Coaling at Port Said

LONDON, June 2s.-The reports coming
from America that the United States has
requested Great Britain to enforce the
neutrality laws by forbidding Admiral
Camara's squadron to coal at Port Said
are unfounded. The United States Am
bassador Col. John Hay, has received no
instructions on this subject and 1t is be-
leved in government circles that the
United States is not anxious to have Ad-
miral Camara detained. 1t is surmised
that the United States Consul at Port Said
acted on his own initiative in protesting
against the coaling of the Spanish fleet.
1t is pointed out that if the Spaniards are
denied admission to the Canal a prcco-
dent will be established which will prevent
the United States from using the canal in
the event of that country desiring to send
warships to the Far East during the war.

There is no high ground in the present
position where Hotchkiss or gatllng guns
could be put in position, but a little farther
on is ground where guns can be mounted
and from which an effective fire can be
directed at the Spanish entertainments.
There were no alarms last night. Many of
our officers are amazed, as they have looked
for a resistance to our advance. The ground
over which they have travelled could have
easily been defended, but the Spanish have
steadily retired, not even attempting to
harass our TANKS, as the columns moved
on through natural ambuscading coun-
try. Apparently General Linares prefers
to place faith in the defenses of the city
and intends to make last ditch fight" of
it. A few-though only few-hold to the

ter, which could easily be made by any

ton was square of heavy pasteboard
covered with a cotton fabric showing
design of scarlet peoples and green

or china corners are used, were corner
pieces Of scarlet satin, the color Of the

material that. kept the satin perfect

extend two thirds Of the distance to

paper was cut off in slanting direc-
| ton, and through two slits in the paper
was passed bit Of poppy colored satin
| ribbon. the width next to that known
as ''baby ribbon" and tied in bow.
The back of the pasteboard was COW
cred with plain scarlet sateen. The
| colors could be varied to suit the room

makers time and skill permitted, very
dainty ones could be prepared of the
art linens, embroidered diagonally
