Significance of the Nose.

Tho nose, tho form of which regulates
the beauty Of the other features, is by
no means inaccessible to higher culture,
for wo havo it on tho authority Of q
German physician that it is beyond dis
pute that during half of an individual
human life the nose is capable of re-
ceiving moro noble form. The train
ing of tho individual, the culture of his
intellect and character has very con-
siderable influence not only on tho ex-
preston Of the face in general, but also
Oh tho bodily nature of the nose. The
characteristics Of the various shapes Of
nose, according to physiognomy, are as
follows: The small, flat nose found
among women and called the soubrette
nose, when occurring with an other
wise agreeable and fortunate build of
features, indicates certain gracious
and cheerful naivete combined with an
inconsiderate curiosity. Such a nose
seldom is possessed by men, and when
it is it denotes an individuality char
acterized by weakness and deficient sa-
gacity. A nose thick and fiat is All I'M
favorable feature with men as we'll as
with women, usually signifying that
tho character is predominated by mate
rial and sensual instincts, while turn
cd up nose, with wide nostrils, bespeaEs
j. vain, pulled up disposition. Especial
ly wide nostrils arc signs of strength
courage and pride; small nostrils, of
weakness and timidity. Noses large in
every respect are found mostly among
men and arc masculine attributes.

OAMARA's FLEET FOR OARTAGENA,
Eleven of the Sixteen Vessels Said to Be
Bound For That Port.

New York. June 20-The Gibraltar
correspondent Of The Herald cables the
following:
l have obtained from an absolutely re-
liable source the following information
respecting the movement of Admiral
Camara's squadron: The Cadlz fleet
sailed thence at 5 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon in an easterly direction. 1t is
composed of the Pelayo, Carlos V, Ra-
pido, Patricia, Audaz, Osado, Proser-
pima, Colon, Alfonso XII, Giralda. Pie
lago, Covadega, Antonio Lopez, 1sla de
Panay, Buenos Aires and San Fran
cisco. The minister Of marine is aboard
the Pielago.
The first II of the foregoing passed
here at 5 o'clock this morning and are
going to Cartagena for orders 1t is
not known where the other five are.
All the auxiliary cruisers except the
Rapido, Patricia and Buenos Aires have
had their guns removed and their ma
val crews replaced by former merchant
service officers and crews. The Antonio
Lopez is loaded entirely with ammuni-
ton. The Buenos Aires has a regiment
of infantry aboard and the Isla de Pa
nay another. The San Francisco has
regiment of marines. The other aux
iliary cruisers carry 10000 tons of coal
and abundant provisions.
The steamer San Augustin has been
released. She sailed hence at midday,
for Cadiz ostensibly. The Spanish gov
eminent guaranteed that her coal was
for comm ercial purposes only. The AL
fonso XIII and Vitoria remain at Cadiz
as guardships. Neither is formidable.
Both are defective.
1t is reported from Cadiz that more
German ships have been purchased by
the government and are to join the fleet
elsewhere.

NEWS VIA MADRID.
Report That Captain General Anguish
Has Resigned Military leadership.

Madrid, June 20.-It is confidently be-
lieved here that Admiral Camara's fleet
is going to Manila and that this may
prevent the dispatch of American troops
there and at least postpone the loss Of
the Philippine islands.
1t Is said here that Captain General
Augusti has resigned the military lead
ership at Manila to the Spanish general
commanding there so that the capitu-
lation of that place may be signed by
the latter and thus have less impor-
lance in the eyes of the natives than If
signed by the captain general Of the
Philippine islands.
been sighted Off Gibraltar has caused a
feeling of great satisfaction here.
Advices from Cuba say General Lin
ares Is confident the rainy season will
handicap the Americans, and he ex-
presses the belief that the latter will
unite with the Cubans and march along
the base of the mountains where there
are roads leading to Santiago de Cuba,
while the American fleet will attack the
-fortifcatipns at the entrance of the bay.
According to private kilograms re-
ceived here from Cuba yellow fever Ia
raging among the American marines
encamped near the entrance to Guam
tanamo bay, and several cases of the
disease are reported to have occurred
on the ships Of the squadron. The tele-
gram describes the heat as terrible, and
say the swampy condition of the ground
has prevented thus far the carrying en-
of military operations in the vicinity Of
Santiago.
In the senate the Marquis Cardira de-
nounced the american breaches of in
ternational law" In the chamber Of
deputies Senior Salmeron, the Republican
leader, asked the government to insti-
tute an inquiry in order to<a ore posi-
lively contradict the report that the
bodies of American marines Killed at
Guantanamo had been mutilated by the
Spanish troops. The minister of the
interior Senior Capdepon, replied that
the reports We're base cdlumnies and
that an inquiry was unnecessary.
Senior Salmeron gave notice that he
would ipterpellate the government con-
corning the expulsion from Canada of
Lieutenant Carran2a, late Spanish ma
val attache in Washington, and Senior
du Bose, former Spanish charge DAT
flares at Washington, and requested
that the documents relating thereto be
given to the chamber.

Chartering More TRANSPORTS,

Washington, June 20.-Assistant Sec
rotary Meiklejohn has made arrange
ments for the charter of another trans
port for the troops to the Philippines
This is the Valencia of the Pacific
Whaling company, which is now at San
Francisco, and will accommodate 600
men. The other transports now on the
coast ready for service, the Ohio, Indi-
ana, Morgan City and City of Para,
swell the total to five which will consti-
tute part Of the third expedition to
the islands.
No progress has been made by the de-
partment in securing transports for the
Porto Rican expedition. The few now
on hand are entirely inadequate for the
needs of the invading Sny, and 20 or 80
more Will have to be obtained. Owners
of large number of ships of British
registry have offered their vessels to
the department, and these are being In
spected with view to their possible
acquisition.

Operations Mt Guantanamo.

Mole St. Nicholas, June 20.-News
from Guantanamo bay shows that ma
val operations there continue most ac-
tive and with the advantage on the side
of the Americans. Friday morning at
$3.50 O'Clock the American vessels re-
snmed the bombardment of Guanta-
namo town, and in the course Of one
aud half hours threw into it rs shells,
great majority Of which appeared to
have been effective. Six of these shells
were ID inch projectiles, eight 8 inch
and the rest smaller. The men in the
tops could see many Of the shells strike
| in the very midst Of the town, while
others fell among the shipping and COM
mercial buildings near the waters edge.
Smoke arose in dense clouds from the
places where the shells fell, and 1t Is be-
lieVed that the damage both by the i'm
pact of the missiles and consequent con-
hagration Is very great.
On Thursday evening the ships had
thrown tour 10 inch and nine inch
shells into the town. This bombardment
began at four O'Clock and ended at five.
Much smoke and confusion were dis
cerned in Guantanamo during its prog
ress. Crowds Of people and troops Of
soldiers were seen moving about ana

their anchorage. On Wednesday night
the Texas penetrated into the bay of
Santiago, passed Moro castle and
poured a we'll directed fire upon that
stronghold and the castle Zocopa. This
battle began about II o'clock and end
ed about midnight. There was very
little response from the Spaniards, and
such as there was did hardly any dam
age Nobody was killed in any Of these
actions on the American ships.
