Dazzling Event in Honor Of Chinese
New Year.
Cotillion OF Bachelors Dance ut
Rauseher's-Miss Amy Iieher's
Luncheon to Miss Alger.

The gracious hospitality of the Chi.
nese Minister and Madame Wu tri-
umphed yesterday afternoon over the
storm that seemed to exert itself to
show how disagreeable it could be dur
ing the hours that the host and hostess
I were at home to their guests. The le-
| cation, which. architecturally, is one OF
the most palatial residences at the cap
ital, was magnificently decorated with
( flowers, and at every turn were sylvan
/ vistas formed by gracefully branching
palms. On the mantel of the recep-
/ ton hall glowed huge vase of Amer
lean Beauty roses; the stairway was
twined with laurel and smilax, and the
archway by the steps was draped with
large Chinese flags, with dragons ram
pant-the rich yellow of the silk con-
trasting vividly with the Stars and
Stripes, festooned Loyalty between
them
The pretty, dark-eyed hostess was
gowned with Oriental spleador, in ma
tive skirt formed of panels of scarlet
satin and blue velvet arabesqued rlch-
" with gold. The loose overdress was
of azure and white satin, and her beau
tiful black hair scintillated with Jew
els that radiated from circular gold
armament fastened in a curious, but
pretty fashion at the back of her head
Madame Wu does not, as yet, converse
in our language, but no English could
be more graciously cordial and capti-
waiting than that which she speaks
with her eyes.
Receiving in line with the Minister
and Mime. Wu were Mrs. John W. Fos
ter, Mrs. Gorham and Mrs. Perry
Heath, and among the ladies assisting
were the daughters of the Cabinet, to-
gether with the Misses Stuart. Miss
Taimage, the Misses Condit-Smith
Miss Mattingly. Miss Gorham. and the
attaches of the legation and their
wives.
The floral centerpiece of the beauti-
fully artistic tea table was a huge
blue vase of La France roses rising
from a wealth of smilaN and ferns
Massive candelabras. capped with pink
shades, stood at either end of the
board. and among the artistic adorn-
ments were two red candy dragons ris-
ing from a mist of spun sugar, as white
and ethereal as sea spray. Mrs. Frank |
Schneider. lovely in pink satin and jew |
eled gauZe, poured chocolate. While |
Mrs Yang presided over the tea
The storm had apparently no damp |
ening effect on the large number of |
visitors who called on the minister and |
his charming wife. and il cannot be |
possible that throughout the Flowery |
Kingdom there could have been a more
graceful tribute than that paid by |
Wu to the Chinese New Year.

FOR THE NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Bill Introduced for the Appropriate
ton of Fifty Million
Dnllnra -.

Washington, March 9.--Chairman
Cannon of the appropriations COM
mittee has introduced a bill entitled
Making appropriations for the ma
tional defense" Tt reads: '"There is
,ereby appropriated out of any money
II the treasury not otherwise a%ppropri-
lted for the national defense and for
zach and every purpose connected
herewith, to be expended at the dis
sretion of the president; and remain
AVAILABLE till June 30, 1899, the sum of
$4,000, 900" 1t was referred to the
Committee on appropriations. The
bill is the outcome Of Il conference at
The white house this morning, at which,
Cannon, Long, Dingley, Allison and
%Grosvenor were present. The situa-
zion is considered grave, aud it was
deemed imperative that an immense
appropriation of this character should
be made at once to prepare for the ma
tional defense.
The bill appropriating so millions
FOR national defense will be considered
at a meeting of the appropriations
committee, and probably be reported
for immediate action. So far as known
there will be no vote against it.
Chairman Hull of the military COM
nittee, moved the passage under sus-
pension of the rules of the liawley bill
creating two additional regiments of
artillery. Debate on the bill developed
nothing exciting, butgthere wa a great
,utburst of enthusiasm when Hay,
lcm.. of Virginia, declared he stood
ready to vote for any measure to pre-
pare for the emergency which con-
fronted the country. Two democrats,
Jones of Virginia and Cox Of Tennes-
sec, spoke against the bill, butt passed
without division.

Miss Fullerton was strolling on the For

This is something like n record Our

brave young athlete actually supported a

SPANISH GOVERNMENT IN BAD FIX
snsasta Dare Not Inform Spain Of
the Real Facts in the

Madrid, March 9.-The Spanish gov
.rnment is making extraordinary eff
forts to prevent news getting in OF
out of Spain. Thousands OF dispatches
are suppressed. Sagasta is afraid to
ct the people of Spain know the truth
about the situation.
He has utterly failed to raise the
money needed for war preparations
and is hiding from the Spaniards the
fact that the United States is rapidly
putting its navy in fighting condition.
| have private advices that the pope
IS doing all in his power to induce
Spain to submit the whole question to
arbitration. Sagasta does not dare
consent, for he breads the military
leaders,, who are really anxious to fight
;he United States.
The result of the present ncgotia-
lions between the pope and the queen
regent will demonstrate how much
Influence and authority the vatican has
In Spain today.
If Sagnsta persists in resisting the
advice OF the pope it is likely that the
whole power of the church will be eN-
srted to ecure the independence of
Cuba.
The queen regent is personally will
ing to accept the counsels Of the pope,
But she is powerless to act, being Il on
stitutional monarch and compelled to
follow the advice Of her ministers.
The statement made by Cardinal
Rampolla to the Roman correspondent
Of the absolute impotence of Spain is
correct as the vatican is as infinitely
and accurately informed about Spain's
finances us the Spanish minister of
finance himself.
Spain is completely isolated, and, as
Cardinal Hampolla says, no European
nation will dare to hinder the United
States from giving liberty to Cuba.
