RUSHING TO HAVANA.
Saloon Men and Gamblers Find New
Bonanza.

bonanza.
Havana, Dec. 5-Hayana now looks
more like an American city than ever
before in its existence. Americans
come by every boat, undeterred by
fever or by lack of quarters, which is
being felt severely, officers being quar-
tered in all the hotels and in many
residences. The unloading of trans
ports keeps an almost constant cession
OF horses, mules, ambulances, army
wagons and stores passing through the
streets.
Americans, even in uniform, no
longer attract more than passing
notice. American business men are
making themselves felt, though, as
usual, the saloon man is the first to
offer his goods to the public. Amer
lean saloons are opening in all parts of
the city, while gamblers are ready to
open games as soon as protection In
afforded. This is something not likely
to be given, as army officers are op-
posed to permitting gambling of any
sort.

picked up here, there aud everywhere,
has in the china closet opening from

Everybody knows that the tin bread

This is the alluring sign on the out
side Of a little shop in Market street
which attracts the attention Of young
women Of the east side whose blissful
anticipations Of marriage are some
what alloyed by their inability to pro-
vide themselves with the bridal inery
which is the desire Of every feminine
heart irrespective OF outward rank or
condition, says the New York Press.
Doubtless there may be just as much
sentiment and sacredness in a mar
riage ceremony wherein the bride
wears a dull-colored gown that has
seen service under other circumstances
as II she wore shimmering folds OF
satin, but the satin gown will be a
coveted object none the less, even
when known to be unattainable. The
proprietor Of the shop in Market street
does not pose as philanthropist. but
she supplies a demand not otherwise
provided for. Shrewdly guessing that
satin only would be far enough be-
yond the reach of the average east side
bride to tempt her to hire a dress for
wedding, she keeps no other kind on
hand. The satin. however, is Of va
rious grades and prices and the gowns
vary In elegance Of style. ''You want
