had the efrontery to caricature more than one.
Certain wells will only become certain features,

can be laid down in regard to the selection Of
veil, there are certain rules for the guidance of
would-be purchasers that may be worth observ-

with bold black velvet discs set far apart, that
is so becoming to the tall, large blonde or the
brunette with vivid coloring and striking feat

WASHINGTON TO

STATUE TO BE UNVEILED AT
BUDAPEST
Presidents of American Universities
and Many Public Men of Note
to Attend the Cere-

Rv Assnciated Press.

By Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug. 25.-The
authorities of the city of Budapest have
decided to unvei the Washington stat
ue now under erection on September
49, and have sent out invitations to
the mayors of American cities, presi-
dents of American universities and
many notable public men of the United
States to attend.
The idea of raising the statue arose
out of the erection in Cleveland some
years ago of a statue of Kossuth.
The Hungarian Americans who were
instrumental in bringing about the
erection of the monument were so cor
daily supported by Americans that
they decided as a mark of gratitude
to raise a Washington monument in
the capital of their native country.
The statue, which Is to be full sized,
will stand in prominent position in
the city park and will be one of the
most interesting sights of that place,
A large contingent of Hungarian
Americans are expected, the official
party sailing from New York August
20, on the Ryndam. In commemo-
ration of the event what is known as
Welner is to be renamed Washington
street.

SAN FRANCISCO WANTS
WATER FOR PROTECTION
By Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 25-The
grand jury, acting upon the report of
the fire commissioner appointed to in
vestigate the subject, wants special
bond election to raise $1,0O0,000 with
which to establish a complete water
supply system for fire protection.
This system includes the building of
new cisterns at the rate of fifteen to
thirty to the square mile.
These cisterns are to be filled by the
Spring Valley company or from stor-
age reservoirs also recommended, or
with salt water, provided there is prop
er connection with the fireboats that
the report recommends the city to
purchase.
The construction Of pump stations
on the water front, the same to be
housed in fireproof buildings, is also
recommended.
One of the most important recon-
mendations of the report is a system
of reservoirs on the hills in and around
the city. Such reservoirs are to be
cut out of solid rock and each to have
capacity of thirty to sixty million
gallons.
Their source of supply will be Lake
Merced. They will form an independ-
ent gravity fire service, capable of
connecting with the high pressure.
The immediate reinstatement of the
firemen who have been laid off has
also been demanded.

HAVANA, Aug. 25.-A dispatch re-
ceived here from Las Cruces, Santa
Clara province, says the mayor, the po-
lice, nearly all the councilmen and Of
ficials of the town, together with all
the rural guards stationed there and
three hundren citizens, have Joined the
insurgents.
Senator Friaz of Cienfuegos has re-
ceived dispatch reporting similar
state of affairs at Trinidad.
Congressman Faustino Guerrero, who
goes under the nickname Of "Pino'
Guerrero, and the men under him still
constitute the strongest group in the
revolutionary movement against the
government, but neither Guerrero nor
the government forces sent out against
him seem yet to be ready to engage in
a decisive fight for the mastery.
The force under Guerrero is concen-
tween San Juan de Martinez and
Guanes. in Pinar del Rio province. In
the meanwhile hundreds of families,
said to be frieds of Guerrero, are peace
fully working their rice and tobacco
fields in that region.
The inhabitants of the district who
have no belligerent inclinations do not
appear to care whether Guerrero or Col.
Avalos, the commander of the rural
guard, eventually prevails.
Officials at Havana, while they de-
cline to give details regarding the
strength of the government forces now
at San Juan de Martinez, intimate to-
night that it is much larger than they
have hitherto permitted to be known.
Report Confirmed.
This is fully confirmed by the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press who
is with the government troops The
correspondent telegraphs that Colonel
Avalos has with him $50 artillerymen
and that he is accompanied by Colonel

BY Associated Press.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 25.-
President Roosevelt today issued a
proclamation appealing for aid for
earthquake stricken Chile.

consultation with Acting Secretary OF
State Bacon at Sycamore Hill.
The proclamation reads:
"A dreadful calamity has befallen our
sister republic of Chile in, the destruc-
tion by earthquake of Valparaiso and
other localities
I'VE at this moment see the city of
San Francisco struggling upward from
the ruins in which like catastrophe
overwhelmed her last spring.
I'VE keep keenly in mind the appre-
citation we then felt for the way in
which the people of Europe, Asia and
both Americas came forward with gen.
erous offers of assistance.
I'm this time of woe of our sister
republic ask that our people, out of
their abundance, now strive to do to
another as others last spring did to us.
THE national Red Cross association
has already taken measures to collect
any subscriptions that may be offered
for this purpose, and trust that there
will be a general response

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-Mayor
Schmitz, who conferred for several
hours with the officers of the carmen's S
union and acting President Thornwall
Mullaly of the United Railroads and
is exerting all his influence to prevent
tie up of the street car system In
the city, held a second conference with
the union leaders yesterday afternoon.
The mayor urged that the union grant
the delay asked for by the company
and postpone the strike date until Mon
day, when President Calhoun of the
United Railroads will arrive.
The executive committee of the car
men informed the mayor that only the
strike vote.
The question whether the men will
strike or await Calhoun's arrival and
his reply to the demands made will be
decided by vote at a general mass
meeting of the carmen which began
early this morning.
The mayor was present to address the
meeting. He still hopes to be success
full in averting a general street car
strike as he was year ago.
1t will probably be long after mid
night before vote is reached.
The general impression is that the
carmen will not vote on the strike
question until Monday and will give
the company an opportunity to make
a reply.
President Stetson of the California
street road stated today that his COM
pany was in no position to grant the
increase asked for IF tha mon strike
he declared, the road will cease opera
tions for the present, as it was oper-
ating at loss.
The Geary street people stated that
they would be governed by the action
of the united Railroads.
