ABOUT BEING GRACEFUL.

Trifies continually give us away. The
things we do with intention we may do
we'll, but the involuntary acts betray
our limitations. A perfectly graceful
woman is graceful in every move-in
the poise of her head, in her walk, the
way she sits and uses her hands.
As to sitting, some women fall into
their chairs, like badly jointed and
springless dolls. A sensitive. graceful
woman sits gently, unbending with a
smooth motion until she has settled
safely. She can also get up from her
chair and reach the door without In
dulging in any Of the jerky and awk-
ward mistakes some women make.
III there is turn in the walk stop
with all the weight on the foot in adj
vance. resting only the toe Of the rear
foot on the ground, then turn smoothly
around by transferring the weight TO
the other foot, making the turn entirely
upon the balls of the feet, with the
heels scarcely touching the floor. This
turn is rarely seen practiced, yet it is
very easy and few minutes work al
it will render one expert.
In getting up from chair 90 WON
en- out Of 100 shift their weight from one
foot to the other and rise with tbs
weight on the wrong foot. The proper
way is to rest the weight on one foo
while sitting, holding the other lightly
on the floor. Then press down hare
on the foot which already bears tn,
weight and rise, standing for an instan
on the same foot to get the balance be
fore starting or freely and lightly.

here last week, What objections have
the Republicans to the laws passed by
the last Legislature, and what policy are
they going to pursue If elected?" A
committee should be appointed to try
to get Stanley to commit himself and
his party on the stock yards law, the
school book law and the policy to be
pursued In dealing with insurance COM
panies and other corporations.
Beloit Call: Frank Nelson, the Re-
publican nominee for State Superintend-
ent, does not even hold a third grade
teachers certificate. He never taught
a day in the public schools of the State.
For two years he was a teacher of elo-
cutlon at Lindsborg College, when the
board dispensed with his services, since
which time he has been editing a paper
in Mcpherson county. At the beginning
Of the war with Spain Nelson gave utter
anCe to the following statement: This
is going to be a glorious war and a glo-

Centrated bigotry be placed at the head

WITH THE DIPLOMATS.
Only One Dispatch Received Regarding
Eombardmento of San juan.


Washin gton,5Afay l3.-One of the en-
bassies receiveda a despatch today trom one
of its consuls in the West Indies, an
nouncing briefly that Admiral Sampson
had bombarded San Juan. 1t gave no
details beyond those contained in the ad-
niral's despatch to Secretary Long. This
was the only dispatch reaching any of
the foreign establishments here. 1t was
stated that Germany and other European
powers were reported in Porto Rican
waters by several warshhps which are
counted on to afford all necessary protec-
ton to the citizens Of those countries
German officials say the reports emanat-
ing from London as to Ger3lany's pur-
pose to intervene in the Philippine is
lands is not worthy of attention.
The French embassy has given to che
state department copy of the French
decree Of neutrality. 1t is of special in
terest now in view of the presence of the
Spanish squadron near the French West
Indies. The decree permits prizes to bo
taken to French ports for "A hours, which
privilege is not allowed by Great Britain
and some other nations. Tho French en-
hassy has received no word from the
French officials at Martinique. The naval
attaches of the several embassies and
legations look forward to the battle be,
tween Admiral Sampson's squadron ana
the Spanish squadron as likely to be the
greatest of modern time
The Portland daily press., 1898-05-14

TO the admiral's report this has been prac.
tict,glv accomplished. 1t was neither nec-
essarys nor material that San Juan itself
DO occupied, all that was essential being
that the Spanish feet find no more pfotee-
tion there than 1t would in any harbor
without substantial defenses and If tho
flying squadron should have the temerity
now to enter San Juan harbor, its vessels
will fall easy victims to Simpsons bat
tleships and monitors. 1t is little sim
gular that today, just after the vessel had
been nearly destroyed battling for the
United States, the government should
finally accept the torpedo boat Winslow,
but that is what took place.
The boat has never had her final trial,
and it is not to be supposed that the de-
partment will insist upon 1t, under exist.
ing conditions. Word came to the depart
ment during the afternoon that the in
juries sustained by the Winslow were of
such nature that they could be repaired
at the Key West naval station and from
this, although no details were given, the
department officials inferred that the
damage was not extensive.
Capt. O'Neil, chief of the bureau of or
dinance, was with Secretary Long several
times during the day, giving him infor-
nation as to the amount of ammunition
Admiral Sampson has on board. 1t is
the opinion Of the bureau officials that
the bombardment Of San Juan did not
materially deplete Simpsons stock OF
powder, shot and shells. There is no
doubt, however, that it made consider
able inroad upon it, as it is said that
continuous fire for three hours that the
ships were in action, would have COM
pletely exhausted the entire stock. Theirs
is no possibility, however, of such con-
tinuous fire. and the officials feel satisfied
that Sampson has at least half Of his
ammunition and perhaps more still on
board. Every ship in his feet was stocked
to its fullest capacity with powder, shot
and shell. The division which shelleti San
Juan had 60 rounds of the large size pro-
jectiles for the 10 and 10 inch guns, and
about 500 rounds for tho five and six-inch
guns. In case thu fleet should require
additional ammunition it would have to
be sent from Key West, where the navy
department has large stock in reserve.
Thus far, however, there has been no
thought of drawing on the reserve stock.

R0WAN'S. REPORT.
Officer Returns From Visit 70
Gareia's Camp.

Key West, May Is Lieut. Andrew S.
Rowan of the 18th U. S. infantry srrived
here today from Cubs. bearing important
dispatches from Gen. Calixtc Garcia,
commander of the department. of the east,
of the iasnrgent army, for Gen. Miles or
Gen. Shafterg comnanding the army of
invasion.
Lieut. Rowan, with d number Of guides,
left Jamaica on April 23, TO carry in
formation and TO confer with Gen. Garcia
He and his companions crossed TO Cnha
in an open sailboat arriving after 60
hours and landing Oh the coast near Pico
Oio del Toro. province Of Santiago de
Cuba and little west of The city of that
name. They marched through swamps
and underhrush to the mountains
where horses were obtained and
thence proceeded to Rayano. a1riv-
ing at that place five days inter4 17hey
found Gen. Garcia quartered there with
guard of several hundred troops, with
headquarters in the principal house on
the main street of the city which has been
abandoned shortly before by tEs Span
iards.
AlSuts hOWdIL +luuS
| with the insurgent general who told him
that there were 15,0u0 troops in his COM
mand, scattered through the island. The
troops were, Gen. Garcia informed him,
well supplied with arms, but lacked am
munition. About 5000 were the following
body of spanish soldiers down TO the
Ceuta river. Gen. Garcia expressed his
joy at the Intervention OF the United
States and asked Lieut.. Rowan to sug-
gest how the Cubans could cooperate
with the Americans. Lieut.. Rowan told
him that their services would be invalu-
able alone for their great knowledge of
the topographylof,k she island.
When Lieut.. Rowan left the camp he
was accompanied by Gen. Henry Colazo
and Chief OF Staff Col. Hernandez. They
struck across country and came out on
the north coast near Manaton on May
2. Throughout the journey across the Is
land which was made at its widest part,
Lieut. Rowan and his companions did
not encounter one Spanish soldier. They
took small sailing vessel and put out
for Nassau. There were six men OH board
and the journey occupied six days. An
awning and hammock were used for
sails ana they suffered much hardship.
At Nassau the British schooner Fearless
was taken and the party was joined by
five Americans. They reached here today
as before stated.
Lieut. Rowan will leave tonight for
Tampa to hand his dispatches to the army
commander. This substance of these des-
patches are of course kept secret.
