TERRIBLE PICTURE
 OF DESPAIR

London, July 29.-The Havana correspond ent of the Times in a letter dated June IS presents terrible picture of the despair that is falling upon the city in the absence of news from the outside world in face of the advancing prospect of famine and in the daily watching for the Spanish fleet which never came. He says:
 Wild rumors are af1oat. The more timid people imagine all kinds of disasters and foretel lterrible things; while, always few miles off and steaming to and fro are the vessels of the blockading feet with the in- tention to starve Havana into subjection for that apparently is the safe and certain, if not very heroic American plan. The attitude of the population under calamity is indeed admirable. as is that of the sol diers also, despite the absence of pay and their scanty rations. They are eating their hearts out with helpless dull rage, be- cause they cannot get at and try conclu- sions with the very visible, but unattainable foe

COULD HAVE SAVED
 ALL THE PASSENGERS

Chicago July @.-La Bourgogne could have been saved with all her passengers on board according to MT. P. F. O. Flaherty manager of the International Ship Bandage company. He said: "The ship remained above water for probably forty minutes, while five minutes would have sufficed to effectively close the whole in her side with a ship bandage. These have recently been successfully tested at the New York navy yard When the steamship companies util- ize intellect for life saving as freely as they do for coal saving, ocean travel will be doubled. The ship bandage l refer to has recently been successfully tested at the New York navy yard

A COALING STATION
 ON AMERICAN COLGNY

St. Paul, Minn. July 29.--Senator Davis said this evening concerning the terms of peace with Spain, particularly as to the Philippines:
 We ought to have a coaling station there, and by a coaling station I do not mean heap of coal on a deck. A coaling station means an American colony and ship yards and dry docks, and that means a sufficient number of troops to maintain our authority there"
 Senator Davis said that he did not an- ticipate any complications with foreign na- tions over the Philippines.
 A great deal has been published about the alleged unfriendliness of Germany" he said, but there was really nothing in 1t. Germany did seem little officious at one time, but more was made of the incident than facts warranted"

 There was no scarcity of liquor in town but 1t is not sold openly. A few American soldiers got drunk and were locked up.
 There was no offensive display of mili- tary force by our soldiers and the Spanish sentry boxes at the street corners were un- occupied. The city hail, the theater where Adeina Patti made her first appearance on this continent, and other buildings, were occupied by American soldiers who also kept the crowds off the wharves that the transports might have an opportunity to land supplies.

Many thousands of men were landed from small boats in the surf or at this wharf and here was landed most of General Shafters artil- lery. The process was tedious and while the men at the front were nursing sores caused by lack of vegetable food, the crews of the transports were heaving overheard hundreds of barrels of potatoes and onions which spoiled on board

Britisher Not in It

Philadelphia, July 29.-Jem Curran, the much-heralded champion lightweight of England, made his first appearance in this city boxer tonight at the areana in a six-round fight with Jack Bennett of Me Keesport, Pa. Much had been expected of the Englishman, but from start to finish of the bout he entirely out-classed by Bennett.
 Although no decision was announced at the arena fights. it is the opinion on every side that Curran was a big disappointment and stands practically no chance with the boxers of the Lavigne and Daly stamp, whom he expects to meet.

 Had America demanded a cession Of the Philippines outright, Spain could hard ly have avoided yielding Now she may find in her very weakness the means of softening the other conditions of peace For. since the United States Have decided that the islands are not worth annexing some arrangement must be made with Spain to ensure the revision of the islands to the United States in the event of Spain failing to maintain a tolerable government
 Here are all the elements of bargain, which skillfu diplomacy might turn to Spain's advantage. but the thing must be done quickly and the advantage not press ed too far

SUSPENSION OF HosTILITIEs
VIII Not Take Place Until spain
Fully Accepts Our Condition..

Washington. Aug. >. - The progress
made by the peace negotiations has
given rise TO a superstition in some
quarters that hostilities are to be sus-
pended very soon. This will depend
entirely upon the attitude Of the Span
ish government and the nature of it's
answer to our demands. 1t has been
made clear 10 the French ambassador
thar hostilities will not be suspended
except upon the assurance OF q full &C
ceptance of our conditions. and the
Spanish cabinet has doubtlessly been
informed that Ii depends upon Spain
when the war shall cease. Meanwhile.
as al earnest that u government has
not interrupted the execution of It's
campaign. an order was issued from
the war department for the dispatch Of
an entire army division TO reinforce
Generals Miles and Brooke in Puerto
Rico. This will be known as the pro-
visional division and will be command
ed by Maj. Gen. Wade. at present in
command at Camp Thomas. He is or
dered TO turn over that command to
Maj. Gen. Breckenridge and TO report
TO Secretary Alger at Washington for
instructions before departing for
Puerto Rico, bringing with him his
cGjutant general and bis aides.

John Albion Andrew, the great war
governor Of Massachusetts,, had the
good fortune to spend his boyhood Oh
a farm in the state OF Maine. His
father and mother. though OF genial
humor, were rigid disciplinarians: and
he had occasion In after life to thank
them for training him in orderly ha-
bits In small, every day matters. One
OF his sisters related not long before
her death, which occurred In 1897, that
Albion was summoned home from
school one day by his mother, who
merely pointed to the boys cap, which
he had carelessly left on the floor. The
hint was enough. Without a word lie
picked up the car, hung 1t on the proper
peg. and promptly went back to school.
The father also strictly enforced The
rule. "A place for everything, and ev-
erything in its place" A pitchfork,
in common use for fcddering the cat
tie. was always to be kept standing in
a certain corner OF the barn, where ,e
could lay his hand On 1t in the nigat,
without a lantern. On n occasion.
he felt for ii in vain. and called the
boys 10 account. With a mixture Of
chagrin and amusement. they reported
that Father was mighty particular,
for that fork wasn't more'n two INCHES
out OF place."
