SERVANTS IN SANTIAGO.
ElierIy Nesresses who Provide for
Their Families Out OF Their
Employcrs' store.

Our servants match the kitchen to
a T. They arc elderly negresses, with
families of their own, and, like mother
birds, they nightly convey to the home

locked up in the wardrobe, writes a
correspondent of the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. Their everyday costume
Is distinctive, if not appropriate. II
consists OF single voluminous white
skirt, very short in front and trail

bodice and short, puffed sleeves, leav-

deliberately embroidered and secured
by string at the top, tied so loosely.
IL tied at all. that a strip Of bare bronze
back stands confessed 20 the waist

weight OF years, are topped with gaudy
turbans; the bare feet are thrust into
slippers Of white canvas, and when my

silk shawl. Both women consider

MUST HAVE HAVANA
Spain Ordered to Evacuate
Cuba by Jan. l.
CANNOT PERMIT FURTHER DELAY.
spanish Commissioners Say 1t VIII
BE More Like CnpitciatiOn Than
Evacuation - To Accept
Under Protest.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The Herald
this morning prints the following dis
patch from it's Havana correspondent:
Regarding my forecast of yesterday
as to date of the cessation OF Spanish
sovereignty in the island being definite
ly fixed as Jan. and that on that day
the American flag win be hoisted on
the palace of the captain general and
the American administration take
charge members Of the American COM
mission stlll decline to say that such
is the case, but my authority for the
forecast makes the fact undeniable.
General Clous said to me this after
noon:
i can say that a note passed to~ay
in reference to the date of evacuation,
but I am not at liberty to state its con-
tents. / can neither deny nor affirm
that it was demand Of the American
commissioners that the date be settled
as Jan. L.
"The note referred to was, as stated
In the dispatch of yesterday, a formal
request, in the nature of an ultimatum,
that the day of final evacuation be
named as Jan. /. IL was courteous in
tone, referring to the nature of the diff
ficulties in the way of the Spanish ad-
ministration, but stating that the
American government could allow no
further delay, that the latest date
that would be agreed to would be Jan.
/ and asking that the date be settled
Immediately, so that no further delay
would result.
"The Spanish commission received the
note late in the afternoon, and no reply
has yet been made. 1t is said the menu
bers of the Spanish commission state
that i'm view Of this decisive notifica-
tion they can only accede, but viii only
do so under protest, as it is utterly
impossible to have their troops out OF
the island then and that TO hoist the
American flag with Spanish soldiers
stnl in the territory will be more in
the nature Of a capitulation than q
treaty of evacuation.
The Spanish authorities are neverthe'
less preparing to close all matters OF
/ the administration of the island d.
cree has been issued by the minister o
! finance stating that Oct. 81 was the las
| day for the inauguration Of new bust
/ ness and that all current affairs wouli
1 be ended during the month of Novem
/ Der, when inventories of the differen
departments would be completed an'
fled and packed to be sent 70 Spain.
AT the request of the Spanish let
ter has been addressed to General Woo
at Santiago by the Americans request
! ing that he afford every facility for tn
4 removal Of the bodies of Generals Nari
del Rey and Santoscildes, the commits
sion to remove which will leave Hava
ma shortly.
"A formal note has passed giving DI
Lame permission TO visit the militar
hospitals Admiral Sampson has de
cided not to leave Havana during tn
work of the commission. The work q
cataloguing military property Is Pre-
ceeding rapidly. It is expected that
will be finished Friday. The construc
tion Of the pier at Marianao has bee
Il temporarily suspended owing TO tn
VI rough weather"

CAMERA AT WEDDINGS.
The Click OF the Kodak Is Heard NOW
mt the UD-to-Date Marriage
Ceremony.

In the east the camera at wedding
is still something of a novelty, TO be
looked upon with surprise, If not with
open disapproval.
But out west nobody dreams of get
ting married without a camera; it is
regarded as indispensable, as much
part of the performance as the clergy
man. certainly as much so as the bride
groom. In these days Of rampant
amateur photography it is hardly
necessary to call in a professional
operator upon these occasions.
Some half-dozen members Of every
bridal party are sure TO be camera
flends Of the first water, and it re-
quires much diplomacy TO decide
which one shall be asked TO bring
along his or her camera. In nearly
every instance some ones feelings are
sure TO be hurt. Sometimes two
cameras are present at marriage
ceremony, but more than this is not
considered good form in the west.
In every house the photographs Of
the bridal party form a prominent
decorative feature. as is but natural
when they have been obtained under
such auspicious conditions.

BEAVER DAM, Wis. Nov. adam
Hammer, an employee of the j. s. Ro-
we'll Manufacturing company, went
cunning yesterday for human game
and as a result IL men bear wounds
from his aim, and he Is in jail with a
bullet in his shoulder.
Hammer is a young married man and
has been employed in the Rowel shops
for several years. He had long been
the butt for practical jokes, and upon
resenting one yesterday he got into a
fight with and was worsted by Wilbur
Bennett. He became very angry and
went to the Office and demanded his
pay, which he failed TO get. His wrath
increased, and he went out and rented
a shotgun, saying he was going duck
hunting
Hammer went straight back to the
shops and began shooting at every one
In sight. His first victim was Theodore
.. Rowel one Of the firm, son of J.. $.
Rowell, who received a charge Of shot
in the forehead and face. making, how
ever, only slight wounds. Soon all was
excitement.
Shot after shot was heard. and 9TH
ers began to feel the effects Of the lead.
Guns began to appear in the hands OF
others, and the city marshal also ap-
peared, but Hammer evaded capture
for over an hour AS fast as some one
would appear i'm sight he would drop
on his knee. take deliberate aim and
fire.
Finally the situation became desper-
ate, and it was decided that he must
be shot or taken into custody without
further delay. Lieutenant Arthur Tib-
bits, who has recently returned from
Porto Rico and who is an expert marks
man, was selected TO bring him down.
A 32 caliber rifle was placed In the
lieutenant's hands, and Marshal Pow
derly ordered him to shoot, but not ia
tally If he could avoid II. The bullet
lodged I'm Hammers right shoulder. and
he was seen to fail. He rolled away
from his gun. after which he was
