She Is a Domestic woman.


There is a woman in Washington this
week who embodies almost ideally the
qualities of sweet womanliness and profess
sional distinction. Though she is famous
in her profession, and her name is familiar
to every theater-goer, she maintains her
feminine charms and surrounds her life
with the domestic seclusiun which is the
desire and delight Of every true woman.
She is Miss Viola Alien. tse charming lead
ing lady of Mr.. Frohman's Empire Theater
Company. Miss Allenis belovedfor her ania-
bility and gracious sweetness by everyone
who comes in contact with her either on
the stage or in her home Size IL StudionS
reader and Is proficient in many Of the do
mestic arts which new women, with less
intellectual vigor than Miss Allen, repudi-
ate. She is always accompanied on her
tours by her sister, who sometimes passes
her evenings by appearing in the ballroom
scenes of the Empire plays.

If the trocha had never been built
Maceo would unqucstionably have joined
Maxino Gomez in the East long ago. As
IL is, he cannot risk the succession of fights
he would have to make, without cavalry.
There are, however. $4,000 men kept
stationary on the trociIa, who are doing
no harm to the urgeDts.
The devastation OF til e country would also
have the effect of making the campaign
more difficult. Hitherto the insurgent
scouts have received Information from the
country people. The Spaniards have not
sent out small bodies of scouts ,on account
OF the probability OF attack on them at
unexpected times and the difficulty they
found in getting correct news.
Maceo * well supplied with cartridges

on the few he could capture and on those

outset ordered the farmers to plant Their
fields with corn and rice, because they
can be kept for long periods. AT that
time wild pigs abounded in the hills ana
all that could be found were killed and

hads lived on these pigs and had rarely.

which lie prefers and wnien ne mus
easier to clean.
Maceo had a magnificent cavalry force
last March when he entered Pinar del Rio.
Since then the horses have died off quickly
from lack OF sufficient food and poor care
and treatment. 1t is doubtful if the insur-
gents now have more than nine hundred
horses in the entire province. This is the
secret Of Maceo's Unwillingness to leave
the hills. Without cavalry his movements
would necessarily be very slow.
The insurgents have clearings in the hills
planted with vegetables Each OF these
fields, with the surrounding encampment,
is called "a prefecture, and Is under the
control of n prefecto, civil officer with
full authority, who keeps records. Each
one has his assistants 70 carry the mail
through the hills and there is really tx

gers must give warning whenever the Span
escape to the woods.
NO MORE LUXURIEs.
The Cuban soldiers long enjoyed such lux
uries as coffee. sugar and tobacco in abun-
dance. and in the east they got aguardiente
and rum AS 1t became more difficult to
obtain fresh supplies, the articles most
needed we're salt and soap. The Spaniarus
were very careful not to allow either OF
these articles to be taken from the towns.
/ was without salt for three weeks, and
finally obtained handful at a cost of So.
Before the cultivation Of sugar prac-
ticaIly drove coffee out of the island there
were many coffee estates in the Pinar
del Rio hills, and the old trees have yielded
many berries to the insurgents. They still
get all the crude sugar they need by boil
ing cane in big kettles over their camp
fires. Their supply of tobacco is good.
Gen Weyler's edict to all residents of
the country TO leave their homes was a
serious blow to Maceo. Before then pa
cificos in sympathy with the rebellion
could go 10 towns for all they needed, and
by their aid Maceo's men could get clothes,
food and wine. Now shoes are almost a
curiosity IN the insurgent ranks The
men usually wear rude moccasins made
of hide.
The hills where Maceo carries on his
operations extend about thirty-five miles
from east to west, and eighteen miles
from north to south. The widest portion
of the range is scarcely ever visited in
times of peace, and is little known even
to residents OF that section. Beyond La
Palma, in the west, the hills are barren
and almost without undergro and
consequently give little opportunity for
secret movements.
