A GENEROUS OFFER.
Interest in the Sisters Hospital Take $
 Substantial Shape.

It is pleasing to note that a proper interest is being taken in the hospital of the Sisters Of Mercy, whose aban- donment has been threatened on ac- count of non-support. All the Sisters desired was the lifting of debt which hangs over that institution. Since the matter was taken up by The Republi- can a week ago several public spirited; gentlemen have come forward with pr5ffers Of assistance. The latest is conveyed in the following letter re- ceived at this office yesterday:

ANGLO-GERMAN COMBIN E
An Offensive and Defensive Alliance is
Said to Have Been Entered Into by En-
gland and Germany.

London, Sept. 3.-A report is current
here that treaty of alliance between
Great Britain and Germany, on the
lines of the speech of Mr.. Chamberlain,
the secretary of state for the colonies,
has been completed.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it has
received from a source in which it has
every confidence information that the
Anglo-German agreement was signed
this week by Mr.. Balfour and the Ger
man ambassador in behalf of the re-
spective powers. The Pail Mall Ga
zette says that while the agreement
is restricted it embraces an offensive
and defensive alliance in certain event
ualities and adds: This new and mo-
mentous departure in our foreign pol
icy comes as natural development OF
the European situation"

road led straight to the top of the
mountain for ten miles, and the in-
fantry company was soon far behind.
The carriages were drawn by native
ponies and went up the mountains on
gallop, except when the reckless
drivers pulled up to breathe the ami
mails. 1t was right into the heart OF
the enemy's country. The road rises
to an altitude of 5000 feet and runs
right into San Juan. 1t is a marvellous
piece of engineering. At times it is
hewn out of solid rock hanging over
sheer cliffs 1000 feet deep. The seem
cry of the Alps, although bolder of
course, IS not more beautiful. Every
thing is covered with luxurious trop-
ical verdure, even the rocks. Brilliant
Towering plants and trees splash the
green with vivid color. Once at the
top the finished military road endsd,
and then we started on to Adjuntas
ten miles off.
The drivers drove like Jehus. The
vehicles had no brakes, and the little
ponies on the descent were on the dead
run to keep away from the wheels,

inch from precipice on but two
wheels and now swinging into the side
of the eff, the occupants holding on
for dear life, the vehicles went at
terrific pace as the drivers whipped
their mad beasts. One false step,
tumble, would have sent us whirling off
into space. No other drivers could
have accomplished this feat. Cne more
descent and we went tearing into the
town. On through the town we drove
at gallop, women and children who
lined the streets bombarding us with
bouquets of roses, fuchsias and wild
flowers, while the men, who formed
the background, cheered and cried:
"Down with Spain"
This quaint little town in the noun
tains has picturesque square where
the people may gather to cheer and
welcome. They had some American
flags, which were waved everywhere.
The alcalde welcomed Gen. Stone for
maIly and the latter made the assem-
bled populace a speech from the ver>
anda of the town hall. In their en-
thusiasm the people could not wait for
the translation. At every sentence
they cheered. Then they cheered the
translation. 1t was dark when the for
malities were over, and every citizen
constituted himself reception com
mittee, besieging the members of our
party with invitations to dinner.

Washable wall Paper.

The sanitary wall papers now come
in most effective and useful shades so
that they may be used in the living
rooms a well as in the bedrooms. For
awhile their choice of design and col
oring was so limited that their use was
pondingly restricted. 1t is prob
ably only a question of time when all
wall papers will BE sanitary and cap
able of being, as are now few, washed
off in good earnest. A novelty seen at
one of the exclusive shops was paper
offered in soft, dull shades that was a
perfect representation of denim. This
popular and dull background for both
floors and walls is highly artistic and
effective, and COW that the denim pa
per has come, we may look for the
early popularity.

was received Friday. While the storm
was nothing like that of five years
ago, the loss is heavy. The beaches
north of Tybee are lined with wrecks
of small craft and at BlufftOn and
other small settlements nearly all the
houses were unroofed and many were
destroyed.

The loss to the rice crop on the Sa-
vannah river alone is estimated at
100000 to $25O,OOO. Three-fourths of
the crop has been destroyed. The loss
to planters between Savannah and Au-
gusta will run into the hundreds of
thousands.
A heavy flood is reported in the up
per Savannah river and messengers
were sent out from here last night to
warn planters of its approach. The
cotton crop in the counties adjoining
Savannah is practically ruined.
The entire territory which the storm
ravaged, although limited to a radius
of 80 miles, is damaged beyond esti-
mate. The loss of life, so far as
known, has been small. but it is ex-
pected that the reports of the next
few days will show many fatalities.
For 80 miles west of Savannah the
country is practically under water.
The railroads are unable to form any
estimate of the damage or to repair
the tracks until the water falls. In
stead of falling, however, the water
mulgee and Altamaha rivers and their
tributaries are oycrflOwed and the
water is flooding the country.

CHEERED BY NATIVES
Warm Welcome to Americans on

ns Greeting to Gen. Roy stone
Every Puerto Rican
Liberal Host.

The Puerto Rican natives, espe cially
the poorer classes, have given us the
most enthusiastic welcome, reports
correspondent of the Associated Press.
They had dreamed for years of the
time when the hand of the oppcessors
would be removed from their throats;
and now it has come. With the exc -p-
tion of a few of the rich they seem to
care little about the independence of
the island. The old revolutionists, am
bilious for political power, inquire
anNiously if we will retain possession
of the island, and shout enthusia stical-
~. But a great many care little for
dependence, apparently sure in the
conviction that we came to drive out
the Spaniards. The writer accom-
panied a accommodating expedition un-
der Gen. Roy Stone into the noun
tains north of Ponce. 1t was remark
able in more ways than one. Gen.
Miles had found that the enemy's posi-
tion at Aibonito was almost impreg
nable; and he had decided to turn the
left flank of the Spanish position, land
ing Gen. Brooke at Arroyo and moving
his column TO Cayey in the rear of the
Spanish position at Aibonito. The ad-
visibility of movement by our left
flank was also discussed. This could be
done if the road across the mountains
to Aecibo on the north coast were pass
able.
The reports were that there was a
fine carriage road from Utuabo to
Aibonito. The only question was as to
the character of the road as far as the
former point. Gen. Stone volunteered
to make the reconnaissance. He took
with him several men of the signal
corps, four newspaper correspondents
in carriages, armed with Remingt ons,
and company C, of the Second Wiscon-
sin. The start was made at noon. The

Another freak is in the shape of a
rush bush owned by Policeman Charles
Avery. The bush is now bearing the
second crop of roses this season. But
this is not the most peculiar thing
about it. The policeman found on It
one morning a large blossom appar-
emily perfect in every respect except
that from the center of the flower had
grown another full-sized rosebud
which was about to open and produce
another flower inside the one already
open. The Kalamazoo News vouches

Origin of Menu Cards.

1t is not generally known that the
originator of the "bill of fare" was
Duke Henry of Brunswick. who was
first observed in the intervals of ban
quet to scan carefully a long strip of
paper by the side of his plate. When
the curious guests ventured to inquire
into the nature of his studies he ex-
planned that it was sort of pro-
gramlne of the dishes he had COM
manded from the cook, to the intent
that if some delicacy which especially
appealed to him were marked for a
la.e stage in the repast, he might care
fully reserve his appetite for it. The
simplicity and beauty of the idea ap-
pealed instantly to the good dukes
conviyes and the menu card from that
moment became an institution.
