ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT DAUNT- LESS, off Santiago de Cuba, Sunday June 19 (via Kingston, Jamaica, June 2O.)-The Cubans are extremely active; a cordon has been drawn around San tiago de Cuba General Garcia, with 4OOO troops, coming by forced marches from Banes, is now heading for Santi- ago. His troops are within forty miles of the city. He left 5000 men at Hol- guin, to prevent the Spaniards there effecting a juncture with General Toral at Santiago. The Spanish troops at Guantanamo, under General Masso, are cut off from General Toral and are badly pinched for food. They wildly appealed for provisions and re-enforce- nents, but the only reply they got was that both were impossible. General Masso said his men were even then on half rations, and the supply was suf- ffcient to last only during the present month.
 General Garcia and his personal staff were picked up at General Rabfs camp, eighteen miles west of Santiago, and brought to the flagship this after noon by the Vixen. There the grizzled and wounded patriot had a long con- sultation with Admiral Sampson re- garding the operations for the invest ment of Santiago and the cooperation of the American and Cuban troops
 General Garcia is very enthusiastic. He says the Spaniards are starving and cannot hold out long and that the war should end in a few months
 rT,r-o of trOonS will he landed at Guantanamo Bay, which will be held as a base until Santiago falls.
 There have been no signs of Spanish troops in the neighborhood of Camp McCalIa for several days. It is esti- mated that over 300 Spaniards have been killed or wounded since the land ing. Fifty-eight bodies were found yesterday. The Spaniards seem satis- fled that they cannot dis1odge the Americans and have withdrawn The upper bay is to be occupied immediate ly. Lieutenant Delehanty with an ex- petition is nightly at work removing mines from the river connecting the upper and lower bays. When this is clear the ships will move up the chan nel and take the town of Caimanera, whose forts were demolished by the Texas last Friday.
 The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis cut the Kingston cable last night within a mile of Fl Morro.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sunday, June 19 (via King ,on, Jamaica June 2O.-A correspondent of the Associated Press has been afforded an opportun- itv of interviewing General Calixto Garcia. who, with his staff. was taken to Admiral Sampson's flagship this morning by the gunboat Vixen. The white-haired general was lying in the cabin of Captain Chadwick. the com- mander of the New York. He was sick. This is the message General Gar cia sends to the American people:
 T am greatly obliged for the efforts of the American people in securing the Independence of Cuba. and shall do all I can to defeat the Spaniards quickly"
 Speaking of the march from Banes, where he went to receive the munitions of the Florida expedition, he said:
 we had a hard march over the roads. Engagements with the Span iards? No; because there were no Spaniards. My 4000 men are in good condition. except for the slight fatigue of the long march We found enough food. though the Spaniards are starv- ing. The patriots are not suffering from the blockade. They can always get food. It is the Spaniards who pay the price. I think the war will be over in a few months. You can beat tho

Spaniards easily, but it is very hard to drive them out"
 Then General Garcia asked Admiral Sampson, who sat beside him. what had happened to the other Spanish ships, the Pelayo and the rest, and opened his eyes wide with a muttered exclamation of surprise when he heard that Admiral Camara was still at home.
 At Holguin. General Garcia said, there are 10000 Spanish troops, but he believes the 5000 men he left there will effectually prevent the army from reaching Santiago from the Holguin side
 Captain Chadwick met General Gar cia in General Rabi's camp, eighteen miles west of Fl Morro. Rabi has about 1000 men. General Garcia was accom- panied only by his staff, consisting of Colonel Collage, chief of staff: Colonel VaIiante and Captain Portuando, and also by General Lord, Colonel Malanes, Lieutenant Colonel Hernandez Major Bueno and their aids. Most of them suffered from sickness. General Garcia humorously said As bad as are the roads in Cuba, your roads, Captain Chadwick, are worse"
 General Garcia and his staff were put ashore late in the day after the prelim- mary details of cooperation between the Cuban and American troops had been fully discussed

BAKERSFIELD, June 20.-Three hundred and flfty-eight volunteers from Kansas and Tennessee reached here this afternoon shortly before o'clock remained about twenty-five minutes and then departed for San Francisco The Kansas troops, POS in number, were under command of Captain David Stewart Elliott and Lieutenant de Fort The Tennessee men were commanded by Captain W.

They will both wait for some time before they will go into active service, as 1t has been prac- tically decided that General Lee will not go either to Porto Rico or Santia- go, but will move with the main Cuban expedition to Havana.
 Although General Lee in a political sense is not technically on record as regards the financial policy his friends seem perfectly well satisfied that his gold proclivities have been as constant as his loyalty to MT. Cleveland. MT. Bryan may be successful in drawing the former Confederate general out during the lulls in camp life this sum mer, in which case the glory that is to come to each later in battle may be consolidated in a Presidential ticket to suit all parties if past political predic- tionS have any results.

Finishing Department of Powder Company Destroyed in Pecu-
 liar Manner

CINCINNATI, June 20.-The finish Ing department of the King Powder Company, located at Kings Mills, in Warren County, was destroyed last night in manner leading to the belief that it was the work of enemies of the Government. The building, in which was stored a quantity of smokeless powder, had evidently been fired near midnight by two men, one of whom was badly burned and had apparently been dragged away from the burning structure by his companion, who then fled in the direction of South Lebanon. Smokeless powder, in the condition it was in in this department does not ex- plode like ordinary powder with a flash but breaks into a bright light and burns for some time. The great light attracted citizens, and some of these met stranger going toward South Lebanon. The injured man was taken into custody. He is apparently a for eigner, but is so badly injured that he can scarcely talk. The powder burned was not for the Government and the money loss Is inconsiderable, perhaps $2O00. This company has contract to supply the Government. and that is thought to be the reason the destruc- tiau of the plant was attempted.

HONGKONG, June 20.-The United States transport Zafiro, which has just arrived here and anchored in Chinese waters, brought news from Manila IT, Dor, under date of June r, from which it appears that the insurgents now hold 4000 Spaniards and 100 native prisoners, together with their arms. The insur- gents also captured on June If the town of Olanga, the place next in import ance to Manila on the bay. Frequent fires have occurred at Manila and at Malate
 According to advices from Manila, dated June IT, it was reported there that General Moment, in coming south ward with 5000 mixed troops from Batacan, thirty miles north of Manila. found the railroad line blocked and was taken by ambush by the insurgents. Fierce fighting ensued and was carried on for three days, during which Gen eral Moment was killed. The native troops joined the insurgents. and the Spaniards who were left, about 500, sur rendered

 At ZapOte a whole regiment revolted at a critical moment The authorities still use mixed forces with the result that inSurgent riflemen are frequently found to have passed the sentries, and to be creeping along under cover and firing upon the Spaniards from behind.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press pays a daily visit to the outposts at Tondo, Santa Tesa, Santa Ana and Malate, but there is no perceptible movement, though there is constant firing, which for the most part Is inef- feCtive. Nothing is visible among the trees. The insurgents, who fire spar ingly, draw abundant Spanish volleys, and especially at night. The Spaniards necessarily squander tons of ammuni- AiOn into the shadow of the thickets, Apparently in the hope of quickly eX- hausting their stock and being in po- sition to surrender honorably after a homeless Sight
 In the meantime the Spanish com manders have been ordered to burn the villagers huts outside the town, so as to deprive the enemy of shelter, and hundreds of peaceful natives are home less.

Officials Anxiously Awaiting News of Events Following Their
 Arrival.

WASHINGTON, June 20. Public attention here to-day was divided almost evenly between three subjects-the movement of General Shafter's army, the prob ability of re-enforcements having reached Dewey and the status Of Hobson, the naval hero.
 It is believed that just about the time Shafter appeared off Santiago the Charleston ap- peared in Manila Bay, leading the three transports which take near 1y 3ooo men to Dewey's assist ance. That fact will not be known, however, officially for two or three days, owing to the distance from Manila to Hong kong, the nearest cable point.
 It is questioned here whether, with this force to back him, Dewey will feel Justified in assaulting Manila or even in accepting it's surrender. Either course would involve heavy responsibility Tor the admiral and it is extremely de- sirable that no pretext be afforded Jeai- ous European powers for intervention at Manila under the guise of protecting the interests of their subjects. There fore, it may be that the admiral will wait another ten days, until the second installment of troops reaches Cav1te. In this case he probably will land the troops that arrive in the town Of Ca yite. which is now completely under the control of himself and the insurgents and employ the time in accustoming them to Manila methods and climate.
 During the day dispatches announc- ing that Captain General Blanco had refused to exchange Hobson and his fellow prisoners created some indfgna- tion, which was modified later by Mad rid advices quoting Sagasta as saying no decision had been reached. Should Spain adopt the cruel and unusual course of refusing an exchange the regulations of the War Department are sufficient 10 meet llle cdSe. iHo Aoi lowing principle Is laid down in it's regulations:
 "Retaliation will never be resorted to as measure of mere revenge, but only as a measure of protective retribution. and. moreover, cautiously and unavold- ably: that Is to say, retaliation shall he resorted to only after careful inquiry into the real occurrence and the charc- fer of the deeds that may demand retri- button. Unjust or inconsiderate retaiia- tion removes the belligerents further and further from the mitigating rules of regular war and by rapid strides leads them to the internecine wars of savages."
 There was a wholesale christening at the Navy Department to-day, when Secretary Long supplied names for no less than thirty five war craft. All of these were provided for in the last na- val appropriation bill and while con tracts for their construction have not

DIAMOND IN HER TOOTH.

Miss Florence Hudson, of Balti-
more, is the possessor of a tooth that
is one of the most unique orld.
The tooth is of solid gold, and bears in
the middle beautiful and fiawless dia-
mond. The diamond is somewhat
more than half carat, and graces the
tooth known as the lateral incisor,
which sets in the left side of the upper
jaw, well to the front. The diamond
cost fifty dollars, and is a very Eeauti-
full jewel. The tooth is one of a pair
of solid gold ones, which were put into
the upper jaw by means of golden
bridge, aud the effect is not only start
ling, bat beautiful.
Miss Hudson is pretty young lady,
with very large, dark eyes, and dark
brown hair and as she leans back in
her chair the flash of ths diamond
as the upper lip is raised, catches and
holds the attention with a persistency
that cannot be overcome.
Turn the eyes in whatever direction
one will, they are sure to return to that
disappearing and reappearing stone.
The diamoned-lighted smile, which &C.
company most of the words Of Miss
Hudson is, indeed, a thing of beauty,
and is totally indescribable in It's effect.
The diamond is set right in the center
of the tooth. which is large one, and
occupies about half of Its front sur
face. The tooth was practiclly made
around the diamond, which is there
fore, visible on both the front and back
of the tooth. Miss Hudson glories in
set of very large and white teeth,
and when she found some time ago
that she would have to lose'two of her
front teeth, she determined to substi-
tute them with solid gold ones. In
think ing the matter over, however
gold appeared to conventional and
commonplace, and she remembered
h0V N0oNV JSoA u6O3 "hAO PAoAbio6
in New York, she had seen lady, the
wife of dentist of that city, who had
very small diamond in her tooth.
This thought having reoccured to her,
she determined that she also wou Id
have diamond in her tooth to take
away the dull effect which two solid
gold teeth without ornament would
impart to the mouth.
The effect is very much prettier than
would be expected" and it altogether
does away with the dull appearance
which has been the great objection to
gold teeth in the front of the mouth.
The diamond tooth is not so cheap
that it is likely to find its way into the
stores, for the two teeth, the bridge,
and the diamond in Miss Hudson's case
cost trifs over one hundred and fifty
dollars. Diamond in the teeth are
bound to become popular, for much
smaller diamond can be used with
practilly the same result, and diamond
teeth are now in order as Christmas.

USEFUL LEMONS.

No woman should be without l5m-
ons on her toilet table, says the New
York Sun. They are about as neces-
sary nowadays as soap, SO those who
bslieve in them say.
"Lem6nsW exclaimed woman who
believes in them religiously. why, l
wouldn't be without lemons whole
day for anything. l ouce heard of q
French woman who was considered the
most beautiful woman of her time. and
she attributed her good locks TO eating
eight oranges day 365 days in The
year. I'd be willing to gamble on it
that lemons will do far more toward
beautifying a womaE than oranges.
Lemons beautify one through and
through, outside and in. Nothing in
the world bleaches the skin, hands aud
face like a little diluted lemon jsice
applied at night. and. strange to say,
unlike most bleaches, it sof;ens he
complexion. Then the fines of mani
cure acids is made by dropping tea
spoonful of lemon juice in a cup of
tepid water. This removes all stains
from nails and skin. Ioosens the cuti-
cule naturally and much better than
any sharp instrument. A dash of
lemon juice in plain water is an excel
lent tooth wash, removing not only
tartar but sweetlning the breath, and
teaspoonful of the juice in small cup
of black coffee will drive off bilious
headache before the sufferer can say
caterpillar. Life would be very barren
to me without lemons, and SO it would
be to any woman who knows the secret
of their efficacy. Best of all the juice
of lemon taken with a teaspoonful Of
soda, cooking soda, after each meal
will pull the fish right off the most
persis;ently fat woman who ever wor-
ried over her weight.
