AMERICANS SAFE IN HAVANA. :

Washington, April 13.-The Spanish
legation has received information from
Cuba that ''No trouble has been or is
to be apprehended, and that the Amer
cans are not in the slightest danger there,
the alarm caused by Gen. Lee having no
foundation whatever.
sin Porto Rico order prevails, and the
reports sent Of trouble are false. The
elections took place TRANQUILITY although
certain opposition people tried to make
capital of an unimportant street riot"
There is still no word from Cuba as
to what the insurgents in the field will
do toward the armistice. With today ~
hours have passed with the Spanish sold
iers resting their arms. In this time no
word has come of an aggressive move
ment by the insurgents.

THREATENED By ANARCHY
Riots at Madrid and Revolution at
Porto Rico.

. London, April 14.--The Madrid cor,
respondent of the Times telegraphing
Monday, says:
ut is not too much to say that ever
since the armistiee was made pubic
Saturday afternoon, this city has been
under martial law. A few ministerialists
were said to be projecting meeting In
favor of peace, but the sinister indica-
tions of the press as to the probable fate
of such an assembly caused it to be
quashed as soon as spoken of. This,
however, has not prevented the celebra'
Jion of a series of meetings of a wildly
different and infinitely more spontane-
Gus character, and the events of last
night are likely to agitate the authorities

were "fully 5000 people shouting for war
and denouncing the government as trait

the American legation and the govern
msnt offices by strong oordons OF police. "
He continues: "Ihese events occurred
at the very moment when the govern
ment was representing TIE possibility OF
an honorable, peaceful solution. II
everyone of these representations be
brought religiously to pass, the people
may with some trouble be kept in
check until a paoification scheme of the

all or any should fail. if the Spanish
army in Cuba should consider its hands

PORTO RICO IN UPRoAR.

Island of St. Thomas, W. J., April IS.
According to advices from Porto Rico,
the unrest on the island continues; pub
lie order is not preserved; business is at q
standstill and an internal revolution is
feared. Arrivals here to-day from San
Juan report that on the 9th Of last
month street fight and serious rioting
followed the election. The polls were
raided and the military finally inter-
vened, killing and wounding 20.
The designations from the provisional
cabinet of three autonomists has not
been accepted. There have been demon
strations also at San Juan, where the
police by active measures have restored,
order, but there is no confidence in au-
tonomy and election frauds have been
freely charged.
The activity in improving the fortifica-
lions at San Juan continues. The
American Oil Refinery there is under the
protection of the Spanish troops. Yester-
day the Viscaya and the Almirante
Oquendo were still at San Juan.
The orders to Mr.. P. G. Hanna, United
States consul at San Juan, now here, to
at ST. Thomas, have been re-
iterated from Washington.

in 1898. Regarding the establishment of the
peace league, Miss Schley wrote from Paris
on June II:

pie look down on us and ! know we had no
right TO commence it. ! am just now COM
mencing to get busy getting up a league
OF the Christian women of the world TO put
down the war by protesting publicly against
it. The talk OF the cruelty OF the Spaniards
is all humbug, The manifesto issued by the
league says: We, the undersigned Christian
women OF the world, desire to protest in the
name of humanity against the continuation
of war between Spain and the United
States. and wish 10 show that In this en-
lightened age two Christian peoples need
not resort to such methods 70 obtain their
ends, but that arbitration will suffice"
When her mission at Madrid is ended Miss
Schley will visit President Mckinley and
urge him to discontinue the war.

sentinS the Peace Societies.
Miss Jessie Schley, who has been dele
gated by the Peace Societies of Paris to
visit the queen regent and Sagasta at Ma
drid and President Mckinley at Washing
ton, is a daughter of Charles Schley, a COM
mission broker of Milwaukee, and cousin
to Commodore Schley. She is also a niece
of General Bradley johnson, the confederate
general, and can boast of a direct descent
from the warriors of the revolutionary
period.
Although having the blood of such a war;
like lineage c%oursing through her veins,
Miss schley has always been essentially a
woman of peace. Her life has been de-
voted to philanthropic work. When a young
girl Miss Schley wanted to, enter. the Order
Of the Sisters Of the Sacred Heart, and
actually did enter the novitiate at Albany.
N. Y, but the mother superior of the in
stitution, claiming that her health was bad,
refused to allow her to take the vows of
the order. She then returned to Milwaukee.
and, with the approval of the late Archbishop
Henni, she established schools for the edu-
cation of the children of the poor. She
continued this work for two years, laboring
in the districts where the poorest classes
OF the poorest people resided.
IN 1910 sne gave up her school work in
this city and entered a sisterhood, this time
at st. Louis. She remained two years and
again had to leave the order because she
was broken down in health. On her return
to this city she again recuperated and once
more entered into phllanthropic work on her
own account. The work which she did in
this city attracted the attention of Arch
bishop Ireland of st. Paul and at his solicit
tation she removed to his diocese and es-

woman in the early autumn, in the face of
which flesh, spirit and pocketbook can but
capitulate. Light umbrellas, for example,
arc all going to have new handles. Some of
them will be swans heads of black steel,
with diamond eyes. More interesting still
is an ebony umbrella stick topped at the
handle end with a pine cone of gold, well
powdered with diamonds. A half opened
chestnut burr or a thistle blossom in green
and lilac enamel are beautiful designs soon
to be in the shop windows.
Many women have caught up the habit
Of carrying their keys about with them,
since the artful jeweler has offered them
such lovely gold, silver and black steel
key rings, set at the point where the key
slips on with a cats eye. There is also a
hook on the ring by which you can fasten
the whole bunch to your belt and those who
possess a Fortunatus purse have the steel
keys of their desk, chiffonier draws, etc.
copied in gold or silver to slip on the lux
urious rings.
Hair Ornaments.
1t was inevitable that the young unmar-
ried American woman came sooner or later
to the wearing of diamonds in her hair.
From crowns. diadems and tiaras she is
still debarred, but now she wears a chaplet
of jewels in her locks and a pretty thing it
is in spite of our prejudice against debu-
tantes and diamonds. The chaplet is in the
form of a small, a very small wreath of
olive leaves. The leaves are either of gold,

BY the way, this resurrection Of a mode
from the other end of the century promises
to be one Of the autumn features. At the
moment only the most modish women are
seen wearing them, but any one who has
her grandfather's portrait to model from and
a broad, soft piece of Duches satin can
twist a stock to perfection. Stout, thick
necked women had better satisfy them
selves with the more modest styles of
throat trimming in vogue, but slim, colum-

by the use of these tall tight neck sashes.

bad received the usual printed refusal,
stating that only hospital trained nurses
would be received. She made no common
upon this paper, but shortly after her
father went TO Tampa she came home to
her sisters and, holding up a ticket to
Tampa. told them, laughing. that as she had
bought a ticket she was obliged to go. It
was the first intimation they had that she
was serious In her intentions.
And go she did. There were n good many
family protests, but she waived them aside,
saying that her father and her two brothers
were down there and she was not going to
have them meet danger without being near
by to look after them in case they should
be wounded. In Florida, before the troops
embarked for Cuba, she was constantly by
tho side of her father, riding with him most
OF the time In camp. General Wheeler
urged his daughter to return to Washing
ton, but she waived the subject with her
usual tactfulness, pacifying him and the
sisters in Washington, but giving no posi-
tive promises that would deter her in ac-
eomplishing that upon which she was de-
termined.
How she managed to procure the appoint
ment in the face of the strong objection of
lack of technical training is not known. In
appearance Miss Wheeler is slight and
graceful, with blue eyes and waving brown
hair. She is a society girl of the most
charming southern type and has many
warm friends and admirers in Washington.
When her father announced his intention
OF going TO the war she said, In a testing
way. she believed she would go, too. Her
father and sisters did not take her seriously.
but they learned that after this she had
made a formal application to the War de-
partment for a commission as a nurse and
