WOMAN'S SlGHFORAPOCKET

How dear to this heart are the old fashioned
dresses
When fond recollection presents them to
viewl
In fancy 1 see the old wardrobes and presses
Which held the loved gowns that in girlhood
knew;
The wide spreading mohair, the silk that hung
by it,
brown;
The ruff1ed foulard, the pink organdie nigh it,
But, oh, for the pocket that hung in each
gown
The praisewortny pocket that hung in each
gown
That dear, roomy pocket I'd hail as a treasure
Could but behold it in gowns of today.
I'd find it the source of exquisite pleasure,
But all my modistes sternly answer me
"Nayl"
rTwould be SO convenient when going out
'Twould hold my small purchases coming
from town,
And always my purse or my kerchief I'm
dropping.
Oh, me, for the pocket that hung in my
The old fashioned pocket, the obsolete pocket,
The praiseworthy pocket that hung in my
gownl
A gown with pocket How fOndly I'd guard
Each Gay ere Ia don III Ia brush IL Win
Not full Paris costume could make me dis
card it,
Though trimmed with the laces an empress
might wear.
But have no hope, for the fashion is banishei.
The tear of regret will my fond visions
drown.
AS fancy reyerts to the days that have van
iShed
- I sigh for the pocket that hung in my gown
fashioned obsolete pocket
The praiseworthy pocket that hung in NY
gown.

Not Confirmed

MADRID, May 2S-7 p.m.-Persistent
rumors are in circulation that the govern
ment has received very favorable news but
is waiting for confirmation before making
its advices public. A rumor current on the
bourse today that the Spanish had recap
tured Cavite gained credence in view of the
fact that General Blanco telegraphed from
Havana to Leut.-Gen. Correa, the minister
Of war; congratulating him upon the Span
ish victory in the Philippines.
In the chamber today, in reply to ques-
tons on the subject, Senior Romero Giron,
minister of the colonies, said the govern
mcnt had received very favorable news
from the Philippines and added that Off
cial dispatches announced that all was well
in Cuba, and Porto Rico.
Senor Sagasta, the premier, on leaving
The chamber this afternoon, said to group
of reporters that the Cadiz squadron had
put to sea to carry out maneuvers, kSl5
would return to Cadiz.
8 p.m.-In official circles there is No con-
frmation obtainable of the rumor that Ad-
miral Cervera has defeated the American
vessels. The general public and the press
are increduous regarding such favorable
tidings. The officials persist in the state
ment that Admiral Cervera is still at San
tiago de Cuba.

Pie for the Soldiers

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-Several hun
dred school children, each bearing home
made pie, marched this afternoon to the
Fontana warehouse, where the Washing
ton volunteers are in barracks. The pies
were distributed to the soldiers, who great
ly appreciated the courtesy of the little
ones.
1t is proposed that the companies now
in the field shall be recurited to greater
strength. The number of men now in COM
panies is 81. The intention is to have 109
men in each company, and thus obviate the
necessity of making the brigade cumber-
some by the addition of great number of
small companies. Col. Berry of the Sew
enth has already made arrangements to Sc
cure more Southern California men for his
regiment.

Yesterday morning the armed tug Ma

her. The exchange was formally effected
and the facts In the case were set forth in
writing.
Before departing Messrs. Thrall and
Jones said they desired to publicly express
their gratitude for the kind treatment they
had received in captivity and for the num-
erous delicate attentions bestowed upon
hem by tho Soan rds. They made this
declaration as a contradiction Of stories
published in New York papers, alleging
they had been Ill treated.
The Spanish prisoners, Leut.-Col. Cor

orderlies narrated that on their trip from
Tampa to Key West they were amazed to
find themselves the object of the most
friendly demonstrations on the part of the

Sham Preparations
NEW YORK, May 2S.-A dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: The concentra-
ton of troops at Spain's southern ports
from Cadiz to Malaga is serving a two
fold purpose. In the first place the gov
ernment is catering to public sentiment by
annoying Great Britain. Secondly, the
Ministry is making the people believe that
some deep design is harbored by which the
forces and the reserve fleet will be sent
shortly in the direction of the West In
dis.
The new Foreign Minister, the Duke AL
| modovar de Rio, who knows England per-
fectly, and the Ministers of War and of
Marine do not like these concessions to
the patriotic papers. but the Cabinet is so
sorely divided that 1t is doomed to an
other reconstruction soon and is obliged to
live from hand to mouth.

A SECOND EXPEDITION
WILL LEAVE WHEN THE MEN
ARE READY
Ierritt Will Take, No Soldiers to Ma
nila Unless They Are First Fully
Equipped

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-No date has
been set for the sailing of the second flo
tilla Of transports with troops and supplies
for the Philippines. Major General Merritt
spent most of today in consultation with
Major Generals Otis and Merriam on the
subject of the preparation Of the troops for
Manila, and the military governor Is de-
termined that every man shall be perfectly
equipped before they start on their long
voyage. He is giving his personal attention
to the needs of the expedition, as regards
arms, equipments, sanitary arrangements
and proper provisions for the outgoing
troops. Meantime, every effort is being
made to hurry the work on the transport
ships, and as soon as the vessels are cady
and loaded, General Merritt expects that
the troops will be in good form to travel.
Today, Colonel J. b. Babcock of the adju-
tant generals department; Colonel Charles
Mcclure, chief paymaster to General Mer-
ritt, both from Tampa, and Major Enoch
Crowders, judge advocated from Omaha, ar
rived here and reported for duty Assist
ant Surgeons Straub and keefer are on
their way to San Francisco from Seattle.
Major McCammon. assistant adjutant
general of United States volunteers, has
been relieved from uuty at headquarters
here, and assigned to Major General Otis
staff, under telegraphic instructions from
the war department.
There is some uncertainty in National
guard circles regarding the conditions of
the second call for volunteers. Adjt. Gen.
Barrett this evening wired to the secretary
of war that California had seventeen COM
panies of infantry and three troops of cav
airy, all equipped and anxious for service
No reply to this message has been received
Gen. Barrett believes that the companies
of all regiments sworn in at present will be
built up from S4 to LOG men, and that E.
heavy artillery will be increased from $50
to 200 men each This is the Interpretation
put on the wording of the apportionment
of the second call.
1t is assumed however, that enough and
more men will be called on for the govern
ment to bring into service most of the COM
panies of the Fifth and Second regiments
still in the National guard.
Lieut.. Fred Marvin, commanding the sig
nal corps at Sacramento, has been appoint
ed by President Mckinley on the recon-
mendation of Adjt. Gen. Barrett ; lieu
tenant in the United States army signal
corps. Adjt Gen. Barrett will submit to
Capt. Thompson, U. S. A., on Monday or
Tuesday the full list of the names of the
ftfty-five men called for By the government
for enlistment in the signal corps. The
California organization does not offer
enough available men and many not in the
National guard will be taken. Thirty ex-
pert telegraphers are needed and this MUM
ber is not easy to find.

tana barracks expect to so into camp at the
Presidio within a few days.

In addition to the sham battle there were
a number Of regimental drills, in which
there were very few men compelled to re-
tire because of their exertions. General
Brooke and his staff state that the army
here is becoming more rapidly used to
camp life and the requirements of the SER

positively that no arrests have yet been

Fear and Famine Follow the Bonn

ST. THOMAS, Danish West Indies, May
22.-(Correspondence of the Associated
Press. Copyright, 1898, by the Associated
Press.) The days following the lombard
ment of Porto Rico's capital by Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet have been trying indeed
for the inhabitants Of the Spanish Islands.
Business is dead, there is no movement of
vessels, and San Juan and coast towns
await with fear and trepidation recon-
mencement of hostilities. Many people left
the capital for the interior several weeks
ago, and of those who remained all are
leaving who possibly can do so The ridic-
ulous story that Admiral SIMPSONS fleet
approached San Juan on the morning of the
18th, showing the Spanish flag, and that
crowds of enthusiastic people climbed the
citys walls to cheer for the fleet from the
mother country, is believed in the island.
and the coast patrol fear repetition of the
same trick. But the Porto Ricans are es-
pecially familiar with one American ship,
and that is the Yale. This big liner has
been doing patrol duty around Porto Rico
for some weeks, sometimes coming close in
shore. Residents of the coast know her
WE'LL and she is called 1.-The same boat as
before, she with the three smokestacks. !"
Her appearances have caused many false
alarms that the Americans were returning.
Whenever she is sighted the troops are or
dered out, guns are trained, the Red Cross
prepares for emergencies and the vigilance
and preparation is maintained until the
Yale disappears. During the twelve days
Immediately following the bombardment
food prices advanced greatly in San Juan.
This was partly because the country peo-
pie were afraid to CONNIE into the city.
On May IA eggs sold in San Juan at five
cents each; half a pound of bread was
twelve cents, and the restaurants at once
advanced the prices from 70 cents for bad
breakfast to S2 for a worse one. But Porto
Rico is already threatened with disorders
arising among the people themselves, and
the growing scarcity of food, if the block
ade is maintained, will only add to tits dan

In the evening twilight of winter time,
when the FIRE sparkles and glows and
dances upon the hearth, there are dreams
and air castles of the future in the flames
for the young woman who sits and gazes
into them. Whether these air castles will
ever become realities, is largely a matter
of health.
No woman can hope to be a contented
wife, the mistress of happy home and the
mother of healthy children who suffers
from weakness and disease of the delicate
organs that are distinctly feminine. All
the air castles that she builds will cruinble
into dust, unless she takes measures to cor
rect the disorders from which she suffers.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is posi-
tive cure for all disorders of these most
sensitive organs. Ii makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. 1t prepares woman
for happy wifchood and healthy mother
hood. 1t robs maternity of its peril and
of nearly all pain. 1t insures children with
strong, healthy constitutions. Thousands
of women have testified to its marvellous
merits. For nursing mothers it is the best
supportive tonic.
