THE SPANISH AUDAz.
British Neutrality Laws Compelled
Her to Leave Ireland.

Queenstown, April 25.-There is little
doubt in naval circles here that the
AudaZ, which, IN compliance with or
ders from the British admiral, left port
at $40 o'clock this morning, will go to
Ferrol or Cadiz from here, as a consid-
cradle quantity of her war equipments
have still to be placed on board of her
before she can be pronounced ready for
active service.
Her sister boat, the Osado, which
tOwed her here from Waterford, into
which port they put in after the Au-
daz was damaged, went to Ferrol from
Queenstown TO be fitted with the equip
ments not furnished by their English
builders.
In view of the outbreak of hostili-
ties, the dock company at Cork, which
has been preparing the torpedo boat,
has rushed work night and day on the
small craft. Since Friday her Spanish
crew has been in high spirits, contin-
ually waving bunting and handker-
chiefs, or otherwise expressing salts
faction at the prospect of taking part
in the naval movements of Spain.

THE ETIQUETTE OF MOURNING

English mourning, considered by
smart mantua makers to be in the best
! taste, is heavier than before. but is
worn for shorter time. A widow
should wear her Grape, henrietta cloth,
/ or bombazine and her widows cap for
one year. After that time she will as
sumo all black without Grape or cap,
and at the end of the second year put
on whatever color she may desire.
! A daughter wears Grape mourning
| for six months. all black for six more.
and then, if she wishes, puts on colors.
The same rule applies to a sister, while
a distant relative or friend wears com
plimentary mourning" all black. for
three months.
The stiffiy crimped net, which at one
time was worn at the neck and wrists
by widows, is no longer used. In its
stead fine lawn cuffs and collars, quite
deep. the cuffs having hens measuring
half an inch, while the hem on the COL
lar is a little less, are basted in the
sleeves and neck after the fashion of
old turnover" collars and cuffs These
1t must be remembered, are worn ex-
clusively by widows and the three-cor-
nered cap is made to match
OF course, the friends and acauaint-
cards at the door with their coincidence
written upon them, but only those con-
nected by ties of blood or the most in
innate friends should ever ask TO see
those in grief They are at home. and
many women, restrained by their scru-
pies of truth and courtesy, are forced
to see thoughtless callers, when it is
far from pleasant, if not absolutely
painful.
All cards of inquiry are recognized
by a return card, black bordered and
should be sent within ten DAYS after
the reception OF the card of inquiry.
Letters of coincidence have almost en-
tirely given way to personal cards. and
those in grief are not expected to an
swer such letters, except by thq return
of pasteboard. English custom requires
a special black bordered card for this
purpose, engraved somewhat as fol-
lows: Mrs. Blank wishes to thank you
for your kindness in making inquiries
about her" The name, of course is to
be filed in. The envelope used should
be black bordered and fit the card.
While Grape is worn formal visits arc
never paid, invitations never accepted
taste than by wearing a long Grape veil
to a place of amusement, while crane
on the dancing floor is an abomination
too great to be considered
When Grape is laid aside, black-bor-
dered paper goes with it. This paper
has regular numbers; that used by
daughters and sisters is known to the
stationers as No. l, by a mother that
known as No. 3, while widow uses
No. 4. All jewelry is out of taste in
mourning.

1t is estimated that in any of our older

this estimate be correct the number of

STRATEGIC SUGGESTION.
If Carried Out, Two Ports Will Be
Soon Taken In Cuba.

| Washington, April 26.-The strategic
board of the army and navy are be-
| ing urged to supplement the pacific
! blockade by the taking of one port on
the north coast of Cuba and one on
the south coast, for the purpose of es-
tabliShing a juncture with General Go
mez's insurgent troops at Sancti Spiri-
tus and with General Garcia'S insur-
gent forces in Santiago de Cuba. Sec
rotary Albertini. of the Cuban legation,
said today that movements of this
character would be extremely valuable
in opening UP correction with forces.
1t is felt that small forts could be
taken practically without opposition.
and that Cienfuegos, on the south
coast, and SaSua la Grande, On the
north coast, are probably best fitted in
point of locality and lack of coast de-
lenses as the bases of supplies, Glen
fuegos on the south coast is the point
most accessible TO the commands of
both Gomez and Garcia, while Sagua
is within easy reach of Gomez.
By having two bases, one on the
north and one on the south, the danger
of interruption in the communication
from one to the other would be avoided
and it is thought through cOmmuni-
cation between the two could be eff
fected. 1t is said that Cienfuegos and
Sagua could not offer the resistance
that Matanzas and other large ports
are able TO present. The large Cuban
ports have fairly good batteries and it
would take a considerable naval force
and the delays incident to giving the
non-c0mbatants time for departure be-
fore they could be captured. On the
other hand, smaller ports could make
little more than a formal defense, if,
indeed, they did not surrender at the
outset, knowing that opposition was
useless With two such bases of opera
lions secured. the Cuban authorities
here feel that the Cuban forces in the
field and those ready to take the field,
could be speedily and effectively equip
ped with arms, ammunition and sup
plies. 1t is said that Gomez and Gar
cha have the men and the enthusiasm
capable of striking an effective blow,
once they have arms in hand, and that
the only reason for their present mac
ton is their failure to have adequate
ammunition for q strong forward move
ment on the Spanish forces.
Recent conferences between the Gu
ban military officers here and General
Miles leave little doubt that the war
department. will equip the Cuban forces
in every way practicable with the pres
ent heavy demand for arms and ammu-
nit-on made by the calling into active
service of the full force of the army and
$4,000 volunteers.
But it Will still be necessary to eff
feet a junction with the Cuban forces,
and to this end the suggestion is being
made that ports on the north and south
coasts of Cuba be taken. Action is
likely to follow as soon as the war de-
partment feels that it is ready to place
adequate supplies of arms ard anmu-
milton in the hands of the Cubans.

Erie Makes a Record.

Cleveland. O., April 25.-Without any
special, effort the Erie railway yester-
day established a new record for speed
between New York and Cleveland. The
time of all roads between the two

minutes. A special newspaper train
left New York at $3.50 a. m. and ar
rived in Cleveland at 1854 p. m The
Weoten patent of engine was used and
the train consisted of an engine and
FIVE cars from New York TO HorneIls-
vile and an engine and two cars from
Hornellsville to Cleveland. Some 16
stops were made on the trip.

PLAN CONTEMPLATED.

This government will, probably this
week, send a vessel to a secluded place
along the coast. The vessel will have
on board the arms and ammunition so
anxiously wanted by the Cubans. and
it viii be protected by one or two gun
boats.
Onashore, the large Cuban force will
be in waiting. 1t is said that the en-
tire Cuban army may be concentrated
at this point, under the protection Of
the guns of the warships.
The munitions of war will be landed
as rapidly as possible, as a large num-
her of men can do the work and the
arms and ammunition will be taken
to a place of safety for distribution.
These arrangements have been made
by the Cuban junta, and General Cas-
tillo. in behalf of General Gomez. and
the latter will be at the head of his
army to receive the arms when, on the
day agreed upon. they will be ready
for delivery.
