Make an In eresting Find.

Some chalk diggers nave made an interesting find of a skeleton at Swans combe, Kent, England. It was that of a short, very thick-set man, and 1t is thought he was probably c Roman. A careful search was made fer coins or weapons, or anything that could give a clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton. but nothing was found except some fiints. rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im- plement. The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds of years. It was in the heart of a chalk hill which had never been exca- vated before.

Cubans and Porto Ricans.


 One result of the provisional state of things now existing in Cuba IS that Eubans who travel abroad are without any definite government protection. They are no longer subjects Of span and they are not citizens of the United States Secretary Hay has issued ln- structions under which they will be given the good offices of American rep resentatives abroad, in case of need, but this is by way of friendly inter
 yentiOn rather than official protection. Porto Ricans, however, will be given protection in all matters in which American citizens would be entitled to 5t; but they will be registered at the e0nsnlates as native Porto Ricans ana not as citizens of the United States.

OPPOSED TO EXPANSION.
Irish Republicans. Led by Patrick
O'FarrelI, Take Action.

An association of Irish american republi-
cans opposed to the policy of expansion in
the United States has been formed in this
city under the dictatorship of Patrick
O'FarreH. Meetings for the purpose of per-
fecting the organization were held in the
parlors of the Ebbitt House Monday and
Tuesday evenings. The greatest secrecy
was observed throughout, the reason for
this being 1t is said, the fact that num-
Der of Irish-Americans in government en-
ploy were in attendance who did not want
their connection with the movement known
at this time.
Mr.. OFarreH was the moving spirit
throughout, and upon him will devolve all
the efforts to secure members. An ad-
dress will soon be issued by a committee
appointed for that purpose. In speaking
of the movement Mr.. O'Farrell said he has
always been a republican, but Is opposed to
the new doctrine of Imperialism" He be-
lieves the United States should confine
themselves to the American continent and
contiguous islands.

Clara Stevens May Ball.

The annual dancing exhibition Of the
pupils of Miss Clara Stevens was given
Tuesday night at National Rifles Armory
before large and appreciative audience of
the friends and relatives of those who took
part. The affair was an enjoyable one in
every respect, many Of the features being
above the standard by which these occa-
sions are usually gagged. Although the
program was an extremely long one, 1t did
not prove tiresome at any part, and in
deed, judging from the applause bestowed
with lavish hand upon the little ones, the
program could have been with propriety
made even longer. The grand march began
promptly at go o'clock, the figures show
ing the result of hard training on the part
of those who participated. Miss Mary
Hardy made a pretty and graceful Queen
of May, while Misses Alma Nelson, Mar
guerite Schlotterbeck, Morris Nelson, as
cupids, and NJ. Smithson, as the crown
bearer, made efficient attendants. Miss
Norine Worthington was the Queen of
Flowers, her attendants being Misses Mad
oline Smithson, Buttercup; Catherine Nc
Carthy, Poppy; Frida Hermann, Rose; Ell
sic Sheetz, Violet, and Alma Nelson as the
queen bearer. Miss Dorothy Heiberger
made a very dainty herald. At the conclu-
sion of the regular program the floor was
cleared for general dancing, a pleasure of
whsch the majority Of those present avail
ed themselves. Supper was served in the
lower hall later in the evening.

FROM AMERICA TO SPAIN
An Officers Uniform Nysteriously Turns
Up in Madrid.
Singular Story of Shipment, Loss and
RecOvery-Trans port Olivette
Figures IN tile Case.

After peculiar and varied cruise, lead
ing from Key West. through Cuba and on
across the Atlantic to the shores of sunny
Spain, and extending over a period of many
months, an old cedar chest containing the
uniforms and equipments of an officer of
the omted states army Is en- route to
America and will soon be in the possession
OF the army man in question. The off,
Ger Is at present stationed in Washington,
ana long ago was compelled to make an
outlay of several hundred dollars to re-
place the blue cloth, gilt ornaments and
paraphernalia he had given up for lost.
The story of the loss and recovery is an
interesting one and is just now going the
rounds of the army and navy men in the
capital.
The officer was ordered to Cuba with
one Of the later expeditions dispatched to
the island. The Spaniards were yet in con-
troll. He packed his cedar chest and saw 1t
vanish into the hold Of the transport OIL
vette. The officer soon found himself upon
the hghtlng shore, but he could not find
the chest anywhere. There was not much
time for fooiing, however, and the valu-
able outfit was given but little attention.
The Olivette returned to the states and
still there was nothing to be seen of the
chest or its contents. About this time the
steamer sank to the bottom, with but lit
tie warning. while peacefully lying at an
Choir in a southern harbor. News of the
disaster reached the captains ears and he
sighed as he thought of some gay shark
all logged out in his brass buttons and
glitterlng gold lace flirting about with the
maidens of the deep.
It's gone to Admiral Davy Jones' locker"
the officer confided to a fellow West Point
ar, and there is no crying over sunken
wearing apparel. Confound transport
anyhow"
The campaign over, the island surrender
ed by the Spanish, the officer Sin the hole
to his tailor, the wound inflicted by the
cruel loss healed, no further thought was
given the matter. This was true until a
few days ago, when the captain received in
his mail from the War Department a let
ter from the French embassy in this city.
In this communication it was stated that
cedar chest containing uniforms marked
in the name of Capt. -" had in some
unaccountable manner turned up in Madrid
The box was not inVoiced, and was opened
doubtless with no little trepdation on the
part of the Spaniards. The French consul
was advised, and he in turn wrote the en-
bassy of that nation at Washington. The
chest is now making q return voyage across
the Atlantic.
The mystery surrounding it's strange dis
appearance and final visit to Madrid is
one of the many inexpncable incidents Of
an army campaign.
