phe other canvases that are now on view
at .Ffschers are the head by Chardinal,
with its subtle charm of color, and the
more vigorously painted head by Pourbus.
The unique setting In which the latter is
to be seen adds to the artistic effect, though
the fine qualities of color and tone do not
need such foil to gain appreciation.

Miss Cornelia Stone. daughter of the late
Congressman Stone, recently paid the city
short visit to renew the friendships which
she enjoyed when she was a member of the
art fraternity here. For some time she has
been working in Georgia. where she has
found many good landscape motives, and
where she has made many artistic studies
of the native flora.

The likeness of Mr.. J. G. Seckendorff
which Prince Troubetzkoy has just finish
ed and placed on view at Fischer's, is, in
many respects, notable portrait Like
the portrait by Sargent, which some one
aptly called "a challenge from the WALL"
it insists on your attention In the most
forcible and peremptory way, as though de-
Tying you to pass 1t by unnoticed This is
partly due to the vigorous. iifelike way in
which the head Is painted, and partly to
the alert attitude which the artist has
chosen. He has represented Mr. Secken-
dorn as leaning forv ard in his chair, with
his arms resting on his knees, and the hat
and cane which he holds in his hands
make the pose seem very natural. The at
titude Is not one Of dignity and repose, but
rather of animation. and the intent, ques-
ticning gaze of the eyes heightens this ef-
feet. The flesh tints are well rendered. and
there is pleasing harmony of color
throughout the canvas, noticeable, for ex-
ample, in the delicate contrast between the
rather neutral coiors Of the chair and the
background

Mr.. Franklin Simmons. the sculptor of
the Logan monument. which is to be erect
ed in Iowa circle, left the city this week,
and after short visits In Boston and some
other cities will return to his studio in
Rome to complete the equestrian figure of
Gen. Logan. Mr.. Simmons came to Wash
lrston several weeks ago to superintend
the erection of the massive bronze pedes-
tal and everything is now ready for the
me united figure. which will be finished
within year and u half. The pedestal.
which is entirely of bronze and is richly
oInamented with sculpture, is unique in
this country, and has consequently aroused
much interest and attracted many visitors

Miss Juliet Thompson has recently COM
pleted two portraits in pastel one a we'll
NC deled head of Master Fred Stevens, and
the other likeness of Mrs. George C. Fra
ser. In the latter portrait the artist has
done some of her best work, and under the
inspiration of an unusually good subject
has made an extremely artistic pastel The
background ana the dress which Mrs. Fra
ser wears are both light in color, and the
read, with its mass of dark hair, is brought
out the more strongly by the quiet sur
roUndings.

told of the reasons which led Cervera to
Santiago, and of the way in which he
was hemmed in. 1t is now known that
when the Spanish admiral sailed for the
West Indies he expected to enter San
Juan de Porto Rico for coal and sup
plies. On touching at Curacao for
news, his plans were upset by the re-
ceipt of dispatches telling him that
Rear Admiral Sampson had lombard
ed the San Juan Notifications, and
was still in the neighborhood of Porto
Rico. ThereuDon Cervera sailed for
the south coast of Cuba. Why he en-
tered Santiago harbOr instead of the
harbor of Cienfuegos is not known, but
the American commanders were in
clined to think the Spaniards would go
to the latter port.
1t is certain that Cervera could not
have escaped from Santiago without
being discovered, for the American
scouts had been Drowling about the
pert for ten days, and other scouts had
not been far away. Practically Santiago
has been blOckaded that length of time.
Cervera's coal ship, which followed him
from Curacao TO Santiago, was cap
tuTed last Wednesday. and at the very
moment when the queen regent was
cabling her congratulations the coils
were Tightening about him.
The belief here is that all other
movements in the West Indies viii be
held in allegiance until the Spanish
squadron is disposed of. In case San
tiago is attacked, the news of the
battle will be sent from Mole st. Nicho-
las and Kingston. and the prisoners
and wounded will be sent to Key West

RUMORS AT TAMPA.
Impression Prevails That the End Is
Not Far Off.

Tampa, Fla, May 30.-The impress
sion prevailed around headquarters to-
day that the erd is now not far off, and
that definite orders for breaking camp
and getting on board the transports in
waiting will soon be given. All kinds
of rumors were afloat. 1t was reported
on what appeared TO be good authority
that orders for embarkation had actu-
ally been received from Washington
and that several of Admiral SIMPSONS
ships were on their way from Cuban
waters to act as conveys for the trans
ports on their journey south. This was
denied at headquarters. Nevertheless,
reports that the date for the embarka
ton had definitely been decided on,
and that it was in the near future,
came from so many different sources
that in spite of official denials il found
many believers. II any such orders
were received, however, there were car
tainly no indications of them at the
docks at Port Tampa, where scarcely
dozen negro laborers were lazily en-
gagged III cleaning up the rubbish left
by the carpenters. No loading of sup
plies of any kind was done during the
day, and even the fires in many of the
transports had apparently been drawn.
A special train with PIC members of
the Chicago naval reserves, in COM
mand of Lieutenant Prity and Ensigns
Hunt and Hewitt, arrived at Port
Tampa today. They will go to Key
West tomorrow. Decoration day was

EXCITEMENT AT CHICKAMAUGA
Eight Regiments of Volunteers Or
dered to Tampa.

Chickamauga National Park, Ga,
May 3O--The greatest excitement pre-
vailed in Camp Thomas today over the
rumor that general order has been
issued to all troops in camp here to
proceed at once to Tampa Every man
seemed to be glad. and there was a
general hustling about in the various
camps, each man acting as though he
expected to be ordered to pack his
traps on the instant, to be ready to
move to the front.
The rumor, when traced to its source
by the Associated Press. proved to be
only partly true, only eight regiments
being affected by an order from the
war department, as follows:
First Ohio One Hundred and Fifty
Seventh Indiana, Third Pennsylvania
and First Illinois, to be commanded by
Brigadier General Simon Snyder; Sec
ond New York, SiXty-ninth New York.
Fifth Maryland and First District of
Columbia, under command of Brigadier
General Lewis II. Carpenter
These regiments are ordered to pro-
coed at once to Tampa, and the work
of preparation began tonight. 1t is I'M
derstood that four of the regiments will
leave tomorrow and the other four on
Wednesday.
The regiments ordered out are re-
garded as the best equipped and most
thoroughly prepared or any in the
camp. This order is regarded by the
officers and men as an indication that
a speedy forward movement is to be
made on Cuba and Porto Rico, and as
a consequence, there was as great re-
joicing among the volunteer soldier
boys as there was among the regulars
when they went TO Tampa under the
impression that they were going at
once to Cuba.
With those regiments that arrived to-
day the troops at the park number
$4,000. The regiments ordered away
number 5000.
The First Michigan infantry arrived
today. It comprises u companies, ,021
officers and men, in command of Colo
mel L. H. Kendall. The Second Arkan-
sas arrived this afternoon. 1t is COM
posed of Il companies, 1922 officers and
men, commanded by Colonel Virgil Y
Cook. The Fifty-second Iowa arrived
this morning. Tie regiment is COM
posed of 900 officers and men and is
commanded by Colonel William B.
Humphrey. All the men were uniformed
but only partly armed.
Troops F and L of Grigsby's cow
boys, arrived this morning, 1863 men
and 164 horses, commanded by Major
James H. Montieth, completing the full
complement of the Third United States
Independent cavalry.

pany the expedition from Tampa and

Mole st. Nicholas, Hayti, May 3d.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived here from the correspondent of
the Associated Press, with the Ameri-
can fleet off Santiago de Cuba:
of Santiago de Cuba, May 29.-Com-
modore Schley and the flying squadron
have the Spanish fleet bottled up in the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba BY the
most clever maneuvering the commo-
dore allowed the Spaniards to think he
had left in disgust. They took the bait
and ran into the harbor. Commodore
Schley moved down this morning, and
at o'clock, going close to the harbor.
he saw the Cristobal Colon, the Maria
Teresa and the two torpedo boats. He
believes the entire fleet is there.
Commodore Schley has acted upon his
own information and judgment for the
past six days, and believes the whole
Spanish fleet is there. He sat on the
after triangle Of the Brooklyn this
morning until after the discovery of
the fleet, and he then went to break
fast, saying:
Il have got them, and they will never
get home"
The United States auxiliary cruiser
St Paul arrived here this morning, and
was sent to the Mole st. Nicholas with
dispatches. She captured a coal ship.
which was sent to Key West by Cap
tain Sigsbee, in charge of a prize crew.
The coal was undoubtedly intended for
the Spanish fleet. 1t is believed there is
not much coal at Santiago de Cuba
The officers and men of the flying
squadron are jubilant over the fact
that the location of the Spanish fleet
has finally been definitely established.
The temperature here is ITO degrees
in the shade, and in the steel turrets the
heat is actually beyond the power of
Imagination. The American ships here
are the Brooklyn, Texas, Massa-
chusetts, Iowa, Marblehead and Vixen,
an auxiliary torpedo gunboat.

Resurrection Ship" says:
THE Numancia is here. her bulwarks

HER LAST CRUISE.
Spanish Destroyer viii Be Bottled Up
at San Juan.

Washington, May SO.-The navy depart
ment has taken note of the reported ar
rival of the torpedo boat destroyer Terror
at San Juan. They say she has made her
last cruise under the Spanish flag from
which it is inferred that one of the
American cruisers is already on her way
to bottle her up in San Juan harbor.
1t is believed that Sampson, confident
of Schley's ability to hold the Spaniards
in Santiago harbor. is now rapidly pre-
the starting of which cannot be deferred
much longer. Sampson has reinforced
Schley's feet with some of the best IRON
clads, the Iowa, for instance, so that
there is no question of his overwhelming
the Spaniards in point of force.
The Cienfuegos blockade. which was not
abandoned but was temporarily weak
ened to ensure the safety of some Of the
blockading vessels from attack by the
Spanish flying squadron, will now be re-
established in all of it's old rigor.
