plan of the department was to establish a
base of supplies for the Cuban army by
landing five thousand men, and that cir
cumstances led to q change of plan, Gen
eral Miles idea of general invasion by a
large force being subsequently adopted. II
is known to be still the plan OF the depart
ment to occupy Porto Rico and to destroy
the fleet and Notifications at Santiago be-
fore the general invasion of Cuba occurs,
and Secretary Alger's reference to the in
vasion of Cuba cannot properly be inter
preted to mean that the invasion of Hav-
ana is to be the first move
The very best information is that consid-
cradle time will elapse before the large in
vading army will be ready to move on
Cuba. Meanwhile, the Porto Rican and
Santiago expeditions are to proceed The
Chickamauga troops are to Join General
Lee at Jacksonville. and are undoubtedly
destined for the occupation OF Porto Rico,
Jacksonville being the nearest point of de-
parture from our coast for that island.
May Not Need the Troops.
If Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley have, contrary to the expectations
of the department, undertaken the reduc-
ton of Santiago, and there is large force
of insurgents assembled in that vicinity,
the necessity for the military expedition to
that point may be relieved, but the depart
ment had not this morning received any in
formation which led to a reconsideration CT
its plans.
Troops on the Way.
The expedition for this purpose has been
carefully organized. and the engineer d.
vision, the siege train and some of the
regular troops are now on their way either
to Porto Rico or Santiago.
1t is said that it will be at least a month
and a half before the grand army Of in
vasion of Cuba, to consist of 10000 or 100,-
OOO men, will be ready to start.
There are many evidences that the War
Department is arranging for the concen-
tration of a large number Of troops at
Jacksonville, where Major General Lee is
in command. Two regiments, which had
been assigned originally to Chickamauga.
will instead go to the Florida city. These
are one of the Virginia regiments, which.

would leave Richmond this morning, and
one of the New Jersey regiments, which
was on it's way to Chickamauga, but whose
orders were changed shortly after leaving
their rendezvous in their state.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May %, via
Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 2. - Four
weeks after the victory of Rear Admiral
Dewey at Manila, Commodore Schley, in
&C mmand of the flying squadron, had his
shrewdness and pertinacity rewarded by
finding the Spanish fleet in the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba.
For ten days he had, in the face Of con-
f1icting rumors and some cases of alleged
verifications, insisted that the ships of
Spain were trying to make landing on the
southern coast of Cuba. This was evident
ly not in consonarce with newspaper and
official information, and his opinion was
rot given much public weight. In fact, it
is believed that some days before he proved
the correctness of his diagnosis of the sit

One by one our old poetic idols are
being shattered by the utilitarian and
practical of the fn-de-siecle woman
doctor. The latest iconoclast is re-
sponsible for the easseveration that what
is so poetical in poetry and the old
novels about the whiteness Of the skin,
means something not so poetical. II
is due, she says, to the languor of the
muscular tissues throughout the body,
and the slowness and languor that
was so often characterized as a charm.
ing feminine attribute is associated
with indigestion, and is therefore
thoroughly unromantic. 1t is one OF
the ironies of life that women as they
stand in literature and romance are
not true to life.

The surgeons who have been MAX
ing examinations of the members of
the militia volunteers will make re-
ports that will be apt to discourage,
though it may not extinguish the BIZ
cycle habit, and particularly the low
handlebars. 1t is said at the medical
department of the army that great
aumber of the volunteers who have
been rejected for physical disability
are bicycle riders, who, by that vio-
lent exercise, have developed diseases
of the heart and spine which unfit
them for exposure or endurance.
These troubles are said to be con-
fined almost entirely to riders who
use low handlebars and lean forward
IN the saddle. This position not only
induces curvature of the spine and
other diseases in that part of the
anatomy, but causes the other organs
to crowd the heart out of it's place, and
produce irritation which ultimately
becomes chronic. AS soon as they
have an opportunity to do so, the ex-
amining surgeons will be called upon
for reports on this subject.

Associate Superintendent of Schools
William L. Felter OF Brooklyn claims
that the handwriting of the future
will not be verticle hand, but q
round hand, with slant off the ver-
teal from ten degrees to twenty de-
grees. Investigation shows that this
is the style written by business men.
These writer's were taught the old
slant. They have worked up to a
slant of about seventy-fve degrees.
Why have they not gone up to ninety
degrees =? Because they could not do
so and preserve the essential element
of rapidity.

1t is a remarkable fact that our naval
heroes have seldom been honored with
prominent political Office after the
achievement of their victories. We
have had several soldier presidents,
but no sailor executive, yet we talk
about the ship of state. What more
natural than to put a sailor at the
helm? How does it happen that Farra-
gut and Porter never became promi-
nent in civil life, while SO many gen.
erals of distinction held political posi-
tions at Washington after the war !?

dinner soon ready fit for king, and
surely far too good for such cruel
and bloodthirsty man as Tarleton soon
was known to be.
When the colonel and his staff we're
summoned to the dining-room they
sat down to a table which fairly
groaned beneath the good things
heaped upon it. It was such dinner
as only the South Carolina matrons
knew how to prepare, and the men
soon became jovial under it's inAu-
ences. I'VE shall have few sober
men by morning." said a captain, "if
this is the way we are to be treated.
l suppose when this little war is over
all this country will be divided among
the soldiers. Eh, colonel?"
Undoubtedly the officers will oc-
cupy large portions of the country"
replied Tarleton.

will each occupy" said Mrs. Slocumb,
unable to maintain silence longer.

Kingsley's doctrine that "men must
work and women must weep" finds
disapproval in the case of the families
of Captain Robley D. Evans of the
Iowa and Captain Henry G. Taylor
of the Indiana. The daughters of
both families, Mrs. Charlotte Evans
Marsh and her sister, Miss Virginia T.
Evans, with Miss Mary V. Taylor, are
receiving instructions in the naval
hospital at Fort Monroe to qualify as
trained nurses during the war. Women
have something to do nowadays more
important than posing as Niobes.

to the piazza, an example which all.
including Mrs. Slocumb, ct once fol-
lowed. She was trembling now, for
she felt assured that she could explain
the cause of the commotion.
May ask, madam" said Tarle-
ton. turning to her as soon as he had
given his orders for the action of the
troops, whether any of Washington's g
forces are in this neighborhood or
not?''
''You must know that General
Greene and the marquis are in South
Carolina, aud I have no doubt you
would be pleased to see Lee once
more. He shook your hand very
warmly the last time he met you, am
told"
An oath escaped the angry colonel's
lips, and he glanced for moment at
the scar which the wound Lee had
made had left on his hand, but he
turned abruptly and ordered the
troops to form on the right and he
dashed down the lawn.
A shout and the sound of firearms
drew the attention of Mrs. Slocumb to
the long avenue that led to the house.
A cry escaped her at the sight, for
there was her husband, followed by
two OF her neighbors, pursuing on
horseback band of five tories whom
Tarleton had sent to sccur the coun-
try.
On and on they came, and it was
evident that the pursuers were too
busy to have noticed the army of
Tarleton. Broad swords and various
kinds of weapons were flashing in the
air, and it was plain that the enraged
Slocumb saw nothing but the tories
he was pursuing. Could nothing be
done? Would they run into the very
heart of the camp? Mrs. Slocumb
tried to scream and warn her hus-
band, but not sound could she
make. One of the tories had just
fallen, when she saw her husbands s

The Best Part.

On the last day of school the chill
dren OF Miss Smiths room had pic
mic in Blake's Grove, and while they
were resting from their games they
began to talk about the Fourth of
July.

is the procession" said Margaret.
"It's so nice to hear the band play
and see the soldiers marching!"

onade," said Tommy, ''apd the pea
nuts and candy and the merry-go-
round"
''But the games and races are the
most fun," said Albert.
"You forget the fireworks" said
Alice.
Eyes; and the frecrackers," said
Paul, "and all the flags"
81 think we'd better take vote on
it." said Miss Smith.
Four voted for the procession, seven
for the frecrackers and flags, seven
for the games and races, nine for the
fireworks, and thirteen for the ice
cream and lemonade, the nuts and
candy and the merry-go-round.
"How would you have voted, Miss
Smith?" some of the children asked
"Well," said Miss Smith, "it's hard
to decide. and I believe I should have
voted as little Sammy did, for he held
up his hand every time"

Cooling Drinks For the rourtn.

Jelly Water-Sour jellies dissolved
in water make delicious drinks. Best
always boil the jelly in water, then
cool. In this way the jelly does not
become lumpy.
Cream of Tartar Water-Pour three
quarts of water to an ounce of cream
of tartar. Stir in it the juice of fresh
lemon and the peel cut in very thin
strips without particle of pulp.
Sweeten to taste. Let stand till cold
and clear. Pour off without disturb
ing the sediment at the bottom. A
tumblerful iced is q pleasant and
healthful beverage.
Orange Lemonade-To the Juice of
two lemons add that of one orange. to
this amount of juice add four large
tumblerfuls of water, sweeten to taste
and cool.
Strawberry Water-Cook the straw
berries in very little water, strain
through small sieve, boil the Juice
in little sugar till the strawberry
color has returned, set away, and add
the right amount to glass of water.
Soda Beer--Two pounds white
sugar, whites of two eggs, two ounces
tartaric acid, two tablespoons flour,
two quarts water and juice of one
lemon; boil two or three minutes and
flavor to taste. When wanted for use,
take half teaspoon soda, dissolve in
half glass water, pour into it about
two tablespoons of the mixture and it
will foam to the top of the glass.
