from There.
WASHINGTON , Mny 13. The Navy de
partment was nil excitement this morning
ipon the receipt of ttio news that Admiral
Sampson's squadron hail begun ( ho bom-
mrdmcnt of San Juan do Porto Illco , and
uel was added to tha flames when the news
camp later that the Spanish flying squadron
md been sighted oft Martinique , giving
iromlso of heavy fighting to coma. The fact
hat the admiral gave notice of his Intention
o bombard San Juan , as Is reported from
St. Thomas , Is an Indication that the move-
nent upon San Juan was not a suddenly con
ceived project , but a well matured plan.
Whether or not the orders to the admiral In
cluded n bombardment Is not disclosed at
ho Navy department. Indeed there Is noth-
ng In Sampson's report to Indicate that ho
really did bombard the place. He merely at-
: ackcd the forts nt the entrance of the har
bor , and If any shells struck within the
town Itself , they were stray shots. It Is
surmised that Admiral Sampson's object In
making the attack In this fashion , without a
andlnR force of troops In reserve to occupy
.ho town if It was captured , was to destroy
; ho fortifications and make the harbor use-
ess to the Spanish Hying squadron Is n place
of refuge. The reports so far received show
that ho did not complete that undertaking
yesterday and the question now Is whether
lie will resume hts work today or will bo di
verted from It by the report of the presence
of the Spanish squadron In the neighborhood
of Martinique.
It Is learned that the Spanish fleet was
first sighted on the morning of the day be
fore yesterday off the north coast of
Martinique , and was again sighted yester
day morning 'on the west coasl , hull down ,
and the Indications arc It Is taking a full
supply of coal at Martinique to replenish the
bunkers exhausted by the trip from Capo
Verde. , Sampson already knows of Its move
ments , for the United States scout , Harvaid ,
which put Into Martinique yesterday. Is said
to have found there ono of the torpedo

Black and white costumes In organdie , batiste , India munlln and other sheer fab
rics , trimmed with frills and Insertions of lace , promise to bo very popular during
the summer season.
A simple example of black and white combination Is an organdie gown with a
charming little corsage made with a deep-pointed ruffle , back and front alike , which
falls very full from a double row of shirring , and finishes In Jabot effect at the point.
ThU frill continues over the sleeves , producing a graceful breadth acrois the shoulder.
The front and back ot the corsage are slightly full at the wulat line. The high
collar Is draped , and the square yoke of fulled muslin Is framed at the nhoulderi by
band * of black velvet ribbon , with butterfly , bows at the ends. An additional touch
of black Is given by the girdle and velvet baby ribbons that border tha entire ruffle
In several row * and edge the frills of the sleeves , which are shirred from shoulder to
wrist , with a tiny ruflle in each seam. The skirt , a six-gored model , Is trimmed
with Insertions , banded with black vclvcl ribbon , which forms points in front and
pass round about the skirt behind. The lowest band forms the heading of a
flounce , which , deep In front and growing gradually narrow In the back. Is trimmed
with rows of the'narrow velvet. The skirt , three and three-quarters yards wide , U made
over a foundation of the same form. The backs of bqth are cloudy gathered. The
proper cut of the gown can be only obtained from the cut paper patterns ,
published by Harper's Bazar , where It appears.
Approximate quantity ot material uiusllu , twelve yard * ; InBcrtlou , ten yardy
