of the Admiral in the matter of provis-
ions.
The Navy Department issued orders
to-day that the monitor Monadnock, now
at Mare Island California. should be
made ready to sail for Manila within ten
days. The Monterey will not wait for
the company of the Monadnock, but
should be off in the course of a few
hours under the convoy of the Brutus.
The Navy Department will Immediately
procure another merchant ship to ac-
company the Monadnock on her 5000
mile voyage. With twin screws and
13 horse power engine, she can easily
make 13 knots an hour. Built on the
general lines of the Amphitrite, she has
better engines and more power. She
carries four 10 inch guns, in two tur-
rets beside, two four inch rapid firing
guns in n casemate and a numerous
secondary battery. Her coal capacity is
$50 tons in bunkers and almost as much
more storage room can be found on the
decks. Consequently, the MOnadnock,
has the ability to make a longer cruise
than the Monterey without replenishing
her coal supply, yet her capacity IS
still too small to permit her to make
the passage from Honolulu to the Phil
ippines unaided. With these two moni-
tors Admiral Dewey will be fully able
to take care of himself even should
the much talked of Cadiz feet under
take to attack him in Manila harbor.
The monitors at their maximum draw
only 141a half feet of water, or ten
less than the Spanish battleship Pelayo,
and therefore would be able to pick
their position in the shallow water
where the Spanish battleships could not
possibly reach them. and hammer away
at the latter to their hearts content, pre-
senting themselves so small a mark as
to render it very difficult for the Span
ish gunners to reply effectively. There
is no doubt entertained Of the Monad-
nOck's seawOrthiness, for before being
reconstructed mt the Mare Island Navy
Yard. she made the entire voyage from
the Delaware clear around the Horn
to San Francisco, voyage longer al
ready than that made by the Oregon.
That Cadiz fleet. which was reported
to be doing strange things in the West
Indies. yesterday is not giving the naval
officials any concern They have learn
cd through the State Department that
the Spanish ships were ut Cadiz last
Friday. 50 they could not have been in
the West Indies two days later. Up to
the close of office hours it could not be
learned at the War or Navy Departments
that any news had reached there to
show that troops had been landed in
force near Santiago and the officials
high and low. made no concealment of
their incredulity.

NEck-WEAR NOVELTIES.

Velvet dog-collars, either very broad
and fastened at the back, or narrow,
crossed in the back and tied In dsshing
bow just 10 the left Of the chin, are very
much worn. Usually narrow rim Of
linen collar is revealed, and frequently n
brooch or jeweled stick-pin Is added.
High collars are the correct thing with
house gowns as well as street suits, and,
AS u rule, these high bands are fancifully
trimmed with slsshed velvet, bands OF
fur, frills Of lace, or all three. The
Medici collar is coming In again, and
the Valois is new device, which extends
only across the back of the neck, for
giving the face a becoming background.
Bows at the back of the neck, or rib
bOns, are rarely seen on the newer
frOcks. The collar band IL often Of a
different color from the dress, or Of two
or three colors. With sombre gown
the band is sometimes series Of folds
or tucks OF white satin, topped Off with
two narrow folds of blue or red, or the
white satin is edged with gold braid, or
the entire band is of pink or yellow or
blue, as IL most becoming. A tiny chou
Of lace, or lace and fur. finishes the neck
In the back. Narrow folds to match the
neck-bands give a dainty touch to the
long wristed sleeve.
Neckties of tulle, chiffon, or net are
coming more and more into vogue, they
are so useful and so becoming. They
are cut hslf-yard wide, and sometimes
passed round the neck twice, tying with
bows and ends, either under the chin or
left ear. They are worn tucked, trim
med, or plain.
New neck garnitures, which substitute
the plain linen bands, for tailor suits, are
dainty collars and frills Of linen lawn,
cut In squares or points, and edged with
Valenciennes lace. These so-called
collars are set on strips OF lawn and
