CHARGED WITH EMBEzzLEMEN,

CHARGED WITH ENTERTAINMENT.
 Detective Sergeant Dennehy yester- day arrested Abner c. Laird, twenty five years of age, on the charge of em- bezzlement from the Merwin Provision company. Laird was employed by the company as collector and has been suspected by officials of the company, but positive evidence was not obtained until lately when bills were sent to customers for collection and they pro- duced receipts. The money had not been turned in at the office. Laird was dismissed from the company's service and Walter E. Coe, the manager, made complaint to Assistant City Attorney Webb. Laird was arrested while he was riding a wheel on Howard avenue. In the complaint there are six counts, aggregating $S4.43. Laird had not se- cured bonds last evening.

 Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 1S,-When Surgeon General Sternberg's female immunes arrived in Santiago, a month after the battle, no provision had been made for them. They had waited two days on board the ''Olivette" in the harhor, when General Wood, military governor of the city, came to Miss Barton and said: Tor Gods sake, tell me what to do with Sternberg' S nurses? There is work enough for them in the hospital, but where can they eat and sleep? They can't re- main on the 'Olivette,' for she goes to sea tomorrow; nor can they stay eve ry hour of the twenty-four with the men in the hospital. There are some young ladies from good families among them and they must have suit able protection when not on duty"
 It was really not Miss Barton's bus mess, in the mission of Cuban relief or which our good president had sent her; but since the surgeon general had neg lected this branch of his own depart ment, she promptly shouldered the burden. Send the nurses ashore,
 said she. "They can go to work al
 once in the hospital, and before night
 place shall be provided for them" An empty house was immediately secured, furniture rented, necessary
 crockery and cooking utensils pur. chased and couple of Cuban negress- es engaged to do the work. But who could spare time to superintend the thing?

If he prefers the oven ON wheels, which
now forms a part of a United States

The cooks of the regular army are up

meals under difficult circumstances.
Lieutenant Henry J. Reilly, U. S. A.,
in a recent article on army cooking con-
tributed to The Army and Navy Jour
nal says:
"If the cooks know their business
the ratiOns are well cooked and palata-
BILE. The men are CCntented, the sick
report has but few names ON it, and
their duty is easily and readily done. If
there are no good cooks in the company

SANTA CRUZ, METROPOLIS OF THE CANARY
ISLANDS.
cials do not desire positions ON the is
lands and regard an appointment in the
Canaries rather in the nature of an exile
from Spain than as a source of profit
The Guanches, or native Canary is
landers, are mongrel race, darker in
color than even the population in south
ern Spain, where Moorish blood predom-
mates. They are the descendants of
Phenicians, Carthaginians, Moors and
negroes, all Of whom at one time owned
or occupied the islands. They are a sim
pie rural folk, devoted entirely to such
agriculture as the soil and climate of
the islands admit, and as industrious as
might be supposed under a tropical
sun.
When the islands were first discover.
ed by Europeans, the Guanches were
warlike, and more than once repelled
Spanish and Portuguese expeditions
sent to accomplish their subjugation.
The power of firearms, however, finally
overcame the arrows and spears of the
islanders, and one by one the different
islands of the group were subjected to
the control Of the whites. For long
time they were a source of contention
between Spain and Portugal, being
claimed first by one, then by the other,
and not until the present century was
the Spanish authority definitely main.
tanned
1t would be an easy matter to over
throw this authority in spite of its long
tenure. One of our armored cruisers
could do the business in day. Santa
Cruz, the principal port of the islands,
had until recently the most ancient kind
Of defenses. Recently, however, the
Spanish have strengthened the garrison
there and at other ports and have mount
ed a few modern guns but nothing
effective enough to stand against Yankee
gunnery has been established
The greater part Of the business Of
the Canaries is transacted at Santa Cruz,
and under civilized rule the islands
would become available for their agri-
cultural resources, but in the Canaries,
as elsewhere, Spanish misgovernment
has done everything possible to compass
the degradation of the people 1t is the
Spanish policy which retains in use the
palanquin of the east, and the caro-, or
OK sledge, and the donkey
Santa Cruz is located ON the island Of
Tenerife, whose famous peak is known
10 navigators as one of the most impos-
ing landmarks in the world. The noun
tain rises l2, 1S2 feet above the sea- the
peak having the form Of a sugar Loaf.
Considering the fact that the island is
itself mountain, springing almost per-
pendicularly from the ocean, the bottom
of which is six miles below, Tenerife
is the loftiest peak in the world
Another important Canary town is
Las Palmas, the seaport of Grand Ca
nary. 1t fronts east and lies at the base
of high sea wall, whose straight sides
betray their deep foundation. The ter
raced roofs suggest TO the observer that
the houses had originally been con-
struoted with an upper story, which
had been blown off by hurricane.

The pretty and becoming white vests to
dark basques are among the new devices
of fashion. The most of this style OF
basque has the smart little position in
the back trimmed to match the front.
Braid is just as fashionable as it was
upon all goods thick enough TO bear it. l
saw one dress where the basque with the
front of the skirt and eight inches deep
around the hips was one mass of bronze
soutache sewed on in queerly shaped de-

in front and formed tabs and these were
| braided in the same manner The material
was tan colored cloth. Another pretty
cloth suit in slate gray cloth had a very
pretty design wrought in narrow black
soutache down the front breadths and
| around the hips; also on the neat little
cape to match.
There are all manner of vests and chem
isettes and ties. They may seem insignifl-
cant, but without them no costume is
complete. There are some of the most
startling colors, such as scarlet, cherry,
magenta, emerald and all the yellows
But there are also others of milder tone,
such as rose, corn mauve and lilac, light
