The boys OF the Fifteenth had as good
a living as any. We may be used to
physical labor, but we are also used
to 4 good bed to sleep in at night; al
so SO per cent of the Fifteenth did
leave good positions to come to do.
their duty, and it is an error on some
ones part to say the boys wish to stay
the remainder of two years, for the
temperament of the entire regiment is
above fever heat. Let some citizen
canvass the regiment lean safely
say he will soon learn the true feelings
and the anxiety of the boys to return
to their homes and assume their former
positions, even if they were positions
of low salaries.
We have canvassed nearly the entire
regiment and find scarcely one out of
any company who wants to stay the
two years to do police or garrison
duty. Give us an equal chance with
the Twelfth and Fourteenth regiments.
Perhaps we did not leave a wife and
six children behind, but most of us left
good mother and sisters, who are
longing for us to come home. The Fiji
teenth volunteers have done their duty.
Now let the governor do his. We re-
sponded to his call, and hope he will
do his utmost to have the wishes of
the boys of the Fifteenth complied
with. Governor, if you want to get the
true sentiments of the regiment con-
verse with the low salaried men little
more, and less with the high salaried.
If there is real necessity for the Fiji
teenth to go, there will be no kick CON-
ing from them, but if the regiment is
not necessity they should be allowed
an equal chance with the Twelfth and
Fourteenth.

though the officials will not state how

Cervera's fleet
The st. Paul had been lying off Sam

last Wednesday morning the big collier
was sighted, making at full speed for
Santiago hhrhor. The ST. Paul fired Il
blank shot. and the Restormel hove to.
four miles from the Santiago forts. The
forts did not fire on the cruiser. A prize
crew, under command Of j. PatisoH. aess

Key West, Fla, May 30-5:50 p. M
Everybody knows now that Spain's fly

two torpedo boat destroyers, is imprison-

This fact has been known here for
forty-eight hours, and the speculation
now is over the probable disposition of

be reinforced by other powerful war

part of Ceyera to offer battle.
An interesting story remains to be told
OF the reasons which led Ceryera to
Santiago and of the way in which he
was hemmed in. 1t is known that when
the Spanish admiral sailed for the
West Indies, he expected to enter San
Juan de Porto Rico for coal and sup

American commanders were inclined to

Hong Kong, May 30-The British sec

The Spanish garrison Mt lloilo number

Rear Admiral Dewey has informed the
authorities at Manila that he will hold
them responsible for the life of the cap
tain of the Spanish gunboat Callao, cap
tured by the United States fleet. The
Spaniards have been threatening to shoot
him for surrendering, although confront
ed by the whole American fleet.
All the American ships are ut Cavite

tifu, but fresh provisions are not oh
tainable. There is no sickness in the
American fleet.
In reply to the Spanish attempt to win
over AguinaldO's men, the insurgents
are said to have informed the Spaniards
that they are neutral, and will await

The Spanish gunboat El Cano, which
captured the American bark Saranac
loaded with coal and owned by VIM
Simpson, Jr., of New York has left Iloilo
and gone to the Samoangan river.
1t is said the Spaniards released the

Misses sweaters are fastened on
the shoulder.
Moreen petticoats of light weight
are suitable for girls.
Barre or bayadere novelties in wool

material being used in bows on the

Quite new fancy is to have fur

very important item, too, and will be
worn without reference to other ar
ticles of dress. The newer ones are
quite large, and l noticed the preva-
lance of gray.
Coats single or double breasted are
equally la mode, and many of them
are decidedly longer than they have
been, but with one and all outdoor
garments the very high collar is in
dispensable. Indeed, in dress as well as
mantles there is decided favoring of
Medici styles.
The smooth finished cloths in black
and also in all the new fashionable
colorings are pre-eminently handsome,
both in texture and weave, and the
choice as to color is almost unlimited.
Many of the expensive patterns are
deeper in tone than they have been for
several seasons past.
Black materials will be greatly ia
vored during the winter season, and
special and very elaborate display of
elegant black fabrics is made at the
various importing houses. Many fancy
weaves are shown, but the standard
black textures brought to such ex-
quisite perfection have their own de.
cided attractions.
Heliotrope combined with red is
among fashionable color mixtures.
Green, hyacinth blue and yellow is an
other French melange. Mentally con-
sidered, these combinations suggest
anything but harmony, but the best
shops and importing houses show
these and endless other seemingly
crude ami very inaltistic groupings Of
color.
