INSURGENTS MEAN BUSINESS.

LONDON, July 25.-The Times Ha-
vana correspondent telegraphs as fol-
lows: Since the news OF the death of
General ~Santocildes ON July II, the au-
thorities have had no news of Captain
General Martinez de Campos, despite
repeated inquiries to Santa de Cuba
and other points. Great fear that a
general uprising has taken place in the
province of Matanzas, which has been
in a restless condition. The defeat of
the Spanish troops, when Santocildes
was killed, has given an impetus to the
revolution, especially in the province
of Santiago de Cuba, where the iron
miners have joined the rebels.
Ihave seen a letter from General
Maxine Gomez explaining his reasons
for the proclamation forbidding work
on the plantations for the supply of
provisions to the town. He says that
while Spain obtains sufficient revenue
from Cuba to pay her soldiers the off,
cials will continue to rule. When the
revenue ceases they will retire. This
practically means that the insurgents
are prepared to ruin the whole country
in order to force SPANS hands.

bones were submitted for examination,
pronounced them portions of n human

tests, he said, but after a superficial ex-
animation, he had no doubt that they
were human bones. The find was
mysterious as neither the skull nor any
of the leg bones were found with the
ribs and bits Of vertebrae. A small
vial containing a peculiar looking fluid
was found with the skeleton, but its
nature could not be determined with
out tests, and it was accordingly sent
to a chemist for analysis.
The bones found were packed in
damp earth which had been mixed with
quicklime. Several ribs were found,
and with them, what resemb ed q bit

STYLISH FOOTGEAR,
What Fashion Dictates Is the Proper
Thing in Slippers.


The girl that has the best time at a
dance is the one that looks fresh, bright
and happy. She may not be pretty she
may not be clever, but she will have nu-
merons partners and thoroughly good
time. Therefore, it behooves every girl
not to look tired and to guard against
this she must have comfortable shoes. A
shoe that pinches in the least is bound to
stamp upon a girls features tagged ex-
preston before the evening is half over.
Yet, shoe may not pinch and still be very
fatiguing. A slipper especially may slip
up and down at the heel If too large and
cause almost as much discomfort as a
cramped feeling. Consequently, the girl
that wishes success in the ball room should
look well to the comfort of her shoes.
My ladys slippers for the coming winter
are very delicate and elaborate; even the
mules are in light colors, and sometimes
eXQuiSitely embroidered For instance, there
is pair of pale lavender satin, the toe
covered with fine network of pearls, with
one large pearl standing out prominently
In the center, like the pearl in finger
ring. Old pink shades of satin are traced
with ruby beads, and all the fascinating
iridescent combinations of the fashionable
passementeries are seen on the toes of
slippers, which are now selected to cor
respond with the trimming of the gown
rather than with the gown itself.
For toilet slipper, plain red kid is in
favor. the warmth of the color giving q
coy impression. Merely by looking at
them we fancy the little pointed toes rest
ing on the fender after the ball is over"
while the freight f1ickers over a soft, warm
dressing gown. with lace lying caressingly
about a white neck.
House slippers for ordinary use are in
three favorite designs: Fine black kid
closely embroidered with very small Jet
beads; patent leather, with large, broad
rhinestone buckle, resembling those from
heirloom knee brooches, placed quite high
on the instep; and patent leather, tied with
a bow to match the gown or the ribbon
on the goWn-for this is to be a ribbon
winter. These are very popular, for one
has only to tie in fresh bow to have vir-
tually, new pair of slippers. The bow
