Tho Vanity of Crabs.

Many of the crab species of she'll
fish ..clothe" themselves. Some
species dress themselves deliberately
by gathering bits of sea-weed, chew
ing the ends and sticking them on
the shell, so as 70 look like a stone
covered with weed. They spend
hours with the utmost perseverance
in making these pieces adhere by
trying the same piece over and over
again till they succeed. They have
a fine sense OF symmetry, and always
put a red piece on n limb to match
the red piece they have put on the
other, and a green piece to match a
green piece, though how they know
red from green in the dark pools
where they live is hard to say. I'M
less it is by taste or smell. When
once their dress is completed it i'm
proves the older it becomes, as the.
weed actually grows on them.

SANTIAGO A FATAL MISTAKE.
A British Expert Thinks That the Span
fish Fleet Is Now at a DIsadvantage-A
Derided by Prominent Papers.

LONDON, May 33.-According to the
best expert opinion in London, if Adj
miral Cervera has gone to Santiago de
Cuba, he has made n fatal mistake.
Vice Admiral Philip Howard
Columb, retired, the author Of a
number of naval works, in
Gliding 1.-THE Naval Wan Came"
writes that he is convinced the Span
ish admiral is now unlikely to strike
at all. He adds that il he enters a
South Cuban port it will scarcely affect
the United States blockade, for Rear
Admiral Sampson will only have to de-
tach a somewhat superior force of his
heavier ships to cover Cervcra's fleet,
while a group of the lightest and
swiftest vessels would be watching to
see that he did not move without being
reported, and all the rest of Rear Adj
miral SIMPSONS fleet could devote
themselves TO the blockade of the other
Cuban ports.

French disposition toward America.
The Gaulois, for example, eXtols the
cleverness with which Admiral Samp-
son has Unanswered, taking advantage
of his opponents slowness to effect a
junction with Schley and thus enable
him to divide the forces in two parts.
NJ. Jaures, in the Petite Republique,
writes in the same strain of Americas
admirable attack and defense, which
have been directed with energy and
life"
NJ. Jaures derides Spain for allowing
herself to be made the sport OF clerical
ism and militarism.
There is also a strong article in the
Echo de Paris, signed Henry Baure,
calling French hostility to her ancient
friends and clients beyond the Atlantic
foolish and illogical.
France" the writer says, sis nat
urally drawn to America as a republic,
and should not give way to sudden ten
derness for Spain"
On the other hand, Henry Fouquier,
in the Dixneuvieme Steele, writes in u
vein hardly short of insulting to Amer
lean women for their alleged snobbish-
ness in seeking to make out a long line
of ariStocratic ancestors.

ENEMY'S LOSS AT CkRDENAS.
Two Spanish Gunboats Destroyed by Shells

KEY WEST, Fla, May 23.-The tug
Lcyden, Ensign w. S. Crossley, COM
mander, which picked up off Cay Pie
dras light Wednesday night an open
BOAT containing five Cubans, n of
whom, Ernest Castro, had important
dispatches from General Gomez to Cen
cral Miles, put the other o ashore at
the east end of Cay Blanco last night.
Castro proceeded to Tampa to deliver
his messages.
The Cubans put ashore had given the
officers of the tug considerable infor-
nation regarding the situation in Car
denas, where they lived, since the bat
tie in which the torpedo boat Winslow
was disabled and the first American
officer and sailors lost their lives. The
Spaniards' loss in the battle, the Gu
bans said, was one officer killed and
five men wounded. The officers head
was blown off. AS the result of the
battle there are no longer any Span
ish gunboats in the harbor OF Car
denas. Two of those that were there
were destroyed by the shells from the
Wilmington, and from the third one
the guns have been removed and re-
mounted on the dock behind a stone
wall built to protect them. The Span
iards, the Cubans said, have sunk
three lighters in the passage where the
Winslow went through the day Of the
battle.
The Leyden landed insurgents again
last night without any molcstation
from shore. When picked up by the
Leyden, the Cubans had been out SIX
days waiting to be picked up and were
nearly exhausted while their boat was
all but ready to swamp.

CoRRUNNA, Spain, May 23.-The
Spanish auxiliary cruiser Montserrat
arrived here unexpectedly last evening
from Cienfuegos, having escaped the
American blockading ships. Large
crowds of people thronged the
quays and members of the crew
received an ovation when they went
ashore. The people embraced the cap
tain and officers of the steamer. Pop
ular demonstrations followed through
out the city. The commander of the
Montserrat declared that he was not
charged with any mission and said he
was not carrying dispatches, but the
Spaniards claim that he is periodically
c~oncealing the facts in the case.
The Montserrat is to be sent to Fer
rol or Cadiz in order to have her guns
mounted.
MADRID, May 23.-It is asserted here
that the Montserrat landed $4,000, 600,
LOCO soldiers, 100 guns, $4,000 rifles
and a quantity of ammunition in Cuba.
