SPANISH CABINET COUNCIL
CONSIDERS DETAILS FOR THE RE-
 TEMPTATION OF TROOPS,

is Asserted That Sagasta yVill Provoke
 n aCrtsis-Governmont Does Not Think United States yNin Try to Make Capital Out of Manila's Fall.
 Madrid, Aug. 16.-Lieutenant General Correa, minister of war, declares that he has received no dispatch from Gen.
 eral Jaudenez relative to the surren- der of Manila, and that he only knows
 semi-officially that General Augustin
 has arrived at Hong Kong. To-day's
 cabinet council was almost exclusively
 occupied in considering the details of
 the repatriation of the troops. The
 question of convoking the cortes was
 postponed until the next cabinet. The
 council to-day also discussed the ap-
 pointment of a peace commission. Cap-
 tain Aunon, the minister of marine,
 says that the United States govern
 ment has expressed a desire that the
 commission shall be composed of the
 most important men in diplomatic and
 political circles.
 Duke Almodovar de Rio, the foreign
 minister, denies that he Is opposed to the nomination of Senor Moret as one of the commissioners. The foreign
 minister adds that he could not be hos tile to nomination which has not yet
 been proposed. It Is asserted in well informed quarters tonight that Senor
 Sagasta will provoke a crisis over the question of convoking the cortes on
 which the ministers will disagree The Italian ambassador on behalf of his government, has expressed to Spain his satisfaction over the cessation of hos tilities, and the earnest wish that after having fought with honor, Spain may enjoy the blessings of peace.
 The government does not think the United States will try to make capital out of the fall of Manila, but the papers express much anxiety regarding that point. The Spaniards are pleased with the fact that Admiral Dewey excluded the insurgents from Manila and are hopeful that the friction thus still indi- cated will weigh with the United States in the settlement of the Philippine problem. The government has request ed the Cuban autonomist cabinet to re-
 main in office and dispatch the gov ernmental business until settlement has been arranged

Danger in Wells.

From the New York Tribune
service has been done to women gem
orally by DR.. A. Wood of Chicago in
tests made by him with systematic care to
determine the danger. if any, in the wear
ing of wells. For this purpose he selected
dozen typical specimens of the article
and applied the ordinary tests of ability TO
read while wearing them; and these tests
showed that every description of veil af-
fects more or less the ability to see dis
tinctly, both in the distance and near at
hand, the most objectionable being the dot
ted sort. Other things being equal, vision
is interfered with in direct proportion to
the number of meshes per square inch, and
the texture of the material also plays an
important part in the matter. Thus. when
the sides of the mesh are single, compact
threads. the eye is much less embarrassed
than when double threads are used tn.
least Objectionable veil, on the whole be-
ing that which is without dots, sprays or
other figures, but with large and regular
meshes made with single and compact
threads. DIR. Wood pertinently remarks
that while eye troubles do not necessarily
result from wearing veils-for the healthy
eye is as able as any other part of the
body to resist legitimate strain-weak eyes
are injured by them.

The Philosophy of Color.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Some one, associating colors with sounds,
describes scarlet as resembling the ..are of
trumpet, and the idea is by no means in
apt. The trumpet is effective at distance,
perhaps cheerful and inspiriting but heard
near, startling, disturbing, and, if constant
ly repeated, distressing to the nerves. as red
Is to the eyes when persistently before
them. Therefore, all things considered it
is really best to take thought regarding the
matter, when tempted to purchase fash
ionable red coat, cape or gown, and to con-
slider whether or not you will be likely to
frritate your friends and tire your own op-
tics by the continued contemplation of an
unlucky purchase. Above all, never think
to tone down aggressive red by combining
1t with black, for it will only serve to bring
the vivid color into greater prominence
For certain uses a red house gown is most
desirable, and, trimmed with black velvet,
1t may not be toned or subdued, but 1t GER
tainly proves a most becoming dress to al
most any type of woman of suitable years
who dons it. 1t looks warm and bright and
cheerful on cold, gray winter days. but for
general wear or hard wear, on any one but
a child, 1t is not admirable, however fash
tonable it may be. Exception must of
course be made for some of the handsome
dress toilets and waists in reds of yari-
Gus rich tones designed for special evening
wear

The Disappearance of the Curbstone Ora
tor of 1896.
One of the passing problems of the
present campaignis the question of the
whereabouts of the erstwhile curbstone
orator. From the extremes Of Mime
sofa goes up the query as to his contin-
ued absence. In Albert Lea to the
south and Rainy Lake City on the
north the question alike awaits an an
swer. He is a featura of the campaign
because Of his distinguished absence.
All remember his valiant and valuable
services in the national campaign Of
1895. He was a numerous and powerful
factor in every precinct in the Union;
then he stood on the street corner and
with a learning and knowledge of all
great questions far surprising that Of
the statesmen Of renown told of the in
EQUITIES Of the gold standard and Of the
blessings to come under the benefcent
reign Of 16 to 1. But where is
he in 1893? His voice is stilled
in this year of grace; his
physical being has given place to an
equal quantity Of wholesome and nurei
