THE SPANIARDS RECALLED.
Impossible to Reach Santiago in Time
for It's Relief.

for It's Relief.
copyrighted 1898 by Associated Press
Montego Bay. Island of Jamaica. Fri
day, July /, 1870 p. m.-Delayed III
transmssion.)-A Cuban messenger from
the isurgents near ManzanillO province
of Santiago de Cuba, who landed near
here to-day from n sail boat, brought
the intelligence that the Spanish troops,
numbering about 5000 men, which left
Manzanllo on June %. to march to San
tiago, were called back by Gen. Pando.
Ii appears that when the army had
reached the vicinity of Bayamo, General
Pando was not with the troops, as had
been reported. He was and is in Ha-
vana. The relieving army, the Cuban
says, was supplied with food and
the roads were almost impossible and the
artillery could not be dragged along
them. Thus getting to Santiago i'll
time to succor the garrison there APP
peared to be impossible, hence the recall
of the troops.

In G. w + Russa.la Collections
and Recollections are these anecdotes
of Disraeli:
The atmosphere Of court naturally
suited Lord Beaconsfield. and he had
quaint trick Of transferring the grandi-
ose nomenclature of palaces to his own
very modest domain Of Hughenden. He
called his simple drawing room the
salon he styled his pond the lake; he
expatiated on the beauties of the terrace
walks, the "Golden Gate" and the
German forest. -
His style of entertaining was more
snowy than comfortable. Nothing could
excel the grandeur of his state coach
and powdered footman, but when the
dessert came up melting one of his
friends exclaimed:
"At last, my dear Dizzy, we have
got something hot. "
And in the days when no was chan
cellor of the eXchequer some critical
guest remarked of the soup that it was
apparently made with deferred stock.
When Lady Beaconsfield died, he
sent for his agent and said 81 desire
that her ladyship's remains be borne to
the grave by the tenants of the estate. I"
Presently the agent came back, with a
troubled countenance, and said, II re-
greet to say there are not enough tenants
to carry coffin.

A Stiney Princess.

A much talked of princess of Europe
is Mathilde, nice of King Albert of Sax
ony. In addition to being lacking in
personal charms she is said to be ex-
ceedingly stingy, wearing the common.
est apparel in order to save few cents.
All seasons find her clothed in the
cheapest and ugliest Of garments, and it
is asserted that she has but one costume
in which she is fit to be seen at court.
Notwithstanding her large income, she
breads to part with any portion of it
for any purpose whatever, and haggles
over every purchase she makes Years
ago she was to have been married to
Rudolph of Austria, and the engage
ment was announced, but when he saw
her he fed to Vienna, and poor Ma
thilde dropped into the ranks of Eu-
ropes interchangeable princesses, be-
coming stingier than ever

Comedy on the s,,s..

1t was only byplay at the theater
the other evening, but IL was entertain-
ing to a limited portion Of theaudience.
Behind the little lady with diminu-
tive hat that had its chief beauty in its
daintiness sat "a member Of the sex with
amazonian proportions and voluble
tongue. In brief intermission of chat
tering to those about her she happened
to look down and espy the pretty head
gear which was clear foot below her
range of vision with the stage. But Ii
was a tempting opportunity.
"Will you kindly remove your hat?"
asked the one In the rear as she leaned
forward and spoke in a noisy whisper.
Certainly" answered the one in
front as she made rather a vicious
plunge for the anchoring pin. 81 will
kindly take off my hat. Will you
kindly stop your talking and permit us
to hear this play?"
For full five minutes there was I'M
broken silence, but it was a greater self
restraint than the large woman could
endure and her annoying whisperings
again began. Suddenly the one in front
stuck the little hat upon the very sum
NIT of her head and pinned it there. 1t
seemed to have grown taller and of
greater circumference and looked just
like defiant challenge worked into ar
tistic millinery
The large woman was too mad to
talk, and there was suppressed litter
ing while those around beamed on the
little woman and were sore tempted to
give her hand by way of applause. -

Spanish Laziness.

Labor, to Spanish pride, was the
badge of inferiority, to be escaped in
every possible way, says Henry @. Lea
in The Atlantic This national aversion
to labor manifested itself in an indo-
lence which rendered the pretense Of
working almost illusory Dormer tells
us of his compatriots that they did not
work as in other lands. A few hours q
day, and this internationally, were OK
pected 60 provide for them as much as
the incessant activity of the foreigner.
To these drawbacks on productive in
dustry is to be added the multitude of
feast days, which Navarrete estimates
at about one third of the working days,
rising to one half at the critical season
of the harvests-feast days which, ac-
cording TO Archbishop Carranza, were
spent in n debauchery rendering them
especially welcome to the devil. Under
such conditions it was impossible for
Spain to Withstand the competition of
the foreigner.

Firecraclsers In China.

In China frccrackers can be purchas-
ed at cost Of 90 cents for 10, 000, al
though the best quality commands twice
this price. This is but little more than
the actual cost Of Manufacture The
straw paper used is of the cheapest
grade. The powder is also of cheap and
inferior quality, which probably ac-
counts for SO many "sizzers" in every
pack.
Most Of the firecraclers are made by
women and children at their homes, and
rapid workers are able to earn from .
TO z cents per day. An expert can earn
10 cents, while novice receives only
his board for the first four years. The
wages paid in this trade are about the
same as those paid the common laborer.
Besides being unhealthy, the work of
making firecraCkers is more or less dan
gerous, yet the hours of labor are from
6 a. M. to IL p. IN. seven days in the
week
