Have you never learned that the best
dressed women are those who wear
clothes TO match the color of their
eyes? It is a fact that this is usually
the most becoming color to every one.
A girl with gray eyes never looks SO

blue eyes appears her best in blue.

The San Francisco call., 1898-06-11

VICTORIA, June 10-Application was made this afternoon to the Span ish Government by a man claiming to be acting for a ship-owner for letters of marque" to enable his employer to fit out a ship to prey upon American shipping in the transportation of trea- sure and merchandise to and fro from the mouth of the Yukon River.
 This man. who, 1t is said claims he is acting for George c. Brown, which is undoubtedly an assumed name, walked into the Central Pacific Tele- graph office early this afternoon and asked the rate for cablegram to Ma drid. On being informed he sat down and wrote the cablegram. The message was seen by reporter of the Victoria Times.
 Who George c. Brown Is no one can discover, but many stories are afloat giving him as the charterer of several small steamships here which were in tended as passenger steamships for the Alaskan trade, but which, in conse- quence of the decline of the trade, have not been used. Collector of Customs Milne and some of the Esquimalt naval authorities here say the scheme is un- doubtedly all arranged by some rascals who have carefully planned it. The Collector says that should he discover the identity of the would-be privateer he will at once take steps to prevent her leaving this port to engage in the proposed rifing of the treasure ships. from Ottawa, he says, are to see that strict neutrality is enforced, and should he notice any suspicious change of ownership in a vessel he must notify headquarters at once and take steps to prevent the vessel from carrying con-

and provisions. They were landed yes- terday Wednesday, about fifteen miles west or Santiago, to some 800 insur- gents, who came down to the beach the main body remaining in the noun tains. The debarkation of supplies was tedious but uninterrupted
 The insurgents reported that irregu- lar engagements between their forces and the Spanish cavalry were of daily occurrence. The Cubans were hard up for supplies and ammunition and were oVerJoyed at the sight of the SuWa- nee's cargo. Some, almost ravenous hacked at the slices of bacon and ate raw beef They had been living on Times, cocoanuts and sweet potatoes Ensign Gilpin of the Suwanee went ashore and accompanied the Cubans to their temporary camp inland. where he found ten or twelve men badly in need of surgical attendance. Bandages for them were sent from the Suwanee The casualties were the results of brush on the previous night with Span iSh cavalry.
 To the correspondent of the Associ- ated Press, Ensign Gilpin. describing his experience at the camp, which is about ten miles inland, said:
 ''I found the insurgents a rough-look- ing and mixed lot of boys and old men, rigged out anyway, carrying arms of all sorts, and all anxious to borrow everything I had, from my blouse to my revolver. Four Spanish soldiers in uniform, carrying rifles, marched into the camp while I was there and said they wanted to join the insurgents. They were enrolled, but close watch was kept on them, as they belonged to the civil guard. A Cuban soldier told me such additions were not infre- quent. The Spaniards had Mauser rifles, which were in fairly good con- dition."
 Conservative authorities believe the troops will have to carry out their plan of campaign without placing much re- liance upon the insurgents. Several plucky young officers, like Ensign Gil- pin, have made trips ashore and taken observations of the interior harbor and the Notifications, locating the exact po- sition of Admiral Cervera's ships. It Is hardly likely, however, that the Spanish admiral keeps them moored at the same place both day and night

REAR ADMIRAL MILLER
 DOUBTS THE REPORT
ated the Man Who Sent the Cablegram.


 T do not believe there is the slightest idea on the part of any one to obtain letters of marque for the purpose men tioned in this dispatch" said Rear Ad- miral Miller, commander of the Pacific squadron, last evening, when shown the telegrams from Victoria The story has no doubt originated from interested motives on the part of some one. We would have the information before they could get a vessel ready
 A well-known Alaska transportation man, now in this city from Seattle, smiled upon reading the dispatch from Victoria.
 T am under the impression that 1t Is preliminary advertising story started by the North American Trading and Transportation Company" he said. Tt is on a par with its wild assertion of last summer that its treasure ship was in danger of being footed by Chinese pirates. It was on that ground the company asked the Government for an armed convoy. It was simply an ad- vertisement of the Yukon gold fields, with the view of booming the rush to the Klondike. I should not be sur prised to hear in few days that the North American Trading and Trans portation folks have again applied to the Government for a convoy. In this way the attention of the country, which has been diverted by the present un- pleasantness with Spain, will again for the time being be in a measure directed to the Klondike"

 tillery drawn from the surrounding country. During the daytime the cav
 airy skirInish in the vicinity of the city, returning at night to the bar racks. During the last few days the activity of the Spaniards has been par ticularly noticeable. Oxen trains have been making their way to the pat teries, attachments have been Worklng on endorsements and there have been other signs showing that the Spaniards are preparing a desperate resistance.
 Some guns from Admiral Cerveras ships may be moved to the forts. The insurgents, about 5000 strong, have taken a position on a mountain to the westward. Two thousand insurgents of this gathering are unarmed. General MaXimo Gomez now about 150 miles inland, is making his way toward the coast. Admiral Sampson is actively cooperating with the insurgents. Yes- terday General Miniel of the insurgent forces and his staff went on board the New York for long consultation.
 The naval officers have been doing splendid and daring work in carrying communication and arms to the insur- gents and making trips ashore for the purpose of gaining information. Upon the gunboats Suwanee and Vixen this work has chie.iy devolved Lieutenant Sharp of the Vixen and Lieutenant Commander Delhanty of the Suwa- nee have been daily entrusted with i'm mi Y1oiCCinnG hor io1 them out successfully.
