Care Necessary in, Making Cham.
payne.

Grapes to be used in making cham
payne are gathered with the utmost
care, all imperfect berries being re-
moved, for it is the treatment of grapes
at the picking that fosters the quality
of the wine.
The first pressure given is very slight,
in order not to squeeze out the coloring
matter under the outer skin. This first
delicately favored and clear juice is
used in making .Pommery. The grapes
are afterward subjected to three dis
tinct DRESSINGS, and this>juice. which is
coarser and darker is sold to other
concerns to be used in making cheaper
grades of champagne. With a knowl-
edge of facts like these it is easy to
understand why connoisseurs and those
whose taste is such as to enable them
to discriminate between fine and in
ferior champagne always prefer Pom
merry.

contradiction of stories published in

been i'll treated.
The Spanish prisoners, Lieut.. Col.
Cortijo, Surgeon Major Julian and their
two orderlies, on their side, narrated
that during their trip from Tampa to
Key West they. were amazed to find
themselves the objects of most friend
ly demonstrations upon the part of
Americans. Ladies offered them bou-
quets and said their sympathies were
with Spain and that they detested the
Cubans.

USE A BALLOON.
Navy Department May Send SchIey
One to Sight Cervera.

WASHINGTON, May 28-It has been
suggested here that a practical way Of
solving the problem of whether Ad-
miral Cervera as really bottled up IN
Santiago harbor would be to send up
a balloon from one of the warships that
are supposed to be at the mouth Of
the harbor on tour of observation.
This, it is believed, could readily be
done without any great risk Of danger
to the persons in the airshlp. The sig
nal office has balloon equipment, but
it could not be ascertained that any Of
the vessels of the fleets are furnished
with it. From the experience of the
past there would be no trouble in in
f1ating a balloon, which, soaring at an
elevation of 1000 feet or more, could
have ample opportunity Of observing
the greatest stretch of country sur
rounding Santiago harbor or of detect
ing the strength of the Spanish squad
ron and of noting with considerable
detail all the fertilization works on
either side of the harbor leading to the
city.
