The semi-official North German Gazette publishes what is believed to be an in- spirea article on the Cretan question.

NECESSITATES A BRIEF Aquatic Sports Are Postponed, but Not So With Indoor Pieasures NAVAL OFFICERS GUESTS AT A DANCE. Entertainment Provided for Admira: B ardslee and the Warshp Commanders. SAN DIiEGO, CaL., Feb. 20.—With peals of thunder and flashes of lightning Colo- nel Jupiter us assumed command of the big water carnival as grand marshal, and all day the bigh winds and furious | downpour have attested his supreme dicta- torship. To-night, after neerly two inches of rain has falien, the atmosphere seems somewhat clearer and the god of storms | may conciude to depart to-morrow and allow the festivities to go on without his presence—I/or which favor, if granted, the 3000 visitors now in the city, as well as the 20.000 people who call San Diego *home,” will be truly grateful. Secause of the storm and the high sea | the aquatic sports have all been postponed until Tuesday afternoon, and the visitors to-day dragged themselves about ' the city or doleiuliy warmed their feet by cheerless oil stoves in hotels and lodging-houses. A telegram received by Mayor Carlson from Washington to-night reads as fol- President senc no oWoodon British gunt at Combks warching in land parade at San Diego Waler Carnival. OLNEY, Secretary of State. Thus, on the eve of the carnival the sea- fighters of her British Majesty are given permission for the first time, as far as known, to march as an armed force on American soil, and this, 100, on the anni- ver of the birth of the manof =all o sallors of | others who was most responsible for the severing of the ties which bound this nation to the “mother country.” More thun thi ptain Dyke of the Comus has signified his cesire to march in the parade of Monday morning and at STORMS in honor of Washington, the American. In an interview to-night Captain Dyke said: “Time was when I thought 1 might some day march on the soil of this repub- lic, but T never dreamed the occasion would be as felicitous as the present one.” -All during the storm to-day one event has been looked forward to with the great- est enthusiasm by those who were for- | tunate enough to secure invitations, and | the number was nearly 800, It was the ball at the Coronado | Hotel in honor of Rear-Admiral Beardslee and the officers of the vesseis of the Norih | Pacific Squadron now in port. The list of guests of honor was not con- fined to United States naval officers, for Captain Dyke and the officers of her Majesty’s ship Comus are included as guests of the carmival. And so 1t was to-night that while the rain fell fiercely upon the great vaulted dome of the spacious baliroom and the huge breakers of the Pacific dashed their spray azainst the windows outside several hundred men and women danced the hours away, while the splendid band of the flagship Philadelpbia sent forth its be- | witehing strains of melody. To Thomas Hill, the famous artist ot Yosemite Valley, belongs the credit of the aecorations within the ballroom. It was ‘ bis scheme entirely. for he had made an | elaborate water-color sketch of the entire | plan and the decorators religiously fol- | lowed every detiil. They transformed | the lofty dome of the auditorium into a leafy canopy, with eucalyptus boughs ana branches radisting from the galleries. Garlands and festcons of smlax, banks of white blossoms and bamboo, covered the walls and columns and gracelfully out- | lined the loges set apart for the patr esses and the naval officers, The priva boxes on the stage were also decorated with palms and potted plants, smilax and bam boo. Tus woodland bower, illuminated by the rosv glow of shaded electric lights and graced by the presence of dainty belles and popular beaux, resplendent in gorzeous gowns or uniforms, was one which 1t delighted the eye to gaze upon. At 8:30 o’clock the ball opened with an overturs by the band, during which the admiral received his guests standing in the parlors at the right of the entrance. | For over an hour tha guests passed through the entrance into the ballroom beyond. At 9:30 o’clock the band struck up the graad march, which was led by Admiral Beardsles and Mrs. Works, Goddess of the carnival. Two hundred couples joined | in the promenade. Following the Admi- ral and Mrs. Works came the officers of the navy according to rank. Arouna and across the ballroom they went through many intricate and beautiful figures, led by Patterson Sprigg, who is | past master in the art of military dancing. At the completion of the murch the long column halted opposite the admiral's | loge, where, with his staff and a party of | ladies, he reviewed the dancers in military style. | The programme‘opoied with the Iancers | ana continued until 10:30 o’clock, when | supper was . announced iu the banquet- | room. Here an elaborate banquet bad been spread. The revelry continued ua- | til the last fer/y left for San Diego. To-morrow no particular programme will be followed, but tie city's guests wiil | be given an opportunity to go whither they will. Excursions will be run to all polnts of interest in the bay region and receptions wiil be held all day on the war- ships in the harbor.

The crew of the Briush cruiser Comus will march on American soil. Altogether there will be fully 1500 satlors, marines and soldiers in line, and the parade, being stretly military, will be peculiarly imposing. The afternoon will be given up to football, races and various amusements, and at 8 o'clock t e center | of attraction will be transierred to tne bay, where the great water carnival is to take place. If ever there existed an ideal sheet of water for this purpose San Diego Bay is that same. Stretening gracefully for fourteen miles in length and less than two in its greatest breadth, its waters ever placid beneath skies that never frown, it is one of the most beautiful crea- tions of nature. Exactly as the clock strikes a gun will be fired from the bow of the gorgeously decorated and brilliantiy lighted barge of the Goddess of the carnival, Mrs. Lews Reed Works. This will be the signal for the al procession to start. The head launch will lead off from a beacon | near the steamship wharf, and moving | westward down the bay the procession of twenty-four brilliaptly illuminated launches, each having three or more boats in tow, will puss in review before the ad- | miral and the fieet of warships. The procession will be more than two miles in length, and the fireworks display will last over two hours. Allthe war- ships will be illuminated by electricity, 1d scores of Japanese lanterns will be | suspend. from every yard. Seven | ihousand Japanese lanterns and 3000 | | colorea Roman candles will be used in the display, besides several thousand pounds of Greek fire.

Notwithstauding that comrittees of the | two organizations met in the most con- ciliutory and amicable spirit, they were | unable to agree upon a union. Had a union been effected both parties seemed | entirely agreeable to the application of any sarplus to a reduction of assessments | and the payment of whatever debts the two organizations might have against them. It was impossible for the representa tives of the United Press to secure a | union which would protect either their | allied organizations or their members and | chients as individuals. This was the chief reason why negotiations came to an end. The United Press committee desires to i form its members and clients that with | the cordiai ncial loyal co-operation of | all the New York members ana its allied members all over the country arrange- ments have been made by which the United Press will continue on a sound paying basis. This guaranteesa perma- nent and thoroughly effective service. The United Associated Presses have to- tal receipts of more than $1,000,000 per anpum. With this volume ot business it is idle to assume that a strong, efficient and permanent service caanot be mair tained. This wiil be done, and eve member and client of the United Assoc ated Presses can feel assured that he wi | have a permanext and satisfactory servics. | The Sun resnmes its former relations to | the United Press and renews its allegiance | and hearty support of the organization.

SKIN HUMOR ON BABY Head and Entire Body Covered. Itching Intense, Would Scratch Till Biood Came. Had to Put Mittens on His Hands To Keep Him from Tearing His Skin. One Application of CUTICURA Soothes Him to Sleep. Complete Cure. ‘When my little boy was about three months old his head broke out with a rash, which was very itchy and ran considerable watery fluid. We tried everything we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body, and he got 80 bad that he came near dying. The rash would itch o that he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin, yellowish stuff would beall over his pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin around his wrists. He got 80 weak and run down that he took fainting epells like we would think him dying. He was almost a skeleton, and his little hands were thin like claws. He was bad about eight months when we tried CUTICURA REMEDIES. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the day time for a long time. He had got 80 that he just slept in our arms all the time. I washed him with CUTICURA SOAP, and put on one application of CUTICURA, and he was so_soothed that I put him in his cradle. You don’t know how giad I felt he felt better. It took one box of TTICURA, pretty near one cake of CUTICURA Soar, and about half a bottle of CUTIOCURA RESOLVENT to cure him. 1 think our little boy would have died only for CUTICURA REM- EDIES, and I shall always remain a firm friend of them.
