Five miles from Cucamonga, Cal,
lives a woman who is carpenter and
paper hanger. She is Mrs. Minnie
Warner Ewing, formerly of ST. Louis,
a society belle and Nassar grad
uate. Her husband held good posi-
ton, but consumption compelled him
to seek relief in California, and, with
$4,000 capital, the Ewings went west.
This money was soon expended, and the
wife found herself compelled to take
care of sick husband and make a
living at the same time. Mrs. Ewing
preempted tract of government land,
five miles from Cucamonga, in San
Bernadino county. In few hours she
had made formal entry for a quarter
section, and the next day the founda-
ton of her new home was laid. Early
in the morning Mrs. Ewing and car
penter drove to her claim in a lumber
wagon. BY eight o'clock she had
marked out the plan for a two-story
frame structure. Then. while the car
penter started building, she carted the
lumber from Cucamonga. This done
she then became the carpenters as
sistant.

WISE PARROT.
In Captivity, Yet II Lays Eggs Only

In lronton, o., Mr.. w. FL. Horton,

SCISSOR of parrot that lays eggs in cap

markable, as these tropical beauties get

But this bird did more. A year ago she
laid an egg on Good Friday and another
on Easter Sunday. That was all. This
year, remembering the day and date,
she did the same thing. just how she
kept track without an almanac is the
wonder. She will be watched next year,

A WEEKS DELAY.
1t Has Been Determined Upon in Cuban
Invasion.

Ii Has Been Determined Upon in Cuban
Invasion.
WASHINGTON, May s.-President Me-
Kinley has decided to put off the in
vasion of Cuba for at least week.
The plans for the movement by the
joint forces of the army and navy
against Havana have been again
changed.
1t is understood that the primary
cause is the uncertainty in regard to
the movements of the Spanish fleet.
The blockading squadron has been
greatly weakened by the departure of
the vessels with Admiral Sampson,
and although there are still about
forty-fiv American ships in the neigh
borhood of Cuba. the return of Admiral
Sampson with the rest of the fleet will
be awaited before attacking the city.
Several important changes will also
be made in the army now gathered in
the vicinity of Tampa before the in
vasion of Cuban territory. The war de-
partment wants to feel confident that
the troops will be able to defeat the
Spaniards in one quick and decisive
battle.
A long consultation was held today
by the leaders of both the army and
navy, and | am told that the exact plan
of campaign was finally decided upon.
Gen. Shsfte Col. w. II. Lawton and
Capt. Dorst also held conference yes
terday at Tampa, when the entire
Cuban situation was carefully gone
over and the plans for landing the
troops decided upon.
Capt. Dorst went into the interior of
Cuba and has made definite arrange
ments with Gen. Gomez for the cooper
alton of the United States and Cuban
land forces.
There is a strong proba bility that the
invading army will be in two divisions.
Gen. Lee will undoubtedly command
one of these divisions, and either Gen.
Coppinger or Gen. Wade the other. The
entire army will be under the COM
mand of Mai. Gen. Shafter

these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at 9.20 a. m, arriving at Colorado

rect connection for Denver, arriving at II. 30
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between St. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 245 p. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at els.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un.
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending

SAMPSON WAITING.
Washington Advised Only of His Presence
ON Haytl.


ON HaytL
WASHINGTON, May S.-Cable advices
received from Rear Admiral SAMPSON
announcing his arrival off the coast of
Hayti yesterday, with division of his
fleet. lie will remain at the point
where he is now located until the de-
partment or one of the scouts informs
him of the appearance of the Spanish
men-of-war which sailed from st. Vim
cent nine days ago.
Although press reports have been
published announcing that the Spanish
fleet has arrived at San Juan and off
Martinique. the department has heard
nothing from the American liners act
ing as scouts confirming such reports,
and the consular officers of this govern
ment in the West Indies are silent.
The officers are under instructions to
report to the department of State any
reliable information of the presence of
any Spanish men-of-war.
The naval board has estimated that
the Spanish squadron should be at or
near Porto Rico by this time, and it is
in the hope of bottling up the feet in
the harbor of San Juan that the men
of-war of the North Atlantic squadron
are lowering within short distance of
Porto Rico.
Some apprehension exists in naval
circles at the possibility that the Span
ish vessels may have passed the Ameri-
can scouts at night or in misty weather,
in which event, of course, it will be
more difficult to find them.
Rear Admiral Sampson has with him
a force which, the authorities believe,
will easily be able to destroy the Span
ish force, even should it be reinforced
by the armored cruiser Carlos V,
which has not been heard from for
some time.
Should the Spanish feet not make its
appearance in West Indian waters by
tomorrow night or Tuesday, the author
tiles will turn their attention to the
battleship Oregon and her consorts, the
gunboat Marietta and cruiser Nicthe-
roy, whose safety will then become
matter of anxiety.
