Is on its own bicycle and indulges in
amicable greetings,
But to proceed directly to fashionable
cycling dress. Every style from the se-
verely plain to the very showy is cater-
ed to by fashion, with a decided lean-
ing toward the latter. Cycling costume
closely follows the fashion of Use tailor
rnade street suit; consequently it is al-
most needless to say that elaborate
braiding, lines of stitched cording, tucks,
cloth strappiogs, white satin and moire
faoings and revers are in pronounced
evidence.
While the norfolk and plain double
or single breasted ooats of some length
remain always useful and corset:it,
stylish jackets of many variations rule
the wheel. There are much braided
boleros and short coats with fancy re-
vers and multitudinous stitchings and
oordings. A favorite style of coat has
long revers opening to the waist line to
show a checked -waistcoat or a tucked,
corded or frilled shirt.
A costume which seems to strike a
• happy medium between the extremes of
styles is shown in the first out. It is an
effective arrangement in brown cloth,
• the coat belted in at the waist with
bleak braid fastened with a steel buckle,
• and the collar and revers faced with
black moire and turning back from a
vest of soft silk in a tiny black and
white check, a cravat bow of the same
being tied at the neck. The hat which
accompanies it in the sketch is carried
out in the black and white gem binaaion
the deft arrangement of checked silk
and wings showing how a very simple
trimming can secure a stylish appear-
ance. -
Another appeal to the love of pretty
things, which woman does not lose
when she takes to the wheel, is found
in the new shirts for warm weather use
with cycling shirts. Ivory white in
color of very soft fine flannel is one
model, with just a kilted bow of tender
yellow silk at the neck ; the front is ar-
ranged in many little tucks, divided in
the center by a plain plait, while the
plaits at either side are tucked also -
altogether a very pretty thiug.
Another and somewhat elaborate style
of shirt can be made in silk of any color,
but a particularly charming example ie

tween our warships and several thousand
Spanish troops, whtch lined the shore
and lay eoneealed behind improvised

Regan, of the Marblehead, was killed
outright in ono of the working small

S. E. Maguire ot the Windom believes
that several of the six badly -wounded

ashore, but It was not known that the
heavy guns had been placea in a masked
battery and that the old lighthouse, far
oue on a nook of land, had been trans-
formed into a formidable fort. The small
boats proceeded cautiously, and, for more
than an hour, worked unmolested on tho
cable. Suddenly, just as the work was
about completed, the shore battery fired
a shell at tho boats, It Was f0110Wed by

fire with their rifles. 'Xhon, like a flash,

The attack, had come suddenly and fierce-

mayed., and, proteotea by the territht fire
of the ships, work was continued and the
cable was out. Wben the boats returned
to the ships, Regan, who was in one of
the Marblehead's boats, of which there
wore two, was found to have been killed
and six men were seen to be beclly
wounded. The Spaniards had by this
time suftered severe loss. Their shote
from the lighthouse struck the warships
several tluaes, and, although they did not
do much deniers°, the fire aroused the
determination of the Amerlean officers to
extermitato the fort. Therefore, for the
moment, the fire of the warships was
conceutrated upon the lighthouse and the
improvised fort was blown to pieces. As
there were great numbers of Spaniards
in and behind the fort at the time, there

The Spanish Version.
London, May 16. -The Spanish embas-
sies in Europe are circulating an official
despatch saying attempted landings at
Cardenas and Cienfuegos have been "re-
pulsed with loss to the Americans." The
despatch adds that the American fleet
has been much datnaged and forced to
retire from San Juan de Porto Rico be-
fore the severe fire of the forts, one vessel
being towed away.

Madrid, May 16. -An official despatch
received here from Havana, says: "Since
daybreak Friday five of the enemy's ships
have attempted to cover landings at vari-
ous points, but tbe Americans were re-
pulsed and forced to reatinbark their
troops. As there were no Spanish ships
available, the troops followed along the

and prevented their attempts to land.
"Two Americans were •captured, a
Spanish officer was killed and a few
soldiers were wounded.

of the highest praise, as they foueht the

3111. OLADSTONIt'S CONDITION.
The Aged Patient Is Caribie to Take Suf-
acacia Food to Maintain Strength.
London, May 16.-A. spool/al • table to
the New York Sun says: Mr. Gladstone's
physicians heid a consultation this even-
ing at Hawarden, after which the follow-
ing bulletin was issued:
"Mr. Gladstone passed it fair night and
was comparatively free froze pain. There
is evidence of increastng weakness and
failure of the circulation,"
Mr. John Morley Saturday afternoon
and Lad Banbury the same evening
visited their old leaaer and bade him fare-
well. .A.fterteard Lord liondel, a life-long
friend of tbe dying statesman, visited
hire. Lord Bendel said he never expected
to see Mr. Gladstone alive again.
The condition of air. Gladstone is
hourly becoming graver, and he is near-
ing the end of his buffering. There bas
been no sudden advance in the heal dis-
ease, but it now development in his gen-
eral condition is showing itself, the fail-
ure of the circulation, as announced in
Saturday night's bulletin. Those fresh
symptoms create fears of a possible sud-
den collapse.
inability to take sufficient food is the
main cause of Mr. Gladstone's growing
weakness. Though he is occasionally
delirious, he is usually in full possession
of his senses.
Ho faces the future with beautiful for-
titude anti serenity. The racking pain,
which, however, the physicians bave been
latterly able to assuage, has produced a
calm wiliingness, ahnost anxiety, to sur-
render the burden of life. He continues
to be most solicitous for his wife, family
and friends.
The other day, after listening to a reso.
lution of sympathy and affection passed
by a foreign press association, he said:
"I charge you to convoy my never -ceas-
ing gratitude, though I am myself In
extremis.''

night Mr. Gladstone's oondition showed
no perceptible change.

Another familiar legend has been rele-

is a question if there will be anything
left for the next generation to pin its
Intuit to. This time it is the "Prisoner of

school girl. in the cell where the "Pri-
soner languished so long there was
thown a circle WOrll in the stones by his
feet in walking round and round a pillar

of the members of the Grand Council of
Vaud, was horrified to find that, in re-
paving the cell, the "Chemin de Boni -
yard," one of the souvenirs and attrac-

brought the matter before the council,
and was chagrined to learn that the
famous track had not been made by tae
