NO CABLE FROM
GENERAL MILES

Washington, July 29.-The change OF
base Of operations for the Porto Rican
expedition has resulted in complete
re-arrangement of plans of the signal
corps for that campaign. There VIII
be no cable connections made with our
army at Guanica, as would have been
the case had the original landing place
been taken and the war balloons, in
stead OF being expedited ahead, VIII be
held at Tampa pending further devel-
opments. The original plan as de-
cided on by the war authorities was for
a landing of the expeditionary forces
at Fajardo, on the northeast corner OF
the island. All arrangements were
made by the war department on the ba-
sis of making Fajardo the debarkation
point and numerous important details
attended to which cannot be disclosed.
All these have to be abandoned I'm view
of the landing effected at Guanica, a
point diagonally across the island and
far away from any possible cable COM
munication. All efforts to establish
cable service have been abandoned as
the nearest connecting point of an ex-
listing cable is said to be San Domingo
one hundred miles or more away.
Meantime. the army, now somewhere
between Yauco and Ponce. lacks the
advantages had at Santiago of direct
and immediate communication with
Washington and save by the belated
dispatches which must be sent back to
the nearest cable point will be without
~ hla facilities

ALLOTMENT OF BONDS.

Washington, July 29.-In order to save
vexatious embarrassment to larger sub
scribers to the war loan bonds meaning
by this subscribers for more than $780,
the department has arranged to recog-
nze transfers OF notices of allotments
so that persons receiving notice OF the
amount allotted to them viii be in rosi-
ton to realize on them in case of neces-
sity substantially as readily as IL they
were in possession of the bonds allotted
to them. This has seemed to be the duty
of the treasury department in view O.
the unavoidable delay In placing the
actual bonds In the hands Of the larger
subscribers.
The energies of the department are
now directed to shipping bonds to small
subscribers under the general theory of
the law that the small subscribers should
receive the first consideration. While
making the allotment notice assignable
as provided will not be as convenient to
the larger subscribers as would a more
prompt delivery Of the bonds. 1t Is be-
lieved the arrangement will fairly meet
the needs Of those who for various reas-
ons cannot await the actual delivery Of
tho honda ,.f ..

LIDDEL APPEALED.
Was Pound Guilty Of Assaultine
Jacob Cohen.
wyman Waived Examination = Other
District Court Cases.

The trial Of Hugo Iiddel for an as
sauIt on Jacob cohens came up in the
District Court today, and the prosecu-
tion presented large array OF wit
nesses. which resulted in gaining for
them a victory. the defendant being
fined $40 and costs, from which he ap-
pealed. He was held for the Common
Pleas Division of the Supreme Court in
5000 bonds.
Attorney Gardiner appeared for the
defendant, and In submitting the case
he was led 10 cast reflections upon the
methods pursued by the officers or the
Second police station and also upon Mr..
Goldsmith, a Hebrew interpreter, who
was a witness for the prosecution. To
this the court took exception. and said
that the remarks were altogether un-
warranted.
Frank l.. Wyman, who was charged
with having stolen watch valued at
S2b. waived examination, and was held
in 5000 bonds for the action OF the grand
jury.
Mary Moran waived examination on
a charge of maintaining a liquor nuis-
ance on Eddy street, and being ad-
judged probably guilty, was held In
$1,000 bonds for the grand jury. 10 TWO
charges of keeping for sale and selling
liquors illegally she pleaded guilty. and
was fined $50 and costs and sentenced to
serve 10 days in the county jail In each
case.
John Lynch waived examination on
the charge OF maintaining liquor
nuisance. and was held for the grand
jury in $1,000 bonds.
John Clark was held for the grand
jury In the sum of $500 upon waiving
examination on the charge of stealing
copper cylinder valued at $40 from the
Granger Foundry and Machine Cori-
pany.
Arthur Morrill, and Malvina Morrill,,
man and wife, occupied the courts at
tention next. The woman claimed that
the man had assaulted her, and her
face certainly bore evidence OF the fact.
II was a bruised, blackened and cut
face, and caused much sympathy for
the woman and condemnation for the
man. Only a few witnesses were called,
but these were sufficient to cause the
court to adjudge the defendant prob
ably guilty and to bind him over to the
grand jury in $700 bonds.
Joseph Brennan, a common drunkard,
was given nine months at the state
workhouse.

SPAIN WANTS
NO CONFERENCE

Madrid. July 29--9 a. m. Referring
to the prospects OF peace, the Corre-
spondencia. an Independent semi-ofi-
cial newspaper says today: While the
government has asked for peace with
out stipulating preliminary suspen-
sion OF hostilities, II is supposed that
an armistice will be declared as soon
as the basis Is agreed upon and pend
ing a definite settlement.
No basis has yet been submitted. but
among the conditions mentioned Is one
relative to an international conference
in London to arrange the future OF the
Philippine islands. We do not believe
the Americans will propose such a con-
ference because they have no interest
in doing so and could not derive any
benefit therefrom.
Neither Is the Spanish government
favorable TO such conference, consid-
ering that the negotiations which IL has
opened directly with the United States
are better calculated to secure a good
understanding between the two coun-
tries"
1t is understood that the Spanish
transports Isla de Panaya and Island
de Luzon will sail from Cadiz today for
Santiago de Cuba in order TO embark
the Spanish prisoners of war.

THE GIRL AND HER COLLEGE.
The Training Received is Undoubtedly
of Inestimable Benefit to Her.

''It is sometimes argued that the col
lege units a woman for domestic life,"
writes Edward Box in the August La
dies Home Journal. THAT is true.
think, only so far as a girl can or cam
not adapt herself from one condition to
another. The difference between the
college and the home is simply the diff
ference between all training and real
work in the world. If college course
is rightly understood and taken advan-
tage of, 1t will prepare rather than un-
fit a girl for the wisest government of
a house. III she has used her time and
opportunities at college well. her train
ing system and discipline will prove of
the first Importance to her In conduct
ing the domestic machinery. Aside
from the direct application of her train
ing to her work, she has the great adj
vantage of resources of mental refresh
ment when moments of leisure come to
her. The domestic courses, now being
so generally introduced into the cur
riculum of our girls colleges. also give
a practical value to college educa-
ton for a girl which II did not possess
n few years ago. The value of these
courses lies in the foundation which
they give a girl to build upon.
IAN things being equal, a college
training is unquestionably source OF
inestimable value to a girl as Ii is to q
man. and she is the better equipped for
her duties of wife and mother because
of 1t. Knowledge is always valuable
Yet il does not, by any means, follow
that a girl. unable to go through COL
lege, is at disadvantage with her girl
friend who did. Where IL is feasible
and possible II is an excellent part OF n
girls equipment, and its advantages
will come back to her a thousandfold in
her future years. Bur in the majority
of cases a college training is not FEAST
BILE nor possible. IL going To college
simply means to a girls mind the fun
TO be had II is infinitely better that she
should remain at home. III a girl is in
clined TO be selfish, and hungers simply
for a brilliant career, IL is visest that
the softening influences of a home re-
main her portion. III she Is physically
not strong the homo care is thousand
times better for her than the best care
she can procure at any school or col
lege."
