Jlfbe matter rente where it has for | two days, and is a semi official report r coming to the department, but from a :source believed to be reliable. It from parties having relations with the navy department aad io a position to be accurately advised, at ill the authorities are very anxious to gave the report officially coo firmed by one of ibe American commanders. Naval officers are now turning tbeir atleotio* to inquiries whether it is possible lot Admiral Oervera to rd ' out of Santiago harbor, Tliey hold that this is impossible, and being so, tbs career of the Spanish navy is at an •nd, so far as it constituted a menace against our ships It Is said that thia is not mere opin* ion, but that naval manoeuvers were carried on at Key West and Tortugas a few months ago which furnish a pos itive demonstration that Admiral Cer veraa cannot make an exit without be ing discovered. An officer who was on board one of the American ships during the Tor tu fas movements says a ebam night at tack of torpedo boats was made upon the big battleships and cruteere. ■ The latter were given bo notice t ht the projected attack, and there wee tty extra guard meh as the Amoridan ehipe now main taiwr—Ret every tbb ,pedo boat engaged in the attack v»> discovered long before it was within, .striking distance of the cruisers and battleships- - One of the attacking torpedo boats was so bewildered by the search lights that it nearly ran into a cruiser} The lesson drawn from this attack was that a night sally by an enemy was impossible, owing to the modern methods of discovering the approach. Taking everything into account, naval officers feel that Admiral Oerve ra committed a fatal blunder in being trapped at Santiago, and that there, is no fear that the trap will prove inade quate to bold him. It is stated on good authority that the plan of the government _is to in vade Porto Rico before the occupation of Cuba. Twenty-five thousand sol diers will be landed bn the island as soon as possible. Dispatches from Madrid say there are renewed sinister predictions of an impending revolution in Spain, and the queen regent has been advised to leave the country. This she declines to do. The Madrid papers are urging that , all American cable connection across the Atlantic be cut if the Cuban cables are aevered. O /Vtei... OMUL. he- / . Deafness Cannot be Cursd by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafhess, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous fining ot the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur fhces.

The day preceding tbe formal cere monies is ob served as a general ho’id ay, devoted to festivities and amusements, and to welcoming the heir. The town is ear ly filled with people from the sur rounding country, and by the time set for tbe coming of the distinguished guest the streets are thronged with an expectant multitude. As tbe train draws into the station the thundering boom of a cannon announces its arrh val, and in a few moments the honor ed descendant of the Baron appears in an open carriage preceded by a baud Os appropnale re-1 ligious exercises, with music 'and ad dresses, tbe simple yet beautiful and touching ceremony of paying tbe rent is performed in the church on tbe fol lowing day. Every space, every nook within tbe church is filled with a lux uriant mass of red roses, and through tbe open windows peep the blossoms of tbe rose vines that climb and clus ter on the outside wall. In tbe nemo and in behalf of the congregation the minister takes from its silver chalice the rose that has been specially select ed for tbe purpose because of its transcendent beauty and fragrance, and presents it to the heir of Baron Stiegel in discharge of the obligation required by the deed. The recipient takes tbe rose, and in a few remarks acknowledges tbe payment of the debt.” A Beal Nloa Girl. An Incident the past winter of a would be fashionable young woman illustrates the means to which some pretentious belles think themselves put to secure enjoyment and masculine attention. She Is not, one is pleased te say, a wom an who works nor one really gentle. She Is the sort who could not think of going anywhere short of the Waldorf to dine nor dream of speaking with an acquaintance unfashionably dressed. It was the man himself who afterward told the story. Not to another woman—that would be mean— but to a man. Os course he had no objec tions to telling IL so it got about generally. Miss Pretense never had met the man before, but she had known his brother a few winters. When she met the man, she said before long: “What are you going to do on Monday evening!” Anticipating a bidding to dinner at least, he assured her that he had no-en gagement. She beamed and said that was delight ful. “Your brother told me that you were intending to invite me to the opera,” she cooed. “I can go on Monday Right.” Some men would have bolted, but- this one flustered. ‘Yes, certainly—charmed. ” Next day he sent tbe opera house plan to her and asked her to select seats. She chose two in the fifth row from the stage —go each. On Monday evening the man arrived in good time. Tbe lady was in full toilet, but slightly cool in demeanor. “The flowers have not come yet,” she remarked sternly. He had not sent any. But he took the cue and said it was a shame. On the way to the opera house he ordered the casriage stopped at the most expensive florist’s, went in and bought an armful of violets for her highness. After tbe opera they dropped into the Astoria for an *8 luncheon. But tbe friend of tbe man says you ought to hear the man himself tell of that experience. No one else, he maintains, oan do it justice.—New York Press.

There ii never a time in the life of an animal tr ner when ho is absolutely safe, bub these nen learn to forget their dan ger, for It lecomes as much a part of their daily lives is eating or sleeping. Take the case of a elephant man, for instance. One swin of that huge trunk, one thrust of the bigßusk or one misstep of the pon derous foto would send him to his death. There is sways within reach the power to kill him, atad often the desire, but he keeps his elenhnts afraid of him all the time, and they Mare not de what they might like. f Perhap the most Interesting trained performs , because of the apparent dan ger that unwinds them, are the lions, tigers ant leopards. One trainer used to go into i steel barred cage with lions, tigers and -leopards and make them form pyramids He would He down on them and takq all kinds of liberties with the dangerou creatures. But there were in variably : alf a dozen other keepers near , the cage with rawhide whips, hot irons and pisto ( close at hand in case of trou ble. Ev< i then there were several in- • stances off the animals turning on him, and in otfe case—that of the big Hon Wal lace—thimhowman had his arm badly in jured befjre he could be rescued. The sedfet of handling all beasts of the cat specla, so the animal trainers say, is to keep Item constantly afraid of you. The insttnt they get over their fear they will attain any one who crosses their path. Thoy arciall treacherous, too, and often gather ffiurage for an attack when the maater’rayes are turned away from them, although’they would not dare revolt if he faced them. The tigers are the worst of the whole Ipt too. One never knows when they will-get over their fear and spring at the keeper from behind.—Harper’s Bound THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Bvbvp Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
