AMERICANS HAD LUCK.
A British Officer Says That Advan-
tEge Was on Our side.

who witnessed the destruction of Admit
raj Cervera's squadron. says that the
Americans in addition to every advant-
age had phenomenal luck. There is no
question he states. that the Spanish are
willing to fight as they have denontrated
in the determined stand made on lani.
But. Capt. Paget holds. they have not
stood in the right places. The American
position on the San Juan hills is perfect,
he says. and the Spaniards can never dis

leave Santiago Harbor the fact was
known in advance to the American fleet.
which had an opportunity to prepare.
while Cervera's ships were getting up
steam.
Admiral Cervera. who speaks good
English. seemed to be more impressed by
the CONGRATULATIONS of the American Of
ficers than by any other incident con-
nec.ed with his crushing defeat He
was much gratified at these. and so ex-
pressed himself on several occasions be-
fore he was sent North with his officers
and men who had been taken prisoners.
In his dispatches to the Spanish author
tiles Cervera brought out this fact plain
ly. He seemed to be relieved by the
thought that his part in the war had
ended.

AMBITION OF BLANCo.
Reasons for the Captain Generals
Mendacity in His Dispatches.

The political ambition of Capt. Gen.
Bianco is said TO be indirectly responsible
for Spain's persistent refusals to consider
terms of peace. and the determination of
the Queen Regent to continue the war.
To court favor with the people. Blanco
has taken advantage of his position TO
grossly misrepresent the situation in
Cuba. His reports TO Madrid affirm that
Havana is impregnable; that the Ameri.
cans are afraid to attack it, and that Es
can hold Cuba against invasion for an
indefinite period. He has exaggerated
the strength of his and other Cuban for
tifcations and laid great stress upon the
weak aggressions OF the Americans
He has even misrspresented the de-
struction of Cervera's squadron, saving
that the Spanish vessels ran afoul of a
storm and were wrecked before attacked
by the American fleet.
gasta has learned to place but Lit lie con-
fidence in Blanco's reports, whereas. the
Queen believes them. hence the differ
enCe of opinion between the Quen Regent
and her prime minister over the advis-
ability of suing for peace.
Bianco hopes to supersede Weyler in
public favor. He anticipated the fall
of the present Spanish government and
hopes % profit by the general readjuSt-
ment of Spain's affairs under a new re-
gime.

careless women who care for nothing be-

Oh. what dreadful havoc such women

disorderly that a real good girl will not

SPAIN'S HOME GUARD.
The Peninsula Armies VIII Include
Twenty-Five Thousand Men.

InouSdnu hSn.
London. July s-A special dispatch
from Madrid, reviewing the situation,
says:
"All Spain knows of her defeat, and the
people are beginning to realize the mag
nitude of the disaster. The Conservative
press exhorts good citizens to maintain
peace. An important circular has been
sent to all the Republican organs. signed
by the leaders and bearing the motto:
Prepare In the meanwhile extraordi-
nary military precautions have been TAX
en- to quell any internal trouble.
Gen. Correa. the minister for war and
his secretaries are working day and
night. A second call has been issued for
the Canary Island reserves and additional
forces of home infantry and cavalry are
being raised. while the artillery is being
augmented by two pieces to each battery.
The peninsula armies will include 100000
men by July Is.
THE railroads are preparing war trains
on all lines. and carriages are in readi-
ness at all the garrison stations.
"A high authority, however, expresses
the opinion that the rank and fle of the
soldiery are inclined to condemn the war.
and feel that they are being driven to
bloodshed for unjust causes by scheming
politicians. He, therefore, doubts the ar
my's attitude in the event of civil trou-
bles. The officers, too, while anxious for
war, are divided on the question of 10y
atty to the various claimants to the
throne.
This question of succession is an i'm
portant factor in a terribly tense situa-
ton. 1t is believed the government is
anxious to find a pretext to arrest Gen.
Weyler. fearing the. part he might play
in the event of troubles breaking OUT

Hawaii Joins the Red Cross.

New York. July 9.-Stephen E. Barton
of the Red Cros Society. yesterday made
public the following letter received from
the Secretary of State:
Secretary of the Red Cross Society:
When the transports of the United
States with troops spent two days IN
Honolulu en- route to Manila the neces-
sity of an organization of the Red Cross
was most apparent.
"A meeting was called and a society
formed. with Mrs. Sewall the wife of the
American minister. and Mrs. Dole. the
wife of the president of Hawaii, as pres
ident and vice president.
The secretary was instructed to write
by the first mail for permission to use
the sign of the Red Cross. and to become
an auxiliary of the national association
and to ask for its constitution and by
laws. May We ask also for an early re-
ply. as the actual time IN carrying mail
so great distance is long at best? Very
sincerely youths.

When you see girl these days dragging along
the streets in a too-long pique skirt you mustn't
believe that it is altogether due to the fashion
Of the moment for trained frocks. 1t is mere
than likely that the skirt is brand new and that
the girl is heroically letting it sweep the ground
until the laundry can reduce it to a proper
length. Three movings are said to be as bad as
a fiie. and three washings said to be necessary
to bring piquc to the proper and subjective
state of shrinkage. After that the material
chaEgcth not hut before that it is liable to con-
tract by the yard each time it is dipped in the
tub. Letting down. and remaking are Of little
avail: the only way to insure properly fitting
pque skirt after its third washing is to have
it made originally about three times too large
for you in all directions. Never was there
material with such a capacity for shrinkage.
1t has often been suggested that the best way to
circumvent these difficulties would be to have a
pique washed three times before making up, but
for whatever reason, this is never done. Perhaps
it is because three washings tend to make the
material wearable in other ways. But that is
why you see So many overlong pique dress skirts
because their wearers know it is n mere aues-
tion of washing until they will be something

Roll Your Umbrella.

''If half the citizens Of the world,' said q
young woman who works umbrella covers,
''only knew such simple thing as how to roll
up an umbrella. most Of the umbrellas brought
to dealers to be mended would never have needed
repairs.
''The right way TO roll your umbrella is to
take hold of the ends of the ribs and the stick
with the same hand and hold them tightly enough
to prevent them being twisted while the covering
is being twirled around with the other hand Then
your umbrella will be nicely closed rs when
you bought 1t, and the only wear and tear will
be on the cloth.
''It is twisting the ribs out of shape around the
stick and fastening them there that spoils most
OF the umbrellas. Never hold the umbrella by the
handle alone when you roll it up and yoa will
