ernor of Cavite. but he will shortly
move to linus to make room for the

eighty-seven of the Spanish wounded

truce by permission Of Admiral Dewey.
The wounded Spanish officers, with one
exception, are at Cavite.
The Spanish Brigadier Moret was kill
ed at San Fernando in an attempt to
force the rebel line.
An American official at Cavite writes
as follows:
'If great bloodshed and destruction
come to Manila, Spain may justly blame
the Germans. Manila would have sur
rendered before the arrival of the Ger
man squadron without bloodshed, but
now, owing to the moral support Of its
presence, the city refuses to surrender"

THE1R PLACE IN THE BAND.

Among those who went out to Shell
pot Park last evening TO near Gil-
more's band was Charles G. Rumford,
one Of the prominent members Of the
Now Castle county bar. This morning
the Wayfarer met him ON Market
street. and in course of the conyersa-
tion which ensued Mr. Rumford men
toned the fact of his visit to Shellpot
and inquired
"The present leader of the band is
not Pat Gilmore?"
"No-he's dead, answered the Way
farer.
"Winiam Lea, brother Of Preston
Lea. Colonel Benjamin Nields and l
played in Pat Gilmore's band years
ago" he said. with peculiar smile
which aroused the Wayfarer's curios-
ity.
Tell me about IT, said the man
who desired to chronicle in his Note
Book the particulars Of such an event
concerning three men who have been
so prominent in New Castle county for
so many years.
I'VE all belonged to the First Della
ware Battery" he said, his genial face
lighting up with the recollection Of
younger and stormier days. i think
that It was in February (probably on
Washington's Birthday in 1864, that
we were at New Orleans. Pat Gilmore
was leader OF the headquarters band,
and he conceived the idea of giving a
tremendous outdoor concert. He had
two or three hundred school children
TO sing patriotic airs; lot Of cavalry
men to cheer and take the mems parts;
and some batteries, including the First
Delaware, to take the heavy bass parts
in the concert Electric wires ran from
the guns Of different calibre to q key
board manipulated by the deft fingers
of Pat Gilmore He knew just whal
keys TO touch to fire the guns necessary
to produce the proper bass effect upor
the ears OF the thousands who haS
turned out TO hear his unique WARTIME
concert We loaded the guns for hin
as rapidly ais he set them off to tn
score of his music. and that was thu
manner in which Mr.. Lea, Colone
Nselds and l played in Pat Gilmorel
band. Situated. as we were, close L
the guns, we could not appreciate tn
effect the pieces produced but / imag
inc that it was very fine. Our piece
were six three-inch rifles, but / thinl
that heavier guns were used TO produc
the deeper bass effects"

position is unchanged. The arrival Of
the American troops Is awaited, and
they are expected today.
The Spanish outposts have prepared
to retire promptly to the walled citadel

A section Of the insurgents, Il is al

1F MAN HAp ro DO IT?

What a martyrdom to fashion man
would suffer If he were compelled to
put on all the fuss and feathers and
frills affected by the stylishly dressed
woman in these warm summer months.
One Of the blessings which a man en-
joys is the simplicity of dress. EXtrava-
gance OF toilet is the curse Of woman
kind, and gives her more bother and
wOrriment than all else combined.
Take an example. The Wayfarer is
acquainted with a young woman who
resides on West Eighth street. She has
a white dress, a dream made up of or
candle, laces and ribbins. It is an
airy, fairy affair, which cost many dol
lars TO make and 1t does the eyes good
t. look at it. About 22S yards of white
4ib)ons were used in the trimming, not
to mention the many yards Of lace.
Think Of a man having to put on 22S
yards Of ribbon when the thermometer
ranges from 95 to 103 in the shade,
and when he feels almost smothered
in crash suit.

joyable excursion to Fort Mott on

Of the number When you visit a mill
tary camp you must beg something 10
bring hOmewith you as a souvenir. Sol
diers have little to give away but the
visitors must have what portable stuff
they possess or they feel. aggrieved.
The tents and their equipments cannot
be taken Neither can the uniforms,
rifles, bayonets and belts. But there
are buttons! buttonsl buttonsl Every
/ girl wants five or six buttons-sOme-
times more. Two large ones for hat
pin heads, three small ones for shirt
studs, and two OF medium size for cuff
buttons. If she is particularly grasp

a cross-bar from the poor devils who
are sweltering beneath a hot sun, wait

to the 'front.' TO fight, with death or
desperate wounds as possibilities.
Il was while foraging for buttons for
several war girls that the Wayfarer
had the pleasure OF meeting Lieutenant
c. c. Huff. of the Fourteenth Pennsyl-
vania Regiment, Of Pittsburg, at Fort
Mott.
Lieutenant, have you any buttons
which you want to give away?" he
asked.
The lieutenant was wise beyond his
day and generation. He understood
and appreciated the desperate situation
and Immediately prepared to meet it.
Just wait here a minute, and I'll
see what I can do, he said.
He went of to another pant Of the
camp and shortly thereafter returned
with an old blouse in his hand. TAX
ing a well equipped housewife from
his camp chest, he selected a small
pair of scissors. ripped up the sleeves
Of the old blouse and removed four but
tons, the ripping being rendered neces-
sary by the patent fasteners.
These buttons have a history" he
said, as he handed three Of them tC
the Wayfarer. "They were In the Pine

SOAP AND ITS usEs.
England High Among the Matters, bat
the United States ut the Head

England High Among the NAtiOnS, bat
tho United States ut the Head
There Is now exported from Great
Britain more soap than was used in
Great Britain at the beginning of the
present century, and, besides, accord
ing to authentic figures, 400 100000
pounds of soap is used in Great Brit
ain every year, exclusive Of 55,O00,-
900 pounds exported to other coun-
tries, chiefly English colonies. The
French manufacture of soap amounts
approximately to 100000 pounds a
year, the larger part of which is
made in the city of Paris. The sale
in other countries of French soap and
particularly French perfumed soap, is
a considerable item of commerce. The
exports of soap from Great Britain in
recent years have been as follows;
1875, 1880 tons; 1880, 1850; 1885,
2O,1OO; 1890, $4,000; 1895, 1880.
What were known in England as the
soap taxes originated during the
reign of Queen Anne and were orig
inally fixed at $3.50 ton yielding In
the year 1880 a public revenue in ex-
cess of 100000. An official estimate
recently made shows the average con-
sumption per inhabitant of Great
Britain to be nine pounds year; a
similar average prevails In France,
Belgium and Holland, though a popu-
lar belief ascribes to the last country
a much larger use of soap, particular
ly for housekeeping. There are no
official figures on the subject but
there is general belief that very lit
tie soap is used in Spain. Certainly
no soap is imported into that country
the Spanish blockade on soap has
been of long duration) and none is
exported from it. The United States
stand at the head of all other coun-
tries in the use, If not in the manu-
facture of soap The average expor-
tations of American soap in a year
amount to 100000 pounds. The i'm
portation into the United States of
soap amounts to 100000 pounds, or
one-tenth as much. There are nearly
500 soap factories in the United States,
WA a cash capital Of $25, 900, 900, US
ing materials to the value of 100000

first place, New York second, and

Washington, July 22.-General Miles,
leading the military expedition against
Porto Rico, started at 3 o'clock this
afternoon from Siboney, Cuba, for the
point on the island of Porto Rico where
1t is the intention that the troops shall
land. 1t is expected that General Miles
will wait at some appointed spot on the
route for the expeditions from Tampa,
Newport News and New York to fall in
his column. The expeditions are al
ready under way, some of them with
two or three days start of General
Miles, and the delay should not be very
great.

he had rendered lis resignation as

This action on he part of General

General Garcia ha not seriously re-

by the fact that ie has just agreed

cases of extreme emergency. They
are of the sort that will brook no delay
