THE LATEST SLEEVE.

" HE latest sleeves are Il decided com
wv promise bet tween the small and the
large and they are much prcttier
than anything We have had since
the advent oi the balloon variety;
there are SO many styles. too, that one can
choose a becoming and fashionable sleeve
at the sanie time. Three deep ruffles in
stead OF a puff at the top. are very pretty,
and the bell puff with nearly all the fuliness
at the elbow is another style. Some of the
thin gowns have sleeves made of alternate
puffs and lace insertion. fitting the arm to
the shoulder. where there are double c-pointed
epaulets edged with lace. These sleeves
are made without any Inning aud frills Of
lace fall over the hands. Close sleeves
three-Quarter length in Ia wn dresses, trim
med with narrow lacc-edged ruffles. are
very pretty. The rufflcs are set in to cover
the entire sleeve. or in three groups nf three
each. one at the shoulder, another at the
edge. and one mid way bet ween. Evening
sleeves are short. and ruff!es of tulIe or
chiffon caught in the center, butterfly
fashion. are the prettiest OF all.

tionary forces only amounted TO about 1000 men.
The balance OF the island was In the undisurbed
possession Of the Spaniards. Now. by tho Presi-
dents statement a state OF active exists over
the entire country. 1t has been nearly two
years since the revolution started Almost the en-

NOVEL SUGGESTION
''The attempt Of the President force autonomy
the CuDanS VINO are StrlV1ng Tor emancipation
IL somewhat novel. Generally mediation has only
been entered upon when the other Of the con-
testing parties has requested IT, But here Spain.
while II has not declined the mediation apparently
has not requested H. while the project has all along
met with the unqualified condemnation of the Gu
bans, the parties supposed TO be benefited. How II
is proposed by the President to compel the Cubans
TO lay down their arms and return into the Spanish
fold Is not easy to perceive. although the Mes
sage speaks Of Spain ending the contest with our
friendly cooperation
For the first time in the history of the United
States our Government has undertaken to inter-
vene between revolutionary colony striving for
its liberty and the mother country. on any ground

now made by. the present Spanish Minister to any

During the Texan war Of independence England
proposed that we should with her offer media
e oH wnGn ~1 so and the Mexican
claim OF sovereignty-in other words. autonomy
view OF the position of the Texans we could only
intervene on the basis OF independence AS the
tonomy and do want It. this would seem sum
cient TO put an end TO all attempts In that direc-
ton. The Cubans have had large and varied ex
perence with socalled measures OF self-sovcrn-
ment. and they have determined not again to lay
down their arms and become colonial depen-
dency.
TALK OF FUTURE INTERVENTION
Tho President postpones for tho future any ac-
ton by Government which the condition OF
affairs may exact. Notwithstanding he intmates
that some action may be necessary. from consid-
rations OF humanity and OF the interests OF this
country. The result OF his view Of the subjec. is
that such time has not yet arrived. Yet he states
that he has reliable information that. should the
present condition OF devastation continue during
the current year. the ruin OF the island Will be
such that It is extremely doubtful II capital
be induced to make the attempt at resusctation.
He also shows tho general condition OF boodshed
to which the island is subject. and the inhuman
way In which the war is conducted. In view OF
these statements It Is difficult to how things
can In the future be worse than they now,
unless indeed. the island is entirely devastated and
depopulated.
III there is any ground suggested for future In
tervention II Is only on state OF facts which
now actually exists The period when the action
of this Government may be necessary seems to be
deferred by the President to the time when tho
surrection has become manifest and It Is demon
strated that her sovereignty Il extinct In Cuba
