began firing. One fell dead,
another was wounded but escaped with the
third man. The negro killed was a desperate
character. Richards was exonerated by a
coroner's jury. Other colored men about the
camp say they will have revenge.
