Washington, May 12.-The depart
ment of state has just received from
the United States legation at Habana.
a report which points out the trade
opportunities in the Cuban market in
manufacturing cotton. The report says:
Cuba has no advantage in its close
proximity to the manufacturing ceH-
tiers of the southern States, as the
freight is lower on goods exported
from Europe than those exported from
either New York, Mobile and New
Orleans. AS a general rule deliveries.
can be made quicker from the United
States than from Europe, but during
the past year it has been almost i'm
possible to gets goods with any
promptness from the United States,
and this has caused a loss to our
trade.

ment into terms. The officials here,
however, feel very confident that it
will not be necessary to resort again
to the Nicaraguan route, for they be-
lieve that the present difficulties in the
Panama negotiations are solely attri-
butable to efforts on the part OF the
Colombians to make the most OF the
opportunity to induce the Panama
Canal Company to divide with it some
part of the 100000 900 to be received
by the company from the UniteS'

the periodical prints and there are
many issues Of both sorts scattered
about in private Libraries and collec-
tions that might we'll be put into
possession of the Charleston Library
Society. Not only is old material de-
sired, but contemporary writings and
publications as well, that literary and
publication effort in the State may be

HANSEN HAS LIFTED
IL MEN AT ONE Time,
Is not Far Behind Pascal with whom
he will WrestIe Tuesday
Night.

H. P. Hansen is going to New York
today to get in shape for his coming
match with Pascal. The Dane is in
fairly good condition now as he keeps
himself in trim at the Sociable A. @.
rooms. He would be IN condition to
go on the mat with any ordinary man,
but Pascal is different. The Prussian
is, perhaps, the strongest man that
ever appeared here. The picture of
him holding twenty men on his chest
at one time, published in yesterdays
News, has attracted much attention.
Pascal is a wonder and no one doubts
it.
Hansen is not so far behind him,
however. At a sporting exhibition in
Denmark, before coming here, Han
sen lifted seventeen men by means OF
a harness over his shoulder. He is
very strong and will not go down be.
fore Pascal very easily. With the
two big punches of beef on the mat,
there ought to be an interesting match.

THE A OF JEWELS.
All Sorts of Gems Are Now Being Worn
with Afternoon COstumes-A
New Lucky Stone.

1t is fashionable nowadays to wear
not only diamonds and pearls with aft
ernoon costumes, but also a variety of
other gems. The craze for barbaric
jewelry was perhaps accountable for
this departure in the first instance.
At any rate, says the Brooklyn Eagle,
at any society function nowadays a full
dress day costume is not complete with
out a diamond, chain or pearl collar,
while brooches, pendants and trinkets
of turquoises, sapphires, rubies or emer-
aids are worn in conjunction with the
dainty ieweled watch. And the popular
paste or turquoise buttons are always to
be seen. Even for morning wear the
simple shirt waist has diamond or pearl
links and studs.
Jeweled hatpins are popular wedding
gifts. Jeweled waist belts and hanging
purses are also much in vogue, while the
long earrings. revived about a season
ago, are also in evidence, both at day and
evening affairs.
Turquoises of every conceivable size
and irregularity, and pearls of all
shapes have been the fashion for some
time past.
A new stone for day wear is the New
Zealand stone, which, as an adjunct to
the barbaric pearl SO much in favor, is
charming.
Apart from it's lovely coloring-a
delicate, transparent shade of green
it is supposed to be a lucky" stone as
well, and to the superstitious minded is
a welcome substitute for the lucky, but
long familiar turquoise.
Another new stone is of the loveliest
rose-pink tint, transparent, yet with the
cloudy softness of The opal. This stone
is worn as necklace, pendant, brooch or
earrings.
