WHERE Is CUBA ATp


The reports of the conditions
\existing in Cuba are so conflicting
dhat no dependence can be placed
tRon them. All that comes from
tine Cuban authorities represents
the Spanish troops as losing in
every encounter with the insur-
gents, and that with heavyfloss
compared to the forces engaged,
while the insurgent loss is put
down as trifling. In such reports
the advantage of numbers is al
ways credited to the government
forces. On the other hand, the
Spanish reports are very different
showing only irregular and ill
drilled forces Of the enemy, sally
ing out at intervals and always re-
pulsed by the regular troops Of
Spain when a conflict OCCURS. The
reports that come from Idisinter-
ested parties, who reach the Unit-
ed States and have opportunity for
free expression of opinion, do not
agree with either of the statements
from the belligerents. These re-
present the fight as a guerrilla
warfare, largely waged.for repris-
ais and plumber of those who be-
long to the !other side tateAthe
terrible ravages that disease is
making in the ranks of the Span
ish levies and declare that little
actual fighting is going on, but
that the business of the
island is destroyed and the
sugar planters almost sruined.
Taking the whole body .of iinfor-
| nation from all sources and there
is nothing in the situation to en-
courage the friends of Cuban indie
| pendence to look for the speedy
accomplishment of their desires.
1t is bad condition of affairs. A
game in which both parties are
losing. The Spaniards, the sreve-
nues of the country and the support
of whatever elements in Cuba were
loyal; the insurgents, the conf
dence of the large business in
terests of the island and certain
ty of missing their efforts for its
| independence. The leading plant
ers on the island and the mer-
chants are one in concluding that
a separate and Independent gov
eminent cannot be formed out of
the elements there existing in the
face of the great preponderance of
Negro and mixed blood. This fact
is of itself disheartening, as it
necessitates the intervention of
some foreign power to finally es-
tabIish government and restore
peace. Either that, or a cOnceS-
sion from Spain which she shows
not the least disposition to grant.

Chameleon Taffeta Ribbons.

Harper 3 Bazaar.
The latest fnportations in millinery and
dress trimmings are chameleon taffeta
ribbons four to six inches wide. They are
used as large bows and great choux on
round hats, and also in ruches around the
crown of large shade hats.
Their best use. however, is to furnish
crepon gowns OF last summer AS these
were very generally completed by black
satin ribbon as a collar and belt, with
large collarette of white lace, they arc
conspicuous this season as no longer new.
To make them up to date the black satin
Is replaced By a draped collar and narrow
belt OF green and blue chameleon taffeta
ribbon. A large aigrette bow, or one with
broad loops. completes both belt and coll
lar. Instead OF the white collar a shallow
yoke IS added in front of back net thickly
wrought with iridescent green and blue
spangles, and a very effective bow OF the
glowing ribbon is placed each side of the
bust close to the armholes. The sleeves
have draped cuffs of the ribbon About
