Cuban Story of the Battle Of
Ho!guin Reported as a Span
isl, Victory.
CpauiariS Retreated After Sew.
eral Days of Fighting With
loss Of Hundreds.
Battle Occurred in the Hills
and Cuban> Fought Behind
Rocks.

New YORK, March 3. Reports OF
tie recent battle at Holguin, province
q. Santiago de Cuba, have been received
in New York. Instead Of the battle
being Spanish victory as represented
from Havana. 1t was disastrous de.
feat, followed by a retreat on the part
Of the Spanish forces.
The Spanish forces were commanded
by General Llnares, who for some time
had been at Holguin, making prepara.
tons to march to the city Of Santiago
lie Cuba. His army included cavalry
and artillery. Previous to his starting
to march he boasted that he would
make the coast, distance Of 90 miles
in direct line, in four days. By the
road to be followed the distance was 20
miles more His troops were the most
valuable in the Spanish army. many OF
them having been on the island for
| three years.
a week before the starting OF the
march the Long Island expedition had
been landed. To protect the expedl.
ton, force under General Garcia had
been sent to the Southern coast. In
case q demonstration was made, Col
onel Manuel Rodriguez was left with a
vanguard of 80 men to worry Lnares
ii he should try to leave Holguin.
Fought From Behind Rocks.
While the expedition. one ot the
largest ever landed there. was being
protected from attack, the Spanish gem
eral marched out from Hoiguin. Ten
miles from Holguin the road c-ome:
hilly and the rocks afford protection
equal TO any modern fortitication. Col
onel Rodriguez men took their stand
in this natural fortlticatlon near the
town of San Francisco. Owing TO the
character of the country, less than , 2,oOt
Of the Spanish troops could be brought
into action when the Cubans opened

The road. a winding one, was reg

tillery as much AS possible, bat tn
Cuban force of less than 1000 mel
could not be dislodged. Failing t

For long overland journey such are
almost indispensable. Some women
buy very large-sized sponge bags, their
rubber Innings having special excel
lence. For very large hats, however.
1t is impossible to get one of sufficient
size, and bag of any closely woven
fabric is equally useful. Occasionally
careful wives provide these coverings
for their husbands hats as we'll, though
this seems almost unnecessary, as
mems head coverings can be readily
rid of dust.
A traveller was seen recently slipping
the jacket of her travelling suit into
long, light bag provided for the pur-
pose, which, when drawn together at
its mouth by the shirr string and hung
in sleeping-car section, kept the jack
ct as perfectly as If it were lying at
home on closet shelf This same wo-
man had over her expensive seal and
gold-mounted handbag handsome
cover of black cloth. 1t fitted neatly,
with flaps conveniently arranged for
the opening Of the bag. When the lat
ter was closed the cover strapped down
so as to cover it completely with the
exception of the handle. A large mon
ogram was embroidered on the side of
the cover in gold floss.

Table Manners.

Awkward Girl would like to have
a point or two in table manners. She
sees persons of evident good breeding
take into their mouths long stalks of
asparagus and then remove them, after
having extracted the soft pulp and
Juices. One of the persons who did
this criticised lady most sharply be-
cause she left her spoon in her cup.
One authority says that there should
be no spoons used where forks can be
made to do duty; others insist that
spoons are necessary and sensible. She
asks what is one to do under such cir
cumstances. Answer There Is no
better course to take than to follow the
manners and customs of those who oc-
cupy the leading positions in society
where you live. There are certain
ideas and habits which become in
grained into communities and may not
be set aside by young persons or new
corners. Indeed. it would be the ex-
treme Of i'll breeding for you, being a
young person and stranger, to utter
even the least criticism on family
or a neighborhood where you are being
entertained. Better try to conform 20
the prevailing mode rather than make
yourself conspicuous and dlsliked.-Ex.

Walking Exercise.

"No exercise" says a physician,
equals walking as health-giver and
a life-saver. l don't suppose that out
of ten thousand persons a hundred
can walk twenty miles day. And
yet every adult ought to be able to do
SO. Pedestrianism renews every part
of the body. Try it, not as a necess-
ity, but as an exercise. Get out every
morning and walk. Your feet should
be shod with care. Wear good walk
ing shoes Be sure and have room in
the shoes for each toe to perform its
functions, and see that the shoes do
not slip at the heel. Wear thick
woollen stockings, and see that they
do not crease or bind. For person
unaccustomed to exercise let the first
walk be three or four miles, leisurely
taken. Add half-mile every other
day. Keep it up for three weeks, and
you will be able to walk twenty miles
a day easily and without fatigue. You
will see the difference in the muscles
of your limbs, will feel stronger in
every part of your body, and your
mind will do it's best work"

Mushrooms Bouchees.

Melt one ounce butter in sauce
pan, add half tablespoonful -four, stir
and cook three minutes. Add half
cupful mushroom liquor, half cupful
white broth, half teaspoonful beef ex-.
tract, one even teaspoonful salt, one
quarter teaspoonful white pepper.
Cook two minutes, add twelve canned
mushrooms and cook slowly fifteen
minutes. Mix the yolk Of one egg
with half gill of cream; add it to the
mushrooms, draw the saucepan to side
Of stove, not allowing it to boil after
the yolk has been added. Add last
half tablespoonful lemon juice. Have
ready six bouchees, or patty cases, OF
puff paste; heat them in the oven, I'LL
them with the mushrooms and serve.

The Model Skirt.

1t seems to be foregone conclusion
that the model skirt is to fit absolutely
glovelike about the hips, defining the
figure in an astonishing manner, and
widening out at the bottom. The
founce has seen it's best days, although
much worn just at present, and the
dressmakers advise fiat trimmings that
do not destroy the contour of the fig
ure. Embroideries and novel braid
ings will be much used. The panel
skirt will be chosen by those who wish
something distinctive. The panel is
usually the front breadth, narrow at
the top and widening out toward the
hem.
Among the new methods for achiev-
ing the fare at the bottom is plating
the lower fullness separately around
the bottom of the upper skirt. The ef-
feet of one skirt draped above another
so as to show the under one only in
part by raising it an inch or two all
round, and at one side raising the drap-
cry after the Greek manner, or opening
the sides to show the under pettlcoat,
are all charming models, which show
off two distinct shades of one fabric
admirably, the under petticoat always
being of the lighter shade.
Polonaise motifs will abound in trim
mings. and enter into separate parts OF
q skirt by the addition of contrasting
material to the polonaise forming the
length and fullness Of the drapery.
There is no good reason why the old
style of double skirt should not appear
later, since the way has been so well
paved by it, unless the slenderness now
required for the upper part Of the fig
ure remains as fixed as it now is.

LOST IN A STRANGE TOWN.
Husband and Wife Get Separated and
Seek in Vain for Each
Other.

Mrs. Martha Dickson, a young woman,
apparently about 16 years old, came to
this city about a month ago with her hus-
band, a baker, from Salt Lake City. U.
Last night she went to police headquar-
ters and told peculiar story of their
separation. They secured rooms on Lower
Main street and her husband went to
work in a bakery. Yesterday morning they
decided to move to a better locality. He
went out in search Of a room and soon
an express wagon returned for their
trunks and a note was given to her to
meet her husband at bakershop on Fifth
street, near Main, at 3 o'clock. She went
there at the time and was told that he
had left about half hour before. after
being shaved. She did not know the 10
cation of the new home her husband had
selected and began to search on the streets
for him.
Late last night she went to police head
quarters, footsore and worn out with her
search. She said she presumed her hus-
band was also looking for her, but after
separating they had no means of know
ing where to look for each other. Her
husband had not notified the police.
She was taken to the Helping Hand by
Mrs. Lee, the police matron, and word
left at Central police station for her hus-
band. in case he should finally think of
the police as means of locating his
wife
