Sensational Stories of Disaster Con-
demened.
WASHINGTON CITY, Nay 5.-Navy
Department officials are highly indig-
nant at the San Francisco stories CON
cerning the terrible loss of life OF
sailors on board the American war
ships at Manila. The officials say the
dispatches were cruel and senseIess
and inflicted great misery on the
wives, mothers and daughters and rel
atives of the brave sailors of the fleet.
The officials have about concluded
there is little prospect of receiving
news from Dewey directly today. They
figure that presuming the dispatch
boat sailed at the earliest moment
after bombardment Monday evening
and allowing three days for the pass
age the ship is not due at Hongkong
or Mrs Bay until tonight. 1t is al
ready tonight by our time in either
place and possibly the Mccullough or
some dispatch boat is just entering
the harbor. Other delays would occur
before the receipt of a cable here,
through many relay stations, so it is
thought there is little chance of Off
cial news coming in during daylight
hours.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The
House Committee on Foreign At
fairs met today and considered
various bills and resolutions re-
lating to annexation of Hawaii.
There was a strong majority faE-
Orable to annexation, but the
meeting adjourned without def
mite action. The question will be
considered again next Tuesday.
1t is said the Administration is
pressing for early action. 1t is
understood that if there should be
a report from committee in favor of
annexation the Speaker will not
interpose any objections.

Dewex,s Possible Fix.

CHICAGO, May 5.-A special to the
Journal from Washington says the
fear that Dewey may be bottled up in
Manila harbor is gaining ground. 1t
is recoIIected that the entrance to Ma
Mia harbor is through a channel plant
ed with mines. Dewey passed these in
the night and no opportunity was
given the Spaniards to fire them. Now
if he has not forced a surrender of the
city and gained control of the switch

No Confirmation.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 5.-No
confirmation is obtainable of the vari-
Gus reports concerning the movements
of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet. Persons
supposed to share the confidence of the
Administration declare that Admiral
Sampson has gone to seize Porto Rico,
while others, with equal positiveness,
say the fleet has gone to meet the Ore
gon and escort her north. Still an
other report is to the effect that Samp-
son has gone to seize Matanzas, to use
it as base of operations. The officials
absolutely refuse to make public the
plans of the startegy board.

very often taken in her bedroom is soon
finished and then she is free to plan and

1t is to breakfast that intimate friends are
invited, dinner being reserved for more
formal guests.
This breakfast consists of several courses

flowers to choose for fete.

out of a bandbox. She is a wonder in short,
but l did not know all her possibilities till

was just emerging from her own front door,
and she was immaculate in the dazzle of
white pique. Her hat was pinned at the eX-

adjusted white VEIL Her hands were in
white castor gloves and every button was

and dropped a letter into the letter box.
Then she turned and walked home again.
She mounted the steps, the door closed after
her, and she did not come out again. She

to walk half block and post a letter.
