0fziciaIs Say The Three Friends Never
Fired on the Spanish, VesaeI.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1s9s.-Accord-
ing to the best information obtainable
here the Federal officials at Key West
and Jacksonville in their proceedings
against the alleged fiiibuster Three
Friends. are acting under general instruc-
tions issued by the Department Of Justice
some time ago and not under any spe-
cfal directions to fit the case of the YES

Frank Clark, United States District AT

The charge which formed the basis for
the seizure Of the Three Friends in vio-
lation of Section 2S2s, Revised Statutes.
which reads: Every person who. within
the limits of the United States, fits out
and arp or premises to be fitted out
and armed. or knowingly is concerned in
the furnishing, fitting out or arrnlng, of

been procured for the building and equip
ment thereof, shall be forfeited, osle-half
to the use of the informer and the other
half to the use of the United States .
The officials Of the Spanish Legation,
say that If there had been the slightest
shred NJ truth In the sensational stories
published about the Three Friends fir-
ing upon Spanish gunboats. they would
have been promptly informed Of the facts
by Acting Captain General Ahumada III
Havana and It would have been the inn
perative duty Of the Spanish Legation to
have demanded the surrender Of the
boat and its officers to the Spanish Cow
ernment to be dealt with according to
the universally recognized law OF ma
tfoHS
Absolutely no report OF any such al

by embroidery bows, and confined Ivy Il
belt that matches the collar.
In general, it is found that the neck
is kept. well swathed by some e
or other. Laces and tulles are much
used for ruches. lace and embroidery
are frequently pleated inside high col
lars, and chiffon is often employed iii
ruches Of the sort this third picture dis
plays. This one is white, and is worn
with a bodice of green voile whose
yoke is trimmed with white braid in
the n shown and finished on the
lower edge with Topped soutache. 1t
is gathered into a white braid belt that
hooks invisibly At the side. and has a
wide boX-pleat in the center ornament
ed with two large steel buttons. Braid
garniture appears upon the sleeve puffs,
and lace frills ornament the wrists.
Three rows of braid and one row Of
buttons are put upon the skirt.
Despite the liking for the pompadour

the standard of fluffiness set by dress

portions. That for the knot includes

wards the top, and Mt the sides it IL
confined to what grows back Of a line
well behind the ears. This portion of
the hair, though not neglected, is not
subjected to the washing, airing, sun

coaxing that the rest must get. This
portion may be knotted with very little
reference to the hair that grows for
ward of the parting that limits the coil

The Temple or serpents.

The small town of Werda, in the
kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated for
a loathsome den called the Temple of
Serpents. 1t Is a long building dedi-
Gated to the priests and mystery men
of the kingdom, and in it they keep
thousands Of snakes of all kinds and
sizes. These Shiny, crawling creatures
literally own the village, as well as the
temple, which has been erected for
their special accommodation. and may
be seen hanging from the rafters and
door posts of any house in the town.
In Werda to kill a serpent is a crime
punishable by death. The serpents in
the sacred temple are fed by a regular
corps of hunters, who are paid for their
services out of the public exchequer.

SADDLES,
Some Gems Of Art Turned Out In the
Far West.

O~AS S~A
Far West.
All over North America for many
years Cheyenne saddles have been ia
nous, and every equestrian outside Of
the United States cavalry and Of the
Northwest mounted police of Canada,
has either had his horse tricked out
with Cheyenne leather, or has wished
he had. The fancy work on saddles,
holsters and stirrup hoods, that once
made Mexican saddlery famous and ex-
pensive, long ago was copied by the
Cheyenne makers, who kept up the
fame and beauty of American horse
trappings, but made them SO cheap
horsemen. In the old days when West
ern cattle ranged all over the plains
and the cowboy was in his glory, that
queer citizen would rather have q
Cheyenne saddle than a best girl. In
fact, to be without a Cheyenne saddle
and a first-class revolver was to be no
better than the sheep herders Of that
era.
When the writer was in Cheyenne
the other day the first places he looked
for were the saddle-makers' shops. He
was surprised to find only snowy,
first-class store Of the kind, and, instead
Of there being a crowd in front Of 1t,
there was no sign Of more business
than was going on at the druggists
near by, or the s%tationer's over the
way. The goods displayed in the WIN
1ows We're beautiful and extraordinary.
There were the glorious, heavy, hand
stamped saddles; there were the huge,
cumbrous tapaderos; there were the
lariats n ropes; the magnificent bits
that looked like Moorish art outdone,
and there were mule SINNERS and the
fanciful spurs, and, in short, the win
dOws formed a museum Of things that
a cowboy would have pawned his soul
for. The metal work was all such as a
cavalryman once declared it, "the most
elegant horse jewelry in creation"
Englishmen and Germans now buy
the fanciest and best trappings to send
abroad to their homes. Handicapped
saddles cost from $13 to $S5, but $35

knows a good thing will care to use.
Cowgirl saddles were on view-seyen
Of them-with rigging for side seats
and with stirrups made in slipper
shapes. 1t is not that there are really
half a dozen cowgirls in the world, or
half a dozen women like the Colorado
cattle queen. or the lady horse breeder
of Wyoming, but there are Western
girls who have to ride a great deal,
and they have fond fathers and broth
ers, and still fonder lovers; hence the
manufacture Of magnificent side-sad-
dies, all decked with handicapped pat
terms, and looking as rich as the rich
est Bedouin ever dreamed a horsegear
being made. There is still a good trade
in cowboy outfits that are ordered from
Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Col
orado and Texas, and similar goods go
to the horse ranches of Nevada, Idaho
and Oregon. Moreover, as long as
men ride horses there will be a trade
in fancy outfits for them.-Denver
