30. We "nh In Virginia shoo enough"
tonight, a dellKhtful night. The Thir
teenth, every man happy, hnle and
hearty, Bleeps beneath canvas In the
Jillls of Fairfax county, 17." miles dis
tant from Gretna's muddy mount,
where they last night wooed the sopor
file God.
It Is unnecessary to say It rained as
Boon cis the regiment loft the train;
that the Thirteenth expected. It was
n light ehovver nnd only lasted for an
hour. The first section of the train
reached Dunn Lorlng Point at 4 o'clock
nnd the second section followed an
hour later, the trip being devoid of a
single accident or unpleabant Incident
and being marked from beginning to
end by an almost continuous ovation.
At Harrlsburg Governor Hastings
mot the boys and, nftor greeting the
officer", walked the length of the train,
shaking the hundreds of hands ex
tended to him through the car win
dows. Yoik turned out en mass to cheer
the soldleis onward. Every cross-road
had a group of llag-wavlng women and
loudly cheering men. Factories and
mills along the railroad tooted their
whistles and the workmen rushed to
the windows to wave a God-speed.
Even the navvies along the tracks
stopped long enough to doff their hats.
HALTIMOUD RECEPTION.
At Enltlmore the reception was not
of a demonstiatlve character, both sec
tions of the train coming unheralded
and stopping only long enough to take
on big tanks of steaming hot coffee
onlered In advance by Quartermaster
Cox. Travel lotions, consisting of
bread and ennned goods, were Issued
and between Baltimore and Washing
ton the boys enjoyed their dinner.
Washington was reached at .1.30.
The trains were switched to the South
ern railway and did not get Into the
heart of the city. Many people from
the "mall," however, hurried over to
the train and cheerily gteeted the ol
dlerfe. The glils gave them red, white
nnd blue ribbons nud received In re
turn hamples of Kelly's conglomerate.
The tun to Falls Chuich was very
of Pennsjlvnnla and the Eight of Ohio

GRETNA ALMOST DESERTE".
Only Three Regiments Cntnpod on

Mount Gretna. Pa., May 19. -Three
regiments and the rirst battalion of
the Second regiment bade farewell to
day to Camp Hastings. The first to
move was the Thirteenth regiment,
Colonel Coursen, which began packing
canvas caily and boarded the cars for
Falls Church, Va,, before noon.
The Twelfth, Colonel Coryell, moved
late this afternoon for the same place
The First battalion of the Second regi
ment, under Colonel Porter, left about
noon for Wilmington, Del , where the
powder works there will be guarded
The last to get off was the Sixth regi
ment, Colonel Schall. It was about 7
o'clock tonight when this command left

GOSSIP OF THE CAMP.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Camp Daniel II. Hastings, Mt. Gi et
na, May 19. Blanco may as well make
his will. Yesterday morning, while
waiting for the Lebanon train the war
correspondents, every one of whom ex
pects to get to Cuba fell to discussing
the arrest of Thrull and Jones and
Hlanco's avowed Intention of treating
them ns spies. There wus great In
dignation expressed and after a sug
gestion had been made that some ac
tion should be taken In the matter, It
was proposed that every man present
take a vow to avenge the threatened
outiage. This was henrtlly agreed to
und eveiy coi tespondent present vith
uplifted hand swore that In ease
'lhrnll and Jones were executed he
would shoot Hlnncn on night. The
wife of ,i Philadelphia newspaperman
who was standing by, asked to be ton
sldered ns a membet of the vengeance
committee.
Lebanon will toss up a penny with
Itself to see whether or not It Is glnd
the soldiers nie going. The encamp
ment has been a great source of rev -enue
to the town, but this beneficence
has almost been counterbalanced by
the annoyance that the mlschevious
loving soldier lads have cfiused In the
quiet, peace-loving Pennsylvania Dutch
community. The foraging I have
spoken of In a pievlous letter. Suffice
it heie to mention some of their capers
On the road between Gretna nnd Leb
anon Is a farm house, which everybody
who has traveled that way notices,
because of a large sign on the gate
announcing "Cioss dog, keep out"
The proof of the assertion Is very much
in evidence Just Inside the gate when
nnjbody approaches. A quartette of
so'dler.s who had run the guard lines
nnd were walking to Gretna to avoid
the guards on the trains, saw the sign
a'ld to make a long story short stole
the dog.
One sunny nfternoon a tired and
bedraggled soldier planted himself in
a large.handsomely upholstered rbeker,
displayed In front of n furniture store
on Columbus street. In a short time
he was fast asleep. The proprietor
put up with the thing for about half
an hour, but thing of it eventually,
he woke up Mr. Soldier and told him
to "get out of there." In a very gruff
voice. The soldier was enjoying, pos
sibly, his Ilrst good sleep since leav
ing home and when he was mdely
aroused he was, as may be Imagined,
mad to the core With a volley of
oaths he made nt the fuinituie man
and drove him through the store nnd
out the back way. Then returning
Mi. Soldier put the rocket on his back
and marched off An horn later a po
liceman found him fast asleep In his
portable bed in the stable yard behind
a hotel He was allowed to go after
returning the chali nnd explaining to
th ftor-'repper that "It was how ho
was wa.klnF In his sleep."

SCENES AT THE OREAT "UAL DE
MASCOitA."
From tho Washington Star.
One Is contlnunlly lemlnded In Ha
vana of the oriental ancestry of Its
Spanish Inhabitants. Tiie home Is east
ern in architecture, with Its open cen
tral court, IU Hat roof or azatca. (vvhero
the family spends the evening hours),
and tho fountain splashing its water
on surrounding flowers. This Is tha
house of the better classes, having mas
sive walls of stone, and maintaining
a seclusion, wrapped In an nlr of mys
tery, as deep ns that enveloping the
harem of any Turk in Carlo or Con
stantinople. The characteristics of the family,
nlso, are oriental, bearing the Impress
of tho Aiabs who conquered Spain a
thousand years ago, nnd who lived
seven long centuries In the Iberian pen
insula. The Cuban home life. In fact,
differs In no particular from that ol
Spain nnd Mexico, but It Is very dlfll
cult for a stranger to obtain even a
gllmp.se of the Hlspano-Amerlcan gy
naeceum It Is not done by vvhlllng
awny the time at the Gian Hotel In
glaterra. or the Paseje, nor even by
lounging In the Paique Isabel, or visit
ing tho Tneon theater. In the writer's
experience it was obtained primarily
by engaging quartern at n Spanish
boaidlng house of the higher grade. In
a dignified row of houses on the Prndo.
Meeting at table several "solteros,"
or bachelors, like myself editors of
papers, attaches at the captain gener
als office she was brought In con
tact with some of the best people In
Havana. Hut even then no Invitation
lued for visiting the casa of any of
their acquaintances, for the taking of
a stranger with one to call on a friend
at his home Is considered a bleach of
prlv Ilegc However, there was a bright
young lady of German-American par
entage also boarding at the house, who
was In love with a Spanish gentleman,
w ho had a nice-looking cousin, who
wasn't In love with Hnbody In par
ticular, but who kindly consented to
accompany her male relative In his fre
quent calls at the "casa huespedes"
to use the more elegant Spanish term
for boarding house Now, If the read
er can make out from this lather-ln-volved
explanation that the little cousin
who, though very pretty withal, and
extetemely Intel estlng, was yet consld
eied by the lovers romtnvhat In tho
way, It will be understood how It camo
about that the writer. In the klndnes
of his heart, took the Cubana out to
the balcony and engaged her attention
while the lovera held their tete-a-tete
In the parlor.
ALIKE THE WORLD OVER.
A disinterested act like this wrought
Its own rewatd, for fiom his fair Inter
lncutrlce the writer obtained a deal of
Information not tot down In the books,
and eventually his Introduction Into
the home of her family Women at
heart are pretty much all alike, the
world over, their differences being for
the most pnit, supeiflclal Sometimes
one will unburden herself to a com
parative stranger, or rather talk more
fiedy to him than she might to one of
her own nationality, especially where
nn Incomplete acquaintance with each
other's language infers a simplicity
that does not exist.
Be that as It may, the balcony inter
v lews were very enjoyable, to one who,
ever In search of Information, welcom
ed any addition to his stock of knowl
edge from whatever source It might
come. The conveiatIons quite easily
turned on love and tho exceeding fool
ishness of lovers In genet al, and the
query naturally aiose whether there
were reallj nny differences In the man
ner of love-nmklng, ns practiced by our
respective nationalities. The subject
was Heated in a purely tentative way.
for our mutual instiuetlon merely, and
jet there was a modicum of Interest
attaching to the proceeding which it
will not be nece'-saty to detail,
In Cuba, nt In Spain, the lovei rarely
sees his inamorata alone, and in case
he does, It Is the result of nceldent or
design on the part of those most Intei
ested. The mother, or aunt, or else
some trustworthy member of the fam
ily, is alwa.vs present; indeed, the
joung man may consider himself par
ticulate privileged if he be allowed en
trance te the house oven He generally
compromises by clinging like a bat to
the hars of his lady love's giated win
dovv, and making frantic eftoits to selzo
her hand Do not shudder, gentle lead
ei, for the bars are strong, and the
walls not an inch less than two feet
thick This fact the "novio" frequently
bewails. In most Impassioned accents,
sometimes accompanying himself on a
cracked guitar or mandolin.
LOVE IN POETRY.
The writer made the discovers per
haps not an original one that the
Cuban lover, like his Saxon sympa
thizer, frequently drops Into poesy as
a means of relieving the pressure on
his overburdened heart. The stock
poetry of lovers Is about the same in
both languages, EngllBh and Spanish,
differing mainly In having n different
tag on It, one quoting Byron or Tom
Moore, perchance, and the other well,
some author of celebrity In Espana
Sometimes, as In this country his fellow-sufferer
does, he strives to be orig
inal, and then oh, je gods!
Even his prose takes a tinge of
poetry, ns shown by this example ex
tracted fiom a oung lady'8 album of
orpo and sentiment.
"Angel of light! Flower horn In
heaven and watered by angels' tears!
Pardon me that I even uttempt to
utter with these profane lips thy sacred
name! it Is not a song only that I
would fain offer thy delicate ears, but
a blessing, a benediction; a feeblo ef
fort. It Is true, but as pure ns thy
beauty, as enthusiastic as the soul of
jouth, since to sing thy manifold
graces woithllv, I confess It would be
necessar) to hire a choir of angels und
u heavenly harp!
"It Is not possible for a mere mortal,
who has only received from on high a
heart receptive, a soul responsive, to
bask in the (lame of thy beauty with
out being consumed with admiration,
with veneration, and et with Bad
ness!" And so on until the courtship Is com
pleted and wedding bells ring out tho
knell of poesy and passion perhaps.
Each country has its tyie of beauty,
each type is the Uiemo of enthusiastic
writers has been from time Imme-

I suffered with Eciomi of the worst kind,

and not one of them could rclloverr.e of my

morlnl. The tpe of Cuba Is also that
ot Spain, the mother country. Bru
nettes prevail and blondes are the
rarity. The large ejes black as night,
the peachblovv complexion (nature as
sisted and Improved), hair abundant,
dark and glossy ns n raven's wing;
gracefully molded, voluptuous form
these atributes of Spanish beauty have
not changed during all the three hun
dred years of Spanish domination.
Within the walls of a small structure
near the captain general's palace Is a
historical painting of a century ugo,
depleting the celebration of the first
mans in Havana. The artist took his
subject from the then existing nobil
ity of the Island, and In complexion
tint, cast of dellcnte feature, contour,
attitude, we may find duplicates among
tho ladles of Havana today.
USE POWDER UNSPARINGLY.
The ladies do not veil their faces, to
be Bute, llko the oriental odalisques,
though they protect them with powder,
unsparingly and unblushlngly applied.
Visit any school in the land nnd you
w ill find teacher and scholar alike
wearing this mask of beauty. Even tho
pupils of the art schools, as well as
the workwomen In the cigar shops, ue
the powdery piotectlon against tho
sun's lays. On evei easel In the art
academy and on the bench by the side
of every woman engaged In rolling cig
arette or cigar lies a little box of pow
der and a i.ibblt's foot Tlieie is noth
ing unusual In this public use of the
article, Hlnce its application Is so uni
versal, thioush lung eu.stom, and all
ladles legard it as an Indespenslble
adjunct of the toilet, nnd alsolutely
necessary to make them attractive,
which Is or should be their highest am
bition. The range of houehold occupations
Is not large, consisting chiefly of em
broidery and needle vv irk. In the high
er vocations few of them are employed,
though now and then one attains to
local distinction In sculpture or paint
ing. Prohibited pUa-uires are many,
nnd those In which women may Indulge
very few Indeed. It la during the car
nival season they are .allowed thegreat
est privileges. The- carnival, or the
farewell festival to the flesh (to Inter
pret literally, the term, "carne vale"),
though of Roman origin, ha been en
thusiastically adopted by all tho Latin
Americans. Havana Is full of churches
and on Sundajs the churches are full
of women and children, with here and
there a man, whom, lr you would find,
you must seek at the clubs and on the
plazas In the afternoon, or at the cock
pit betting on his favorite birds.
UAL DE MASCARA
While all carnival days ate happy
ones, filled with lejolclngs and lelax
atlon, it la the last Sunday of the
"fiesta," the last night before Shrove
Tuesday, that Is looked forward to
with the keenest anticipation by the
fair sex, for on that night takes place
the great "bat de mascara," or mas
querade, ball at which no member of
the Cuban "four hundred' will fall
to ho piesent In Havana the scene
of this event is usually the gnat hall
of the Spanish caelno, brilliant with
mirrors and gliding ana decorated with
flowers for the occasion. For the time
being true democracy prevails, as tho
ladles only are marked, and so have
the men at their mercy Many amus
ing contietemps have happened theie,
and the writer recalls with some chag
lln, even at this late day, how me cl
lestfly he himself was ildiculed for
making prov IMonal love to a domino
he felt suie was his landlady's pretty
daughter, and who turned out to be
her mamma.
When you first enter a ball loom, ns
nt the fiesta of the mascara, you will
find tho ladles banked against the
walls, like laie and beautiful flowers
on exhibition, as It were, while the
gentlemen are bunched together In
group', nervously pulling rt their
gloves and mustaches, awaiting some
daring gallant to lead the asault When
once that Is done the fun waxes fns"t
and furious, and continues until early
morning, when the maidens, with their
escorts, retire to their homes They

after they havo been persuaded to un

cent to the hall their partners of the
sterner sex Indulge in unlimited be
bldos of champagne.
FUN REIGNS SUPREME.
Wine then flows like water literally,
not only Into the eagerly-held-out
glasses, but across tho floor and Into
tho hall. Hut, In that beneficent cli
mate, vvhero man Is nothing If not eu
dorlfcrous, few find themselves any
tho worse for the Indulgence. And, ex
cept In time of war, llko the puwent,
though there may be some swelled
heads In tho morning, there nici not
many quarrelsome subjects. It 's thus
high and low, beggars nnd both Bexes,
wind up tho carnival with ono grand
outburst of revelry, and then settle
themselves down for the forty dnys of
Lent, with Its fasting and morUflcutlon
of the flesh,
Thcro are doubtless many sad hnnits
now In Havana, many families with
some member missing, fighting on on"
side or tho other. There tire siHtets,
sweethearts, wives, as well as active
combatants, within the walls of Ha
vana; many an anxious face petrlng
over the balcony rails of the I'rado,
watching the soldiers go by to their
camps In the suburbs. We do not war
against women and chlldien, and In
tho bombardment of Cuba's capital, let
us hope wo shall reduce It by shelllnff
Morro, Cabanas, Atares, and the sur
rounding fortifications, leaving the res
idential portion of tho city intact.

MON3TEKH OT THE DEEP.
Figures Showing tho Growth of tho
Modern Ilattlvslitp.
From the New York Times.
The first of the great British ar
mored battleships, the Thunderer, was
launched In 1872, and vvns of the un
precedented displacement of 9,330 tons.
It vvns followed In 1875 and 1876 by the
Dreadnnught, 10,820 tons, and the In
flexible, 11,880, and then there was a
reaction to smaller models on account
of the enormous weight nnd thickness
of the armor plate, which ran up to
18 Inches or more In 1884 the large
size was attained again In the Rod
ney, 10,300 tons, and 1887 tho Trafal
gar, of 11,910 tons, wa3 launched. With
the Improvement of armor plate by tho
Haivey process and the mixture of
nickel with steel, the thickness of tho
belts vvns reduced to 9 Inches, and at
the same time with strongei explosives
and Improved projectiles and gun con
stiuctlon, and caliber of oidnance has
been reduced to 12 or 10 Inches with In
ci eased effect, and as a consequence n
larger displacement has become prac
ticable, and the latest British battle
ships ate of tho Majestic txpe, of 14,
900 tons. Foreign nations have largely
followed the British example, but
Trance, the next naval power In rank,
has never gone beyond about 12,000
tons In battleships. The Charles Mur
tel and Jaureguiberiy, launched In
1893, nre of 11,093 tons. The Bouvet,
finished In 1890, Is of 12,012, but the two
still later ones, not yet finished, tho
St. Louis nnd Gaulols, have a displace
ment of 11,097 tons. Italy, however,
beginning with the Durlllo, 11.13S tons,
as long ago as 1876, and going up to
15,900 in the Lepanto, In 18S3, kept up
the bulky hulls and heavy nimor
(though less than the enoimous maxi
mum) until within a few icUrs, but
her two newest, the Ammlrngllo dl St
Bon and the Emanuele Fllberto, are
of 9,800 tons. Their principal arma
ment Is to consist of 10-inch guns, in
place of the old 17-lnch of the Lepanto
nnd the 14-Inch of the Re Umberto, a
13,893 ton vessel built In 1888. The best
opinion now Is against the extreme
of bulk, of thickness of armor and
w eight of armament Our own first
class battleships are all recent and of
10,288 and 11,340 tons displacement.
