FROM CUBA'S PRESIDENT.

Senior Palmas Denies that he is EH-
listing Men in America, and Asks for
His Patriots OnIy Guns in Place of
Machetes.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.--T. Estrada
Palmas, president of the provisional gov
ernment of Cuba, issues the following
card
'It is reported in the newspapers that
Senor Enrique Moreno, who, it is said,
represents himself as an agent of the
New York-Cuba Junt, is at St. Louis,
No., enlisting men for service in Cuba.
Such Report had no foundation in fact.
Senor Moreno is not an agent of the
New York Cuban Junta, nor do | know
who the gentleman Is.
"The Cuban Junta shall not know
ngly violate the laws of the United
States and it knows that enlistirg men
for military service is violation of the
law. Moreover, the Cuban revolution is
in no need of men. What it needs is
arms and ammunition for thousande of
men who so far are supplied with no
other weapon than the machete. Arms
and ammunition the Junta can buy with
in the law and will do so without con-
cealment.
Respectfully,
ST. ESTRADA PALNAs."

WHY GOLD GOES OUT
COMPTROLLER ECKELS SENDS
HIS FELLOW-CIrIZENs SOME
REASONS FROM ABROAD.
THE RESERVE $1,000, 600 SHORT

Assistant Treasurer Conrad w. Jordan
sayshe has not been Party in Formal
Conference, Advising a Bond-issue,
and Believes PierpOnt Morgan and
other Bankers to be Against 1.-THE
Comptroller Makes a Vicious Lunge
at Congress.
copyrighted by the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept 16.-The Hon. James
Fl. Eckels, Comptroller of the United
States Treasury, made the following
statement to day on the request Of a
representative of the Associated Press:
being thus far away from New
York and not knowing the exact local
conditions prevailing there which
are producing the shipments of gold
abroad, feel that | can say nothing
upon that subject that will benefit the
public. Generally speaking, these gold
shipments come about from the fact that
the American people are buying a great
deal alb; DAD and not selling sufficient of
their own produce to equalize things, thus
necessitating a settlement of the balance
due in gold We r Eaintain q fnan
cial system which makes the United
States Treasury general market supply
for those requiring gold Consequently,
more or less embarrassment comes
to the administration of the Treasury
Department when these balances
require to be settled However the
Treasury has always managed to main
tain unquestioned the payment in gold
Of It's obligations, and always will do so
The system under which it is forced 10
operate makes it sometimes expensive
to do so, but as long as representatives
in Congress refuse to change that sys
tenn, and as long as the voters tolerate
them, the people have nc right to com
plain OF the expense"
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 16 The
true amount Of the gold reserve at the
close of business to day was $95 34S, 642
Since the recent heavy shipments of gold
set in, the government has received a
number of offers of gold in exchange for
notes. This is practically true of banks
in the north west where small notes are
in active demand in moving the
grain crop Other banks, apparent
ly d1s1nterested, nave offered gSbd
ia exchange for silver certificates. Seve-
raj of the banks offered gold suspected
of being a little under weight, as 1t was
stipulated that it be received at its face
value. Some other conditions imposed
by Western banks could not be accepted,
but in all cases where the government
consistently could do so, the offers have
been accepted.
New YORK, Sept. 16 Assistant Treas
urer Conrad N. Jordan says in relation
to the printed story about probable
issue of government bonds:
II have been party TO no discussion
on the subject with either Mr.. Curtis or
any one else, except in an informal and
gossipy way, and have not attended any
formal conference.
''Mr. Curtis will confirm this state
ment. a great many of our leading
fnanciers, including, believe, Mr., J. P.
Morgan, do not consider new govern
ment loan advisable at the present time.
At all events, cannot confirm single
line of any of the statements contained
in the printed story referred to"

course; the natural ones need no such
commendation), which have lately filled
the windows of fashionable shops.
Wing shaped ornaments, more or less
spanglcd or iewcled, are feature of spring

small capotes and the apologies for bonnets
that are worn on dress occasions
Straw color continuing to be fashiona-

flowers of the season. Poppies of various
colors and roses are also much worn.
Suede, beige and grayish tints are in
vogue this spring, while rose, green and
mauve prcdominate among more decided
colors Notice has already been sven Of
the fashionable fancy for bright plaids in
silk or silk and wool goods.
A great deal of fancy woven material is
worn, not only of the crepon variety, but
in the line OF checks, diagonals and corded
goods. Brocaded taffctas are much liked,
the newest ones having a black figure on q
tinted ground.
The blouse of which an illustration is
given is of almond crepon. 1t is closed at
the side and has square plastron of gui-
pure over pansy silk. The bands of trim
ming arc of pansy velvet, as are the draped

gathered into deep cuff of guipure, the
