His second task is to prepare the Spanish government. for. the ine-. vitable, and the inevitable 13 the loss -of Cuba as a colony." The third phase of his work is the presentation of a distinct proposal from the United States as to the disposition of Cuba. President McKinley also instructed General Woodford to impress upon the public men at Madrid these vital points: 1. The United States is not acta ated by an unfriendly feeling toward SDain. 2. The United States does not desire to take advantage of Spain's troubles with her colony to bring about the annexation of Cuba to this country. 3.

Death Sentences for Himself and Bac caloa Requested. New York, June 18. A dispatch to the World from Washington says: A telegram from Senor Palma, of the Cuban junta at New York, received to night by Secretary Quesadaof the pro visional legation reads: ''Prosecuting-attorney has asked for death sentence -of -Ruiz Rivera and Baccaloa." - Steps were taken immediately to pre vent if possible the summary execu tion of such a sentence. Senator Mor gan and others were seen and their services enlisted.- Arrangements were made to have influential senators call tarly tomorrow upon Secretary Sher man to urge him to request interfer ence by the Madrid government, and a direct appeal will be made to the presi dent. It is expected that Minister Taylor will be instructed to obtain from the Madrid government assurances that the lives of the two men will be spared. Unless action is taken early in the day it is likely that Mr. Morgan will bring the matter to the attention of the sen ate by a resolution, although there is one on record already in behalf of Rivera.

The latter bad an old crack opened four inches for a length of several feet. In the interior of the latter building bricks fell and the plastering was damaged. The Salinas hotel, the Jeff rv, Abbott and Bardin houses all suffered more or less, windows being broken and the walls cracked. In the leading mer chandise houses large plate glass win dows were broken. On the residence streets chimneys were thrown down and windows smashed. The postofflce building was cracked on its front. Public halls are injured to a great ex tent. The city hall is seriously in need of plaster,- and The court house has suffered. The old brick Salinas hotel was cracked across the top.

LEAKING GAS DID IT The Basement of the Building- Filled With Gas Which Made a Ter rific Explosion. California and Mexico Bdly shaken Considerable Amount of Damage Done In San Francisco Tehu antepec Destroyed. PoitTLAND, Or., June 21. The base ment and entire lower portion of the postofSce building was wrecked by a terrific explosion of gas at 1:30 this afternoon. - ,, Patrick Moloney, the head janitor of the federal building, had a miraculous escape from death. He was severely burned about the head and arms. Wil liam Carlyle, a clerk in the stamp de partment, was the only other person hurt. He received a painful scalp wound from falling debris. Heavy damage was done to the building, and in ever; department the shock threw the employes into great confusion. Moloney's escape from death is al most past understanding. In the jani tor's storeroom in the basement t great volume of gas had accumulated from a leak, and when it was ignited from a lighted candle in the hands of a plumber there was an explosion that shook the city. Moloney was burned about the face, his eyebrows, his hair ana mustache were burned, and there were severe scalp wounds. The flesh on his hands and arms was mangled and torn until he presented a repulsive sight. The explosion knocked him down, but regaining his feet, he ran to a basement window and got out. For hours during the forenoon the odor of gas was noticed about the en tire federal building and when Janitor Moloney returned from his dinner he went into the basement to search for the leaking- Dine, and on lighting a jet the explosion occurred. The north end of the postofflce build ing presents ascene of wreckage. The plastering was torn from the walls, the casing of the stairs was ripped off, lathing split into fine kindling and all the basement windows on a level with the ground were blown out glass, frame and all. The shock was so great that the postofflce employes ran out in the wildest alarm. In the registry division of the postofflce in the north west corner the office effects were scattered all over the floor. It is singularly fortunate that it was dull time of day at the postoface build ing. Being the- noon hour,--the cor ridors were almost deserted, or there would have been numerous injuries. The flooring was. torn up and huge chunks of plastering were knocked from the ceiling and the walls. The United States mails were not injured. The concussion was heard over the entire city. A second after, great clouds of dust from the demolished plastering obscured the hallways, and as hundreds of excited people rushed to the s -one, the cry was set up that a dozen people were in the corridor at the time and had been killed. The terrible effects of the explosion were shown later as the air cleared. The door to the city delivery division in the corner of the corridor near the general delivery windows of the post office is locked with a strong lock. This door was blown off its hinges and 20 feet into the city delivery depart ment. Strange to say none of the em ployes were near it, and no one was hurt. IN THE EVENT OF WAR. Canovas Kays Spain la Capable of Blaine to the Emera-ency. New York. June 20. A dispatch from Madrid .to the Herald says: Premier Canovas declared yesterday that in the event of a conflict between the United States and Spain, the latter country was capable of rising to the emergency. General Woodford's expected ar rival awakens considerable specula tion, since, it is known here that from the date of his confirmation, he is al lowed 30 days to receive instructions, and 30 days for the journey to Madrid. Her majesty makes it an Invariable rule that foreign ministers shall neither take leave nor be presented at San Sebastian, since facilities are wanting for the requisite ceremonial and the royal family wishes complete retirement. So, normally, Mr. Wood ford cannot present his credentials until October 1, when the court re turns to Madrid.

The announce ment of this fact has aroused public opposition, which the Madrid press is inflaming. The news papers blame the government for allowing Ruiz to be killed, but censure it most for acknowl edging it. They say Spain is "under the iron heel of the Yankees."

TRUE WHEN WRITTEN.TS? but' Tim Brought Changes at the Ram mer Resort. I was attracted to a place in Virginia, near tne Atlantic ocean, -where tne combined advantages of surf bathing and an absence of mosquitoes .were ad vertised, says a writer in the Washing ton Star. The surf bathing was there, but there were never more or larger mosquitoes than infested the place. The landlord was a leader in the church and made a great point of his conscientiousness, so I questioned him about the insects: 'Mosquitoes worse this year than usual?" I asked.'--- - ; 'Beckon not. They gen'ally bite purty sharp this season of they'ar." f 'Are there always this many here 7" 'Erbout some gits killed, but don't seem ter make no difference." "Didn't you advertise that the placs was free from mosquitoes?" "Sartin. I alius do, an' ef ther war a single ekeeter here I'd say so. I never lied yit, an I never shall.

Mom to Malts ths Popular Uook-Sbapad Kind. , Th simple, always popular, book shaped frames, to hold, two, four, six or even more photographs, are useful. They may be covered with almost any kind of material, though of course thfa handsomer the material chosen, the more dainty the results will be. These frames may be closed like a book to lie on a table, thereby takTng the place of the obsolete album, or they may , be extended screen fashion, partly open so as to exhibit ths pictures they con-' tain. It is almost necessary to buy the foundations for these frames, as it is nearly impossible for a' novice to cat out the cardboard and have it perfect ly exact, and unless they are exact they are not at all pretty. The founda tions are sold for a few cents apiece, and consist of two pieces of heavy card board for each division or leaf of the book. Tho back and front are the nme in size, eight inches by Bix, but the front piece has an opening 5 inches by 3 for the picture. For a frame capable of holding four pictures, eight pieces of cardboard will be required. four of which must have the opening as already described. There will alto be necessary half a yard of material, 27. inches widens sheet of batting, a sheet of white watered paper and some good glne. Bfgin by making the back of the book first. . To do this divide the silk lengthwise, ' so that there will be two pieces, each 27 inches long. From the end of each piece cut oft two inches and place aside for subsequent use. Extend one of the 25-inch pieces, ripht side down, on the table. Place a layer of batting over the silk, and on the bnttiDg adjust at equal distances the four back pieces, allow ing sufficient space between each to permit the frame to be folded in book formv Then turn the edges of the ma terial being used for the cover and the batting over the back pieces nnd g'ue firmly in place. The end pieces of the silk are now brought into use. Divide them through the center, ro that there will be four pieces, although only three' are to be used. These pieces are to be glued in neatly between the cnnl-boards to hide the exposed batting at .the -hinges. The tops and bottoms of these strips will be, of course, turned under so es to avoid raw edges. To finish the backs glue over the cards pieces of watered paper, covering the ends of the Bilk which hove been previously glued to the boards. The object of this is to give the frame a finished ap pearance when completed. This fin-' Iches the back of the book frame, and it may be laid away to dry while the front pieces are. being covered. To cover the front piecrts proceed in the same way, omitting the batting. When v all ore covered glue them in position ' to the back pieces, leaving the bottom free to admit the photographs; place nnder a heavy weight and let remain' under pressure for 24 hours, so that the glue may become well set. Brocade, China silk, crepe, duck, denim and . embroidered linen are all used In the manufacture of these useful photo graph holders. Pretty frames of this sort may be made as gifts for friends, or brothers, sisters or cousins who ore at college, utilizing the college colors when select-' ing the covering; yellow and white for Bryn Mawr, rose and gray for Vassar, . blue and white for Barnard, blue for . Wellesley, orange and black for Prince- . ton, crimson for Harvard, dark blue for Yale, carnelian and white for Cor nell, blue and white for Columbia, pur- , pie and white for Amherst, red and blue for Pennsylvania, brown and white for Brown and black and blue for Johns Hopkins.
