. tention OF the Spaniarus while the main
body of troops were landed at Baiquiri
The General said that the 5000 troops at

1t is said that the President has con-
sented to this arrangement, and, accord

Do Not Expect Battle Soon.

special Dispatch to The Sun.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The War De-
partment does not expect General Shat
ter's army to attack for at least two or
three days. General Corbin, in speak
ing about the landing. said this morning
that everything had gone along splen-
didly and great things had been accom-
piished. He gave his opinion, however,
that there would be no battle for day
or two unless the spaniards attacked
our troops. 1t was not likely they
would do this, with tie fleet ready to
shell the Spaniards, ii they should make
any such move. He said there was much
more to do besides landing the troops
before the army is ready for a battle.
Lines have to be put out and other
preparations made; besides General Shat
ter will undoubtedly give his soldiers
three days. rest, which they greatly
need.

CROWDS AT THE CAPITOL.
New Rules Issued Concerning the
House Galleries

The dilatory tactics of the President in
made it necessary for the committee hav-
ing supervision of the House galleries to
issue new rules.
Each member Is permitted to issue tick
cts for two seats, and these tickets are
good only for the day they are issued
The crowds at the Capitol for some
time past have been simply irrepressble,
and it has been found absolutely neces-
sary, in order to keep them under control
to permit only a limited number to go to
the gallery floor. Under the circum-
stances. this could not be done if per-
son had a ticket to the private gallery.
As there are many times more tickets
issued for the session than there are
seats it was found necessary to cancel
them all and make a ticket good for one
day only, also limiting the number to two
for each member
Considerable disappointment was felt
yesterday among the members of the
House at the action of the Speaker in
clearing the floor shortly before u
o'clock Many of the members had
brought their wives with them, and the
galleries having been filled at clock
there was no place for them to go to
hear the message, unless they were per-
mltted to remain on the floor of the
House. 1t was stated that the Speaker
had no feeling in this matter, as he had
provided himself with ten reserved
seats. But, as usual, there was no re-
dress; the ladies had to go.

THE EsTHETIc SENIOR POLO.
Alleged Insult to Him Proves IA De
IusiOn.

The esthetic Senior Polo y Bernabe,
representative of Spain, according to a
morning newspaper, has been insulted.
Coming out of his residence one day he
noticed a slight discoloration on the en-
bassy sign. 1t may have been the wealth
er. it may have been tobacco juice or
some other substance. Still Senor Polo
is sensitive and he cOniectured that
some American intended to insult him.
He would not have it. He determined to
appeal for protection to the police.
In Madrid the Spanish could placard
their walls with obscene and vile Illus
trations against the Americans; in Cuba
SPANS soldiers could reyile and spit up
on American citiZens;@ in Havana they
could murder American seamen, but in
Washington he proposed to be respected
and unsightly objects offensive to the
nose and eye were not to be allowed on
the Spanish. \ stray cat or dog which
stopped awhile on the embassy steps was
driven away and the steps swept off and
scrubbed So when he saw his beautiful
sign all besmeared and discolored he
complained to the police. But Lieut..
Boyle was amused.
The officer on the beat investigated.
but the indignity as far as could be de-
termined existed only in the mind of
the immaculate Senior Polo and his news
paper friend who exploited it. The po-
liceman reported that no vandalism had
been committed and no property injured.
The wind prevailing for several days
blew a large quantity of dust in the YES
tibule of the legation and into the Win
dows. but when Senor Bernabe looked
al it his ina agination conceived stones and
filth 1t is believed his mind was at that
moment dwelling upon the pictures upon
Madrid walls. The policeman on the le-
cation beat have enough to think about
in protecting American property without
worrying over Senior Polo's delusion anc
no arrests are to be made upon his com
plants.

THE VATICAN DIsPLEAsED
sDain's Untruth Places the Pope In a
False Position.

Rome, April 6.-The Vatican magnates
are very angry at Spain's conduct 1t ap-
pears that the Pope charged Archbishop
ireland to speak semi-officially to Presi-
dent Mckinley in the interests of peace,
and the archbishop replied that he had
taken the initial steps.
The Pope then notified the Spanish gov
ernment of his action, and despite this,
the dispatches from Madrid announced
that President Mckinley had sought the
Pope's mediation. This untruth has
placed the Pope in a false position and
damaged Spain's interests. The Vatican
is not now disposed to renew it's efforts
at mediation.
The Vatican presented a scene of un-
wonted activity this morning. The au-
thorities were unusually busy and dis
tinguished persons were constantly going
and coming, while many dispatches were

Rubber Band For Headache.

departmental headaches are a dis
tinct malady, " remarked we'll known
physician to reporter, land it is some
what of surprise how many sufferers
there are among department. clerks
from this trouble. The thing seems to
grow among them, and they have their
headaches as regularly as they have
their work.
A simple remedy which is worth try
ing is to put rubber band around the
head just above the ears. The band
should not be tight enough to stop the
circulation of the blood. The band
known as the string band is generally
sufficiently heavy for the purpose. 1t
should be applied just as soon as it is
noticed that the headache is setting in
and taken off the moment the pain
ceases. In many cases the rubber band
works nicely, though it affords no re-
lief when the headache is the result Of
stomach troubles or biliOusness.
II find also that rubber band twist
ed about toe between the corn aud the
foot is handy remedy to stop the pain
from jumping corn. Corns are very
liable to be troublesome when there is
much humidity in the atmosphere. The
rubber band seems to temporarily quiet
the nerves in the toe, and in this way
stop the pain. AS in the case of band
around the head, the pressure should not
be tight enough to stop the circulation
of the blood. w Washington Star.
