READY FOE A CHANGE

OPPOSITION TO DEMIC IN

SPANISH RULE PORTO RICO.

EN-

An Inniion of the Island by United States Troop* Woald Be Generally Welcomed by the Inhabitant*—Causes Which Led to Dislike of Spain and to Revolt.

{Special Correspondence.]

ST. THOMAS, Danish West Indies, July 1.—As a neutral port within easy reach of Cuba and Porto Rico and near the sphere of war, St. Thomas is now much frequeuted by newspaper correspondents. It is a frequent port of call for coasting and other vessels, and not rarely American warships as well as those of other nations drop anchor in the harbor to take on coal or water. It is consequently a great news center, and but little of importance can transpire, at least at Porto Rico, which is only 38 miles distant, without a rumor of it reaching this city.

A few days ago I had a conversation with an Englishman who had been engaged in business in San Juan. He was there when the harbor defenses of that place had been bothbarded by Admiral Sampson's fleet. Previous to that event trade was practically at a stand still in that city, and he was on the point of winding up his business and leaving for a locality where Englishmen were regarded with more favor when the American fleet appeared in the offing.

The cannonading, he said, began soon afterward, and the American gunners gave the Spaniards an object lesson in accuracy of aim. The marksmanship of the latter, ho remarked, was wretched, and tho fortifications were soon, with few exceptions, reduced to amass of ruins. Repeatedly masses of masonry were blown high into the air by the shells from the American guns. The center of the Morro was almost blown away, and tho fragments of a shell struck tho commandant's house near the fortifications and well nigh demolished it. Somo of the American shells, he stated further, passed over the fortifications and wrought dreadful havoc in the city. Numbers of them crashed through rows of buildings and, exploding, killed hundreds of citizens.

He had only left San Juan a few days previous to my meeting him and had heard rumors of an intended invasion by tho Americans. A state of terror prevailed in consequence among the Spanish residents of the place,^but the native born citizens generally hailed the news with delight. Some attempts at repairing the damage done by the American fleet had been made sinoe the bombardment, but the fortiiloations, weak and obsolete even before the attack, were still worse now and almost useless as means of defense agahist armored vessels. With an army of from 5,000 to 10,000 mon, supported by a fleet, my informant thought that the conquest of the island could be easily completed.

In this connection it should not be forgotten tl.at the native population, both black and whito, have been generally hostile to Spanish rule for more than 70 years. They have rebelled repeatedly. k'otno of the outbreaks were limited to particular sections of the is-

VIKW OF THK SAN JUAN FORTiriCATIOXS. land and were of minor importance others were general and involved almost its en tiro extent. A minor Insurrection was only quollod a few weeks before Admiral Snnipson'B gunners battered the walls of Morro about the oars of its defenders. Iudeed it would not be wide of tho truth to say that over sinco Spanish insolence and oppression kindled the flame of revolt in 1830, insurrection and rebellion have been endemic in Porto Rico.

Spain claimed at onetime 18,000,000 square miles of territory between the two Americas. It scarcely comes within the scope of a short letter to inquire as to tho cause of her losing her vast possessions on this side of tho Atlantic until she is now practically bereft of all. I may remark, however, that not even Spanish oppression and misrule were more potent factors in the disintegration and loss of her vast empire than were Spanish exclusivenoss, pride and insolonco. Native born Spaniards invariably treated the Creoles, whether of pure or ns«ed blood, as inferior beings, and the natural consequence was a creation of caste® and all the bitterness consequent upon such unjust discrimination. The Spaniards also monopolised most of the lucrative posts and official portions, a flagrant wrong which also tended to fan the flame of discontent Had she learned wisdom by the sad experiences of the past she might have saved at least Cuba and Porto Rica

All present signs indicate thai the long period of Spanish oppression, misrule and haughty assumption of superiority are rapidly drawing to a close in Porto Rica The advent of a new order of things and of a milder and justerrule will be without doubteagerly welcomed by its Inhabitants. Favored by nature as few localities are, the island would become an earthly paradise under mono favorable conditions than have prevailed there heretofore. Should the United State# annex the island it would be an incalculable advantage to its inhabitants and a most valuable acquisition to that country.

LACES ARE POPULAR.

aad Plaids Still Favored—Doable Skirts to Be Worn. :W^{Spectal Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, July 4.—Lace has suddenly, following the lead of the Grand Prix fashions in Paris, taken a rapid step in advance as not only dress trimming, but dress material, inasmuch as many most elegant dresses were entirely of lace. The newest way to apply the lace is to have a princess shape of some suitable material, and this overlaid swith a flat trimming, neither flounce nor band, but shaped in with the skirt so that it lays smooth over the foundation. The flounce, or whatever one might call it, is about 20 inches deep all around, and it curves upward to the waist in front. The handsomest of these new laces is called luxeuil, and it has a heavy design, and this emphasized still more by a thick silk cord outlining the pattern much like that in escurial. These made skirt pieces have sometimes a narrow line of fine steel beading to mark the joining. There is a fichu or some other lace design for the waist and sleeves. Where the dress is ligLt poplin, organdie or silk in one of the tints of the season the lace is pure white. Where the dress is of white or silver gray the lace is ivory. A very

TIMKLT COSTUMES.

beautiful design has the deep flounce part of whito over a sage green linon. Where it joins the skirt is a row of delicate embroidery in colored silks, representing eglcutine. The upper part of the skirt has tiny branches of buds scattered over it. The waist is a plain French design with a deep fichu collar. There are very many more gowns in this style, but one marked thing about them all is that they are made with a demitrain. Here they will be worn for hot summer days mostly on piazzas or in gardens.

Nun's veiling is a new old friend. Those now offered are arranged so that the lower part of the skirt has a lacelike effect embroidered over the surface. Nun's veiling in the dainty late summer colors is very delicate and beautiful. Lavender is anew blue between a cadet and a true blue. It trims exquisitely, the lavender seeming to have the quality of setting up any trimming. And it can be worn by old or young. After the lavender come the blues, and they are all military shades. Beige, biscuit, orange, shell pink, lilao, all the golden shades of brown and steel and silver gray are among the newest colors. Ladies will not only have "a brown taste in their mouths" this season, but brown of every shade from fox to seal. The children look especially pretty in brown. One notices suddenly that they are all wearing brown stockings, brown hats and brown jackets, also sashes and ribbons over their pretty white frocks.

There is the daintiest new ohifTon called broche, though why "broche" I cannot tell, but it is smoother, tougher and silkier than the old chiffon. This has a fancy edge and can be used for veils, vests or flounces. It is in all the colors. Some of it has embroidered edges, and that makes it doubly valuable, as so much can be done with it. It can be bunched up anyhow and no matter how it is it always looks pretty. Black lace of all kinds is to be worn all through late summer for outdoors and on handsome silks for indoors. Panels, plastrons, ruffles, straight pieces, boleros and applique pieces are all to be very fashionable and soon. Chantilly and tho finer laces are, while not entirely out of favor, not so stylish as the heavy guipures, Venetians, Irish guipure and the luxeuil. Mrs. Frank Leslie has apiece of old Venetian point, and I would be afraid to state its value, but its rare beauty is wonderful when you think of the millions of "points" putin it. This she has over a skirt of soft old rose faille, though it is BO arranged that it can be transferred to ornament another gown in ten minutes.

There are some awfully cunning little short jackets for outing suits for midsummer, and these will be also worn into the fall months. The jacket is double breasted and cut scarcely an inch below the waist It flares just the least little bit in the world on the hips and bock. There are reven and ruffles around them on some and on others just a plain stitched flat rever oollar. It is in the strict tailor make that the principal chic lies. Plaid Shetland wool is a very stylish material for full suits now or only jackets.

I think checks and plaids of all descriptions will go through next season again. Short basque jackets are very much in favor, in dark self colors and also in the doll plaids. Regular little cutaway coats are made with tailor suit*. These have vests. Postilion jacket basques are seen very often now, taking the place of many ugly blouses. Doable skirts seem to be among the coming events whose shadows have already been east before. OLIVE HARPER.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.

From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinfrharn.

The following letter to Mrs. Pinkham from Mrs. M. RAJSK, No, 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., is a remarkable statement of relief from utter discouragement. She says:

I never can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me.

Some years ago I had womb trouble and doctored for along time, not seeing any improvement. At times I would feel well enough, and other times was miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hysteria, was very nervous could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone.

Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured. 1 continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I determined to try it, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, 'Thank God for such a medicine.'"

Mrs. Pinkham Invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice. All such letters are seen and answered by women only.

FORTRESS MONROE.

WAR TALK AND INCIDENTS ON THE VOYAGE TO THAT RESORT.

Its Sterner Military Aspeet at the Present Time—Challenging a Peaceful Literary Visitor—The War Has Ruined the Coasting: Trade.

S [Special Correspondence.]' I FORT MONROE, Va., July 4.—By going to sea you can escape the war extra, but not the spirit of war. It sails with you. Old Neptune is on the staff of Mars. He keeps his trident at a "carry arms." The passengers on the transatlantic and coast steamers leaving Ne'.V York hardly cease to hear the shrill cry of "Wux-tre-e-el Wux-tre-e-e!" when new manifestations of the fact that the nation is at war greet them.

We are now passing through the mine fields," said the second offioer as the steamer entered the Narrows.

He said it solemnly and impressively. We on the after deck were duly impressed. The fact that underneath the steamer's keol, perhaps rubbing against her sides and nodding to each other with the churn of the screw, were great cans full of gun cotton and other explores, enough to blow us all to kingdom oome, was brought forcibly home to us. The talk and tJie laughter died out at the words. The officer seemed satisfied with the effoct of his announcement and moved forward to repeat it to another careless, unthinking crowd. "What are mines, paw?" piped a youngster who had been doing his best to fall overboard. "Paw," somewhat embarrassed by the silence of the rest of us as we waited for his definition, explained. He said a mine was a barrel filled with powder and ready to blow up when anything hit it "See. there's one now, Harold," and Harold gazed awectrioken at a harmless white can buoy that fobbed overside.

Another war manifestation was the presence of a volunteer army officer. He was on his way to Ohickamauga to join his regiment. Judging from outside appearances his rush to aid his country had been delayed by engagements with his tailor and barber. He was immaculate. He was also tall and imposing. "He muF1 be a general," whispered the fat woman behind me to her husband. I didn't believe he was a general, but after dinner, when I asked Jbim to join our whist game in the forward saloon, I addressed him as colonel at a hazard. He seemed pleased, but declined. "I havo too much on my mind," he said. Then I glanced at his shoulders and noticed the blank straps of a second lieutenant. Doubtless he thought I would suppose he was planning the Cuban campaign, but I knew he was smiling over my head at the lone young woman with the lorgnette. Mars took a vacation tha+ evening, for when I turned in at 11:15 they were still enjoying each other's society on the deserted after deck.

Early in the morning we saw some men who hare not yet tired of war extras. They were the crew of the winter quarter lightship, that lonely red hulk that lies off the Maryland shore. Three of them rowed out in a boat to pick up the papers which the second mate toyed overboard as we passed.

War does not appeal to the steamer men as an altogether enjoyable state of affairs. "It has knocked the bottom cut

which Jhere is a deal of mystery. It is said some new disappearing guns are being planted in new sand pits.

In other days the hotel guests were allowed to go almost anywhere within the fortifications. Today it is different. I had been here but two hours before I was twice challenged by sentries. I appreciated the sensation highly

No one here seriously believes th»t the government will order the destruction of the big hotels, as has been rumored, but they tell strangers they expect the order to come any day. A resident solemnly assured me that when the Ohamberlain, that magnificent pile of briok and brownstone and plate glass, was built a keg of powder was placed under each foundation pier. He added that the fuses were all ready to touch off should a Spanish fleet appear off the capep This is interesting. It would bo more interesting if it were true.

Besides the sunset gun we have "taps," for several companies of Maryland volunteers are camped outside the fort and almost under the hotel windows. Even after dark we are not allowed to forget the war, for the big searohlight on the fort plays until late at night if not until morning, sending quick, restless glances out over the bay and persistently prying into the wind driven clouds as if the men operating it believed there were Spanish fleets as well as Spanish castles in the air.

The Milk In the Coeoannt.

Every boy knows the three eyes to be found in one end of a cocoanut, and many a boy has bored these eyes out, or one or two of them, with the small blade of a pocketknife so as to get at the milk in the cocoanut, which he has then drained out into a cup or drunk direct from the cocoanut itself. But there is a more fascinating way still of getting at the milk in the cocoanut.

By this other method tho cocoanut is opened at the other end from the eyes. The cocoanut is struck all around gently and repeatedly with a hammer or a stone will do, at a distance of about onethird of the way down from the top, about where the arctic circle would be on a globe.

A continual gentle tapping will finally crack the shell of the nut all around not in a line exactly on the circle perhaps, but pretty near to it Sometimes it cracks shell and meat of the nut, too, so that both can be lifted off together sometimes it cracks out only a shell cap at the top, whioh is lifted off, and the cap of meat underneath is then cut out around with a knife.

And then there you are with the white lined cocoanut cup to drink from. •—New York Sun.

"I wonder," said Ethel, "if, astronomically speaking, Uncle Henry's son is in the right sign for ice cream soda?" i, "I'm afraid not," replied Gwendolen with her eye on the youth. "I don't see any signs of the soda act"

Jack groaned and marched them fiercely past the drug store by way of punishment—Chicago Tribune.'
