u Usa: fur Old Vets.

New York Herald: The problem of
what 10 do with YOU. old wells has ut
been solved. Scores OF women in
the past have looked disapPointedly at
the quality of yelling in their possess
sion, conscious that it was past wear
ing in the ordinary way, and not See
ing what further use could possibly be
madesof it. But now it is the order of
the day to waste nothing, and women
clover with their needles and of artistic
proclirities have found IL place for wells
once cast aside.
Given the know how" you can do
almost anything in the way of dress
decoration with a bit of a veil. Hats
can be trimmed with it, and n veil
drnpcd cleverly OF II hat makes with
out a question an extraordinarily pref
ty effect. 4 hat adorned with Il veil,
besides, needs little other ornament.
Another use for old wells is ruffling the
bottoms of petticoats with them. This
requires some skill. and the rut1ling
must be done daintily, but it is a
famous effect for a p%etticont.
Again, the front of ball frocks can
be dccked with these, and ruflles for
the wrists of dresses are quite possible.
Some girls make %collarettes of their
OLD NellS, n yet others entire sleeves.
a number Of wells Of the same sort
make capital slceves-slceves of II gen.
orally fluffy and seductive effect.
Ornaments for the hair are much in
vogue Just now, and here is where the
old veil comes in the mo, II nptly. Choux
is the name the French give to the con
fections of hair dressing that every
woman is enthusiastic over Just now,
and a veilis as perfect raw material for
one of these chouX as could we'll be i'm
agined. The pulled mp daintiness Of
these gives them their charm. They
are worn in putfs II in bows with rib
bon aigrettcs, and a great variety of
styles is possible. This is the very
latest fashion of the springtimc.
If one is fortunate enough to own
any of the Italian wells OF white, it
should be remembered that these are
the most modish possible to deal with,
and are the most fashionable to make
over in any of the ways described.
There is yet another use for old wells,
They come into play finely in making
work bags. The foundation Of these
work bags is of silk, over which the
yelling is draped. Only coarse yelling
should be used for this purpose.

From the National Volunteer Re

The following extract is culled from
an account of the war records of the
men who are the prime movers in the
formation of the National Volunteer
Reserve. The article clearly defines
the aim and scope Of this organization
and is illustrated with numerous pho
tographs of men who have made ou1
history.
The names of the confederate pro.
smoters of the National Volunteer Re.
serve suggest memories equally stir

two wars. Grant and he were class.
mates ut West Point, and in this con.
nection an interesting and hitherto
unpublished story is told. A few
weeks before the first Bull Run severa,
confederate officers were dining to.
gether in Richmond. The talk at table
turned upon the merits of the men
who then held high command i'll the
union army, and it was the opinion OF
h majority that the ablest soldiers
in the old army had cast their fortunes
with the south. Buckner was the only
one present who failed to agree with
this belief.
Gentlemen said he, there was d
man in my class at West Point whom
you must omit from your calculations.
He leftthe army years Ago., and 1 don't
know whether he is still alive or not,
but if he is and turns up on the north

"Buckncr proved a true prophet.

tract was made.
Probably before the end Of the week the
Spanish company will begin the discharge
of its obligation and have shipped at San
tiago at least 1000 of the Spanish soldiers
on the long journey to Spain, a trip
which. 1t is expected, will occupy about fif-
teen days. Word came to the War Depart

United States consul at Fort de France,

steamship Alicante, which has been lying
there for several weeks, was just about to
sail for Santiago to ship some of the pris-
oners. She is due to arrive there about
Thursday morning.

WASHINGTON, July 25-In dispatch to

ter reports that five hundred new cases of
fever developed in his corps at Santiago
yesterday. The number includes, of course,
all cases of fever, probably some cases of
genuine yellow fever. Only one death is re-
ported, that one being from yellow fever
The cheering intelligence is conveyed that
the situation is improving, and that about
450 who have been Ill, have returned to
duty. The dispatch, as posted by the War
Department, follows:
Number of new cases on the 24th inst.
about 5OO At least 45O returned to duty.
Actual figures will be given hereafter. Not
withstandng the figures, the situation
seems somewhat improved. There was one
death, Sergeant j. Larnnen Troop G. Third
Cavalry, of yellow fever, at Siboney.
"SHAFTER, Major General
AS heretofore indicated by General Shaf-
ter and the medical officers of his corps,
the cases of fever are of a notably mild
type. The patients are i'll from three days
to week and then return to duty quite as
well as ever The medical officers concur
in the opinion that this fever renders the
men immune for the time at least, to yell
lew fever.
The question Of returning large part Of
General Skaters command to this country
for rest and recuperation was under con-
sideration by the war officials, but the idea
practically has been abandoned, at least for
the present Those who are Ill now or who
have been exposed to infection are isolated
in detention camps and are not permitted to
return to the main body of the troops until
all danger has been averted. Through the
adoption of rigid sanitary precautions and
careful attention to those who fall i'll, it is
expected the fever will run it's course in
comparatively brief time.

touching to witness it. Her worst enemies
recognize in the Queen personal qualities
worthy of the highest admiration. The
Queen used every means at her disposal to
prevent war. Her great hope lay in Senior
Moret (Senor Moret Prendergast), the
former minister of colonies, and who would
have carried his point but for Senior Gullon
(former minister for foreign affairs) To-
day and ever since the war began, the great
occupation of the Queen is to find the quick

thoughts of peace"
An Associated Press dispatch from
Madrid, dated p M, Sunday. delayed in
transmission, says: 1.-THE correspondent
here of the Associated Press. has had an
interesting conversation with a person oc-
cupying a high position in the Queen
Regents household, and whose duties bring
him daily into intimate relations with her
Majesty. He said the quarrel between the
United States and Spain is much easier Of
adjustment than is generally believed. The
Queen Regent, he continued naturally en-
deavored to avoid war, and also she desires
an honorable peace. She is quite alive to
the force of public opinion and holds strict
ly to the constitutional laws of the nation.
1t is an error to suppose the Queen Regent
is under the pressure Of the present or any
government, or that she is regardless of
public opinion. when it is in consonance
with the true interests of the Spanish gov
ernment. The official quoted then added an
important statement, saying: "rhe present
government will not initiate peace, but a
modified Cabinet. headed by Senor Gamazo,
minister of public instruction, will conclude
the negotiation and then retire and General
Polavieja with a combination including
Senior Silvela and General Campos, will re-
organize the country. Everybody considers
that Spain should treat direct with the
Americans, whose practical good sense will
prevail over spreadeagleism.'

INTERNAL DISORDERS.
Disturbances I'm the Provinces Still
Continue.

PARIS, July 25.-Private letters received
here from Madrid. under date of July %.
say that the internal disorders in the Span
ish provinces continue. Some demonstra-
tions have taken place at Granada, sup
posed to be due to the opposition mani
tested towards the Octroi tax and local dis
putes, but in view of the rigorous censor
ship on all questions of public order. it is
difficult to ascertain the facts.
At Gargia. in the province of Barcelona,
a mob recently fired on the gendarmes. and
an armed band. said to have been composed
of jail birds, had appeared at Banoe and
Valdores. Thus far the efforts of the au-
thorities to capture them have been futile.
Great precautions were taken at the open
air theater in the Buen Retro Gardens, in
Madrid, Friday evening, owing to an ex-
pected demonstration in favor of General
weyler, who was present, but nothing de-
veloped.
